[They’re] always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7, NASB).

Steven Furtick, disciple of Perry Noble and one of the Popes of the Carolinas, tweets today: stevenfurtick Before you offer criticism remember: it’s probably not new information. They already know.

Apprising Ministries has already told you that Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has actually been been up to spiritual monk-ee business for years now in pushing the door open for corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster—and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard—within the mainstream of evangelicalism.

Apprising Ministries has pointed out before e.g. in Erwin McManus: Finding God Inside Of Yourself that Southern Baptist “distinguished futurist and cultural architect” Erwin McManus was very close to becoming one of the original youth leaders and youth ministers selected back in 1997 by Doug Pagitt for what would become the Terra Nova Project of Leadership Network (LN).

…or just another typical day with Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren. Seriously, I wonder if this guy even pays attention to what he says himself. Today Warren tweeted: You can be straight as a rifle barrel doctrinally & just as empty spiritually. “Without love I am nothing!” 1 Cor13:2 (Online source) Uh-huh, […]

With pleasure Apprising Ministries now points you to an excellent, and insightful, piece called Village Idiots by Phil Johnson, who blogs at the well-respected Pyromaniacs, and is also Executive Director of John MacArthur’s Grace to You. Johnson begins: Emergent Village is collapsing on itself. The EV Weblog, once a busy and heavily-trafficked stream of Emergent semi-consciousness […]

They probably wouldn’t be so quick to do what Extreme Theology talks about in the post Playing the Pharisee Card: What do you do when you confront someone with their false doctrine and Bible twisting and they accuse you of being a Pharisee?
