[T]here are many modern professing Christians who would be quick to very, very fervently profess their love for Christ and his Word, that would also be just as quick to reject any fervent defense of doctrinal truth. They would say they love the Word, because they read it everyday; yet they simply see no need or urgency to […]

Online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries points you to the following concerning Fuller Theological Seminary and Tony Jones of the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church. You may know that Jones is one third of the unholy Emerging Church trinity of apostates along with Living Spiritual Teacher and EC guru Brian McLaren, as well as with universalist EC pastor Doug Pagitt of […]

Critics of online apologetics and discernment works such as Apprising Ministries are under the mistaken impression that someone like myself goes “looking for” these issues I’ve been covering these past 5+ years as Jesus has built this ministry of His Gospel. They couldn’t be more wrong. What usually happens is I’ll receive an email or message […]

I have stated this before, but for reasons which may become clearer in the coming days, I remind you that Apprising Ministries has always been a fully integrated auxiliary from Connecticut River Baptist Church (SBC), where I serve as pastor-teacher. And as I’ve also mentioned previously, even though my local church is affiliated with the SBC (for […]

By AM correspondent Daniel Neades of Better Than Sacrifice What is discernment? Even as I mention that word, a multitude of Bible passages leaps into our minds: Ezekiel the watchman (Ez. 3; 33); Jesus warning of the ‘false christs and false prophets’ that will arise (Matt. 24); the Jews at Berea who ‘searched the Scriptures […]

Sola fide and sola gratia, as used in the Protestant Reformation, form the basis of a God-centered Gospel meaning that while the sinner is dead in his trespasses and sins God Himself sovereignly regenerates those whom He will. By His gift of grace God gives them the faith to believe in Christ, and they repent of their sins. This […]

It’s well known that Apprising Ministries is no friend of the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church aka Emergent Church and the awful impact of these rebels against the final authority of the Word of God upon the church visible through their postmodern Progressive Christian theology—a Liberalism 2.0—often referred to as “big tent” Emergence Christianity. Regardless of where he may, or may not, be now […]
