By Apprising Ministries correspondent Chrystal Whitt of Slaughter of the Sheep The heretical New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has been gaining steam, and the movers and shakers want to take over the world through their seven mountain, or seven spheres, of influence. When we watch people like Rick Joyner in action, we may be tempted to believe he is just […]

A main function of the online apologetics and discernment work here at Apprising Ministries is to alert you to developing trends within the visible church.

Apprising Ministries continues documenting the growing influence of Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) right into the timid heart of the squishy evanjellyfish pretending to be Protestant community. I’ve told you that the main catalyst for this spiritual skubalon is the Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin, Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard; both of whom teach the same spurious spirituality, which they’ve […]

These past few years this EC has been busy forging together its new form of postmodern liberal theology, a Liberalism 2.0 […]
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jun 5, 2010 in Current Issues, Leonard Sweet | Comments Off on WHO'S THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN AGAIN PHOENIX PREACHER?
In Phoenix Preacher Says “Enough” Of Alleged “ODMS” the other day I told you that pastor Michael Newnham aka Phoenix Preacher is angry that his friend, Emerging Church evangelical theologian Leonard Sweet has, we think, been “disinvited” to a conference which is to use a Calvary Chapel church’s facilities. And further pastor Newnham is especially disdainful of online apologetics and discernment […]
