If Christopher Hitchens or Deepak Chopra penned a book that scoffed at the biblical teaching on hell, we would not be surprised. So why would anyone be shocked or confused when Rob Bell writesLove Wins? Has Bell shown any more commitment to gospel truth, or any more devotion to the principle of biblical authority than […]

For many years now Apprising Ministries has been sounding the alarm about the warped and toxic teachings of Rob Bell, the rock star pastor of the Emerging Church. That’s why I’ve published pieces like Rob Bell Resources. You likely know that December 18, 2011 Bell would give his last “sermon” at Mars Hill Bible Church. He had turned MHBC over to his good […]

Apprising Ministries has previously warned you about Peter Scazzero, the founder and senior pastor of New Life Fellowship Church, e.g. in Peter Scazzero Introducing Enneagrams Into Mainstream Evangelicalism. Scazzero is actually a leading perpetrator of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) a la gurus Dallas Willard and his spiritual twin Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. He’s no lightweight; I showed you three years ago in Rick Warren […]

Apprising Ministries says, it would seem so. Below Southern Baptist Bible teacher Beth Moore opines: God’s idea of guarding his heart is guarding his heart against diminishing love.

So we alone, I think, as Christians who understand the Bible and believe the Bible, we get it. We got all these people trying — all the politicians, and all the moralists, and all the educators and all the university people and all the sociologists and everybody — trying to fix society. And it can’t […]

Well…when you don’t really believe in the all-suffiency of God’s infallible, inerrant, Word in the Bible, then you’ll send out tweets about “sermon” series like what follows. Apprising Ministries has told you, e.g. in ER Curator James MacDonald Points Us To Conferences of Interest, that Steven Furtick considers Groeschel his “pastor.” The fact is Craig Groeschel, approached by […]

Preachers today are licensed and ordained by the church; men of old were ordained and sent by God. Preachers today go forth armed with degrees and credentials; men of old went forth anointed by the Holy Spirit. Preachers today are questioned by committees and hired to preach what the church believes; men of old came […]

For the past few years Apprising Ministries has been a leading online apologetics and discernment work covering the now upgraded sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church. The EC 2.0 has now cobbled together its own postmodern form of Progressive Christian theology. What we’re actually dealing with here is a Liberalism 2.0, which these apostates will often refer […]

Question: “Women pastors / preachers? What does the Bible say about women in ministry?” Answer: There is perhaps no more hotly debated issue in the church today than the issue of women serving as pastors/preachers. As a result, it is very important to not see this issue as men versus women. There are women who believe […]

As Apprising Ministries has told you, James MacDonald and Mark Driscoll are responsible for opening wider the door into the mainstream of Christendom for Word Faith mogul T.D. Jakes with Elephant Room 2. What’s forgotten is that both MacDonald and Driscoll were willing to alienate their brothers at the Gospel Coalition in order to do […]
