BOB DEWAAY AND CHRIS ROSEBROUGH ON THE EMERGING CHURCH

We are blessed that the Lord chose to place Apprising Ministries among the leading labors against the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church de-formation of the Christian faith—now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC), which is a cult of a postliberalism swallowing up more and more of mainstream apostatizing evangelicalism—a Liberalism 2.0 as it were. Now with this in mind AM is […]
