Unfortunately the answer to that question will be tied up in the “Yea, hath God said” (see–Genesis 3:2) nebulous relativism of so-called “postmodernism” where words magically morph into whatever one wants them to mean. And as with Emerging icon Rob Bell a main reason why Emerging Church pastor Dan Kimball is actually quite dangerous to [...]

This is the year where we as solid bible believing Christians are going to start seeing the intolerance grow towards us more and more. Can you guess where the majority of these attacks will come from? The mainstream churches. One of the most surprising predictions was made several decades ago by one of my favorite [...]

Whenever I hear Emerging Church pastor Dan Kimball it seems as if he doesn’t know that a Christian apologist is one who contends for and defends the faith. He is not one who goes around whining and apologizing for the doctrines of historic Christianity. Here we take a closer look at some of the things [...]

Watcher’s Lamp takes a look at the origins of the Roman Catholic observance of Ash Wednesday and highlights the emerging and purpose driven affection for the Roman Catholic ritual… Pope Urban II called for the general use of ashes on that day. Only later did this day come to be called Ash Wednesday.  Fast forward [...]

Last year Dan Kimball, a leading spokesmen in the man-centered emerging church came out with a book called They Like Jesus But Not The Church. However, a more realistic title would have been They Like The Jesus Of Their Choice But Not His Doctrine. Reforming a quote from his book in this new piece over [...]

Lighthouse Trails has this review of a recent book by Dan Kimball a well known pastor in the emerging church. See also: Emergent Church: "Does Dan Kimball Preach A Perverted Gospel?" A Different Gospel in the Emerging Church and the New Evangelicalism?

Following on the heels of the posts Rob Bell: The gods Should Be Angry and Christianity & Liberalism is the following from my friend Dr. Ron Gleason, aka "Rattlesnake 6, a former tank commander and instructor in the US Army Armor School at Ft. Knox, KY."   The Lord be praised for bold men and pastor-teachers like Dr. Gleason [...]

WARNING: Very Offensive Language Ahead!!! The growing rebellion against holiness within evangelicalism is courtesy of the emerging church movement and the new breed new evangelicalism. Apparently this post over at Be The Revolution from David Fisher, "pastor" of Revolution: Church Undressed and who urges us "Leave Your Mark–Get Naked," is what passes for post-modern sort of-humor. Although anyone who has dialogued with Emergents [...]

Willow Creek’s "Shift" Youth Conference 2008 features the emergent & mystical… Keynote speaker Brian McLaren delivers his message "Everything Must Change". Mark Yaconelli , Scot McKnight,  Dan Kimball and others will also  present. The Shift blog features two videos from Brian McLaren, and a video on Contemplative Youth Ministry from Mark Yaconelli of Youth Ministry [...]

Berit Kjos of Kjos Ministries connects the dots over a span of 50+ years revealing more of the roots of the growing ecumenical, political and mystical vortex in the church today.  Terms such as "rethink", "reinvent" and "reimagine" are red flags carried by Erwin McManus, Brian McClaren and others, detracting from the truth of the Scriptures.  Regarding [...]

Mark Driscoll says "Shame On You" to North Carolina State Baptist Convention for inviting Doug Pagitt to speak at the Wired Conference in October. Driscoll describes Pagitt’s theology as pagan in his presentation to the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary . Listen to the audio clips of Mark Driscoll describing the leaders and the error of [...]

It seems that Doug Pagitt of the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church, in addition to attacking Dr. John MacArthur and saying he preaches a “perverted” Gospel, was asked to preach yesterday at Mars Hill Bible Church. This is from a member in covenant relation with MHBC; ah, that’s a member for those of us [...]

I actually began to cover this issue some time ago in Emergent Church: Dan Kimball Is Not Thoroughly Orthodox. And recently I am on record as having said that there is an impassible chasm between men like me who proclaim the Gospel to unbelievers and men like Dan Kimball who want to talk about it with [...]

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." (Revelation 3:20) Now ask yourself: According to the Bible, Who is Jesus actually talking to in the text, and where is He? Christian [...]

Pastor Eric, over at What We Have Here Is, shares his opinion about this recent work by a pastor in the emerging church: Not only is this the title of Dan Kimball’s latest book, this is an oft stated finger wagging chastisement of the church. The subtitle to Kimball’s book says: "Insights from emerging generations." But I’m [...]

This year’s contemplative and mystical Youth Specialties convention includes a number of speakers from Purpose Driven-Saddleback Church, Seeker Sensitive-Willow Creek and the Emergent church movement.  Such a convergence reveals the rampant pursuit of Eastern and Catholic mysticism in modern evangelicalism… Watcher’s Lamp has the details.

Over at Pyromaniacs Phil Johnson writes: Well, I did finally manage to connect with Dan Kimball by phone early this week, and I had a 2-hour conversation with him… I will say that although Dan was obviously quite busy, he was friendly and didn’t sound rushed. He’s a good, thoughtful listener… But the conversation, while [...]

In his emerging sinner sensitive treatise They Like [A] Jesus But Not The Church Emergent Church Pastor Dan Kimball opines about the sin of homosexuality. Kimball says, “Because this is such a huge issue in our culture,…we can no longer just regurgitate what we have been taught about homosexuality” (137). In this feature article from Apprising Ministries [...]

Phil Johnson of Pyromaniacs says in his post A Brief Update on the Kimball conundrum that he hasn’t forgotten about writing further about issues raised in a previous post on Kimball. He points out, “Kimball asked for a private conversation before I post my final comments on the matter.” Johnson then explains that both of their schedules conflict so [...]
