For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been blessed of Jesus to be used as one of His “go-to” ministries in the area of the 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 […]

(1 John 4:1) False Teachers Insure Division In The Church First, we have to ask ourselves: “Is this Scripture only a historic fact, or could this also continue to happen […]

And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, worshiping the sun toward the […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.
