A dazzling array of socialists, heretics, and assorted mystic warriors has signed on to a letter urging passage of the abortion-funding health care bill. They call themselves “evangelicals”, apparently the term du jour for anyone with crackpot religious views and a fondness for the economic...

Much is happening in the emergent church world these days. To stay on top of what is happening is a challenge. Tony Jones is the poster boy for the new “progressive” churches (the new term for emergent), and he recently hosted a conference called “Theology After Google.” In Tony...

The last shreds of emergent leader Brian McLaren’s sheep costume have been torn away. The fangs are beginning to show. He’s not progressive, he’s not new–his material is extremely old. It goes all the way back to the Garden when Satan first questioned what God had said. McLaren’s...

If there was any doubt left in anyone’s mind that emerging church leader Doug Pagitt is an enemy of the cross of Christ, his recent interview with John Shelby Spong should remove it. For an overview of what arch-heretic Spong believes, click here. Those in Christian discernment ministries have...

Evangelicals have avoided doctrinal teaching from the Bible in favor of life-enhancement sermons where Scriptures are ripped out of context and used as a proof text for whatever...

Emergent author and teacher, Brian McLaren, is offended because a The Daily Kos has questioned whether “evangelicals” belong in the Democratic party at all. McLaren has been trying to make inroads for “evangelicals” with the Democrats because he doesn’t think Christians...

I predict the emerging church will not last another 10 years, if that, and it may be in its death-throes already. It will be replaced by another heresy more exciting and more contemporary. That’s the nature of lies–they always breed new lies to keep pace with the times. Rob Bell, Brian McLaren,...
