“For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside.”  (Mark 7:21-23) Creating Your Own Way To Worship In the Apprising Ministries post Monvee To Open Door For Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism In Evangelicalism I showed you yet another way that […]

In posts like Monvee To Open Door For Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism In Evangelicalism and Contemplative Spirituality Of Richard Foster Rooted In The Eastern Desert And Thomas Merton here at Apprising Ministries, I’ve been following a trail blazed by Lighthouse Trails Research, and have long been exposing the dangers of the new fad in apostatizing evangelicalism of practicing corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). By […]

In articles like Dr. Jay McDaniel And Mysticism At Northwest Nazarene Universary and Southern Baptist Convention Embracing The Emerging Church and Rick Warren And Peter Scazzero With Messed-Up Monk-ee Bizness here at Apprising Ministries I continue to warn of the crippling effects of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster, with an assist from his spiritual twin Dallas […]

In Rick Warren And Peter Scazzero Up To Monk-ee Business earlier at Apprising Ministries I told you Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has conference called Radicalis that’s set to begin next Tuesday February 9 at Saddleback Church. Radicalis now features Dr. Ed Stetzer along with his Acts 29 cohort Mark Driscoll, Perry Noble, Kerry Shook, and Andy Stanley; I […]

Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? (1 Corinthians 5:6, ESV) Romanticizing Rome It would appear so. A while back Apprising Ministries told you that Rick Warren And Peter Scazzero Are Up To Monk-ee Business and also asked is: Tim Keller Endorsing Counter-Reformation Contemplative Spirituality? Briefly, Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has actually […]

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. (1 John 2:19) Back To The Dark Ages Apprising Ministries is glad to see in 9 Marks: Intervarsity […]

…or just another typical day with Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren. Seriously, I wonder if  this guy even pays attention to what he says himself. Today Warren tweeted: You can be straight as a rifle barrel doctrinally & just as empty spiritually. “Without love I am nothing!” 1 Cor13:2 (Online source)   Uh-huh, […]

Today Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren tweets: RickWarren “Proclaiming love yet experiencing so much hate. But don’t quit or cave in. It is all well worth it in the end”Mt.10:22 (Mes) (Online source) Um, well thank you Dr. Warren; being he has the adulation of the world, apparently America’s mega-pastor wishes to encourage those of us in this […]

Apprising Ministries has warned in posts e.g. Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism? and Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention that for years now Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin and Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard has been rapidly spreading throughout mainstream evangelicalism under the guise of spurious Spiritual Formation. What follows is yet another sad case in point. Yesterday […]

They are filled with influences from the east,… (Isaiah 2:6, NASB) Protestantism Returning To Dark Ages? Apprising Ministries began looking into this question in Confusion Concerning Calvinist Spirituality? Therein I followed up a tip from a reader concerning The Village Church (TVC) where Matt Chandler, a professing Calvinist, is pastor. Let me be crystal clear here; I am well aware of pastor Chandler’s current situation with his battling a malignant brain […]
