Apprising Ministries has been laboring in articles like Roman Catholic Monasticism Begins With “Desert Fathers” to expose the actual origins of the corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as perpetrated by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster as so-called Spiritual Formation (SF) along with his friend and spiritual twin SBC minister Dallas Willard.

Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? (1 Corinthians 5:6, ESV) Romanticizing Rome It would appear so.

Apprising Ministries has long been warning that apostatizing pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism is paying a heavy price for its foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenial Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—which morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC).

Leadership Network (LN) has long pushed the […]
