Jesus tells us — “For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37). With this in mind we now let the words of universalist Roman Catholic priest Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) speak for themselves. Nouwen is so often quoted concerning so-called Spiritual Formation rooted in apostate Roman […]

Here’s a case in […]

By Dr. Orrel Steincamp, The Plumbline Newsletter Archive Unbelievable and largely unseen ecumenical coalitions and ad hoc alliances are forming. These alliances are being forged by a small cadre of seeker-driven mega church celebrity pastors/authors. These vision-casting celebrities are in effect acting as power brokers in forming ecumenical coalitions. As with all coalitions these players are […]

By Glenn E. Chafield and used with permission Ravi Zacharias has long been one of my favorite apologists ever since I first heard him on radio broadcasts while I lived in the Chicago area. He has always been a solid defender of the faith. I don’t know what has gotten into Mr. Zacharias, but […]

As one in the still developing mission field of online apologetics and discernment ministry here at Apprising Ministries it goes with the territory to take quite a bit of “friendly fire.” For example, in Meet The Ordained Women Ministers Of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries’ Speaking Team I told you RZIM spokesman Rick Manafo accused me of doing a […]

UPDATE: RAVI ZACHARIAS: GOD INSPIRED NICKY GUMBEL IN HIS WORK WITH THE ALPHA COURSE Apprising Ministries broke the story the other day that Ravi Zacharias Calls Word Faith Preacher Joyce Meyer “Such A Great Bible Teacher” God Is Using.

UPDATE: EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO RAVI ZACHARIAS DOESN’T ADDRESS WHY ZACHARIAS PRAISES JOYCE MEYER. Perhaps this all begins to make more sense now because in this piece you’ll also get to meet “Rev.” Margaret Manning, an apologist for the RZIM speaking team. I’ve pointed out many times now that as a general rule, and a courtesy, we do […]
