One of the trends I’ve been monitoring here at Apprising Ministries is the increasing syncretism of Word Faith mythology into the mainstream of evangelicalism. A good example of this would be two-time Elephant Room vet and Seeker Driven prophet-leader Steven Furtick, e.g. Steven Furtick As Televangelist At Lakewood Church Of Joel Osteen.

By Chris Rosebrough of Fighting For The Faith, used with permission Penal substitution has a long and distinguished pedigree, and was expressely articulated by many in the early Church. Sadly, the myth of the doctrine’s supposed ‘late development’ continues to be perpetuated in books and theological seminaries all over the world. To set the record […]

By Daniel Neades of Better Than Sacrifice This is a repost of an original article on Better Than Sacrifice I recently listened to a train wreck of a sermon by a local Purpose Driven pastor. In his 44 minutes on the subject of faith, he achieved the remarkable feat of avoiding any mention of the proper object […]

Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (Micah 5:2) The Lord Jesus had goings forth for his people as their representative before the throne, long before they appeared upon the stage of time.

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.  Because of this, God gave them over to […]

By Christian Research Network correspondent Mike Ratilff of Possessing the Treasure This is a repost of an original article on Possessing the Treasure 9 συνεπέθεντο δὲ καὶ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι φάσκοντες ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχειν. 10 Ἀπεκρίθη τε ὁ Παῦλος νεύσαντος αὐτῷ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος λέγειν· ἐκ πολλῶν ἐτῶν ὄντα σε κριτὴν τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ ἐπιστάμενος εὐθύμως τὰ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀπολογοῦμαι, 11 δυναμένου […]

As the Lord would will Apprising Ministries emerged as a leading critic of Rob Bell, former rock star icon of the Emerging Church. In fact, back in 2008 I would end up writing Rob Bell And Christian Universalism. Therein I began to show you that Rob Bell was already leaning toward, as well as beginning to teach, a form of […]

By Jon Cardwell, pastor of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Anniston, Alabama “Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that […]

We march to heaven on two feet. The one foot is called `repentance’ and the other foot is called `faith.’ Because I believe I repent about a certain sin, habit or attitude. Because I repent I return to learn more for my faith. My faith leads me to do more repentance. Left, right, left, right–one […]
