This is a repost of an original article on Sola Sisters Dear Mr. Challies, As you may or may not know, we recently posted an article in which we commended your book review of Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts. And then today, a reader forwarded your most recent post, entitled In Which I Ask Ann Voskamp’s Forgiveness…, an article […]

Deceivers will beguile the weak; some have been turned aside by [post]modern doubt; and positive infidelity has its partisans. They begin cautiously by reading works with a view to answer scientific and intellectual scepticism. They read a little more, and dive a little deeper into the turbid stream, because they feel well able to stand against […]

Apprising Ministries has been warning about, and documenting, the sad slide of largely pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism into becoming what I’ve referred to as The Ecumenical Church Of Deceit (ECoD); and much of the current sorry state of the church visible can be traced back through to the semi-pelagian (at best) man-centered Church Growth Movement birthed out of Fuller […]

By Christian Research Network Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… This is a repost of an original article on Do Not Be Surprised… Spring can be a busy season for the popular pastor.

Apprising Ministries has been tracking the influx of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), which arrived inside the wall of the mainstream of evangelicalism within the Trojan Horse of the Emerging Church. In our 6+ years along the Internet Front I’ve observed CSM a la neo-Gnostics like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard slithering deeply into the church. Here’s a case in […]

With pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen traveling often for their own […]

This was brought to my attention today at Apprising Ministries by Christian Research Network Contributor Christine Pack of Sola Sisters. I find this may 28, 2008 post to be a rather odd one by the New Calvinist mentor. In How A Roman Catholic Anti-Calvinist Can Serve Today’s Poet-Calvinists Dr. Piper writes: May 29 is G. K.

Christian Research Network is a sister work of Apprising Ministries. Today CRN Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… brings to our attention her recent interview with Dr. John MacArthur: If you were granted ten minutes to speak with and interview John MacArthur, what would you ask?
