Apprising Ministries has been keeping you updated on Warrengate; and here in this post, I point you to the Iron Sharpens Iron website of my friend Chris Arnzen. Now Phil Johnson, who works closely with Dr. John MacArthur and blogs at Pyromaniacs has weighed in on Warrengate.  From the ISI website:  Phil Johnson, president of […]

You’re likely aware that Dr. John Piper opened up Warrengate when he made a mistake by inviting Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to be a keynote speaker at the Desiring God Conference 2010. Here Apprising Ministries is pleased to remind you about a book called Redefining Christianity: Understanding the Purpose-Driven Movement by pastor Bob DeWaay, Senior Pastor of Twin City Fellowship. In my mind […]

Apprising Ministries has told you that gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker heads up a a rather rapscallion bunch spiritually who call themselves Outlaw Preachers, which is a subset of the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church de-formation of the Christian faith. And Bakker wanted to make sure we knew about: via @huffingtonpost: Why Do Evangelicals Dislike Me So Much? http://huff.to/9ll5ix (Online source) Following […]

“You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16, NASB)  Rotten Progressive Christianity As a pastor-teacher, I offer this here at Apprising Ministries as a real good look at the fruit being produced by the updated Progressive Christianity being spread by the neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church with its de-formation of the Christian faith called Emergence Christianity. This is the new […]

Ever since Dr. John Piper made the unfortunate mistake of asking Rick Warren to be a keynote speaker for the Desiring God Conference 2010 at Apprising Ministries I’ve been keeping you updated on the events surrounding Warrengate. You may know that John Piper released a video detailing the reasons why he decided to extend this […]

Apprising Ministries draws your attention to Is the meaning of Easter being lost? by Kate Shellnutt of the Houston Chronicle where she reminds us of a couple of sad facts. Unfortunately however, Shellnutt is right when she says: Just as Christmas for many has become less about the miracle of the virgin birth, Easter may be losing […]

Apprising Ministries points you to a couple of pieces concerning heretical Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren and his latest book A New Kind of Christianity (ANKoC). Previously I’ve told you that in ANKoC McLaren, through “10 questions that are transforming the faith,” has begun laying out the newer version of Progressive Christianity which the Emergent Church is calling Emergence Christianity. First there’s the curious headline for a […]

Apprising Ministries now brings you a segment from the April 1 edition of the Fighting for the Faith program of Christian apologist Chris Rosebrough on Pirate Christian Radio. In this program, much like those who would stick their head into a dumpster looking for edible scraps of food, you’ll hear people performing a spiritual version of this same fruitless […]
