RICK WARREN ON OPRAH’S LIFECLASS AGAIN FEBRUARY 24TH »

Apprising Ministries has been covering Joel Osteen and Rick Warren—both disciples of human potential teaching a la Robert Schueller —and their joining with Oprah Winfrey and her spiritually bankrupt Lifeclass. You’ll recall that Winfrey brought even more notoriety to heretical Word Faith prosperity preacher Joel Osteen, which I showed you in As She Visits His Church Joel Osteen Celebrates What God Is Doing With Oprah. Rick […]

THE DEITY OF JESUS »

There is hardly a page of Scriptures which unbelief, often parading under the name of science and truth, has not touched and soiled with blasphemous hands. But no other doctrine has so challenged the most desperate efforts of unbelievers inside and outside of the Church than that of the person and office of Christ. The […]

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHAT SOMEONE BELIEVES ABOUT GOD? »

The short answer is: Plenty. How many times have you ever heard comments like these: “My friend is a really nice person. He’s got his religion and I’ve got mine. Does it really matter what we believe about God as long as we believe in Him?” How about: “Oh sure; I believe in God but […]

CHARISMA HOUSE AND JONATHAN CAHN ISSUE STATEMENT CONCERNING DAVID JAMES AND POSSIBLE LAWSUIT »

In my coverage of Prophet Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and his book of mythology called The Harbinger (TH) here at Apprising Ministries I have told you that, by far, the best critique of TH I have yet seen is The Harbinger: Fact or Fiction? by David James. James’ critique was actually adapted from a full-length book that he’d been working on, which has […]

HE GAVE THEM NEW CLOTHES »

By Daniel Neades of Better Than Sacrifice This is a repost of an original article on Better Than Sacrifice I was recently asked to preach at relatively short notice, so what to do? I dusted off my He Gave Them New Clothes post and added an introduction to turn it into a sermon proper. This is the result: He […]

TESTIMONY IN CHURCH GONE REALLY WRONG »

Sadly, in the past seven years of monitoring the visible church here at Apprising Ministries, I have seen churches almost this gullible: Ever hear an awkward, embarrassing testimony that made you feel like sliding out of the pew and out of the church doors? This skit was inspired by those testimonies that took a wrong […]

CHARLES SPURGEON: PREACH THE THREE R’S »

[W]hile all things in God’s word are important, all are not equally important. There are certain fundamental and vital truths which must be believed, or otherwise no man would be saved. If you want to know what you must believe, if ye would be saved, you will find the great things of God’s law between […]

FUTILITY OF POSTMODERN LOGIC »

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: “I refuse to prove that I exist,’” says God, “for proof […]

JOHN MARK COMER FURTHER CLOUDS HIS POLYTHEISM »

Apprising Ministries has been covering the developing story of polytheist John Mark Comer, pastor of Solid Rock Church; a multi-site organization that boasts a membership of some 7,000 on a given Sunday. It’s a growing gathering and, as you can see below, John Mark Comer’s even been at the influential evangelical conference known as Catalyst. ((http://bit.ly/9F8xw1, accessed […]
