All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, NASB) Thus Saith God; Or, The Human Authors Of Scripture? Often in discussions today e.g. with outlaw preachers like Jay Bakker—affirming that practicing homosexuality is not always […]

The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him. (Proverbs 18:17, NASB) We Can Be Protestant Evangelicals Not Believing What Protestant Evangelicals Believe Apprising Ministries has asserted all along that at its rotten root the postliberal cult of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) is an attack […]

As you’ll see in Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention entire state SBC conventions e.g. North Carolina are openly using teachings from Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. Under under Discipleship Resources of the State Board of […]

Many already know that Christian Research Net, a sister online apologetics and discernment ministry to Apprising Ministries, has a “shadow” blog where some self-appointed watchdogs just took it upon themselves to “monitor” i.e. criticize CRN, even going so far as to call themselves CRN.Info and Analysis.

Rob Bell and the other pastors at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan have some serious explaining to do and need to repent, big time, for the rank heresy that’s been spewing from their pulpit lately. First it was Phyllis Tickle preaching on the “feminine attributes” of the Holy Spirit and waxing eloquent […]

I’ve […]
