As you may know Apprising Ministries is part of an ongoing “conversation” of loosely-aligned communities concerning online apologetics and discernment ministry, which is much too broad to adequately define. One of the areas I cover is the Emerging Church, a neo-liberal cult that’s developed within evangelicalism, which claims its “big tent” Progressive Christianity is the historic Gospel […]

Apprising Ministries has been telling you that today in the church we’re living in a postmodern Wonderland of Humpty Dumpty language where words mean whatever a person wants them to mean. One word that’s lost any real meaning is: evangelical. Today Purpose Driven pope Rick Warren is a Reformed Protestant and both Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren and gay-affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker  […]

But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to […]

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. (Romans 16:17-18, […]

The 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. Now Collin Hansen weighs in on Warrengate in a web-only piece for the neo-evangelical Christianity Today, the magazine which would have […]

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, ESV) The Word […]

The neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church is continuing to morph and develop its “big tent” version of Progressive Christianity [read: universalism], which is still being cobbled together by the likes of uber-liberal theologian Harvey Cox along with his friend panentheist progressive/liberal theologian Dr. Philip Clayton. Dr. Clayton is himself friends with Emerging Church guru […]

Apprising Ministries has alerted you to a rather rapscallion bunch of largely biblically illiterate and self-described Outlaw Preachers (OP) who’ve come slithering up all around gay-affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker. OPs are still somewhat in the shadows of the neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church and include such EC luminaries as self-described “Queer Affirming” ELCA “pastor” Nadia Bolz-Weber and Adele Sakler of […]

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. (1 Timothy 4:1, ESV) But You Don’t Believe What Christians Believe In posts such as Diana Butler Bass On Chris Rosebrough, Ingrid Schlueter, And Ken Silva In Sin earlier Apprising Ministries has […]

 Over at Christian Research Net, an extention of Apprising Ministries, I pointed out that Emergent Church luminary Andrew Jones, who blogs as Tall Skinny Kiwi, tells us condescendingly in this post about how to co-opt your critics: There’s another breed of watchdoggin’ bloggin’ out there. You are already familiar with the normal watchdog blogs that protect God’s church […]
