Apprising Ministries is attempting to do what we can to warn of impending disaster concerning mainstream evangelicalism, which continues its drift further into apostasy. One of the issues we’ve been using as an illustration is the deviant lifestyle of those practicing homosexuality, as in having sexual relations with another of the same sex. The reason this sin of […]

Rob Bell and the other pastors at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan have some serious explaining to do and need to repent, big time, for the rank heresy that’s been spewing from their pulpit lately. First it was Phyllis Tickle preaching on the “feminine attributes” of the Holy Spirit and waxing eloquent […]

Apprising Ministries noted yesterday that “gay affirming” pastor Jay Bakker will be keynote speaker for the newly formed inclusive “New Bridges Faith Community” (NBFC) as seen in Jay Bakker In Memphis On Same-Sex Marriage. AM also pointed out a while back in Jay Bakker To Speak For ELCA Gathering that Bakker is going to be bringing his warped […]

Within a source paper called Spiritual Disciplines: Pathway to Christian Maturity (SDPCM), from the Georgia Baptist Convention (SBC), we learn what is now considered consistent with a proper Protestant approach to spirituality for Christians in the Southern Baptist Convention. Continuing along the lines of Richard Foster Forming Protestant Southern Baptist Convention Spirituality here Apprising Ministries begins with the following from Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker […]

This continues along the same lines of Something’s Off—Who Is Shane Hipps, And What Is He Saying? by John Chisham, pastor of River of Life Alliance Church in Marshall, Minnesota. In the segment below from What on Earth Was Being Taught at Rob Bell’s Poets, Prophets, Preachers Conference?, which aired on his Pirate Christian Radio network, Christian apologist Chris Rosebrough completely dismantles […]

Shocking yes; but sadly, quite true. As Chris Rosebrough brings out in his Pirate Radio broadcast below Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) and Fred Phelps end up with all law and no gospel. However, Emergence Christianity pastor Jay Bakker is also guilty of what Rosebrough correctly calls a “theological smörgåsbord-i-tis” of selective Biblical reading i.e. picking and choosing what you […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! Quite obviously Apprising Ministries is opposed to the spurious spirituality and corrupt theology espoused by both Tony Jones and his friend Phyllis Tickle. However, what Jones says below from his blog post today is helpful for clarification concerning this egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church de-formation of the Christian faith aka Emergent Church—now morphing into Emergence Christianity, which […]

In a similar vein to Do Not Love The World by Mike Ratliff, who labors with me at Christian Reasearch Net, comes this piece from my friend—and fellow CRN contributor—John Chisham. John, who is pastor of River of Life Alliance Church in Marshall, Minnesota brings a: message for all the Pastors like Rick Warren who would preach a message […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! At his Beliefnet blog Tony Jones tells us he is “a leader in the emergent church movement and a renowned expert on postmodern theology and the American church landscape.” I certainly agree with the former; Jones surely is a leader within the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church de-formation of the Christian faith aka Emergent Church—now morphing […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! Jeremy Bouma, who refers to himself as an “emerging- missional follower of Jesus” and is currently pursuing a “Master of Divinity in Pastoral Studies and Church Planting at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary,” is “live blogging” the Poets, Prophets, Peachers (PPP) conference put on by EC icon Rob Bell, which also features his friend Peter Rollins. And […]
