It is time for Christians to "Make The Pulpit Great Again" (#MTPGA). Do not mishear me friends: I am not suggesting that we make pastors great. The cult of personality that exists today related to "rock star" pastors is a blight upon the Church, not a cause of celebration. What I am suggesting is that we make the role of shepherd great again. God still calls people to be His under-shepherds, to teach His people His Word, and to educate as well as train them for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12). What will that take? It will take the remnant body of Christ pulling in the same direction. It will take the remnant body of Christ holding pastors and one another accountable for faithfulness to the task of feeding sheep. I am stating plainly that until or unless Christians realize that they must hold up the banner of truth and righteousness as a clear rallying point, the Church will remain ineffective.
