THE WORLD WON’T BELIEVE; BUT YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN »

Here at Apprising Ministries you’ve often heard me talk about the spiritually bankrupt Church Growth Movement (CGM). ((You’ll find this from Bob DeWaay helpful in understanding the flaws of the CGM: http://cicministry.org/commentary/issue89.htm, accessed 4/30/14.)) Even more specifically about the Purpose Driven/Seeker Drivenism of e.g. Rick Warren and the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the […]

READY FOR “THE ROB BELL SHOW” ON OPRAH’S NETWORK? »

A couple of weeks back here at Apprising Ministries I pointed out that Rob Bell is Set to Tour with Oprah Winfrey.You may also recall I told you that it was back in 2008 I would feel led to write Rob Bell And Christian Universalism. Therein I began to show you that, even then, Rob Bell was already leaning […]

DAN HASELTINE OF CCM BAND JARS OF CLAY IN SUPPORT OF HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE »

Four years ago here at Apprising Ministries in Tony Jones: Stop Performing (Legal) Marriages I told you that there’s a very real reason why the Emerging Church aka the Emergent Church de-formation of Christianity has been so interested in promoting the issue of same-sex, i.e. homosexual, marriage. You see, once it is finally officially recognized as a legal marriage (and it’s only […]

TONIGHT ON TBN JAN CROUCH INTERVIEWS FRANKLIN GRAHAM »

  Recently in On Contemplative Spirituality And Charismania here at Apprising Ministries I explained once again what I mean by charismania. I’m using the word as an apt description of the excesses of hyper-charismatic practices a la what you see daily on the haven of heretics known as Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). As I said, one of the results […]

RECOVERING THE GOSPEL: EVANGELISM IN SARDIS »

As you probably know, being an online apologetic and discernment labor in the Lord, a large part of the mission of Apprising Ministries has to do with turning over lots of rocks and then shining the light of Scripture upon the various types of snakes that come slithering out when thus exposed. It’s not a […]

WATERBROOK MULTNOMAH DIVIDING AGAINST ITSELF? »

 [Jesus] answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. “Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:13-14) As Spiritual Blindness Grows Evangelicalism Converging With More And More Apostates It would appear so. From my coverage here at Apprising Ministries of the Emerging Church aka […]

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCALES BACK DUTIES OF PROVOST RON GODWIN OVER HINN VIDEO »

You’ve likely noticed here lately at Apprising Ministries that I’ve been spending quite a bit of time covering the pitiful position of far too many mainstream evangelical leaders when it comes to promoting, and even partnering with, Word Faith prosperity preachers like “trinitarian-modalist” T.D. Jakes. Along that line, the other day I covered Liberty University Partnering with Word Faith Flake […]

APPRISING MINISTRIES WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP »

If you are a regular reader of Apprising Ministries, then you probably know about my battle with the osteomyelitis, which affected my spine. It was just over a year ago now that I would go into the hospital for nearly four full months. Unfortunately, we were without health insurance. So, we have since ended up with a six figure debt. […]

C.J. MAHANEY AT TOGETHER FOR THE GOSPEL »

  Here at Apprising Ministries I’m doing what I can to continue covering The Falling Away Of The Evangelical Church, which is the article that essentially launched this work. Not long after I found fmyself among those who are also pioneering this still developing work of online apologetics and discernment ministry. Like it or not, as Jesus sends spiritual […]
