The critics of online apologetics and discernment works such as Apprising Ministries are under the mistaken impression that someone like myself goes “looking for” these issues I’ve been covering these past 6 years as Jesus has built this ministry of His Gospel.

Apprising Ministries continues documenting the growing influence of Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) right into the timid heart of the squishy evanjellyfish pretending to be Protestant community. I’ve told you that the main catalyst for this spiritual skubalon is the Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin, Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard; […]

The largely pretending to be Protestant evangelical community continues its pilgrimage back to the legalistic spiritual bondage of apostate Roman Catholicism and its evil author the Church of Rome.

Apprising Ministries is doing what we can to help alert you to the 1 Peter 4:17 judgments now coming upon the church visible in large part rooted in the foolish decision by mainstream evangelical leaders to not purge the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church from its ranks.
