Here at Apprising Ministries I’ve told you before that Steven Furtick, who’s the spiritually nefarious prophet-leader of the highly influential multi-site megachurch known as Elevation Church, is without a doubt a leading member of a new Evangelical Ecumenical Magisterium (EEM). You’ve also likely seen me talk about how those who are succumbing to a growing charismania, such as […]

If you are at all familiar with my work here at Apprising Ministries then you’ll know that I’ve been covering what appears to me to be a developing Evangelical Ecumenical Magisterium (EEM). As I said before, it looks to have gained much momentum through the ecumenical Elephant Rooms 1 and 2 emanating from James MacDonald and assisted by his […]

You may recall that months before the ill-fated ecumenical Elephant Room 2 I began to warn you here at Apprising Ministries that ER2 co-hosts James MacDonald and Mark Driscoll would use ER2 to mainstream Word Faith mogul T.D. Jakes. And even though James MacDonald Was A Bit Late In Mainstreaming T.D. Jakes, sadly, while at ER2 Jakes was allowed to affirm both trinitarianism and […]

Apprising Ministries has told you before that Seeker Driven prophet-pastor Steven Furtick is undoubtedly a rising star within mainstream evangelicalism; particularly in its younger sectors. I’ve also pointed you to what sure appears to me to be a new Evangelical Ecumenical Magisterium (EEM) that’s been growing up around the ignominious Elephant Room (ER) of James MacDonald. With a boost from […]

It’s really no secret here at Apprising Ministries that I’m a firm believer in the infallibility and inerrancy of God’s Word as contained in the Bible. As I read Holy Scripture I see it to teach what is generally known as the young earth model of creation and no scientific evidence to the contrary. With […]

In Rick Warren Asks Us To Fast And Pray For God To Help Apostates Elect Their New Pope, just about a year ago, Apprising Ministries brought you another vivid illustration of an evangelical who is either disingenuous or ignorant of the damnable differences between Rome and the Protestant Reformation. Sadly, pretending to be Protestants like Warren and SBC-promoted quasi-pastrix […]

Apprising Ministries has been blessed to have been among the leading online apologetics and discernment ministries (OADM) who’re covering the very clear and present danger posed by the ongoing evangelical fascination with corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). It’s important for you to remember here that CSM, which has been perpetrated throughout evangelicalism as so-called Spiritual Formation by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with […]

In J.I. Packer And Tim Keller Endorsing The Alpha Course here at Apprising Ministries, as far back as two years ago, I attempted to show you that the hyper-charismatic The Alpha Course (TAC)—marred by Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM)—is making another comeback within the mainstream of the visible church. Another example might be found in John Piper Approves Of The Alpha Course? There I […]

\ Toward the end of the twentieth century, Roman Catholic and Protestant leaders met frequently to discuss the similarities and the differences between the two groups. In 1994, a significant document, “Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Commission in the Third Millennium,” was released. In 1997 a document was released by some of the same […]
