If the Bible were but read and prayed over, many errors would be sorely crippled. Had that inspired Book been read in the past, many errors would never have arisen. Search you then, the Book of God, I pray you; and whenever you find there, be sure to attend therto. At all costs, keep to […]

This is a follow-up to the Apprising Ministries piece Doug Pagitt And The Emerging Church Agenda and gives you more evidence concerning the so-called “conversation” of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC). You need to understand that this cult of a postliberalism, now firmly within mainstream evangelicalism, was always a “revolution” with […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been covering the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC)—and which is now a cult of a postliberalism firmly within mainstream evangelicalism—for some five years now. As you may know the EC is sometimes also called “the conversation”; however, any […]

Apprising Ministries has warned in posts e.g. Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism? and Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention that for years now Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin and Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard has been rapidly spreading throughout mainstream evangelicalism under the guise of spurious Spiritual Formation. What follows is yet another sad case in point. Yesterday […]

Heretical quasi-universalist Doug Pagitt is beyond question a key voice in the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC)—and which is now a cult of a postliberalism firmly within mainstream evangelicalism.  Well, it seems that Pagitt and others around him have recently been under some kind of attack. Last night Pagitt tweeted: Strangely […]

I’ve pointed out many times now that as a general rule, and a courtesy, we do not publish email without the permission of the sender. However at the same time, all email sent to AM and Christian Research Network is considered the property of Apprising Ministries so we may indeed publish unsolicited email for the purposes of […]

Apprising Ministries has pointed out that Samir Selmanovic has been integral to the birth of  the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC), and which is now a cult of a postliberalism firmly within mainstream evangelicalism. Just a bit ago today Selmanovic tweeted: Fr. Rohr: Faith is a learned “tolerance 4 ambiguity,” I no longer use knowledge […]

Continuing along the line of the Apprising Ministries post Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, our friend Carla over at her More Books and Things blog brings to our attention: The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship describes themselves as an organization that promotes the study and renewal of Christian worship around the world. Their intended target is a […]
