Apprising Ministries has been tracking the influx of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), which arrived inside the wall of the mainstream of evangelicalism within the Trojan Horse of the Emerging Church. In our 6+ years along the Internet Front I’ve observed CSM a la neo-Gnostics like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard slithering deeply into the church. Here’s a case in […]

(Philippians 2:5-7) Don’t Be Fooled As Richard Foster […]

As evidenced e.g. by articles like On Contemplative Spirituality and Charismania, one of the issues I’ve been covering here at Apprising Ministries is the influx of hyper-charismatic excesses and full-on Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) into mainstream evangelicalism. Take for example charismaniacs Rick Warren and NAR’s Samuel Rodriguez ERLC at the SBC and Catalystt Contemplative Lab led by CSM Guru Phileena Heuertz. As I survey […]

The Lord be praised that He saw fit to open the door for Apprising Ministries to have become one of the leading voices against the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church, a neo-liberal cult that was actually operating out in the open and has since blended right in within the mainstream of apostatizing evangelicalism itself. Its primary legacy is that through its […]
