Apprising Ministries has been among those who have been warning of the semi-pelagianism within evangelicalism. This may even have been too kind because one could make a strong case that full blown pelagianism itself has slithered deep into the apostatizing American Christian Church. All the more reason we come to a Biblical understanding of the […]

It is interesting to speculate what the church would be like today if Martin Luther had been prone to compromise. The pressure was heavy on him to tone down his teaching, soften his message, stop poking his finger in the eye of the papacy. Even many of his friends and supporters urged Luther to come […]

Many appear to have arrived at their present eminence by pull, brass, nerve, gall and lucky accident… [T]he church also suffers from this evil notion. Christians have fallen into […]

Soon after apostolic times there came the old Roman rubbish, which in the end proved a worse hindrance to the gospel than all the errors which had preceded it.
