But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they […]

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends […]

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. (2 Timothy 4:1-2) The […]

This short piece is developed from argumentation in a combox of a post called Rob Bell and his stance on homosexuality by the wife of a friend of Rob Bell. This couple happen to be members in covenant community attending Mars Hill Bible Church where Bell is their “teaching pastor.” Not surprisingly they aren’t real fond of […]

At the very tip of an iceberg of apostasy the Emerging Church is currently amassing troops for a major assault on Sola Scriptura. From our forward firing base here at Apprising Ministries along the Eastern Front of this Truth War we see Emergent rebels becoming more emboldened as they continue their build up. Here’s just a couple of examples. At […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA The postmodern homosexual lobby growing within mainstream evangelicalism, itself openly embracing existential Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), is right now using the exact same rhetoric concerning the Bible as did the modern homosexual lobby in the now dead mainline denominations who earlier embraced the exact same CSM. O, but the result will be different […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA We have been discussed here at Apprising Ministries an escalating rebellion against Sola Scriptura in the Emergent Church. And in Faith House Manhattan: Project of Apostasy by Samir Selmanovic AM has introduced you to self-proclaimed “Presbymergent” Adam Walker Cleaveland. Cleaveland was a contributor to the recent book An Emergent Manifesto of […]

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 […]

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 […]
