Apprising Ministries is doing what we can to draw attention to the New Downgrade No-Controversy happening within evangelicalism and the growing syncretism as spiritual blindness and apostasy increase. Unfortunately, at a time when the church visible could desperately use one, I’m afraid there doesn’t appear to be a Charles Spurgeon arising. One rising star of syncretism, […]

By Apprising Ministries correspondent Christine Pack of Sola Sisters For those unaware of the latest brouhaha in Evangelicalism, let me first lay out the facts. Steven Furtick, megachurch pastor at Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, is currently hosting a revival which is running from January 11-22 and is promoted as “a 12 night worship […]

Ware Presented to the Circuit 33 Meeting / Texas District Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, 11-7-07 Introduction An age old devotional technique called Lectio Divina is gaining popularity  again here in the 21st Century.
