DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!   Many man-centered pied pipers of pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism and the Emerging Church of Emergemce Christianity, which is thought to be the new reformation, continue a repudiation of Sola Scriptura in their sordid lust affair with spiritually corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism. A highly subjective spirituality that actually flowered within the antibiblical monastic traditions […]

Apprising Ministries has been researching the rejection of Sola Scriptura, in favor of highly subjective and existential Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, within the visible church for several years now. Developing as it has been into a veritable cult of contemplative spirituality it would certainly appear that the influence of Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster  continues spreading within mainstream evangelicalism, and even within Calvinist circles. For […]

In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. (2 Peter 2:3) Heaven To Protestant Evangelicalism: “Um, Have You Lost Your Mind!?” While we don’t always agree with everything espoused by some of the great […]

Unfortunately with no shortage of timid fellows in evangelical leadership positions today women like Ingrid Schlueter are really left with little choice than to continue to be “more man” than these other men. At Slice of Laodicea she tells it like it is regarding the Zondervan National Pastors Conference 2009. For example this year’s festival […]

Let us be perfectly clear here at Apprising Ministries; the idea of a deeper relationship with God is not wrong in and of itself. But it is the Lord Who draws us; we cannot “work” it up. And as I brought out in The Terminology Trap of “Spiritual Formation” what’s causing such a huge problem in the Body […]

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1, ESV) Non-Protesting Protestants Engaging In Revisionist History Of The Lord’s Reformation  Last time in Ravi Zacharias International Ministries Embracing Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) we began a look at the letter from Margaret Manning of RZIM and saw they are still equivocating with words in an ongoing […]

As we begin to follow up now on Ravi Zacharias International Ministries Contunues Asserting Henri Nouwen A Great Christian Saint, for more background, I refer new people who are just discovering this issue to that post and to those which are listed below. But what’s important to keep in mind here is that I happen to be one whom God, in […]

Great Saints Entrenched In Apostasy And Teaching Counter Reformation Spirituality Apprising Ministries now continues our look at some of the issues raised in a letter from the ministry of Ravi Zacharias that was sent to us by an AM reader where RZIM firmly defends a statement by Zacharias where he emphatically states, ““One of the greatest saints of recent memory was Henri Nouwen.” For […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20, ESV) A Ball Of Confusion; That’s What The Church Is Today That state of the visible church in the evangelical community is really rather pitiful indeed; and, there’s just no easy way to say […]

Saddleback Church Pastors Using Rob Bell Teachings here at Apprising Ministries clearly showed that Emerging Church icon and teacher of corrupt Contemplative Sprituality/Mysticism (CSM) Rob Bell has penetrated deeply into the mainstream of the evangelical community. So far so that Bell’s weekly sermons are recommended, and his Nooma DVDs sold, by pastors of the highly influential Saddleback Church (SC) of Rick Warren, which is aligned with the […]
