Apprising Ministries reminds you that the Elephant Room 2 detonated as an explosion within evangelicalism and the aftermath continues spreading shockwaves. No doubt in the coming days we’ll see even more cracks in The Gospel Coalition, Acts 29 Network, and Harvest Bible Fellowship itself. One shockwave we saw immediately was in James MacDonald, Elephant Room […]

The following by Dr. Gary Gilley, pastor of Southern View Chapel, is republished at Apprising Ministries with permission: (February/March 2012 – Volume 18, Issue 1) Almost everyone on the cutting edge of Christianity is talking about spiritual formation. From books to magazine articles to sermons to seminary courses, spiritual formation is a hot topic. What […]

Apprising Ministries reminds you that while the issue of women being ordained elders and pastors has been debated within some of evangelicalism, up until now it’s been essentially contained within the more charismatic and Pentecostal fringes. The more mainstream denominations, e.g. the Southern Baptist Convention, have for the most part still maintained the proper Biblical position that […]

Apprising Ministries has long been a leading critic of the semi-pelagian (at best) doctrine of Southern Baptist megachurch pastor Rick Warren. In articles like Rick Warren And Teachings Of Demons I’ve also clearly documented his sinful ecumenicism as well. Of course that’s merely one of the fruits within apostatizing evangelicalism because of its foolish fascination with corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism. Now I point you […]

Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. Some of the Epicurean […]

If you would ever be a healthy and scriptural Christian, I entreat you to beware of any ministry which does not plainly teach the reality and eternity of hell. Such a ministry may be soothing and pleasant, but it is far more likely to lull you to sleep than to lead you to Christ or build […]

In Pastrix Paula White Set To Be Crowned Queen here at Apprising Ministries I first began covering what turned out to be a rather odd story, which actually broke during Super Bowl weekend. There we found out that Florida Courier was carrying a story indicating that “Rabbi” Ralph Messer was supposedly going to crown White queen “during a Super […]

Apprising Ministries reminds you that there’s a very clear and present danger in all of this Protestant evangelical embrace of Counter Reformation Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). Tragically CSM, along with a parallel track running an increase of divination in charismania, lulls many in the professing Christian community into a coma of complacency and into believing the spiritual war between Christ and […]

…they are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. (Isaiah 2:6) Opening The Door For CSM In The “Protestant” SBC Apprising Ministries is one of the few labors in the Lord which is addressing the current drift away from sola Scriptura in contemporary […]
