Apprising Ministries continues our coverage of The Harbinger (TH) by Jonathan Cahn, which if you’re in leadership, has been quite likely already sneaking into your own local church at the grassroots level. For more on TH I refer you to Is The Harbinger Fact Or Fiction? and Chris Rosebrough Short Circuits Jonathan Cahn And The Harbinger. Suffice here to […]

In the Apprising Ministries piece Wretched: Steven Furtick Sounding Like Word Faith Preacher Todd Friel of Wretched Radio is right when he says: Steven Furtick [is] looking more and more like a Word Faith preacher all the time. Here is a little nugget called “Tapping the Full Potential of Your Power” from his series Grapes and Giants. That’s […]

You’ve likely heard me talk quite a bit lately here at Apprising Ministries about the insipid cult of the Word Faith movement slithering deeper into the mainstream of the church visible. To be clear, there’s been a lot of really good work done in exposing the Word Faith movement; particularly by online apologetics and discernment […]

Earlier today here at Apprising Ministries, because there’s a new book set to drop, I told you that Rob Bell, He’s Back…Well, Almost: (source) As I said earlier, we’re not sure if this is a book of new material or simply compilation of the mythology from Rob Bell, the rock star pastor of the Emerging Church. Oddly enough, on the day this news is […]

Apprising Ministries has previously warned you about Peter Scazzero, the founder and senior pastor of New Life Fellowship Church, e.g. in Peter Scazzero Introducing Enneagrams Into Mainstream Evangelicalism. Scazzero is actually a leading perpetrator of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) a la gurus Dallas Willard and his spiritual twin Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. He’s no lightweight; I showed you three years ago in Rick Warren […]

As far as I’m concerned that caption hits at the root of the problem with Jonathan Cahn and The Harbinger (TH). Apprising Ministries began coverage of TH with The Harbinger: Prophetic Fact Or Fickle Fiction? He’s often portrayed in his myriad appearances promoting TH as someone who is a prophet or, at the very least, someone with […]

For the past few years Apprising Ministries has been a leading online apologetics and discernment work covering the now upgraded sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church. The EC 2.0 has now cobbled together its own postmodern form of Progressive Christian theology. What we’re actually dealing with here is a Liberalism 2.0, which these apostates will often refer […]

Ok, so it’s not strictly exclusive to Apprising Ministries, but work with me here, k. Seriously, this is a Christian Post piece today called Rick Warren: ‘You Can’t Please Everyone’. In it sinful ecumenicist Southern Baptist and pragmatic people-pleaser Rick Warren actually does a satirical send-up of himself as he pontificates below: Megachurch Pastor Rick Warren knows he […]

Apprising Ministries reminds you that when you meet people from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons)] they will often say to you: “We’re Christians too, because we believe in the Savior Jesus Christ.” However, the defining area concerning whether one is a Christian or not is what they teach concerning the historic […]
