THE EMERGING CHURCH: “A QUEERING OF EVANGELICALISM” »

Apprising Ministries points you to a short post by Steve Knight, who started the Emerging Church group TransFORM, called “A Queering of Evangelicalism”. Knight tells us about “the July/August 2010 issue of Tikkun magazine” wherein there’s an article entitled “Dismantling Hierarchy, Queering Society” by Andrea Smith, which he sees as containing an “interesting observation/comment about ‘the emergent movement.’” Knight also informs […]

RADICAL DEPRAVITY »

No one knew the human heart like the Lord Jesus Christ. When he peered into the human soul, He diagnosed depravity that penetrated and plagued every portion of man.

[Progressive/liberals] infest our theological seminaries, and our colleges, and fill our pulpits, across the United States and Canada, who not God; do not believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and will stand in the way of anybody that wants to preach it. That is the ultimate danger to [the visible] church; because it is inside […]

DR. LAVERNE ADAMS AND RICK WARREN DRIVEN BY DESTINY? »

By Apprising Ministries correspondent Christine Pack of Sola Sisters, along with Cathy Mathews In a move that should raise further questions about Rick Warren’s doctrinal soundness, “America’s Pastor” has written the foreword to a new book loaded with theological error and which promises to be heavy on pragmatic, self-focused, “Word Faith-y” narcissism (as if American […]
