Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) A Sin By […]

Apprising Ministries has long been covering something known as Emerging Church aka Emergent Church, now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC). Those familiar with AM pieces like Emergent Church: A Diseased Tree and A Conversation About The Emerging Church With Mike Clawson And Ken Silva know my view that this EC, as we now know it, essentially begins circa 1997. I’ve […]

This continues along the same lines of Something’s Off—Who Is Shane Hipps, And What Is He Saying? by John Chisham, pastor of River of Life Alliance Church in Marshall, Minnesota. In the segment below from What on Earth Was Being Taught at Rob Bell’s Poets, Prophets, Preachers Conference?, which aired on his Pirate Christian Radio network, Christian apologist Chris Rosebrough completely dismantles […]

Shocking yes; but sadly, quite true. As Chris Rosebrough brings out in his Pirate Radio broadcast below Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) and Fred Phelps end up with all law and no gospel. However, Emergence Christianity pastor Jay Bakker is also guilty of what Rosebrough correctly calls a “theological smörgåsbord-i-tis” of selective Biblical reading i.e. picking and choosing what you […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! Quite obviously Apprising Ministries is opposed to the spurious spirituality and corrupt theology espoused by both Tony Jones and his friend Phyllis Tickle.

My friend—and fellow CRN contributor—John Chisham, pastor of River of Life Alliance Church in Marshall, Minnesota shares some commentary concerning the recently concluded Poets, Prophets and Preachers (PPP) hosted by Rob Bell and featuring Peter Rollins and Shane Hipps.

If there weren’t serious concerns about where the the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church de-formation of the Christian faith aka Emergent Church—now morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) is headed, there out to be after you peruse the eyewitness report of the recently concluded Poets, Prophets and Preachers (PPP) conference put on by EC icon EC icon Rob Bell, which also […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! At his Beliefnet blog Tony Jones tells us he is “a leader in the emergent church movement and a renowned expert on postmodern theology and the American church landscape.” I certainly agree with the former; Jones surely is a leader within the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church de-formation of the Christian faith aka Emergent Church—now morphing […]
