Apprising Ministries remains thankful for the small handful of faithful financial supporters, a couple of which have been with us from the beginning, making it possible for me to continue to do this important work. I’m very grateful for your generosity because an online apologetics and discernment ministry like this, being non-denominational, depends entirely upon the gifts of […]

(1 Timothy 4:1) God Is Not Trying Bring Unity In The Visible Church Apprising Ministries continues documenting the sad slide of evanjellyfish deeper into apostasy as spiritual darkness grows.

For many years Apprising Ministries—one of the few online venues who would tell you the truth straight up—has tracked the sad decline of Rob Bell, the rock star pastor of the Emerging Church. You likely know that he’s resigned from Mars Hill Bible Church and turned it over to his good friend and fellow apostate Shane Hipps to […]

Just as in times past there were false prophets in Israel, there are now false teachers among us. They’ve cunningly introduced destructive heresies. They even deny the Lord who, through His atonement bought them. By doing these things these false teachers will bring swift destruction on themselves! Many are following their shameful ways and they […]

Evangelicals are quick to praise Charles Spurgeon, who stood tall for the purity of God’s Gospel during the Downgrade Controversy. Unfortuntely, there really doesn’t seem to be any Spurgeon on the horizon today in what’s truly is a New Downgrade No-Controversy With Its Apostles Of Unbelief. Spurgeon reminds you what squishy evangelical leaders have forgotten concerning the […]

Apprising Ministries continues to point out the horrid effects of postmodernism upon apostatizing evangelicalism as spiritual darkness continues to fall. With practicing Mormon Mitt Romney again running for president, it serves to present us with another nauseating example. Sadly, too many in the visible church are now working to try and make the Church of Jesus Christ of […]

Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.” (Jeremiah 14:14) Evangelical Rip Van Winkles Call A Quaker Mystic For Their Bedtime […]

In pieces like Andrew Marin Methodology here at Apprising Ministries is “the President and Founder of The Marin Foundation” and author of the book Love Is An Orientation. It’s interesting to note that Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren does the foreword to Marin’s book. Though using many of the EC buzzwords Marin, at this time anyway, still has […]

Over on his TGC blog, Colin Hansen has posted a blog article entitled The Rise and Fall of an Evangelical Empire. Hansen posed an interesting question to us in the question over why the Christian landscape is littered with the corpses of Gospel and evangelical ministries… [T]he problem with evangelicals in general is their poor […]
