Praise for #MTPGA: 12 Things Christians Can Do Right Now
“The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.”
—A. W. Tozer
In an age of information overload and the ability to conduct deep research into the Word of God with a push of a button, the modern Church is suffering from spiritual malnutrition. This spiritual phenomenon was not created by an absence of preaching. Rather, it has manifested in our generation through the preaching of another gospel and the pseudo-spiritual cotton candy of the Laodicean Church. In Dr. Michael Spaulding’s new book, he releases a clarion call for those engaged in the holy task of ministering the Word to return to biblicity. For the Church to thrive in the days ahead, it must be continually fed with both the milk and meat of the Word. It is time for all of us to throw off our sugar addiction to the pablum of Babylon and make the preaching great again!

“America is in a Code Blue Moral and Spiritual Crisis. Christians and conservatives can point their fingers at the liberal left all they want. But ultimately, our crisis is a crisis of faith and obedience to God that only the Remnant Body of Christ can reverse. Pastor Mike Spaulding has provided not only an urgent call to action but, more importantly, a clear and concise template to make the pulpit great again! This book should be required reading for every pastor in America!”
Gregg Jackson, national bestselling author of 40 Rules to Help Boys Become Men, 40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die, & Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies.
“My brother in Christ Dr. Mike Spaulding is quite simply a brilliant good man and a man of God. He has a heart and vision to see significant changes happen in these last days within the modern church to help guide her out of the ditch and back onto the narrow path of holiness. He wants to see the church experience the presence of God speaking through his under shepherds from the pulpits, instead of hearing from those popular type motivational speakers disguised as pastors who today can give an entire sermon without even mentioning the Lord Jesus/Yeshua and the Holy Scriptures.
Let’s face it friends, you can draw a large crowd if you simply keep them entertained and tell them what they want to hear today instead of what they really need to hear. As a former recording artist for a Major secular label believe me when I tell you I know how the entertainment industry is able to use witchcraft and manipulation to create and sell you a “star” with all its smoke, lights and mirrors. Seriously we don’t need any stars in the pulpits to build a bigger church building and go after those tithes and offerings. The God we serve is not short on cash; rather it appears He is short on obedient spirit-filled true believers. The harvest is plenty and the workers few. Today there are actually organizations that for a nominal fee shall help you grow a big church, much like the GMO’s, genetically modified organism. It is extremely dangerous and harmful to eat anything that is a genetically modified organism just as it is to dine on any genetically modified Words of God.”

I was told recently that during the American War of Independence there was a Regiment that the British feared the most. They regularly made an appearance particularly on a Sunday and they were the preachers who preached from the bible who stood on the word of God to encourage the members of their congregations, in their fight against King George – no Taxation without representation.
The echoes of the past ring loudly in our ears on both sides of the pond, Brexit in the UK and the election of President Donald J Trump has revealed division within the Church. As my dear Brother in Christ Mike Spaulding, hastens to remind us that in Hebrews it talks about not moving on to solid food and still being on milk, milk signifying the fact that people wish to be entertained on a Sunday and not do real business with the living GOD.
It’s not about making America or the UK great again it’s about bringing people to salvation through repentance and forgiveness of sins not a side door of fuzzy-wuzzie feelings.
Dr. Mike Spaulding takes his best working boots and lends its full force to the back side of the Church of Laodicea and tells it to get its act together.
I’m Mark Sutherland Producer of Between Lambs and Lions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hMQbvJP6HM and I fully endorse this message – Make American Pulpits Great Again and while you’re at it the UK’s too!
In Make the Pulpit Great Again, Dr. Mike Spaulding has addressed some of the gravest ills plaguing the American pulpit. Only through a policy of complacency and compromise adopted by the nation’s pastors has the once-great United States ceded the moral high ground and set the standard for the rest of the world in pornography, addiction, perversion, and the murder of untold millions killed in state-sponsored, taxpayer-funded abortion mills. The words in Dr. Spaulding’s book contain the secret to restoring this country to her former glory. For if we are ever to make America great again, we must first have a national call to repentance by our church leaders; we must make the pulpit great again.

Pastor Mike Spaulding, my great friend and brother in Christ, has delivered a timely message for American Christians directly from the Word of God. In a time of undeniably great division and monumental historical significance, when so many can without much effort identify dozens of major problems that our society faces, we find ourselves long on complaints but short on solutions. Pastor Mike pulls no punches in his matter of fact analysis and encourages believers of all stations to press in to God, to stand up, and to be counted for the glory of the name of Jesus. My prayer is that this would serve as a signpost to believers and unbelievers alike, pointing them back to the one true God and to the path of life that He desires us to walk in this generation. May God speak to you, strengthen you, and give you the faith to grow in Christ and attain spiritual maturity through these pages and the scriptures they draw upon!

