((For further illustration consider Rick Warren Connections, accessed 1-30-13. )) As a former Roman Catholic and fellow Southern Baptist with Warren I find this kind of […]

As Apprising Ministries continues watching the implosion of evangelicalism, I can tell you that much of its recent apostasy can be traced to the Emerging Church aka the postmodern liberal cult of the Emergent Church. Circa 2000 evangelical churches began exposing their Young Adult and Youth Groups to “alternative services” e.g. using the warped and […]

If you’re familiar with Apprising Ministries you will know that I’m doing what I can to alert you to a growing syncretism and sinful ecumenicism continuing to spread throughout mainstream evangelicalism. And, without a doubt, a leader of this compromise in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) would be Rick Warren, pastor of the highly influential Saddleback […]

By Christian Research Network Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… This is a repost of an original article on Do Not Be Surprised… Christianity is, by necessity, a monotheistic religion. The God that Christians worship—the one, true God—tells His own that this is so: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (Deut. […]

Apprising Ministries reminds you that someone who believes in a Jesus other than Christ Jesus of Nazareth remains dead in their sins because a nonexistent savior can’t save anyone. The Master Himself made this crystal clear when He said to the religious people of His day, recorded for us by the Apostle John, who was […]

By Kevin Kleint and republished with permission from Honor of Kings We Need Quiet Time Before I get into this too deep, let me state that I am an avid believer in spending quiet time with God. We live in a world full of chaos and distraction. Anxiety and ”eye candy” continually compete for our attention and we […]

This is a sorrowful portion of my subject. But it is one which I dare not, can- not pass by. I have no sympathy with those who prophesy nothing but peace, and keep back from men the awful fact, that they may lose their souls. I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the […]

“I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” (John […]
