During our coverage of The Emerging Church Pro-Homosexual Agenda I’ve told you that someone like apostate gay-affriming “pastor” Jay Bakker is tip-of-the-spear for the growing push for its advancement within the mainstream of the visible church. You’ll see such as these more aggressively arguing for acceptance within evangelicalism that the deviant and sinful lifestyle of having sexual relations with another of the […]

A few days ago in the Apprising Ministries piece The Emerging Church Wild Goose Chase 2012 I reminded you that, far from dead, the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church has upgraded to the Emerging Church 2.0. In his book A New Kind Of Christianity Living Spiritual Teacher and EC guru Brian McLaren actually revealed the EC’s “big tent” postmodern Progressive Christianity, which they now refer to as Emergence […]

As I told you recently in the Apprising Ministries piece Emergent Monastic Communities, Apprising Ministries, and A Wild Goose Chase the neo-liberal cult openly operating within the Emerging Church aka the Emergent Church would end up acting like a Trojan Horse when evangelicalism brought it inside its walls. Unfortunately it unloaded the corrupt Counter Reformation Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), such as that spread by […]

Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? (1 Corinthians 5:6) From Adding It Through These Past Few Years Contemporary Evangelicalism Is Full Of Leaven Being in online apologetics and discernment work along the Internet front Apprising Ministries has pointed out that a part of our labor in the Lord is the documenting of the painfully […]

Audience member: My wife and I have two wonderful sons and two daughters. And one son’s at Southern Seminary and he’s kind of mildly, you know, thinking there’s good in the seeker-friendly movement—some of it—and my other son’s totally hostile to it, and I’m caught in the middle. And I was talking to somebody who is very […]

I begin this piece here at Apprising Ministries by pointing you to yet another illustration of the type of syncretism slithering into contemporary evangelicalism right now because it chose to open its arms to the neo-liberal cult openly operating within the Emerging Church aka the Emergent Church. For you see, this was the Trojan Horse […]

This is a repost of an original article on Sola Sisters Dear Mr. Challies, As you may or may not know, we recently posted an article in which we commended your book review of Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts. And then today, a reader forwarded your most recent post, entitled In Which I Ask Ann Voskamp’s Forgiveness…, an article […]

Apprising Ministries has been warning about, and documenting, the sad slide of largely pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism into becoming what I’ve referred to as The Ecumenical Church Of Deceit (ECoD); and much of the current sorry state of the church visible can be traced back through to the semi-pelagian (at best) man-centered Church Growth Movement birthed out of Fuller […]

This was brought to my attention today at Apprising Ministries by Christian Research Network Contributor Christine Pack of Sola Sisters. I find this may 28, 2008 post to be a rather odd one by the New Calvinist mentor. In How A Roman Catholic Anti-Calvinist Can Serve Today’s Poet-Calvinists Dr. Piper writes: May 29 is G. K. Chesterton’s 134th […]
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on May 17, 2012 in Current Issues, Emergence Christianity, Emergent Church, Features | Comments Off on PANENTHEISM! WHAT IS THAT?
By Dr. Orrel Steincamp, republished with permission Have you ever heard of “panentheism”? It sounds a lot like pantheism but there are those two additional letters “en” inserted after “pan.” The word broken into its constitute parts is pan=all, en= in, and theos= God. Panentheism is the belief the universe is contained within God and […]
