By Christian Research Network Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… This is a repost of an original article on Do Not Be Surprised… Spring can be a busy season for the popular pastor. Speaking engagements, special appearances and conference sessions often dominate the schedules of those who are in demand. Of course, sometimes a pastor is […]

Apprising Ministries has been warning you of growing syncretism within contemporary evangelicalism. One stream of this perversion of the Christian faith is the ongoing embrace of Word Faith prosperity preachers. Prophet-pastor Steven Furtick gave this a real jump start with his Code Orange De-vival in mid January of this year. This event was chocked full […]

Apprising Ministries had long covered the false teaching of former icon of the Emerging Church, and now TV producer, Rob Bell. You might recall a little over a year ago he openly revealed his Love Wins mythology. Not long after that Bell would depart from Mars Hill Bible Church. He would be replaced by his good […]

Apprising Ministries has been tracking the influx of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), which arrived inside the wall of the mainstream of evangelicalism within the Trojan Horse of the Emerging Church. In our 6+ years along the Internet Front I’ve observed CSM a la neo-Gnostics like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard slithering deeply into the church. Here’s a case in […]

I find this may 28, 2008 post to be a rather odd one by the New Calvinist mentor. In How A Roman Catholic Anti-Calvinist Can Serve Today’s Poet-Calvinists Dr. Piper writes: May 29 is G. K. Chesterton’s 134th […]

Christian Research Network is a sister work of Apprising Ministries. Today CRN Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… brings to our attention her recent interview with Dr. John MacArthur: If you were granted ten minutes to speak with and interview John MacArthur, what would you ask? Would you inquire about the state of the church, or […]

Since we came online at the end of August 2005 as a pioneer in the field of Internet apologetics and discernment works Apprising Ministries has, sadly, been documenting The Falling Away Of The Evangelical Church. Among other things, I also monitor trends in the visible church from this outpost where the Net is moving ahead of the […]

Apprising Ministries will show you in this piece that the subtitle would be: Nor can she; not without admitting her popes are but fallible men, not vicars of Christ, and that her dogma asseverated at the Council of Trent was wrong. I have already covered this further in Has The Roman Catholic Church Really Changed? Here I’m going to point […]

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
