Apprising Ministries reminded you again the other day that Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has actually been pushing the door open for corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster—and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard—within the mainstream of evangelicalism for quite some time now. For example in Southern Baptist Pastor Rick Warren And Saddleback Church Openly Recommend […]

In Rick Warren Now Openly Promoting Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism last week Apprising Ministries told you that Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has an upcoming conference at his Saddleback Church in February called Radicalis that will also be featuring Perry Noble, Mark Driscoll, and Peter Scazerro in addition to himself. Currently there’s an issue involving NewSpring Church, where Perry Noble is Senior Pastor, and Dr. James Duncan—Associate Professor of Communication […]

Apparently it’s a slow day in the world of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC)—which is a cult of postliberalism now within mainstream evangelicalism. And continuing with Dr. Walter Martin On Apostasy Circa 1985, it happens to be my view that this EC Liberalism 2.0—as direct descendants of what the late cult expert called the Cult of […]

Here in this short post at Apprising Ministries I bring to your attention a very grave problem now affecting the mainstream of the church visible today. And that would be a huge misunderstanding concerning the nature of the spiritual warfare, which every genuine Christian is immediately thrust into the moment they are first regenerated by God the Holy Spirit. In the last couple of […]

Professing to be wise, they became fools. (Romans 1:22, NASB) I’ll Just See What I Want To See… This is a follow-up to the Apprising Ministries post Ken Silva And Cathlimergent Network where I showed you that John Sobert Sylvest, who started something called Cathlimergent Conversations: Catholics in the Emerging Church Conversation, tweeted the following concerning my article Roman […]

I’ve mentioned a few times now at Apprising Ministries that I am a former Roman Catholic that, through absolutely no effort of my own, God mercifully delivered from the religious bondage of the Church of Rome into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, by His grace alone, through faith alone, in the finished work on […]

You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. (Leviticus 18:3) Too Far Out For Us To Even Get A Radar Fix The other day in Rick Warren […]

Perry Noble is the influential senior pastor of the NewSpring Church, whose identity will certainly be more on the rise after being a featured speaker at the upcoming Radicalis conference at the Saddleback Church of Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren. Noble’s also at the center of the controversy he seems to be trying to ignore, which you can read […]
