Yes, you read that right and if the “Christian” clowns among the leadership of the Emerging Church get their way of finding God in ”the Other” this kind of lunacy in the Lord’s Name will become more commonplace within apostatizing evangelicalism.

Over at Renew America Marsha West begins her article concerning an important announcement by a very influential Emerging Church theologian: Emergent Church guru Tony Jones, the former national coordinator of Emergent Village, has been holding the issue of homosexuality “in abeyance” because “homosexuality is one issue that I don’t want to get wrong.” On November 23 he […]

Saddleback Church Pastors Using Rob Bell Teachings here at Apprising Ministries clearly showed that Emerging Church icon and teacher of corrupt Contemplative Sprituality/Mysticism (CSM) Rob Bell has penetrated deeply into the mainstream of the evangelical community.
