A FEW SIGHS FROM HELL »

And if thou beest a Christian (to whom this may come) that hast not only had a prize in thy hands, but wisdom given thee from above to make use of it, and art one who (whilst others are seeking to make this world and hell together sure to themselves) spendest thy time, and makest […]

LOVE HAS BEEN TURNED BACKWARD »

28  And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your […]

LIVING BEYOND OURSELVES »

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10) By becoming doers of good, we are known as children of the good God. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9, KJV). A man is a […]

RESPOND WITH GENTLENESS »

Apprising Ministries has been among those who have spent years continuing to pioneer a mission field of online apologetics and discernment ministry (OADM). A common fallacy way too often promoted concerning some of us involved in OADM is an alleged anger in our writings as we cover various issues. I can only speak for myself, but I can assure […]

THE BRONZE SNAKE »

26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Galatians 3:26-27) Some people imagine that faith is a quality that sticks to the heart on its own, with or without Christ. This is a dangerous error. Christ should be placed directly before our […]

THE WAR OF THE FLESH »

The root of what we see all around us today as the world spins further out into decadence, and professing Christendom seems bent to follow it, is found in the Book of Romans: 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the […]

CITIZENS OF HEAVEN ON EARTH »

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 3:20) What is meant by our being citizens in heaven? Why, first that we are under heaven’s government. Christ the King of heaven reigns in our hearts; the laws of glory are the laws of our consciences. Our daily […]

THE SPIRIT CRIES OUT »

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:6) Paul could have said, “God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who says, ‘Abba, Father.’ ” But he purposely says “calls out,” to indicate the Christian who is still […]

SEPARATION FROM THIS UNGODLY WORLD »

Apprising Ministries has been a leading online apologetics and discernment ministry covering the spreading of apostasy throughout mainstream evangelicalism. Much of this has come about because of its embrace of the Emerging Church, which has a neo-liberal cult operating within it often referred to as the Emergent Church. By now you may know that this EC has developed […]

OUR SIGNIFICANCE TO GOD »

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?  (Psalm 8:3-4) Lift up your eyes now to the heavens, and count the stars. Listen to the astronomer as he […]
