For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) The Gospel Has Now Been Changed In this short quote that follows below the Prince of Preachers Charles Spurgeon […]

Apprising Ministries is doing what we can to cover, and document, issues within the visible church while spiritual blindness grows and a tsunami of apostasy approaches. I’ve told you that evangelicalism made a horrible mistake when it embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church—a veritable Trojan Horse full of heresy. This spiritually nafarious group is headed by, […]

Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. (Psalm 81:10) What an encouragement to pray! Our human notions would lead us to ask small things because our deservings are so small; but the Lord would have us request great blessings. Prayer should be as simple a matter as the opening of the mouth; […]

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Hebrews 4:9) God has provided a Sabbath, and some must enter into it. Those to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief; therefore, that Sabbath remains for the people of God. David sang of it; but he had to touch the […]

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all sections, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. (Amos 9:9) The sifting process is going on still. Wherever we go, we are still being winnowed and sifted. In […]

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25) The two most important things in our holy religion are the life of faith and the walk of faith. He who shall rightly understand these is not far from being a master in experimental theology, for they are vital points to a Christian. You […]

And a man shall be as an hiding-place from the wind and a covert from the tempest. (Isaiah 32:2) Who this Man is we all know. Who could He be but the Second Man, the Lord from heaven, the man of sorrows, the Son of Man? What a hiding place He has been to […]

God’s Word reminds us that our comfort is in Him. As many of us mourn the passing of Rick Hutton, I pray that we will be drawn to the God of all comfort and that He will receive great glory during this difficult time. Whatever comfort there is to be had it will be found […]

His heavens shall drop down dew. (Deuteronomy 33:28) What the dew in the East is to the world of nature, that is the influence of the Spirit in the realm of grace. How greatly do I need it! Without the Spirit of God I am a dry and withered thing. I droop, I fade, […]
