Apprising Ministries is doing what we can to cover, and document, issues within the visible church while spiritual blindness grows and a tsunami of apostasy approaches. I’ve told you that evangelicalism made a horrible mistake when it embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church—a veritable Trojan Horse full of heresy. This spiritually nafarious group is headed by, […]

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping […]

by Chris Rosebrough, host of Fighting for the Faith on Pirate Christian Radio I was very disappointed to see that the Desiring God National Conference was selling Rick Warren’s Bible study method book.

“When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations—I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a […]

Apprising Ministries reminds you that, having been pronounced “doctrinal and sound” by Dr. John Piper, Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren is set to be a keynote speaker at the DG 2010 conference Think: The Life of the Mind & the Love of God beginning Friday. As an example of some of the Church Growth Movement wisdom Warren regularly dispenses I point you […]

And then there’s the word “inclusion.” Another fine word in its own right. Considering the church’s spotted past in excluding people for the wrong reasons-too poor, too black, too awkward-inclusion can sound awfully good.
