Apprising Ministries has been among the online apologetics and discernment ministries covering Piper-Warrengate. It all began when Dr. John Piper made the dubious decision to feature Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren, with his quite elastic orthodoxy and twistable multi-tranlation Play-Doh Bible, as a keynote speaker at the DG 2010 conference Think: The Life of the Mind & the Love of God. […]

Free and warm reception into the divine favor is the strongest of all motives in leading a man to seek conformity to Him who has thus freely forgiven him all trespasses… [But t]he tendency of the present day is to underestimate sin and to misunderstand its nature. From the Cross of Christ men strike out […]
