TIM KELLER RECOMMENDED PETER SCAZZERO SPREADING SPURIOUS CENTERING PRAYER »

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 […]

“INWARD JOURNEY” TAUGHT BY MYSTICS LIKE RICHARD FOSTER IS DIVINATION »

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 […]

GOSPEL COALITION CONTRIBUTOR MIKE COSPER DEFENDS RETREAT WITH ROMAN CATHOLICS »

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 […]

JUST SAY NO TO CONTEMPLATIVE/CENTERING PRAYER »

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 […]

OPRAH WINFREY MEDITATES WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN AT MAHARISHI SCHOOL »

Here at Apprising Ministries I’m occasionally asked if Oprah Winfrey is a Christian. The short answer is: We have no real reason whatsoever to believe that she is. Also, this Associated Press piece Winfrey meditates with women during Iowa visit from this weekend gives us more indication as well. Sadly, this type of transcendental meditation—at […]

GOSPEL COALITION COUNCIL MEMBER MARK DRISCOLL TELLS US ABOUT HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH DEMONS »

By Apprising Ministries correspondent Christine Pack and Cathy Mathews of Sola Sisters According to the video above, Mark Driscoll has embraced a dangerous false teaching in which Christians are taught what amounts to hand-to-hand combat with demons. This bizarre teaching was once confined to the hyper-charismatic denominations but has now invaded mainstream evangelical Christianity. (Incidentally, […]

MYSTICISM: WHEN GOD SENDS AN EVIL SPIRIT »

Apprising Ministries has warned in posts e.g. Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism? and Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention that for years now Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin and Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard has been rapidly spreading throughout mainstream evangelicalism under […]

"CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE" BY RICHARD FOSTER IS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THEOLOGICAL ERROR »

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 […]

RICK WARREN IS TAUGHT MANTRA MEDITATION »

Apprising Ministries continues to tell you the truth about an infestation of ne0-Gnostic corruption called Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), which is now pandemic within mainstream evangelicalism through its foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church with its quasi-universalism in a new version of postmodern Progressive Christian theology […]

PETER SCAZZERO TRY SILENCE »

Apprising Ministries continues walking the point in what is truly appears to me to be a spiritual version of the Vietnam War. Let’s get this straight; if your evanjellyfish leaders in the church visible had any spiritual backbone at all, there’d be no need for ministries like mine. However, these women in men’s pants—terrified of their own spiritual shadows—don’t; therefore, […]
