The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him. (Proverbs 18:17, NASB) We Can Be Protestant Evangelicals Not Believing What Protestant Evangelicals Believe Apprising Ministries has asserted all along that at its rotten root the postliberal cult of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) is an attack […]

It’s important you understand that mainstream evangelicalism continues moving further away from the certainty of Sola Scriptura in favor of highly subjective Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). As you’ll see in Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention entire state SBC conventions e.g. North Carolina are openly using teachings from Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. Under under Discipleship Resources of the State Board of […]

 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 3, ESV) Grace Does Not Relieve The Christian From Their Duty To Contend For Proper Doctrine As I […]

 In  Jay Bakker Dreaming yesterday here at Apprising Ministries we happened to mention that “pastor” Connie Waters, after having Bakker speak at her emerging  New Bridge Faith Community last week, thinks he’s a real scholar. Now it seems that “pastor” Waters decided to weigh in on the AM piece Gay Marriage: Backlash Against Anglican Leader Expected. Therein, I gave the proper Biblical definition of marriage per Jesus Christ […]

 Apprising Ministries has been warning you that there’s a very dark and threatening same-sex storm right now approaching hurricane force, and which is currently only slightly off the coast of the mainstream evangelical community. You need to realize that the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) is right now working to make affirming homosexuality an issue within your own mainstream evangelical church.

 Many already know that Christian Research Net, a sister online apologetics and discernment ministry to Apprising Ministries, has a “shadow” blog where some self-appointed watchdogs just took it upon themselves to “monitor” i.e. criticize CRN, even going so far as to call themselves CRN.Info and Analysis. One of those is the rather snarky former SBC minister Joe Martino. Martino’s […]

If you are following the ongoing issue of the postliberal cult of Emergence Christianity here at Apprising Ministries you will see me talk about their reimagined version of the old social gospel as perpetrated by their forebears in the original Cult of Liberal Theology. This Emerging Church at its core is a rebellion against Sola Scriptura in favor of their […]

 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these […]

 Being one with a heart for young people the “trance formation dance” I’m going to bring to your attention here in this Apprising Ministries piece is a very dangerous thing for anyone to be doing—let alone impressionable youth. As another example of the Impact of Apprising Ministries, Georg Walter had written me asking if he could translate my […]

 In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.  They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end. (Psalm 102:25-27) Mysticism Leads To The […]
