As you may know Apprising Ministries is part of an ongoing “conversation” of loosely-aligned communities concerning online apologetics and discernment ministry, which is much too broad to adequately define. One of the areas I cover is the Emerging Church, a neo-liberal cult that’s developed within evangelicalism, which claims its “big tent” Progressive Christianity is the historic Gospel […]

The neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church is continuing to morph and develop its “big tent” version of Progressive Christianity [read: universalism], which is still being cobbled together by the likes of uber-liberal theologian Harvey Cox along with his friend panentheist progressive/liberal theologian Dr. Philip Clayton. Dr. Clayton is himself friends with Emerging Church guru […]

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.

The document can be traced back through Southern Baptist ecumenicist Chuck […]

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20, ESV) Tolerance But For Their Own Beliefs As one who is a pastor-teacher I’m presenting this piece here at the online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries for your […]

Apprising Ministries has long been covering the drift of Rob Bell, the rock star Elvis of the Emerging Church with its new version of Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity. And in pieces like Through Rob Bell “The Great Enlightened Ones” Tell Us Man Has Divine Greatness and Rob Bell And Shane Hipps Teaching Mysticism I’ve clearly documented his fall into […]

In prior pieces such as Samir Selmanovic: God Is Father Of All Religion and Samir Selmanovic And Being Unable To Follow Jesus Without Islam here at Apprising Ministries I’ve introduced you  Samir Selamnovic, an up-and-coming ear-tickler within sinfully ecumenical Emerging Church circles. In fact, in Richard Rohr And The Emerging Church As The Third Way I showed you that Selmanovic […]

Apprising Ministries draws your attention to Is the meaning of Easter being lost? by Kate Shellnutt of the Houston Chronicle where she reminds us of a couple of sad facts.
