As I continue to battle through lingering health issues here at the online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries, I’m doing my best to carry on and document for you the sheer rapidity with which doctrinal distinctives are now being obliterated. You may recall I explained to you that James MacDonald Was A Bit Late In Mainstreaming T.D. […]

In earlier Apprising Ministries pieces like Homosexuality Removed From Hillsong College Student Handbook and Pastor Danny Cortez and his Gay-Affirming New Heart Community Church I’ve been warning you concerning the powerful pro-homosexual lobby that’s now applying pressure within mainstream evangelicalism.

I first mentioned “hipster” pastor Carl Lentz aka the “Apostle of Cool,” here at Apprising Ministries in my article NYC Hillsong Hipster Pastor Carl Lentz Hedging On Homosexuality, which was even quoted the other day by Alex Kocman of Charisma magazine in his report Hillsong NYC’s ‘Apostle of Cool’ Carl Lentz Waffling on Homosexuality.
