As Os Guinness pointed out in a perceptive series of articles on the church-growth movement, traditional evangelicalism not only resisted worldly influences, but also used to stress “cognitive defiance” of the world spirit. Now, however, “the world has become so powerful, pervasive, and appealing that the traditional stance of cognitive defiance has become rare and […]

O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? (Psalm 4:2) Mysticism Opens The Door For Globalism  It’s simply an indisputable fact that, even now, a part of its spiritually lurid legacy of the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church is its fueling the current fad of Protestant evangelicals practicing […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20) Postmodernism And Sola Scriptura Are Mutually Exclusive We must come to realize that a lot of what e.g. I’m covering here at Apprising Ministries these past five plus years is, in […]

Apprising Ministries now brings you a follow up to More Questions Concerning Dr. John Piper where I reminded you that when Dr. Piper made the ill-advised decision to invite Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to DG 2010 as a keynote speaker it set off a rippling effect where people, and not merely discernment ministries, have started to look a little closer at his theology, educational background, and associations; […]

It’s simply an indisputable fact that, even now, a part of its spiritually lurid legacy of the upgraded sinfully ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church is its fueling the current fad of Protestant evangelicals practicing corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster—and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard. So a large part of the online apologetics […]

1. The warning against false teachers Christ then said, “Beware of false prophets” (Matthew 7:15). For every true prophet calling people to the narrow way, are a multiplicity of false prophets calling people to the broad way that leads to destruction. Christ’s warning [about false teachers] was not new. Deuteronomy 13:1-5 documents the presence of […]

Apprising Ministries notes that as Anne Rice “quits Christianity,” and apostasy continues slithering its way through increasingly squishy evanjellyfish, more and more people have become surprised by this sad state of affairs in the visible church. Below is a section of John MacArthur’s message Apostates, Be Warned, Part 2, which was actually part of the series […]

The whole Bible, and the whole of experience, bear witness that by nature we are ignorant of the truth. No doubt there are many truths which an unconverted man does know. He may know the truths of mathematics and arithmetic – he may know many of the common everyday truths; but still it cannot be […]

[In his book] Jude is calling us to engage in the war on spiritual terrorism, to engage in a war that is far more important than any war on political terrorists, or military terrorists or any other kind. We are to be vigilant, we are to be alert, we are to be discerning, we are […]
