The PyroManiacs devote some space each weekend to highlights from The Spurgeon Archive. The following excerpt is from “Under Constraint,” a sermon preached Sunday morning 28 April 1878 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London: I have not much patience with a certain class of Christians nowadays who will hear anybody preach so long as they […]

As a small companion piece to Brian McLaren And His New Emerging Progressive Theology here at Apprising Ministries I now point you to today’s Jesus, Reconsidered: Book Sparks Evangelical Debate by Barbara Bradley Hagerty religion correspondent for NPR.

As I pointed out in that prior […]

As a reader of Apprising Ministries it’s old news that Brian McLaren is a leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church with its Emergence Christianity. Back in November of 2005 I began pointing out that the Emerging Church (EC) had all the hallmarks of becoming a newer version of what cult expert Dr. Walter Martin […]
