The other day in Rick Warren And Teachings Of Demons here at Apprising Ministries I reminded you — Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). I then pointed out a couple of the major teachings of demons that are […]

Here at Apprising Ministries I began covering Oprah Winfrey’s visit last Sunday to the Lakewood self-help center of Joel Osteen in As She Visits His Church Joel Osteen Celebrates What God Is Doing With Oprah Winfrey. As murky postmodernism is spreading syncretism within the visible church this kind of thing has now become necessary for at least a couple of reasons. […]

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of […]

God wants to be worshiped for who He is, for what He has done in the way He has declared. It is open season on abusing the Holy Spirit, outrageous dishonor of the Holy Spirit claiming He is saying things and doing things and generating things that have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit […]

Apprising Ministries continues warning you that spiritual deceptions are on the increase within the mainstream of the evangelical community as it surrenders the proper Christian spirituality of sola Scriptura for corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). In Biblical terms we say of this spurious CSM — Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by […]

Recently in Peter Scazzero Try Silence here at Apprising Ministries I reminded you that well known compromised pastor Peter Scazzero joins with other pathetic Protholics like Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren in defecating upon the blood of the Reformers. In that previous piece I told you that Scazzero’s shtick is sowing corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and […]

In earlier Apprising Ministries articles like and Christian Soldiers Standing Up For Jesus? and the semi-satirical Recipe For Spiritual Disaster I’ve been trying to bring to your attention how a Rodney King theology of, “Can’t we all just get along” is serving to cripple the witness of the church visible. A major factor contributing to this is […]

Apprising Ministries told you in SBC Lifeway Youth Camp Pastor Sam Nuckolls Arrested For Video Peeping that the traveling evangelist had been arrested on charges of video peeping. It’s alleged that while staying as a guest in their home Sam Nuckolls used a pen with a hidden camera in it in order to record the wife in the shower. As I also pointed […]

Yesterday in the Apprising Ministries piece Thomas Merton And The Gospel Coalition Blog I pointed you to The iPhone as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Gospel Coalition contributor Mike Cosper, “pastor of worship & arts” at Sojourn Community Church. A major focus of AM is tracking the infection of Counter Reformation spirituality and Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala gurus Dallas […]

Apprising Ministries continues documenting the spread of Counter Reformation spirituality and Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala gurus Dallas Willard and his spiritual twin Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster spreading within largely pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism. By all accounts apostate Roman Catholic mystic monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968) is a superstar of CSM, particularly the practice and teaching of its crown jewel, […]
