The following is adapted from The Higher Life Of Rick Joyner: Chasing The Delusion Of Power And Dominion by G. Richard Fisher of the fine discernment ministry Personal Freedom Oureach: In an article, “Dietrich Bonhoeffer Rejected Classical Christianity,” David Becker investigates the writing of Bonhoeffer and states: “I don’t mean to be critical of people, but […]

By Apprising Ministries correspondent pastor Rob Willmann of Vibist.com Is Scripture truly sufficient for all our needs? That seems to be the question for today’s Christians. The evidence is all around us that today’s “postmodern” Christians are relying upon more and more extra-biblical sources for direction in life. As Christians in the 21st century, do we truly […]

Townhall is carring a piece today by Micah Carter of Baptist Press, which is a pretty good microcosm of the state of the man-centered church visible today: LifeWay Christian Resources set forth a theme of hope in its annual report to the Southern Baptist Convention as president and CEO Thom Rainer highlighted the “Transformational Church” […]

Yesterday, partly in jest, I pointed you to Missional Engagement where we’re told in official church-planting language, which mildly resembles English: Missional Engagement is defined as the continuum of intentional, on-going, Spirit-led, engagement by an individual Christ-follower and/or collective Christ-followers towards a specific person and/or people group for the purpose of demonstrating and declaring the Gospel.

A good post from Apprising Ministries correspondent Chrystal Whitt over at Slaughter of the Sheep, which begins: Have you ever noticed that when false prophets prophesy, they say that the things they are prophesying about will happen in a way “you have never seen before?”  Yet, there is no visible witness that their word has come […]

Apprising Ministries now brings you a follow up to Questions Concerning Dr. John Piper where I told you that when Dr. Piper made the ill-advised decision to invite Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to DG 2010 as a keynote speaker it set off a rippling effect where people, and not merely discernment ministries, have started to look a little closer at his theology, educational background, and associations; e.g. […]

The Lord chose to raise up Apprising Ministries as an online apologetics and discernment work; as such, it’s a large part on my mission here to cover trends developing within the church visible. Unfortunately we live in a time where, in my opinion, a tsunami of apostasy—likely driven by 1 Peter 4:17  judgments—is rapidly heading toward the mainstream of, largely […]