“And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11
One of the most blessed things Christians are privileged to participate in is the life of a local assembly of believers. It might surprise readers to learn that the Bible in both Testaments speaks almost exclusively within the context of local bodies. The Old Testament speaks specifically about the nation, tribes, and families of the Hebrew people. Their story of failure and success in being obedient to God and in becoming the people He desired them to be is a primary storyline of the Old Testament. The New Testament reads like a manual for righteous living within the context of the local church family.
Think about this friends – Matthew wrote for a Jewish audience, Mark a Gentile audience, Luke for the benefit of Theophilus, John to Christians generally speaking, Paul to the churches in Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, and Colossae to name a few. One thing these letters have in common with the possible exception of Luke is that they were written to churches. One could argue that Paul’s letters to Timothy were written to an individual believer but even then Paul was instructing Timothy on how to handle issues within the body of believers.
Anti-Semitism Arises Once Again – What is the Biblical Basis to Oppose it?
It’s quite unusual to find a Christian author or teacher that favors Israel who isn’t also a dispensationalist. And it is difficult to find a dispensationalist who isn’t also a Christian Zionist. Nevertheless, in Gerald McDermott, we have an Anglican theologian, Israel scholar, and author who is not dispensational, but who advocates for Jews everywhere, especially those living in the present state of Israel. McDermott has written extensively on the subject of why Israel should be valued by Christians rather than repudiated for their historical rejection of Jesus as the Messiah. Given the intensifying controversy surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the growing disapproval of the Israeli government by many Christian groups, a timely analysis of the situation appears most warranted.
In this article, I begin by pointing out while McDermott’s advocacy of Israel is welcomed and proceeds from an eschatological basis, his rationale owes as much to “Christian guilt” over our historical treatment of the Jews, as it does to truly biblical commitments for why Israel should matter to Christians. To be more specific, his theological basis dismisses the dispensational hermeneutic, seeing Dispensationalism as a birthplace for wild prophetic speculation and fundamentalist dogma. McDermott offers an alternative basis for favoring Israel. His viewpoint is gaining traction and thus, it is worthy of consideration. My goal in penning this piece affords only a short analysis of his perspective, it is a relevant way to begin when considering the conventional basis for supporting Israel, commonly identified as Dispensationalism. Additionally, while affirming Zionism (limited in its proper meaning here, advocating solely for Israel’s right to exist in its historic Middle Eastern land), I will provide a counter-argument to McDermott’s point of view, which comprises my main reason for writing; that is, asserting that Dispensationalism is a respectable, historical, and indeed, the strongest hermeneutic for why Christians should care about Israel. Obviously, one could write an entire book on the subject. This I hope to do in the months ahead. Here I will provide what amounts to no more than a prolog.
The current firestorm related to James White’s decision to facilitate an interfaith dialogue with Imam Yasir Qahdi is puzzling in the least and has become a stumbling block for many who do not understand how White cannot understand that he is “dancing with the devil” as the saying goes. Mr. White’s response to those critical of his decision has been the polar opposite of remorse and he has in fact dug his heels in and maintained that his actions were right and consistent with what Christians should be doing. Is that true? What bridges can be built to people who teach that Christians who do not submit or convert to Islam should be murdered? What madness is this that has gripped Christians today such that they believe the lie that building bridges to nowhere constitute evangelism? I won’t rehash all of Mr. White’s actions related to this in detail. You can read about that here – http://www.worldviewweekend.com/news/article/facts-reveal-james-white-islamic-dupe-clueless-evangelicals-are-desperate-save-his
What I wish to address is the support Mr. White has received. Surprisingly a couple of people with very different perspectives, one might say two people with theological beliefs very much at odds with one another, have stepped into the fray to defend Mr. White’s error. I am speaking of Phil Johnson and Michael Brown. This has added a layer of intrigue to the entire situation but has also served to obfuscate the truth of what critics of White’s decision to promote an interfaith dialogue have been saying. By engaging in what appear to be damage control activities on behalf of Mr. White, Johnson seems to have exposed himself as a hypocrite of the highest order. You can be the judge of whether or not that is true based on the information contained in this article. His previous statements seem to be completely contradictory to his stated position concerning James White’s ecumenicalism, or to use the new and improved phrase, interfaith dialogue.
