In the original post she gave the link to “listen to the prayer at Harambee Church in Renton, Washington back in March.” Schlueter then tells us: The sound of the Islamic call to prayer echoed through this Acts 29 Network […]

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. (2 Timothy 4:2, ESV)  Don’t Look Now But The Biblical Wheels Have Come Off  In the Apprising Ministries post Gay Christian Singer Jennifer Knapp Out On Larry King Live I reminded you that there is indeed a same-sex storm […]

Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren, whom Dr. John Piper has made the ill-advised decision to bring into the Desiring God Conference 2010 as the keynote speaker, participated the other day in an interfaith panel held at Temple Sinai in Los Angeles. Talk show host Tavis Smiley was host for “Meet the Faith”, which featured an interfaith panel comprising a Muslim Najeeba Syeed-Miller, Reverend Cecil “Chip” […]

The past couple of years have seen a real rash of sermon series on sex; and this year a growing acceptance that the deviant lifestyle of homosexuality is acceptable for the Christian. And after reading this article, it does make one wonder: Sex is sacred. It’s one of the first liberating principles that converts to Modern Paganism […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been among those who’ve been reporting on an ill-advised decision by Dr. John Piper to bring Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren into the Desiring God Conference 2010 as the keynote speaker.

In The Progressive Resurrection Of Rob Bell here at Apprising Ministries I discussed his spoken word presentation in the recent video Resurrection. The truth is, I’ve long been covering the drift of Rob Bell, the rock star Elvis of the Emerging Church, and its new version of Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity.

Apprising Ministries has recently told you about The Emerging Church TransFORM East Coast Apostasia-Palooza where the upgraded Emerging Church 2.0—seeker driven for the “counter-culture”— will share its newer, more clearly delineated, Progressive Christian theology with a gospel Christian apologist Chris Rosebrough has referred to as: Stick it to the Caesar man. It’s all kind of a reimagined bohemian hippie counter-culture deal I would see as I was […]

 As you’ll see e.g. in the Apprising Ministries article Big Tent Progressive Christianity As Liberalism 2.0, rather than dying, we’re going to be dealing with the upgraded Emerging Church 2.0—a neo-liberal cult—with a newer, more clearly delineated, Progressive Christian theology.
