Apprising Ministries asks if you might remember Anne Holmes Redding, who claims to be both a Muslim and Christian simultaneously, and whom we discussed in An Emerging Christian Muslim Priestess For Allah Says, “Jesus Led Me Into Islam.” Well, the Global Family takes another step forward; we just couldn’t make this kind of stuff up as, at his […]

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20, NASB) “Star Trek” Quantum Spirituality Of An Alleged New Light As a pastor-teacher, in addition to laboring in online apologetics and discernment, I no doubt cover these issues a bit differently than some […]

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, NASB) Thus Saith God; Or, The Human Authors Of Scripture?

In a piece from Christian Post we read: In a climate where dogmatism is the new heresy, many evangelicals have backed away from bold preaching while “freely imbibing” the spirit of the postmodern age, says one well-known minister. “It seems that zeal for the essential doctrines of biblical Christianity has become virtually as unacceptable among evangelicals […]

Apprising Ministries has lately been covering the growing affirmation within the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—currently morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) that someone unrepentant in their practice of homosexuality is also living a viable lifestyle for the Christian. One of the clearest examples is punk “pastor” Jay Bakker, head of what’s becoming known as outlaw preachers. I also told you in The Emerging Church Highjacking Evangelicalism that for the EC to […]

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1) Reality Check: Do Not Just Believe Everything You Hear About God Truthfully—if I might be allowed that term—the only way we will have any real […]
