In Apprising Ministries pieces like Homosexuality Removed From Hillsong College Student Handbook and Tsunami of Pro-Homosexual Books from “Gay Christians” and Supporters I’ve been warning you concerning the powerful pro-homosexual lobby. ((For example, I explained why there’s such a push for the acceptance of homosexual marriage in Dan Haseltine of CCM band Jars of Clay in support of Homosexual Marriage.)) […]

Here at Apprising Ministries I’ve been talking to you about the hue and cry for unity, and this at the expense of proper Biblical doctrine, that’s currently going on within apostatizing evangelicalism. As you might imagine, this has been leading to some rather bizarre happenings and syncretism. For example, we have the quasi-Reformed Francis Chan standing in the […]

By now you are probably aware that on Monday Pope Francis was in Jerusalem visiting “holy sites.” One of those was the al-Aqsa mosque, reputed to be the third holiest site in Islam. While there in the “mosque compound, the Pope urged people of all religions to ‘work together for justice and peace.’” You should […]

Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren just can’t seem to stay out of the news; but then again, who said he tries to. For example, there’s this announcement the other day from Biola University (BU), corrupted by Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, and which is supposedly “a leading Christ-centered university in Southern California.” ((http://bit.ly/1jzcrxm, accessed 5/27/14.)) We find out that Rick and […]

As you’re about to see, this is exactly what Liberty University (LU) is doing while also defending their decision to have Glenn Beck speak at their convocation this past April 25th, ((http://www.liberty.edu/champion/2014/04/glenn-beck-inspires-at-convocation/, accessed 5/23/14.)) which I covered for you in Glenn Beck Preaches Mormon Theology and “Inspires” Liberty University. Now, here at Apprising Ministries I’ve talked before about the indisputable […]

As I told you recently in Mark Driscoll Controversy Cover-Up, since the first Elephant Room (ER) conference, I’ve been talking to you here at Apprising Ministries about a developing Evangelical Ecumenical Magisterium (EEM) growing up around Mark Driscoll and his ER co-host James MacDonald. ((I’ve pointed out, e.g. in Evangelical Ecumenical magisterium Member Steven Furtick with an Ode to Self, that ever since the ignominious Elephant Room […]

Here at Apprising Ministries I’m doing what I can to continue covering The Falling Away Of The Evangelical Church, which appears to be happening at warp speed now. As I recently said in C.J. Mahaney at Together for the Gospel, from where I stand, it looks pretty easy for “big time” pastors, who are always rubbing shoulders together at the […]

By Dr. John Gerstner “The doctrine by which the church stands or falls.” So said Martin Luther about justification by faith alone. John Calvin agreed, calling justification by faith the “hinge” of the Reformation. But was that the historic Christian view? One may say generally of the history of the doctrine of justification that solafideanism (justification-by-faith-alone-ism) […]

The Lord be praised that He saw fit to open the door for Apprising Ministries to have become one of the leading voices against the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church, a neo-liberal cult that was actually operating out in the open and has since blended right in within the mainstream of apostatizing evangelicalism itself. Its primary legacy is that through its […]
