APPRISING MINISTRIES DISCERNMENT & EDIFICATION
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jun 23, 2011 in Current Issues, Features
A main focus of this particular online apologetics and discernment work here at Apprising Ministries, has been monitoring and exposing the Emerging Church, now upgraded to version 2.0 with its newer, more clearly delineated, postmodern Progressive Christian theology.
This new, and not improved, version of liberal theology—a Liberalism 2.0—is what this sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church will often refer to as “big tent” Emergence Christianity.
Sadly, it all part and parcel of an unnoticed New Downgrade No-Controversy currently going on within evangelicalism at large as spiritual darkness falls across the church visible.
It begins as the twin arms of the semi-pelagian (at best) Church Growth Movement—the Purpose Driven/Seeker Driven and the Emerging Church camps—destroyed faith in the proper Christian spirituality of sola Scriptura.
Now 1 Peter 4:17 judgments are beginning to fall so a large part of my work is to help you discern the errors and then give you ways to counteract and defeat them.
God be praised that He’s using this labor in the Lord to teach, serve and build up His people as evidenced by letters I’ve receiving, a small sample of which follows below.
Perhaps you’ve been blessed through the work here and maybe you might consider helping to support this work here, which extends to Christian Research Network and beyond.
At this time a gift of any amount—whether one time or on a regular basis—goes a long way toward helping to keep AM available along the Internet Front.
We also pray and remain hopeful that a few churches might consider taking on this work as even a small part of their mission giving.

This is a side of my ministries that my local church and my board sees but you may not have been aware of:
Hello Ken,
New life coming home from work every day. My daughter graduated college.
We are all together again. The Lord has restored my family.
And He used you as His instrument to straighten me out over the last four years.
I thank God for what you have done in my life

Dear Ken,
May God continue to strengthen you as you minister to God’s people.
In God’s providence I was directed to your website when I was in the midst of turmoil due to the troubling teachings at my church.
I now attend a wonderful reformed church. The Gospel is preached faithfully week after week.
You are a blessing, Ken! With warm regards,
AM Reader

Dear Ken,
Thank you for the work that you are doing with Apprising Ministries.
I pray that you will be able to continue your crucial work.
As a new Christian, you’ve helped me to understand the gospel, and the nature on the attack on the gospel and on the church.
Your warnings need to be heard by all.
