Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with […]

Apprising Ministries has been a leading voice exposing the extreme dangers posed by the Emerging Church, also known as the Emergent Church, which slithered out into view in the late ’90s. I warned that it had as a core doctrine Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as taught by key EC mentors Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard. EC leader Brian […]

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to […]

Sola fide and sola gratia, as used in the Protestant Reformation, form the basis of a God-centered Gospel; meaning that while the sinner is dead in his trespasses and sins, God Himself sovereignly regenerates those whom He will. By His gift of grace God gives them the faith to believe in Christ, and they repent of their […]

Apprising Ministries gave you a description of this social justice “Jesus,” whose roots are firmly within spiritually bankrupt liberal theology, years ago in Will The Real Jesus Please Stand Up?: I am the Jesus of today’s liberal theology of inclusive, politically correct, universalism. I am only a human man—arguably the best example of a man and the greatest […]
