In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. (2 Timothy 4:1-2)

This short piece is developed from argumentation in a combox of a post called Rob Bell and his stance on homosexuality by the wife of a friend of Rob Bell. This couple happen to be members in covenant community attending Mars Hill Bible Church where Bell is their “teaching pastor.” Not surprisingly they aren’t real fond of [...]

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD’… If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
(Matthew 4:4; John 8:31, [...]

At the very tip of an iceberg of apostasy the Emerging Church is currently amassing troops for a major assault on Sola Scriptura. From our forward firing base here at Apprising Ministries along the Eastern Front of this Truth War we see Emergent rebels becoming more emboldened as they continue their build up. Here’s just a couple of examples. At [...]

 
DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA
The postmodern homosexual lobby growing within mainstream evangelicalism, itself openly embracing existential Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), is right now using the exact same rhetoric concerning the Bible as did the modern homosexual lobby in the now dead mainline denominations who earlier embraced the exact same CSM.

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA
We have been discussed here at Apprising Ministries an escalating rebellion against Sola Scriptura in the Emergent Church. And in Faith House Manhattan: Project of Apostasy by Samir Selmanovic AM has introduced you to self-proclaimed “Presbymergent” Adam Walker Cleveland. Cleveland was a contributor to the recent book An Emergent Manifesto of Hope (EMH) [...]

The first thing I’d like to point out in this post here at Apprising Ministries is that I strongly disagree with Chad Holtz; however as I told him in the combox of his post “Why Evangelize?”, unlike many others who likely hold the same view of Christian Universalism, I do respect him for at least having [...]

For one to come to understand what is currently going on within evangelicalism they will have to realize that many of the younger leaders within the visible church have already had their theology warped by corrupt Bible college and seminary professors.
As a result we are seeing within mainstream evangelicalism a reimagined version of just about every [...]

 
DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA

The Emergent rebellion against Sola Scriptura continues gaining strength and because evangelicalism only pays it lip service anyway subjective “experiences” with “God” will very quickly become the norm. You will continue to see leaders in the Emerging Church come out of the closet in their support of practicing homosexuals being accepted as Christians as Tony Jones  already has.
You will [...]

Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has opened his mouth again in order to exhange feet at a Beliefnet piece called “Rick Warren’s Dark Night of the Soul.” That reference comes from the false teaching of a messed mystic called “St.” John of the Cross, who was a disciple of another defender of apostate Roman Catholicism “St.” Teresa of Avila.
In the quote [...]
