Apprising Ministries has been blessed to have been among the leading online apologetics and discernment ministries (OADM) who’re covering the very clear and present danger posed by the ongoing evangelical fascination with corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). It’s important for you to remember here that CSM, which has been perpetrated throughout evangelicalism as so-called Spiritual Formation by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with […]

Since we came online at the end of August 2005 as one of the pioneers in the field of Internet apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been documenting The Falling Away Of The Evangelical Church. I’ve shown you that indicative of this growing apostasy is the increasing acceptance of Word Faith heretics as mainstream evangelicals, e.g.Cindy Trimm Receives […]

The following by Dr. Gary Gilley, pastor of Southern View Chapel, is republished at Apprising Ministries with permission: (April/May 2012 – Volume 18, Issue 2) Of all the spiritual disciplines the Spiritual Formation Movement promotes, none is more important than prayer and the intake of God’s Word. On the surface we would expect little resistance to these two disciplines […]

In Steven Furtick Grows In Stature And Closer To Word Faith Movement here at Apprising Ministries I reminded you of that prophet-leader’s affinity for Rod Parsley, an obviously over-the-top WF snake oil salesman. The fact is, Parsley’s really a very easily distinguished WF heretic along the order of the flamboyant “faith healer” Benny Hinn; but apparently not for ecumenical […]

Christian Research Network is a sister work of Apprising Ministries. Sadly, The Alpha Course (TAC) is making a comeback. CRN associate editor Erin Benziger told us earlier that The Alpha Course Receives Praise From Moody Radio’s Janet Parshall. Based upon a speaker at an upcoming Desiring God conference, who literally teaches TAC at his church, I wondered: John Piper Approves Of The Alpha […]

Apprising Ministries told you a couple of years ago that reputed modalist and Word Faith mogul “Bishop” T.D. Jakes, was fresh off his annual stint preaching for Southern Baptist pastor Ed Young, Jr when he was also a featured speaker for Bill Hybels and Willow Creek Church in 2010. ((http://www.willowcreek.com/ProdInfo.asp?invtid=PR34744, accessed 1-1-13.)) Remember, he was yet to have been mainstreamed at ER2 by James […]

Apprising Ministries continues showing you that. sadly, syncretism within mainstream evangelicalism is even now slithering ever closer to your own local church. In pieces like Ed Young, Jr. With A Tearful Tribute: The Vision Of “Pastors” Ed And Lisa I’ve talked about an emerging ecumenical magisterium that appears to be forming. This particular group of Seeker Driven and […]

By Christian Research Network Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… This is a repost of an original article on Do Not Be Surprised… Now that the U.S. and Russian governments have reassured all that the world will not end on December 21, we can focus on a more important and even closer date: 12-12-12. Why is this date so crucial? […]

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the […]

By Christian Research Network Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised…This is a repost of an original article on Do Not Be Surprised… The name of Max Lucado is known to most anyone who has ever wandered a so-called Christian bookstore. Along with former Willow Creek pastor Randy Frazee, Lucado pastors Oak Hills Church in San Antonio. He also is the author […]
