An Evaluation Of Wayne Grudem’s View Of NT Prophecy

As contemplative mysticism becomes the norm within mainstream evangelicalism we’re witnessing more acceptance of hyper-charismaticism.

To help you prepare for an increase of people claiming a “word from God,” Apprising Ministries brings you an in-depth look at a critical charismatic subject well-illustrated by a respected theologian [known for his work on the nature of New Testament prophecy.] – Ken Silva, 2012

By Steven Kring

Simply stated, a prophet is someone who speaks the words of another.  Consider Moses and Aaron.  When Moses complained about being slow of speech and slow of tongue, this is what God said with reference to Aaron, “Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth.  And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.  So he shall  be your spokesman to the people.  And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God…So the Lord said to Moses:  See, I have made you as God to Pharoah, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.” (Ex. 4:157:1).

Aaron was Moses’ “prophet”.  He spoke Moses’ words to Pharoah.  Therefore, when anyone is the Lords’ prophet, he must be someone who speaks the word of the Lord to the people.  As we read in Deut. 18:18, “I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.”  A true prophet, therefore, speaks the pure word of God with divine authority.

Liberals and Conservatives are Not ‘Equal But Opposite’ Evils

(The Dissenter) “Yes, Democrats are evil, but Republicans…” I always hear the David French types, the Phil Vischer types, the JD Greear types, attempt to argue that Republicans are some kind of “opposite” evil from Democrats. These center-leftists, for lack of a better term, will often concede that the left has gone too far with its embrace of abortion on demand or LGBTQ ideology. But then they attempt to equalize it by turning it back on conservatives.

“Republicans are racist…” “Trump hates women…” “Christians hate immigrants…” “Right-wingers idolize guns…”

Blah, blah, blah. Continue reading

James Talarico and the PCUSA Exposed

(Crystal Rose Wilson) James White offers a critical examination of James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, focusing on his controversial theological and political viewpoints, particularly in relation to the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. – slide the bar to 3:30.

Key points of the discussion include:

Critique of PCUSA and Seminaries (3:30-12:37): James White argues that Talarico’s views exemplify the liberal trajectory of the PCUSA, especially in its seminaries, which are accused of denying the authority of scripture (7:05-7:10) and not engaging with conservative arguments (8:43-8:50).

What it takes to Blaspheme against the Holy Spirit

28 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” Mark 3:28-30 (LSB) 

I am sure most of those reading this have at one time or another become concerned to some degree that they had committed the unpardonable sin. Several people who I have witnessed to have told me that they couldn’t be saved because they had blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Let’s look at the passage from the book of Matthew that parallels the one I placed at the top of this post. Continue reading

NOTE TO TALARICO: God Is NOT ‘Nonbinary’

“A “nonbinary” gender identity is neither male nor female, but rather a rejection of the notion that humans are male or female. In other words, it’s a direct rejection of the clear biblical teaching that human beings are male and female.”

(Tyler O’Neil – The Daily Signal) If you’re going to claim that God supports transgender ideology, you might want to think twice before rejecting his preferred pronoun.

The latest star of the “Religious Left” has claimed not only that Christianity is compatible with the idea that men can become women and vice versa, but that God himself is “nonbinary.” Continue reading

Tim Tebow Gives Powerful Testimony In Congress Regarding CSAM

“Look at the map. 338,000+ red dots. Unique IP addresses trading, distributing, and sharing child sexual abuse material… children under 12.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) In a powerful Senate hearing on March 4, 2026, former NFL quarterback and philanthropist Tim Tebow delivered a stark warning about the escalating crisis of online child sexual exploitation. Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, Tebow presented compelling evidence to advocate for the Renewed Hope Act of 2026, a bill aimed at bolstering federal efforts to identify and rescue vulnerable children from abuse.

Stir Up the Gift of God

13 Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift within you, which was given to you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the council of elders. 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. 16 Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. 1 Timothy 4:13-16 (LSB) 

The way the gospel is presented in our time is backward. It is focused incorrectly. Instead of focusing on what God has done for us who have nothing in and of ourselves to warrant it; the way the gospel is given ever since I can remember is to attempt to make it appealing as if people should decide to try Jesus for 30 or 60 days to see if He makes a difference….

