Apprising Ministries would have you know that in his letter to Saddleback Church concerning the King’s Way controversy Rick Warren chose, yet again, to attack veteran freelance reporter Jim Hinch.

However, this time Warren also made the dubious decision to try and impugn my character as well via an ad hominem. So, I encourage you to take a close look at the actual evidence within this new aritcle.

In my opinion, it simply does not add up with what Rick Warren is saying. View article →

Apprising Ministries reminds you that former Gospel Coalition member James MacDonald implies that the private conversation he’s having with T.D. Jakes indicates that Jakes is no longer a Word–Faith prosperity preacher.

You are encouraged to take a look at the evidence yourself and see that it just does not bear out that claim. View article →

CRN contributor Erin Benziger wonders if we’re seeing some sort of King’s Way Cover-up going on with Saddleback Church.

Apprising Ministries now gives you the opportunity to take a look at the Muslims view of this controversial document. In this new article we’ve recovered a post from The Islamic Center of Southern California.

The Guardian writes that ‘Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey are among the luminaries lending their egos to the Born This Way Foundation launch event at Harvard today’:

We’re getting set to live blog the launch event of the Born This Way Foundation, a youth empowerment project started by Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta. As youth outreach goes, this is way beyond after-school-special territory: BTWF is big. Oprah-big. Plus Harvard. Attending today’s launch at Harvard’s Sanders Theatre are Ladies Gaga and Winfrey; Deepak Chopra and the US health secretary, among other luminaries.

Participating in the foundation are Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the California Endowment.

Apprising Ministries continues to point out growing syncretism with the mainstream evangelical community in unparalleled ways.

The mainstreaming of Word Faith prosperity preachers, e,g, T.D. Jakes, opens the door for the next push, which will be for women pastors.

In this new well-documented article see just how close this is getting even to the ostensibly conservative SBC. View article →
