As an online apologetics and discernment ministry (OADM) Apprising Ministries covers a growing array of apostasy as the Lord continues sending spiritual blindness across professing Christendom in the U.S. I have been writing quite a bit recently about what I’m calling the ecumenical evangelical magisterium (EEM), which really seemed to jell after the Elephant Room […]

Apprising Ministries believes this is a very important issue that really needs to be brought more out into the light. Unfortunately, it’s still largely under the radar within the mainstream of Christendom; and keep in mind that I’m saying this as a pastor myself, because it needs saying. Recently I’ve been bringing the subject of growing […]

“Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:46-47) It’s Sin If You Don’t Love God With Your Whole Heart And Your Neighbor As Yourself The […]

It’s a sad sign of the times in this gelatinous generation that Apprising Ministries has to cover Word Faith wingnuts like trinitarian modalist T.D. Jakes in the context of mainstream evangelicalism. Yet, thanks to ecumenical evangelical magisterium members James MacDonald and Mark Driscoll at their Elephant Room 2 council, Jakes has now even found refuge within younger Reformed sectors. […]

Apprising Ministries has been warning you for a while now that Seeker Driven prophet-leader Steven Furtick Grows In Stature And Closer To The Word Faith Movement. Sadly, his Elevation Church (EC) is one of the more influential churches in the mainstream of the evangelical community and Steven Furtick himself is actually a sought-after speaker. Furtick’s shtick is marrying Seeker […]

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 […]

Apprising Ministries has been pointing out for over two years now that there is unquestionably a growing syncretism of heretical Word Faith mythology slithering into the theology of apostatizing evangelicalism. For example, Joel Osteen Moving One Step Closer To Mainstream Evangelicalism, where Rick Warren is set to share the podium for the Hillsong Church Conference 2013 along […]

In Lawsuit Targets Sovereign Grace Ministries And Co-Founder Over New Child Sex Abuse Allegations here at Apprising Ministries I brought you up to speed concerning that amended lawsuit. Things are a bit difficult for SGM right now. ((http://bit.ly/UpYFzr, accessed 1-15-13.)) As I mentioned before, last December we began to see some real fallout from the suit in Flagship […]

Apprising Ministries has often told you about “contexualization,” i.e. attempting to make “the Gospel relevant” to a postmodern culture and a postChristian nation. But, 1) the original liberals already tried that with their “modern theology” attempting to cobble together a form of Christianity for their modern culture. And, 2) the United States was never a […]
