You’ll recall that the online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been among those who’ve been reporting on Piper Warrengate that began when Dr. John Piper made a quite dubious decision to bring in, as the keynote speaker, Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren for the Desiring God Conference 2010. Unfortunately this is having the effect of making some otherwise […]

O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me. For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and derision all […]

Apprising Ministries has been keeping you apprised concerning the invitation from Dr. John Piper to Rick Warren asking him to be a keynote speaker at the Desiring God Conference 2010, which has opened up a bit of a Warrengate across the blogosphere. Today Justin Taylor offers The Piper-Warren Connection Revisited over at his Between Two Worlds for The Gospel Coalition. In his post Taylor points us […]

Following up on an earlier tip from my friend John Chisham, last night Apprising Ministries told you that Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren is apparently slated to be among the speakers for the Desiring God 2010 National Conference. Interestingly enough Phil Johnson would tweet: Sounds like an early April Fools joke: http://bit.ly/9nSwdZ (Online source) Even though I don’t know him personally, I […]

[They’re] always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7, NASB). That last phrase is so very telling; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. That is a perfect description of the times in which we live, number one, but think about […]

JOHN ANKERBERG: Now, Dr. John MacArthur, when we met together, we agreed that the ECT document, the “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” document was attempting to join Roman Catholics and Evangelical Protestants together as “cobelligerents,” the word the Francis Schaeffer coined “working at the grass-roots level” in terms of social issues. And we were going to […]

Apprising Ministries draws your attention to the fact that popular Reformed blogger Tim Challies writes today: Last week I met Rick Warren. I was in Los Angeles to speak at the Christian Web Conference (where my topic was “Tweeting Truth With Love: Grace in an Age of Instant Communication”) and at the conference I bumped into […]

Apprising Ministries presents the following to show you where the evangelical community within the visible church will be/is heading now that its largely rejected the all-sufficiency and final authority of the Bible i.e. Sola Scriptura to follow its lust for Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism masquerading as Spiritual Formation as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. In the grand […]

 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1) Reality Check: Do Not Just Believe Everything You Hear About God Truthfully—if I might be allowed that term—the only way we will have any real […]

I’ve said this many times: I can listen to a guy preach—put anybody in front of me—and I’ll tell you what his view of Scripture is by what he says.  If he doesn’t preach out of the Bible, I know what his view of Scripture is, I don’t care what he says.  I don’t care […]
