New Podcast Coming… Help Name it.

There’s a new podcast coming, but I need your help to name it. There’s a new Christless Christianity DVD in it for whosoever’s suggestion I choose to use. (Please note that it’s only one person who’s going to get the DVD. “Whosoever” used in this sentence does not mean that everyone in [...]

Over at Wired4Truth Douglas K. Abu-Boahen begins this latest post concerning Rob Bell, the Elvis of the Emerging rebellion against Sola Scriptura:
In my last post, I posted Rob Bell’s words defending himself from those who he thinks do not like him. I don’t know Bell, so I can’t say I don’t like him – I don’t like [...]

All the sad details, complete with links within, at Apprising Ministries.

Todd Bentley Adulterer

Things have gone from bad to worse for Todd Bentley, ring leader of the so-called “Lakeland Revival / Florida Outpouring”. The Board of Directors for Fresh Fire Ministries has issued another statement regarding Bentley and this time they claim that nature of the current relationship that he has with his mistress is “adultery”.
According to [...]

Spontaneous Compassion

By Joni Earekson Tada
Bureaucracies aren’t programmed to be compassionate. It’s not in the nature of the thing. Take my friend, David Bowie, in his big, bulky wheelchair. After he became a quadriplegic in a car accident and his wife left him, he moved into a cramped one-room apartment and learned to rely on three or [...]

Todd Friel: Why the Emergents Are So Confused

Todd Friel discusses emergent confusion on the last ten minutes or so of his program (an episode from last November). If you thought Todd was all wet then, present happenings in emerging circles have vindicated his opinions. 
Note: the research Todd used in the last 10 minutes of his program was given him by a CRN [...]

Apprising Ministries shares a clip in this post from Way of the Master Radio where Todd Friel discusses the hermeneutics used by the Elvis of the Emergent rebellion against Sola Scriptura Rob Bell. Within he predicts it won’t be long before the answer will be yes to the question asked the other day at AM: Will Rob Bell Now Follow Tony [...]

Wanna know what Rob Bell, the Elvis of the Emergent cult of postliberalism is teaching your youth e.g. Saddleback Church Pastors Using Rob Bell Teachings? Well, for those not content to continue their impressions of Rip Van Winkle; and who instead, actually wish to wake up to what’s going on—right now—within mainstream evangelicalism this piece from Apprising Ministries will [...]

One has to admit that in addition to the Southern Baptist Saddleback Church Pastors Using Rob Bell Teachings it is a bit odd when an occult medium also sings the praises of Emerging Church icon and out of the closet teacher of Contemplative Sprituality/Mysticism pastor Rob Bell. Ingrid Schueter fills us in at Slice of Laodicea.

For those who missed it Lane Chaplin put together a You Tube presentation of a recent Crosstalk radio program with host Ingrid Schlueter and her guest Ken Silva. Apprising Ministries has this program concerning Rob Bell of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism in the Emerging Church.

Saddleback Church Pastors Using Rob Bell Teachings

Doug Fields is on staff as a teaching pastor at the Saddleback Church of Rick Warren and Josh Griffin is the High School Pastor. Apprising Ministries with the sad details of the continued penetration of the corrupt contemplative teachings of ecumenical Emerging Church icon Rob Bell into the apostatizing Southern Baptist Convention.

Lectio Divina Satirical Radio Sketch

Marty Python’s Flying Circus Church has just produced a satirical radio sketch that exposes the complete foolishness of Rob Bell’s Lectio Divina. Click Here to Listen.

More in this post concerning leader in the Emerging Church Spencer Burke at Apprising Ministries. And many universalists believe in Hell but have varying ways they then deal with it.

The Gods of Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving holiday is a popular time for interfaith celebrations. Various gods of the world’s religious systems are represented at these events. One has to wonder toward which god are the particpants expressing gratitude.
See a sampling of the ecumenical giving of thanks at the Watcher’s Lamp.

A Little Leaven is reporting that Rob Bell is now openly promoting the so-called spiritual practice of Lectio Divina. Bell has even gone so far as to link to documents explaining how to practice the Lectio Divina directly from the home page of the Mars Hill Church web-site.
Lectio Divina is a very dangerous practice that [...]

Rob Bell, Yoga for the Christian: Just Say No!

His sermon “I will say it again, and again, and again” on Sunday, November 16, 2008 leaves us no doubt that Emergent Church leader and icon Rob Bell continues his practice of the Contemplative/Centering Prayer at the heart of spiritually corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism.
In this piece Apprising Ministries says: Think Yoga can be separated from its Hindu context; think again.

Thanksgiving

O, let us give thanks to the Lord for He is exceedingly good to us. No person born of Adam deserves anything from Him except eternal judgment yet every person, whether they are a believer or not, receives from God His common grace. However, those who are in Christ should joyfully give thanks to Him [...]

Yes, you read that right; I do believe the time has come to rethink how we’re handling the issue of homosexuality in the Body of Christ. But maybe not like you think. More at Apprising Ministries.

The root of most heresies springs from those who profess Christ as Saviour, but who believe in various ways that what the Christian receives at Salvation is not sufficient. Something else must be added in order for the Christian to enter into a fuller relationship with God or to go deeper into the things of [...]

Apprising Ministries has been doing what we can bring to the attention of the Body of Christ a couple of important issues e.g in Emergent Church Theologian Tony Jones and his Unrepentant Homosexual Christians. The other issue which needs to be brought to light is one I touch on in the AM piece Dan Kimball and the Emergent Church Seeking Hard [...]

Joel Osteen is Lying

As you’ll see in this new post from Apprising Ministries, once again Joel Osteen is lying telling a reporter from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel – “the abundance he professes has nothing to do with money.” Osteen’s first clue that something is amiss would be his having to stand a little further back from the mirror [...]

So does leading theologian in the Emerging Church and influential evangelical teacher Brian McLaren, really think that God—through Muhammad—founded the idolatrous pagan religion of Islam, which denies the Deity of Christ Jesus?
Decide for yourself at Apprising Ministries with a quote from McLaren’s book Finding Our Way Again.

Who is it That Has Fellowship With Christ

Contrary to what most believe about Christianity, what one’s own framework is of their conception of salvation and having fellowship with Jesus Christ is irrelevant. Unless this ‘understanding’ is totally submitted to the Word of God and the authority of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit then it will be [...]

Mark Driscoll: Let’s Talk About Sex

“Porn-Again Christian” author and pastor Mark Driscoll seems to have a real burden for your bedroom. From Christian Today:
The Song of Songs is said to be the most erotic and exciting book in Scripture yet its contents are hardly preached on. When the book is taught in church, it is usually taught as an allegory, and [...]
