SETTING BRIAN MCLAREN STRAIGHT »

Apprising Ministries has been warning you about the judgments coming upon the church visible now that mainstream evangelicalism has embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church. I’ve also told you that EC progressive/liberal theologians such as Dr. Philip Clayton of the Transforming Theology network and Tony Jones, heretical “theologian in residence” at the church of his equally heretical quasi-universalist pastor Doug [...]

BRIAN MCLAREN TAKES ON AL MOHLER OVER ROB BELL »

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will [...]

BIG TENT CIRCUS OF POSTMODERN LIBERALISM »

These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you. (Psalm 50:21) Men Said, “Let Us Make God In Our Image.” Some people just don’t get it. Apprising Ministries has been making you aware of the now upgraded Emerging Church 2.0 with [...]

TIME'S UP BRIAN MCLAREN »

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ… These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear. (Jude 4, 12) Heading Toward An Already Foregone [...]

JOHN MACARTHUR ON SOLA SCRIPTURA »

First, it is necessary to understand what sola Scriptura does and does not assert. The Reformation principle of sola Scriptura has to do with the sufficiency of Scripture as our supreme authority in all spiritual matters. Sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in [...]

THE EMERGING CHURCH IS UNAWARE IT'S DEAD »

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ… Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious [...]

THE EMERGING CHURCH AND EVOLUTIONARY CHRISTIANITY »

Apprising Ministries continues doing what we can to alert spiritually obtuse pretending to be Protestant evangelicals to the grave dangers and deceptions of embracing the Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) perpetrated by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster, along with his friend and spiritual twin SBC minister Dallas Willard, as so-called Spiritual Formation (SF). But CSM is nothing more than refried Roman Catholic mysticism with [...]

WHAT'S NEW AT THE BUILD-A-gOD SHOP »

These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you. (Psalm 50:21) Men Said, “Let Us Make God In Our Image.” The analogy I’m using in this piece here at Apprising Ministries I first heard used by a [...]

GO WRONG IN DOCTRINE, GO WRONG IN LIFE »

People say, ‘Do not be negative; let us be positive; let us just preach the simple gospel’. But the Bible is full of negatives, full of warnings, ever showing us these terrible possibilities. If you find in yourself a dislike of the warnings of the Scripture and of this negative teaching, it is obvious that [...]
