An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most short-sighted can hardly fail to notice it. During the past few years it has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done […]

Apprising Ministries continues calling out what appears to be an emerging ecumenical magisterium growing up around the ill-fated Elephant Room of seriously drifting James MacDonald and New Calvinist Mark Driscoll. Sadly, there’s a progressive New Downgrade No-Controversy going on within broader evangelicalism; and, like the proverbial frog slowly boiling to death in a pot, over the past couple of decades people simply […]

As an online apologetics and discernment ministry, it’s part of my job here at Apprising Ministries to monitor Intel along the Internet and document for you the continued falling away of the evangelical community.

This time we live in is marred by the false philosophy of postmodernism, which is more deeply entrenched within the gates of Christendom than most realize. Circa 2000 mainstream evangelicalism made the ill-fated decision to embrace the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult operating within the Emerging Church aka the Emergent Church. Sadly, the EC—headed by, among others, its trinity of apostates, Living […]
