In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:12)  Rough Spiritual Waters Dead Ahead In many of our local fellowships on a given Sunday we could hear a congregation singing songs like […]

From the Crosstalk website: Recently, Bethel University in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, area held an interreligious symposium that was titled: Meditation–Buddhist and Christian: Is There Common Ground? Pastor Bob DeWaay of Twin City Fellowship appeared on Crosstalk to discuss this symposium, a gathering that sought to explore how much common ground there is in both […]

Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than truth itself. Irenaeus, […]

I’ve pointed out previously that as a general rule, and a courtesy, we do not publish email without the permission of the sender. However at the same time, all email sent to AM and Christian Research Network is considered the property of Apprising Ministries so we may indeed publish unsolicited email for the purposes of […]

The subtitle of this excellent article by pastor Bob DeWaay referenced below is: Defining the Believer’s Biblical Call to Judge. Those who wish to make a stand for proper Biblical Christianity will often be quoted verse 1 from Matthew 7 – Do not judge lest you be judged. However, as you’ll see in this important teaching from […]

 Following a tip from an Apprising Ministries reader we bring attention to Carmel Baptist Church (CBC) of Matthews, NC; an SBC church where Dr. Wayne Poplin is pastor, and which is affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina whom AM has discussed e.g. in Richard Foster Forming Protestant Southern Baptist Convention Spirituality. We initially find cause for concern at CBC under […]

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1, NASB) “Circle Up The Wagons Because We’re Heading Home To Romanticized Rome!” This is a short follow-up to the Apprising Ministries post to “The Way Of The Monk” At Tim Keller’s […]

An article over at Surph’s Side was brought to my attention where my friend Denise talks about something called The Way of the Monk being taught “at Tim Keller’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church” (Online source). The question I have to ask, as a former prisoner of the religious bondage of apostate Roman Catholicism, is why would a Presbyterian Church even want to expose […]

The following is  a transcript of a “teaching” by Phyllis Tickle presented May 3, 2009 at Mars Hill Bible Church where Emerging Church aka Emergent Church, now morphing into Emergence Christianity, leader Rob Bell is “teaching pastor.”  TICKLE: Good morning, Mars Hill. AUDIENCE: Good Morning. TICKLE: I can’t even begin to tell you how lovely it is to be back […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!    Apprising Ministries has long been pointing out that the kind of anti-Reformation foolishness described below by Larry DeBryun, pastor of Franklin Road Baptist Church, is right now metatitizing as a cancer throughout the apostatizing Southern Baptist Convention. Unfortunately pragmatism rules within the Slowly Becoming Catholic and it seems likely just a matter of time that […]
