BOB DEWAAY: OPRAH’S DANGEROUS POP SPIRITUALITY EASTERN MYSTICISM

This time we live in is marred by the false philosophy of postmodernism, which is more deeply entrenched within the gates of Christendom than most realize.

JOHN CALVIN ON MONASTIC VOWS I.E. SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES

In Means Of Grace: Searching The Scriptures the other day here at Apprising Ministries reminded you about the spread of what I call a cult of Foster-Willardism deep within mainstream Protestant evangelicalism; and with it, a rebirth of Pietism masquerading as the Spritiual Formation.
