By Apprising Ministries special correspondent Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… There’s no shortage of teaching and perspectives on prayer today in the “Christian” world. As they have for centuries, people who “feel far from God” continue to seek more “spiritual” experiences, and as such fall into dangerous, demonic deceptions. One such devilish device […]

In earlier Apprising Ministries articles like and Christian Soldiers Standing Up For Jesus? and the semi-satirical Recipe For Spiritual DisasterI’ve been trying to bring to your attention how a Rodney King theology of, “Can’t we all just get along” is serving to cripple the witness of the church visible. A major factor contributing to this […]

Recently in Peter Scazzero Try Silence here at Apprising Ministries I reminded you that well known compromised pastor Peter Scazzero joins with other pathetic Protholics like Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren in defecating upon the blood of the Reformers. In that previous piece I told you that Scazzero’s shtick is sowing corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and […]

Evangelicals are quick to praise Charles Spurgeon, who stood tall for the purity of God’s Gospel during the Downgrade Controversy. Unfortuntely, there really doesn’t seem to be any Spurgeon on the horizon today in what’s truly is a New Downgrade No-Controversy With Its Apostles Of Unbelief. Spurgeon reminds you what squishy evangelical leaders have forgotten concerning the […]

Apprising Ministries continues walking the point in what is truly appears to me to be a spiritual version of the Vietnam War. Let’s get this straight; if your evanjellyfish leaders in the church visible had any spiritual backbone at all, there’d be no need for ministries like mine. However, these women in men’s pants—terrified of their own spiritual shadows—don’t; therefore, […]

The other day in Tim Keller On Greatest Names In Praying And Spirituality at Apprising Ministries I shared my plan. That’s to continue to give you reason to be concerned about the corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala the Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin, Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard, […]

Apprising Ministries labors in the still developing mission field of online apologetics and discernment ministry monitoring Intel along the Internet Front, among other things. What many don’t seem to realize is information moves at warp speed on the Net; but at the same time, much of what I show you here each day won’t find its way […]

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected […]
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jun 19, 2011 in Current Issues, Features, Roman Catholicism | Comments Off on SOLA SCRIPTURA AND THE EARLY CHURCH
The Reformation was responsible for restoring to the Church the principle of sola Scriptura, a principle which had been operative within the Church from the very beginning of the post apostolic age. Initially the apostles taught orally but with the close of the apostolic age all special revelation that God wanted preserved for man was […]

For the household gods utter nonsense, and the diviners see lies; they tell false dreams and give empty consolation. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd. (Zechariah 10:2) Transformation Is Very Real…Spiritual Deception Unfortunately the spiritually obtuse seem to think the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent […]
