He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. (Titus 1:9) It Is The Job Of The Pastor To Clearly Articulate Sound Doctrine For His Flock As near as I can tell, sadly, there really doesn’t seem […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20, ESV) A Ball Of Confusion; That’s What The Church Is Today That state of the visible church in the evangelical community is really rather pitiful indeed; and, there’s just no easy way to say […]

Apprising Ministries is in agreement with pastor John Chisham and let me also point out that while close may count in horseshoes, when it comes to someone’s eternal destiny, it still misses by an eternity. How tragic that the Body of Christ continues being so misrepresented by such a semi-pelagian self-seeking lover of the self as Rick Warren. I echo […]

Taste and see that the Lord is good; and before I share the below words of encouragement from Charles Spurgeon, which were in my morning devotions just today, there’s something I wish to say as a pastor. Years ago when Dr. Walter Martin was first rising up through the ranks in the early 60’s doing counter-cult evangelism […]

The Emergent Church leaders like Doug Pagitt are truly quite excited about discovering God in “the Other” and his pal Rob Bell, the Elvis of Emerging, is preaching the need to become globalcentric because God is bigger than any of “our tribes.” My question is: If existential feeling is our criterion for accepting the subjective experiences […]

They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand. (Isaiah 44:18) Seeking Spiritual Loopholes To An Inclusive Global Religion Of The Love Of Self Dr. Samir Selanovic, who was serving on the Coordinating Group for Emergent Village, contributes a chapter called “The […]

 “I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest,” declares the Lord GOD. I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy I will feed them with judgment.” (Ezekiel 34:15-16)  The PostLiberal Cult Of The […]

Henry Nouwen: One of the discoveries we make in [contemplative/centering] prayer is that the closer we come to God, the closer we come to all our brothers and sisters in the human family. God is not a private God. The God who dwells in our inner sanctuary is also the God who dwells in the […]

Saddleback Church Pastors Using Rob Bell Teachings here at Apprising Ministries clearly showed that Emerging Church icon and teacher of corrupt Contemplative Sprituality/Mysticism (CSM) Rob Bell has penetrated deeply into the mainstream of the evangelical community. So far so that Bell’s weekly sermons are recommended, and his Nooma DVDs sold, by pastors of the highly influential Saddleback Church (SC) of Rick Warren, which is aligned with the […]

Recently in Emergent Church Theologian Tony Jones and his Unrepentant Homosexual Christians here at Apprising Ministries we covered the story of the coming out of a very influential leader and theologian in the Emerging Church who declared his belief that unrepentant practicing homosexuals can be Christians. And even though I vigorously disagree with him I do commend Tony Jones for caring enough, and being man […]