If This Is True, the DNC Has a Moral Earthquake Coming

(David Manney – PJ Media) Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem testified that the Biden administration funneled cash to sponsors who trafficked and abused unaccompanied migrant children

Federal dollars poured through the Department of Health and Human Services right into the pockets of adults escaping screening, meaning many of those people ended up as outright predators.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement dumped kids into homes without solid background checks, skipped consistent DNA testing, and ignored follow-ups that could’ve kept them safe. Nearly 450,000 kids cycled through the system, many of whom disappeared after sloppy placements. Continue reading

Worshiped as God: The Secret Cult Behind the NAR

…NAR, the New Apostolic Reformation. … It is like Grape Nuts – it’s not grapes and it’s not nuts. It’s like Christian Science – it’s not Christian and it’s not scientific. Well, the New Apostolic Reformation isn’t new, it isn’t apostolic, and it isn’t a reformation. But it is a rapidly expanding movement being generated by some of the same old troubling false teachers and false leaders that have been around in Charismania for decades, always dishonoring the Holy Spirit, always dishonoring the Scripture, always claiming miracle signs, wonders, visions, dreams. ~ John MacArthur Continue reading

How To Stay Sane And Not Look Stupid When Talking About The Iran War

“Everyone, not just media and intel agencies, has an agenda. And many of those people will use the current thing to advance their agenda however possible. There are a lot of NeverTrumpers eager to see a foreign conflict fail and derail his presidency, the midterms, and the 2028 election. There are a lot of war hawks determined to feed the military industrial complex at any cost. And there are a lot of people who will say anything for clicks and for the payout that often comes with them.”

(Elle Purnell – The Federalist) When President Donald Trump sent U.S. special forces into Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolás Maduro, it was immediately hailed by some as a brilliant act of international 4-D chess regarding oil/China/immigration and condemned just as quickly by others as a needless excursion into regime-change territory….

Trump Hits Back at Megyn and Tucker

“This last item is only tangentially related since Trump either wisely chose to ignore it, or — better yet — is unaware that it happened. The “it” in this case is Candace Owens doing her Candace Owens thing once again.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Part-time Hitler apologist Tucker Carlson and gal pal Megyn Kelly used their shrinking-to-nonexistent MAGA credentials to question Operation Epic Fury, but President Donald Trump is having none of it from either of them.

Speaking to author and big media alum Rachel Bade on the phone yesterday, Trump suggested that Kelly “outta study her history book a little bit,” and that Tucker’s criticism “has no impact on me.” Continue reading

The source of Christian assurance is God Himself

17 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight, and I have known you by name.” 18 Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” 19 And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” Exodus 33:17-23 (LSB) Read verses 21-23 on the site.

The passage above takes place after Israel’s idolatry with the golden calf (Exodus 32). Moses is seeking assurance from God that He would not utterly destroy Israel but would go with the people and remain with them to continue to make them a set apart people from other nations (Exodus 33:12-16)….

Iran war: World War III or the smartest military move ever?

(Revolver) These days, whenever the United States gets pulled into military tension, especially in the Middle East, the same fear starts flying all over social media: WW3.

It is happening again now. The chatter is loud, and the panic is palpable. But if you take a step back and look at the global chessboard, you can see that WW3 isn’t going to happen.

Granted, there are no guarantees in life, love, or war. And any military conflict in that region carries risk, so Americans have every right to be wary, especially after the long, grinding disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan. Continue reading

The Sin We Ignore, and Why it Matters

(Diane Woerner – TruthScript) There are many sins of the tongue—gossip, slander, swearing, coarse joking—but one sin may be even more displeasing to God than these: the sin of complaining.

Complaining and grumbling are mentioned nearly fifty times in Scripture, and it’s never a positive thing. Consider the story in Numbers 11. The Israelites had been freed from Egyptian slavery and were now journeying through the desert toward the land God had promised them. But after perhaps months of eating nothing but the miraculous manna God provided, they were getting tired of it. Continue reading

False Prophecy as a Path to Riches, Part 2: Targeting Wealthy Donors

(Barry Bowen – The Trinity Foundation) It rarely gets media attention, but for decades so-called prophets have targeted wealthy individuals with personalized prophecies for the purpose of obtaining lucrative donations.

We’ve collected several examples below.

This corrupt practice was discussed in Bible teacher Mike Winger’s recent exposé of Shawn Bolz.

Mike Winger: “I’m going to call them Bob and Sally…Bob and Sally were a couple that was very well off, and they had the beginnings of this business that was skyrocketing, like you know, crazy, crazy money…. Continue reading

Evil Under Attack

BILL’S UPDATE BELOW

(Bill O’Reilly) The propaganda is flying along with ordnance from the USA and Israel.  The world waits as strong military action against Iran plays out.  The Ayatollah is already conferring in person with Allah, and things will not end well for the other murderous Mullahs.  As for America, we just don’t know.

