DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA As one whom the Lord has given a shepherd’s heart, and that particularly for young people, I can’t read letters like the one below without getting angry. However, my anger isn’t directed at the people who write me letters like this—literally every day. No, my anger is at those who began and […]

The first thing I’d like to point out in this post here at Apprising Ministries is that I strongly disagree with Chad Holtz; however as I told him in the combox of his post “Why Evangelize?”, unlike many others who likely hold the same view of Christian Universalism, I do respect him for at least having […]

For one to come to understand what is currently going on within evangelicalism they will have to realize that many of the younger leaders within the visible church have already had their theology warped by corrupt Bible college and seminary professors. As a result we are seeing within mainstream evangelicalism a reimagined version of just about […]

We begin here as Apprising Ministries first draws your attention to what is called the Prayer of Examen as recommended by Mars Hill Bible Church and its teaching pastor Rob Bell, the Elvis of the Emergent Rebellion against Sola Scriptura: Prayer of Examen Description The Prayer of Examen is a daily spiritual exercise developed by St. Ignatius Loyola.

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA The Emergent rebellion against Sola Scriptura continues gaining strength and because evangelicalism only pays it lip service anyway subjective “experiences” with “God” will very quickly become the norm. You will continue to see leaders in the Emerging Church come out of the closet in their support of practicing homosexuals being accepted as Christians as Tony Jones […]

Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has opened his mouth again in order to exhange feet at a Beliefnet piece called “Rick Warren’s Dark Night of the Soul.” That reference comes from the false teaching of a messed mystic called “St.” John of the Cross, who was a disciple of another duped defender of apostate Roman Catholicism “St.” Teresa of Avila. In […]

Earlier Apprising Ministries brought you another example of a “Protestant” evangelical organization embracing apostate antibiblical Roman Catholicism as a valid expression of the Christian faith. In Focus on the Family Says it’s “Un-Christlike” to Consider the Roman Catholic Church Apostate we showed you Focus on the Family literally saying that someone like myself who would say the […]

Even as one who holds to the Biblical Reformed doctrines of grace it is still surprising how fast and how far this apostasy within evangelicalism is spreading. Open theist Greg Boyd is not only gaining increasing popularity within the nearly comatose spiritually evangelical community but he’s especially soothing to the itching ears in the postliberal cult of the […]

Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to […]

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self,… For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and […]
