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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

(Galatians 1:9) How Is A Different Gospel Now Considered The Same Gospel? Apprising Ministries has long been covering the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church—a […]

“Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?” (Amos 3:3) Big Tent Progessive Revolution In the articles Big Tent Christianity Pretending To Be The Church and Pretending That Big Tent Christianity Is The Church, which serves as the second part, Apprising Ministries has taken you through a short report entitled Big Tent conference in Raleigh hopes to […]

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who […]

Apprising Ministries has reminded you that the Emerging Church 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 Pagitt, are busy “doing theology.” This is their term for bantering ideas back and forth—that may or may not have anything to do with the Bible—as they […]
