But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord Who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these […]

Surveying the rising ecumenical spirit found in much of the American Christian Church and its love affair with man-centered church growth methods, there is much reason for concern that the Protestant reforms of evangelicalism are not so subtly being reversed in order to find stronger fellowship with the Roman Catholic Church. But is this drift […]

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, KJV) Modernism To PostModernism—Liberalism To Postliberalism I begin this article for with an explanation as to why Apprising Ministries has […]

Below here at Apprising Ministries you will see beyond a shadow of a doubt that Emerging Church pastor Rob Bell agrees with New Age priestess Marianne Williamson concerning the nature of man.

It was a blessing that the Lord graced me with yet another chance to be a guest on the Crosstalk program from VCY America and to join host Ingrid Schlueter.

Apprising Ministries brings to your attention the link to an audio clip from a sermon by D.A. Carson called “Keeping Up With The Conversation” posted over at Reformation Underway.

“…let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has […]

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, […]

This short piece from Apprising Ministries is to help you recognize that more and more people are becoming convinced through the dubious doctrines of spurious Spiritual Formation to see corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) and its Contemplative/Centering Prayer (CCP), which flowered in the antibiblical monastic traditions of apostate Roman Catholicism as a viable way to approach […]
