Many already know that Christian Research Net, a sister online apologetics and discernment ministry to Apprising Ministries, has a “shadow” blog where some self-appointed watchdogs just took it upon themselves to “monitor” i.e. criticize CRN, even going so far as to call themselves CRN.Info and Analysis.

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these […]

Apprising Ministries showed e.g. in Jay Bakker Sends Ken Silva A Gift that “gay affirming pastor” Jay Bakker is the one choosing to further involve me in his dealings with my friend Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio, which I also touched on previously in Chris Rosebrough And Jay Bakker. Like I have already told Bakker, […]

Being one with a heart for young people the “trance formation dance” I’m going to bring to your attention here in this Apprising Ministries piece is a very dangerous thing for anyone to be doing—let alone impressionable youth. As another example of the Impact of Apprising Ministries, Georg Walter had written me asking if he could translate my […]

In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end. (Psalm 102:25-27) Mysticism Leads To The […]

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:12) But Must You Be So Blunt In What You Say? Now I readily acknowledge there are those who have taken serious […]

In this version of his Fighting for the Faith podcast from his Pirate Christian Radio apologist Chris Rosebrough does a serious and thorough deconstruction of the gospel-less gospel of Rob Bell, a popular icon in the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC).
