Finding a Vision for Your Church
The church is more than a building - it is an assembly of people joined together across distances and even through time to fulfill God’s purposes in the world. Each local gathering of that assembly needs a vision to help its members accomplish the work God has called them to do. But how do you inspire your church to create and follow through on a vision? Mike Milton provides tested, biblical ideas to get everyone in the church involved in a plan to help the congregation grow. Each chapter develops an awareness of what needs to be done, provides questions for review, and includes prayers by elders and ministers of churches that have put these ideas to use.
Map Addict
Maps not only show the world, they help it turn. On an average day, we will consult some form of map approximately a dozen times, often without even noticing: checking the A-Z, the road atlas or the Sat Nav, scanning the tube or bus map, a quick Google online or hours wasted flying over a virtual Earth, navigating a way around a shopping centre, watching the weather forecast, planning a walk or a trip, catching up on the news, booking a holiday or hotel. Maps pepper logos, advertisements, illustrations, books, web pages and newspaper and magazine articles: they are a cipher for every area of human existence. At a stroke, they convey precise information about topography, layout, history, politics and power. They are the unsung heroes of life: Map Addict sings their song. There are some fine, dry tomes out there about the history and development of cartography: this is not one of them. Map Addict mixes wry observation with hard fact and considerable research, unearthing the offbeat, the unusual and the downright pedantic in a celebrati on of all things maps.
What God Starts, God Completes
Do you live a fantasy life through big schemes and big plans? Or, do you excuse any responsibility for your life through what has happened to you? Either way you are not really living your life. In his early life, Mike Milton was written off by an uncaring society, in later life he wrote off others who did not match his business achievements. It was only when his life was exposed to a truer light that he discovered true life. So don't make the same mistakes - don't live to fake hopes : live to real ones!
Small Things, Big Things
“Where did you find God today?” This question from a pastor to his congregation is at the heart of these inspiring stories. Mike Milton takes you on a journey through experiences, events, relationships, and private recollections—all pursuing the goal of finding God’s grace at work in everyday life. Join him as these seemingly “small things” bring you a tear, a smile, and a renewed appreciation for God’s presence in your own life, as long as you are willing to look.
Authentic Christianity and the Life of Freedom
The churches of Galatia were occupied by legalism. They needed to be liberated. Bravely taking on false teachers like the allied forces took on the Nazis in the hedgerows, Paul assaults the religion of works and advances the gospel of freedom. Paul's letter to all of the churches in Galatia is an amazing marshaling forward of the powerful gospel truth in the strongest words possible in order to free the Galatians from the headlong course they were on--a course that was leading them back into bondage. In 'Authentic Christianity and the Life of Freedom', Michael Milton leads the reader through a study of the book of Galatians in order to locate the timeless truths that enable the believer to live a life of freedom in Christ and not be taken captive by false teachers. Retaining the live feel of an actual worship service at First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee, where these messages were first delivered, the reader can expect an appealing mixture of faithful Bible exposition, alert concern for the times in which we live, and heartfelt pastoral application to the lives of real people.
The Demands of Discipleship
The Book of Daniel is the place where prophecy and theology meet in a teenage boy named Daniel in captivity to a foreign king. Along with Daniel's friends, the reader comes face-to-face with the realities in his own life: -How a believer must live in times of apostasy; -How a believer may follow the Lord in the most secular of conditions; -How a follower of Christ can trust Christ even when it seems He is not in control; -How a disciple of Jesus can meet the demands of discipleship in the tough, hard places of life. In 'The Demands of Discipleship', Mike Milton leads the reader through a study of the book of Daniel as a divine guide to living for God in those times when it looks like God is nowhere to be found. Retaining the live feel of an actual worship service at First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee, where these messages were first delivered, the reader can expect an appealing mixture of faithful Bible exposition, alert concern for the times in which we live, and heartfelt pastoral application to the lives of real people. Each chapter concludes with questions for devotional study or for small groups.
Songs in the Night
“Always preach to broken hearts and you will never lack for a congregation,” an old saying goes. And for that reason, this book is for everyone—because there are many, many things that break our hearts. Sicknesses, spiritual depression, disabilities, painful memories, strained relationships... all of these weigh on Christians’ hearts at one time or another. And even when our hearts feel light, there is a longing that runs through us—a crying of the soul for eternity, for a new heavens and a new earth. Yet even in the midst of our heartache, we know there is a faith that comes from Jesus Christ that not only encourages us through our pain, but can even transform our pain... as long ...
Hit by Friendly Fire
It's called "friendly fire," but there is nothing friendly about it. To shoot one of your own is not only tragic but self-defeating. We are not describing the battlefield. We are talking about believers hurting other believers. Everyone in the Church knows of the walking wounded who are no longer in Christian community. That person might even be you. What can be done to cure such a visceral wound? Trusted pastor, theologian, author, composer, and retired Army Chaplain (Colonel) Michael A. Milton marshals forward a lifetime of Christian shepherding to diagnosis and apply the healing salve of the ruling motif of the Gospel for the cure of souls. In this new 2022 edition, Michael A. Milton uses Christ-centered theology presented in the tenderness of pastoral prose to carry the spiritually wounded to the paradoxical place of ultimate healing: the cross of Christ. This is one to read, to secure for loved ones, friends, your pastor, and classes. For any of us at any time can feel the searing pain of being hit by friendly fire.
