The Church Growth Movement a la Donald McGavran and C. Peter Wagner, which would slither out of Fuller Theological Seminary has led to pragmatism replacing Biblical teaching in scores of mainstream evangelical churches.

It’s led to untold numbers of false converts who think they’re Christians but have never been regenerated. Apprising Ministries now brings you a short teaching that concerns too many who call themselves “Christ-followers.” View article →

Mike Bickle Admits Catholic Contemplative Influence on IHOP-KC

John Lanagan of My Word Like Fire reports:

From the Office of Public Relations, Franciscan University of Steubenville, 11/9/12:

“The International House of Prayer (IHOP) was founded in 1999 by Mike Bickle, who says that many IHOP teachings draw upon the works of St. John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, as well as contemporary Catholics including Father Henri Nouwen and Father Thomas Dubay, SM. The IHOP 24 hour prayer room, he says, was inspired by the spiritual practices of Catholic European monks, such as St. Bernard of Clairvaux. ‘I’ve always had a passion for Catholic-Christian unity, and enthusiastically welcome this years Catholic track,’ says Bickle. ‘We may have different religious traditions, but we focus on fellowship, and unity and Jesus being glorified in prayer, worship, and teaching.’”

Controversial Pro-’Gay’ Evangelical Andrew Marin to Speak at Park Community Church in Chicago

Americans for Truth About Homosexualty reports on another example of compromise and liberal thought infiltrating the visible church:

Andrew Marin, the controversial founder and president of the Marin Foundation, is speaking next week at Park Community Church in Chicago. This is surprising in that from its website Park Community appears to be a theologically orthodox church.

Marin promotes himself as a bridge-builder between the Christian community and the homosexual community and has written a book on the subject titled Love is an Orientation. It is not Marin’s desire to reach the unsaved that is troubling. We should all seek to bring the good news of Christ’s redemptive work to those who identify as homosexual. Rather, it is his approach and his theology that generate controversy and trouble many Christians.

Exit Poll: 21% of Evangelical Voters Supported Barack Obama

Life News reports this disturbing news:

Exit polling data has shown the number of evangelical voters was higher in 2012 than in the 2008 election — in what should have been a good sign for the pro-life movement and GOP candidate Mitt Romney.

However, further analysis of the data shows that even though pro-abortion President Barack Obama lost among white evangelical Protestants and white Catholics, almost one-quarter of evangelicals voted for him despite his massive pro-abortion record.
