Here at Apprising Ministries you’ve heard me talk about the devastating effects of the ill-fated Church Growth Movement ((Christian apologist Bob DeWay further elaborates upon this movement in Faulty Premises of the Church Growth Movement: Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, Donald McGavran, and C. Peter Wagner Mislead the Church.)) vomited out of the theological cesspool we know as Fuller […]

Here at Apprising Ministries I’ve told you before that Steven Furtick, who’s the spiritually nefarious prophet-leader of the highly influential multi-site megachurch known as Elevation Church, is without a doubt a leading member of a new Evangelical Ecumenical Magisterium (EEM). You’ve also likely seen me talk about how those who are succumbing to a growing charismania, such as […]

In J.I. Packer And Tim Keller Endorsing The Alpha Course here at Apprising Ministries, as far back as two years ago, I attempted to show you that the hyper-charismatic The Alpha Course (TAC)—marred by Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM)—is making another comeback within the mainstream of the visible church. Another example might be found in John Piper Approves Of The Alpha Course? There I […]

Since we came online at the end of August 2005 as one of the pioneers in the field of Internet apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been documenting The Falling Away Of The Evangelical Church. I’ve shown you that indicative of this growing apostasy is the increasing acceptance of Word Faith heretics as mainstream evangelicals, e.g.Cindy Trimm Receives […]

Apprising Ministries has talked much about growing apostasy within evangelicalism. Yet, that’s certainly not what you’ll hear from Seeker Driven prophet-leaders like Steven Furtick. We’re witnessing such as these beginning to work together more closely with General of the Seeker Driven Army Rick Warren as I showed you e.g.in Steven Furtuck Grows In Stature And Closer To […]

In Steven Furtick Grows In Stature And Closer To Word Faith Movement here at Apprising Ministries I reminded you of that prophet-leader’s affinity for Rod Parsley, an obviously over-the-top WF snake oil salesman. The fact is, Parsley’s really a very easily distinguished WF heretic along the order of the flamboyant “faith healer” Benny Hinn; but apparently not for ecumenical […]

Apprising Ministries has been pointing out for over two years now that there is unquestionably a growing syncretism of heretical Word Faith mythology slithering into the theology of apostatizing evangelicalism. For example, Joel Osteen Moving One Step Closer To Mainstream Evangelicalism, where Rick Warren is set to share the podium for the Hillsong Church Conference 2013 along […]

Apprising Ministries has laid out the theory that there appears to be a new emerging ecumenical magisterium (EEM) growing up around the Elephant Room (ER) of co-hosts James MacDonald and Mark Driscoll. In September of last year, while she was discussing the then up-coming R12 conference, CRN associate editor Erin Benziger actually gave us a peek at quite a […]

Apprising Ministries told you a couple of years ago that reputed modalist and Word Faith mogul “Bishop” T.D. Jakes, was fresh off his annual stint preaching for Southern Baptist pastor Ed Young, Jr when he was also a featured speaker for Bill Hybels and Willow Creek Church in 2010. ((http://www.willowcreek.com/ProdInfo.asp?invtid=PR34744, accessed 1-1-13.)) Remember, he was yet to have been mainstreamed at ER2 by James […]

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (2 Timothy 4:3,4) Contextualization Has Helped The Church Growth Movement To Even Infiltrate Reformed Sectors […]
