Apprising Ministries brings to your attention the following hard-hitting and prophetic words, circa 1986, from “the father of modern cult apologetics” Dr. Walter Martin (1928-1989). No matter what you may think of some things he taught, it is simply beyond question that, in his day, Dr. Martin was a foremost defender of what he so […]

These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you. (Psalm 50:21) Men Said, “Let Us Make God In Our Image.” Some people just don’t get it. Apprising Ministries has been making you aware of the now upgraded Emerging Church 2.0 with […]

Apprising Ministries has been covering the rise of the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church for half a decade now; and for the past year, I’ve been showing you how it was a Trojan Horse that was foolishly taken inside mainstream evangelicalism.

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ… These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear. (Jude 4, 12) Heading Toward An Already Foregone […]

…they are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. (Isaiah 2:6) Postmodern Calvinism And Counter Reformation Spirituality This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been blessed of Jesus to be used as one of His “go-to” ministries in the area of the ne0-Gnostic corruption called Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), which […]

The online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been covering the rise within mainstream squishy evanjellyfish of the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church with its quasi-universalism in a new version of Progressive Christian theology under their spiritual circus “big tent” Emergence Christianity. As I explained in Emergent Church: A Diseased Tree the discernment ministry Herescope has some excellent […]
