If you are following the ongoing issue of the postliberal cult of Emergence Christianity here at Apprising Ministries you will see me talk about their reimagined version of the old social gospel as perpetrated by their forebears in the original Cult of Liberal Theology.

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.

Being one with a heart for young people the “trance formation dance” I’m going to bring to your attention here in this Apprising Ministries piece is a very dangerous thing for anyone to be doing—let alone impressionable youth.

May God be praised for touching lives through Apprising Ministries well beyond our local community via the Lord using the Internet to spread His Truth, not unlike He once did house churches in the ancient Church.

In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end. (Psalm 102:25-27) Mysticism Leads To The […]