It was good to see Canada back President Trump’s order to strike. I hope that leads to a better relationship between the two countries.  As usual, France and Great Britain equivocate.  Nothing new there. Continue reading

A Journey into the truth

Before God opened my Heart to the truth about the doctrines of grace, I always assumed that I was saved because I decided to commit myself to Christ and accept Him as Lord and savior. Along with that, I also assumed that God rewarded that decision by saving me by the new birth. In other words, I was Born Again because I chose to believe. I mean, after all, don’t we have to choose to be saved? Don’t we preach that sinners must take that first step? If we take the first step then the savior will take the rest, etc. I believed that was how Christians became Christians for most of my life.

About 40 years ago, I was teaching a Sunday school class made up of 9th and 10th grade boys. I cannot remember what the lesson was about, but for some reason we were discussing salvation…. Continue reading

Is The Cost of Following Jesus worth it?

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes of people about him, he commanded them to go over the water. 19 Then came there a certain Scribe, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 But Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of man hath not whereon to rest his head. 21 ¶ And another of his disciples said unto him, Master, suffer me first to go, and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury the dead. Matthew 8:18-22 (1599 Geneva Bible)

For the Christian, this life is a test as well as a proving ground in which God grows and matures those who belong to Him through pruning and removing what is not of Him in order that the believer will be humbled and, therefore, enter deeper into the process of becoming more Christlike….

Bethel’s ‘culture of honor’ is a prettier name for culture of idolatry

“When we discover that our admired leaders have been covering for abusers (or have been abusers themselves), here’s the question we face: Shouldn’t we be more concerned about the sheep who’ve been wounded than with the shepherds who let the wolves in—or worse, who are wolves themselves? It appears that the “culture of honor” functionally means that every leader has so much potential good in them that they can never be held accountable or face any significant consequences for sin, no matter how reprehensible.”

(Susanne Maynes – Voices) I’ve never attended Bethel Church or their school of ministry, and I’ve only listened to a handful of sermons by Bill Johnson. However, as a lifelong Pentecostal/charismatic, I’m aware that Bethel’s influence has saturated charismatic culture for decades.

One concept Bethel promotes is creating and maintaining a “culture of honor.” This sounds like a beautiful and biblical idea, since human beings should honor one another as image bearers of God — but what does it really mean? Continue reading

Shark Tank darling and anti-Trump LGBTQ radical just indicted on child porn charges…

“Utah gay Trump Derangement Syndrome-afflicted Bernie Sanders Democrat charged in Federal child porn case. Robert “Bobby” Edwards, the creepy Squatty Potty millionaire founder pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail after a grand jury indictment.”

(Revolver) There’s a disturbing pattern that keeps popping up in American public life. Have you noticed that time and again, the loudest voices screaming about how awful and immoral President Trump is turn out to have very serious skeletons rattling around in their own closets?… Continue reading

Did Trump Just Take Out Iran’s Supreme Leader?

The answer is yes. Read the report below.

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) President Donald Trump announced early Saturday morning that the United States and Israel launched massive joint air strikes against the Iranian regime.

The Times of Israel reports that Israeli intelligence is now assessing that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the longtime puppet master of the world’s biggest terror state, was likely killed in the strike on his compound in Tehran. However, there has been no confirmation yet. Continue reading

Salvation Garments

1 Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your glorious garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you. 2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 3 For thus says Yahweh, “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.” Isaiah 52:1-3 (LSB) 

The way many look at our salvation it is as if they believe that it is a work of some kind. The cry to put on strength and beautiful garments is seen as a new believer putting on something they already have. However, in Isaiah 52:1-3 we see that those being saved were in bonds. They were in a captivity into which they were not sold, but they were redeemed without money. From where does their strength and beautiful garments come? Continue reading

Candace Owens: The Persecutor

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Candace Owens, the supposedly right-wing Christian political commentator and podcaster, has been spouting off increasingly wild conspiracies of late. Drunk with the attention she received from her slanderous accusations against French First Lady Brigitte Macron, she pounced on her next opportunity to destroy someone for her own gain.

With each passing day, it becomes increasingly clear why Owens is no longer welcome at outfits like The Daily Wire. Continue reading

Paula White Makes Disturbing Pitch For $100K: ‘I’m not gonna lay hands on people till you’re obedient’

“There’s only three envelopes. I’m not moving, I’m not gonna lay hands on people till you’re obedient. Get out of your seat, come on and come bring up a seed, come bring up a seed, come bring up a seed.”

(Protestia) Paula White-Cain is the prosperity preaching, head pastor of City of Destiny Church and one of President Donald Trump’s spiritual advisors [and leader of the White House Faith Office]. Continue reading
