Townhall is carring a piece today by Micah Carter of Baptist Press, which is a pretty good microcosm of the state of the man-centered church visible today: LifeWay Christian Resources set forth a theme of hope in its annual report to the Southern Baptist Convention as president and CEO Thom Rainer highlighted the “Transformational Church” […]

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. (2 Peter 2:1) It’s pretty obvious that if God had wanted us all to live in the false kind of […]

…and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:2, ESV) Since When Has Contemplative Spirituality Been Reformed Doctrine? In posts such as Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism? and Calvinist Contemplative/Centering Prayer? here at Apprising Ministries I’ve shared some concern about this […]

If you think the video below here at Apprising Ministries is a service at a church that’s with the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church; you’d be wrong. This video is from the Vimeo page of  New Life Fellowship Roman Catholic Church where Peter Scazzero is pastor/spiritual director/priest. You may recall from Contemplative Spirituality Catalyst Peter Scazzero I […]

In posts like Monvee To Open Door For Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism In Evangelicalism and Contemplative Spirituality Of Richard Foster Rooted In The Eastern Desert And Thomas Merton here at Apprising Ministries, I’ve been following a trail blazed by Lighthouse Trails Research, and have long been exposing the dangers of the new fad in apostatizing evangelicalism of practicing corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). By […]

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. It’s beyond question this spurious CSM is nothing more than refried Roman […]

They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with pagans. (Isaiah 2:6) I’ll Worship My Own Way! Apprising Ministries continues doing what we can to alert spiritually obtuse pretending to be Protestant evangelicals to the grave dangers and deceptions of embracing the Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) perpetrated by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster as […]

In Rick Warren And Peter Scazzero Up To Monk-ee Business earlier at Apprising Ministries I told you Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren has conference called Radicalis that’s set to begin next Tuesday February 9 at Saddleback Church. Radicalis now features Dr. Ed Stetzer along with his Acts 29 cohort Mark Driscoll, Perry Noble, Kerry Shook, and Andy Stanley; I […]

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. (1 John 2:19) Back To The Dark Ages Apprising Ministries is glad to see in 9 Marks: Intervarsity […]

 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). The EC was a Trojan Horse that unloaded corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster—and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard—within […]
