Apprising Ministries has been warning you concerning the “big tent” version of Progressive Christianity [read: universalism] still being cobbled together by the likes of uber-liberal Harvey Cox along with his friend panentheist progressive/liberal theologian Dr. Philip Clayton, himself friends with Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren. We know from Scripture that the enemy controling the seducing spirits using such as these is already driving them all […]

Apprising Ministries has been discussing something called A Covenant for Civility, e.g. in Diana Butler Bass On Chris Rosebrough, Ingrid Schlueter, And Ken Silva In Sin, where you’ll find the link to the Crosstalk radio program Bass—one of the original signers—and her friend pastor BrianMerritt took exception. The document can be traced back through Southern Baptist ecumenicist Chuck […]

Apprising Ministries has told you that gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker heads up a a rather rapscallion bunch spiritually who call themselves Outlaw Preachers, which is a subset of the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church de-formation of the Christian faith. And Bakker wanted to make sure we knew about: via @huffingtonpost: Why Do Evangelicals Dislike Me So Much? http://huff.to/9ll5ix (Online source) Following […]

This is the new […]
