Today [circa 1985], in the Christian world, we see a spectre rising in the greatest of all the [non-Christian] cults; it is the doctrine of universalism. Karl Barth taught it; neo-orthodoxy teaches it, it is the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees—and it reaches out—and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale [mentor to Robert Schuller] has become […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been among those who’ve been reporting on the awful decline of mainstream evangelicalism, which made the tragic mistake of embracing the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church—with its “big tent” Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity.   Now, because evangelical churches began using warped and toxic teachings e.g. of […]

The sad fact is that mainstream evangelicalism embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church—with its  its “big tent” Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity—and e.g. began using warped and toxic teachings of EC leaders like Emerging Church rock star pastor Rob Bell, and has been poisoning its own young. So Apprising Ministries has been giving you peeks at its bleak future of division […]

This just in from Internet News headquarters, where our motto is: If it’s news; it’s news to us. Dateline Anywhere USA; maybe even Your Town: This just in…the world’s gone mad. Ok, that’s not so new; however, there’s been some talk around the blogosphere recently about the release of a translation of the Bible that may […]

A main focus of this particular online apologetics and discernment work here at Apprising Ministries, has been monitoring and exposing of the Emerging Church,  now upgraded to 2.0 with its newer, more clearly delineated, postmodern Progressive Christian theology. This new, and not improved, progressive/liberal theology—a Liberalism 2.0—is what this sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church will often refer to under their circus “big tent” […]

He asks a lot of questions in which, unless they’re rhetorical (meaning he believes the answer to them is obviously “no”), they never get answered.  The first chapter “What About the Flat Tire?” is a chapter full of such questions.  The first three pages contain much of what he said in the video.  He talks […]

Apprising Ministries has been blessed of Jesus to be used as one of His online apologetics and discernment works becoming known for its coverage of warped and toxic teachings of EC leaders like Emerging Church rock star pastor Rob Bell. Now before you get all up in arms about my using the phrase “warped and toxic,” keep in mind those […]

By Apprising Ministries special correspondent Rob Willmann of Rendering Truth.com On 2-27-2011, I preached the Sunday AM service at Berean Baptist Church in Mobile, AL where I pastor. I don’t normally preach sermons like this, but I was so agitated in my spirit by the Christian Universalism that’s being spread by the likes of Rob Bell […]

Love Wins is my first foray into the writings of Rob Bell…  I’ve always felt that I would have to read one of his books for myself before seriously engaging one of his followers.  Turns out, Love Wins, perhaps his most controversial book to date (based solely upon a promotional video on it), is that book… […]

As is so often the case, most of us first learned of Rob Bell’s new book by means of Justin Taylor and his blog, “Between Two Worlds,” at the Gospel Coalition. Justin reminds me of the steady folks at the National Hurricane Center. He is able to advise of looming disaster with amazing calmness. That […]
