Apprising Ministries points you to an interesting article by my friend Don Koenig which begins: Most Christians might think I would have to be nuts to warn others about the possibility of rising Christian imperialism at a time when Christianity is under oppression by the secular Far Left and Islam but apart from my mental […]

Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they, are your lot; to them you have poured out a drink offering, you have brought a grain offering. Shall I relent for these things? On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifice. Behind the door and the doorpost you […]

The idea of a progressive gospel seems to have fascinated many. To us that notion is a sort of cross-breed between nonsense and blasphemy. After the gospel has been found effectual in the eternal salvation of untold multitudes, it seems rather late in the day to alter it; and, since it is the revelation of […]

Apprising Ministries continues to sound the warning concerning the false teachings of Rob Bell, who’s without a doubt the rock star pastor of the sinfully ecumenical Emerging Church. A year ago in Through Rob Bell “The Great Enlightened Ones” Tell Us Man Has Divine Greatness I brought to your attention that Bell had finally come right out of his mystic closet in his […]

Apprising Ministries correspondent Christine Pack of Sola Sisters tells us of her interview today on the Crosstalk radio program of Ingrid Schlueter today: During the show, I briefly went over my own testimony of being mercifully saved out of New Age Spirituality (also called New Spirituality), only to find that the same mysticism I had once practiced was now […]

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8) Church Growth Techniques Sowed To The Flesh For […]

Townhall is carring a piece today by Micah Carter of Baptist Press, which is a pretty good microcosm of the state of the man-centered church visible today: LifeWay Christian Resources set forth a theme of hope in its annual report to the Southern Baptist Convention as president and CEO Thom Rainer highlighted the “Transformational Church” […]

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. (2 Peter 2:1) It’s pretty obvious that if God had wanted us all to live in the false kind of […]

Apprising Ministries now brings you a follow up to Questions Concerning Dr. John Piper where I told you that when Dr. Piper made the ill-advised decision to invite Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to DG 2010 as a keynote speaker it set off a rippling effect where people, and not merely discernment ministries, have started to look a little closer at his theology, educational background, and associations; e.g. […]
