On Slice Of Laodicea Ingrid Schlueter said – “This writer believes that ‘in-house’ differences with Joyce Meyers, Kenneth Copeland, T.D. Jakes, Paula White, Joel Osteen and company shouldn’t be addressed in the church. He says that Christians need to stop tearing down other Christians because everyone is doing a good job for the body of […]

Ken was a guest on the Crosstalk radio program with host Ingrid Schlueter back on August 31. Their discussion centered around how the current apostasy, involving prosperity based and purpose driven philosophies, proves that Jesus is drawing out a remnant of believers for himself. You can access the audio file of this program at VCY […]

As the Lord tarries, and this apostasy continues its inevitable growth, the battle for the Bible (to borrow the title of Lindsell’s fine book) is going to intensify. More and more Evangelical scholars will buy the Serpent’s lie of the neo-orthodox view of Holy Scripture, and the truth of God will be turned into mythology. […]

Those who have been following the whole issue of the seeker sensitive pragmatics of the modern Church Growth Movement as it has infiltrated the Evangelical postchurch in postmodern America can clearly see the influence of Robert Schuller’s gospel of self-esteem. The root connection of these dubious gnostic psycho-philosophies as they have been grafted into the […]

It seems almost incredible to believe but the twin pythons of deception are attempting to strangle the Church of Jesus Christ in America by denying the very Word of God. On one side there is the Emergent Church Movement (ECM), wrapping itself around the Evangelical Church from within, and then there’s the Church of Jesus […]

For the Lord says – See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands – Isaiah 49:16. This is God’s great love for His Church, described in words written some 700 years before Jesus of Nazareth had even been born, and well before crucifixion had even been thought of by man. Now can […]

One of the latest seeker sensitive fads infesting the Church of our Lord today has become know as the Emergent Church Movement (ECM). In this article I share an overview of what I as a pastor find of grave concern about this lastest delusion of the Devil, most particularly the ECM’s appalling lack of commitment […]

This is the final part of our look at this crucial question, and we have already seen more clearly the unbridgeable chasm between these two contrasting positions. We have also been looking briefly at some comments directed to me by Richard Abanes, a prominent member of Rick Warren’s Saddleback church, and therefore a good example […]

In the first part of this look into the wide chasm between the high call of the Christ-centered life that our Lord Jesus calls all of His disciples to, and the contrasting shallow man-centered doctrines of the Purpose Driven Life, I shared how my initial involvement with ministry to the postmodern church began. Awash with […]

As the pastor-teacher of a local church, in addition to developing this Internet “pulpit” called Apprising Ministries, which was literally given to me, I have had to come to grips with the very real fact that there is a wide and ultimately unbridgeable chasm of difference between these two divergent positions. There clearly is a […]
