For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4, NASB) They’re Here; And Without The Authority Of The Bible, […]

There’s a new breed of preachers growing within the postliberal cult of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—who call themselves Outlaw Preachers. One of their main issues is seeking unity and inclusiveness through their god with the man-shaped hole in its heart, doing so by over-emphasing the grace of the one true […]

The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him. (Proverbs 18:17, NASB) We Can Be Protestant Evangelicals Not Believing What Protestant Evangelicals Believe Apprising Ministries has asserted all along that at its rotten root the postliberal cult of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) is an attack […]

It’s important you understand that mainstream evangelicalism continues moving further away from the certainty of Sola Scriptura in favor of highly subjective Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). As you’ll see in Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention entire state SBC conventions e.g. North Carolina are openly using teachings from Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. Under under Discipleship Resources of the State Board of […]

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 3, ESV) Grace Does Not Relieve The Christian From Their Duty To Contend For Proper Doctrine As I […]

In Jay Bakker Dreaming yesterday here at Apprising Ministries we happened to mention that “pastor” Connie Waters, after having Bakker speak at her emerging New Bridge Faith Community last week, thinks he’s a real scholar. Now it seems that “pastor” Waters decided to weigh in on the AM piece Gay Marriage: Backlash Against Anglican Leader Expected. Therein, I gave the proper Biblical definition of marriage per Jesus Christ […]

Today gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker shares his dream: Emergent and Calvinist are brothers & sisters in Christ.(Like it or not) And one day,we will be together forever at the family reunion… (Online source) Apparently Bakker really likes the taste of red herring. Emergent and Calvinism have exactly zero to do with his biblically untenable teaching that people of […]

Apprising Ministries has been warning you that there’s a very dark and threatening same-sex storm right now approaching hurricane force, and which is currently only slightly off the coast of the mainstream evangelical community. You need to realize that the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) is right now working to make affirming homosexuality an issue within your own mainstream evangelical church. […]

Many already know that Christian Research Net, a sister online apologetics and discernment ministry to Apprising Ministries, has a “shadow” blog where some self-appointed watchdogs just took it upon themselves to “monitor” i.e. criticize CRN, even going so far as to call themselves CRN.Info and Analysis. One of those is the rather snarky former SBC minister Joe Martino. Martino’s […]

If you are following the ongoing issue of the postliberal cult of Emergence Christianity here at Apprising Ministries you will see me talk about their reimagined version of the old social gospel as perpetrated by their forebears in the original Cult of Liberal Theology. This Emerging Church at its core is a rebellion against Sola Scriptura in favor of their […]
