But if I say, “I will not remember Him, Or speak anymore in His name,” Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire, Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it. (Jeremiah 20:9) Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism Leads To Reimagined Neo-Gnostic Asceticism The original Cult of Liberal […]

In the Apprising Ministries article Man-Centered Gospel vs. God-Centered Gospel I pointed out that sola fide and sola gratia as used in the Protestant Reformation mean that while the sinner is dead in his trespasses and sins God Himself sovereignly regenerates those whom He will, which is the soli Deo gloria of monergism. And I also shared that the contemporary American […]

The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. […]

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the […]

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

So he wrote to me wondering if I was aware of this sad issue. I pointed out that CRN covered […]

Appealing To Apostate Roman Catholic Monks For Protestant “Spiritual Formation” Due to the importance of the issues concerning the influx into evangelicalism of corrupt Contemplative/Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) and its so-called “Christian” meditation of Contemplative/Centering Prayer(CCP)—which flowered in the antibiblical monastic traditions of apostate Roman Catholicism, i.e. no longer Christian—Apprising Ministries is doing all we can to bring […]

Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.” (Jeremiah 14:14) Evangelical Rip Van Winkles Call A Quaker Mystic For Their Bedtime Stories […]

At this point as we are Meditating On Contemplative/Centering Prayer I am going to shift gears a bit and begin to take a closer look at why it is we’re told we must practice the so-called “Christian” meditation of Contemplative/Centering Prayer (CCP)—that actually flowered in the antibiblical monastic traditions of apostate Roman Catholicism and which is central to the theology of […]
