Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses […]

Apprising Ministries has been among those who have been warning of the semi-pelagianism within evangelicalism.

And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. (1 Samuel 14:6) Looking For A Few […]

With all the revisionist history going on today and “Protestant” evangelicalism’s sordid lust affair with Roman Catholic mystics and their Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism this short post here at Apprising Ministries is to draw to your attention to the fact that Martin Luther himself considered Roman Catholicism apostate.
