Michael a Milton

Michael A. Milton uncovers the treasures of one of the Bible’s regularly overlooked books in this pastoral treatment of Leviticus.God’s call changed everything for the Israelites. Amid the vast, severe wilderness landscape of the Sinai region, in sun–scorched sorrow and disappointment over a recent national sin – the creation and worship of an idol of smelted jewelry – life abruptly changes. With the first line of Leviticus, “And the Lord called,” God interrupts time and space, regret and reason, futility and hope. He reveals the pattern of the gospel: the holiness of God, the problem of human sin, God’s plan of salvation, His call to holiness through His gracious provision. He shows a way for sinful humans to live in the presence of a holy God. Leviticus for modern–day ChristiansThis call doesn’t just affect the ancient Israelites – Milton shows how Leviticus still speaks to Christ’s followers today. This book of the law points consistently to Jesus, the fullness and fulfilment of every antitype. It reveals to us in stark terms the abhorrence of sin, and the barrier it creates between mankind and God.Beginning with a helpful overview of Leviticus, and after providing some beneficial information about its title, authorship, time and biblical context, Milton tackles the book in four sections: Called to Worship (chapters 1–7)Called to Ministry (chapters 8–10)Called to Purity (chapters 11–16)Called to Holiness (chapters 17–27)Throughout, we see how this call applies not only to the ancient Israelites, but also to us. Get into this fascinating bookApproaching God will be excellent for personal bible study, or for a pastor or small group leader working through the book.

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.

How do educators, clergy, attorneys, and the concerned public come to terms with meaningful, workable ethics in an age that eschews any attempt to define truth and error? Michael A. Milton has addressed that question in the new monograph, From Flanders Field to the Moviegoer: Philosophical Foundations for a Transcendent Ethical Framework. Milton draws on English literature, sociology, history, public policy, and theology to mark milestones in the cultural journey from the philosophical crisis after World War I, the end of modernity and the introduction of the ""theater of the absurd"" in post-modernity. Rather than merely a survey, this monograph proposes a ""way forward"" in teaching metaphysical ethics. Originally given as a paper before American and British defense leaders in Washington, DC, Milton's original paper is now expanded for use in undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate classrooms, as well as libraries and professional military education.

What does biblical faith look like? How does salvation work? Am I even saved? How do I know? Perhaps one of these questions has kept your thoughts captive. The apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1 communicates the inner workings of salvation and what salvation will bring forth in a person's life with profound clarity. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Peter describes what a Christian is, what a Christian has to look forward to, and what being a Christian will increasingly mean as we live as exiles in this world. In A Steadfast Faith we examine the faith delivered to the saints once and for all with the goal of a greater assurance of God's salvation and a more fervent desire to know the God who justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies all those with a God-given steadfast faith in the gospel. ""Justin Miller has prepared this book by carefully studying the writings of that man called Peter. By God's Spirit working through this young pastor, the Lord has provided us with a remarkably beautiful and concise answer to the question, 'How can I be saved' and 'How can I know that I have eternal life' Pastor Miller has followed the old fisherman whose life had been changed by the Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ, and brought back a remarkable treasure of wisdom."" --Michael A. Milton, President, Faith for Living ""With a variety of examples from history, culture, life, and above all biblical truth, Miller engages and unfolds the glorious truth of the first chapter of 1 Peter. Justin takes the heavy and profound truths of 1 Peter 1:1-25 and presents each doctrine as a precious gem held in the light to see clearly the many facets of each. It is an informative, convicting, and encouraging work beneficial to every believer."" --Blain R. Craig, Pastor, Oak Crest Baptist Church Justin Miller is a husband, father, pastor, and most importantly a follower of the Lord Jesus.

Only those who have an undeniable calling from God will be fit for the challenges and strains of the ministry life. But how do you test a calling and how do you proceed if you are certain its legitimacy? From the theology of being called, to selecting a seminary, to beginning life as a pastor, Michael Milton looks to the Word of God for answers and guidance, as well as drawing on his own experience as a Presbyterian minister.

John 17 contains the greatest intercessory prayer every prayed from this earth. The Apostle John reveals Jesus of Nazareth, in full disclosure of his self identity, going to his Father not only for his disciples then but also for his disciples now. Drawing from this remarkable chapter of the Bible, Michael A. Milton has sought to capture the timeless spiritual truths that Jesus prayed and to apply them to the lives of his congregation. In this book, all of us can now benefit from these insights. 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. Prayer is one of those things to which we all give lip service, but deep down we know we could improve in this area. So why not learn from the Master Himself, our Lord Jesus who provides a model prayer in John 17? You are holding in your hands a book about that prayer, written by one of the early graduates of Knox Theological Seminary, Dr. Michael Milton. I highly recommend it. D. James Kennedy, Ph.D. Senior Minister Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church Michael A. Milton (PhD, Wales) is President and Professor of Practical Theology of Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina. An ordained Presbyterian (PCA) minister, Milton's pastoral record includes serving as Senior Minister of the historic First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga, TN, planting two churches (Kansas, Georgia) and founding a Christian school (Westminster Academy, Overland Park, KS). Dr. Milton resides with his wife and son in the Charlotte area.

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.
