To accomplish his […]

Being in the field of online apologetics and discernment here at Apprising Ministries I’m often accused of writing in anger. Well, indeed, this is sometimes quite true. However, as one Jesus also called as a pastor-teacher, I offer that it isn’t my anger I’m expressing. Such is the case here as I cover more of this New Downgrade […]

Apprising Ministries wants you to know that a large part of the libertine legacy of the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult operating within the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church is its postmodern obfuscation causing confusion concerning proper Christian doctrine.

A major ally for the advancement of their teachings of demons has been Fuller Theological Seminary (FTS), from which was launched the Church Growth Movement. One of the core teachings of the […]
