One of the trends I’ve noticed over the past couple of years here at Apprising Ministries is how far the effects of the ill-fated Church Growth Movement have spread. I’ve told you before that mainstream evangelicalism is only just beginning to pay a heavy price for its foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church. Now there’s a […]

In Apprising Ministries articles such as Emerging Ecumenical Evanphelephants And The Word Faith Movement I reminded you that the Elephant Room 2 conference was like a nuclear explosion in the spirit world.

Apprising Ministries continues to point out that syncretism, which is rooted in the love of self (cf. 2 Timothy 3:2), is really beginning to get out of hand within contemporary evangelicalism.
