WHAT JAY BAKKER WISHES THE BIBLE SAID ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY

Apprising Ministries has alerted you to a rather rapscallion bunch of largely biblically illiterate and self-described Outlaw Preachers (OP) who’ve come slithering up all around gay-affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker.

STRANGER AND STRANGER GLOBAL BEDFELLOWS EMERGING

Apprising Ministries has been warning you concerning the “big tent” version of Progressive Christianity [read: universalism] still being cobbled together by the likes of uber-liberal Harvey Cox along with his friend panentheist progressive/liberal theologian Dr. Philip Clayton, himself friends with Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren.
