\u201cThere is nothing new under the sun,\u201d Solomon wrote in the Book of Ecclesiastes. What is experienced today has been experienced before. What has happened in the past will happen again. That\u2019s good to know. Because in today\u2019s America, the Christian faithful are faced with a terrifying and broad array of dangers and threats. It is good to know that there\u2019s nothing unique about these evils. Every one of them has a precedent. We are menaced not by new false gods, but by the return of demons from long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To those raised in a Christian world, it\u2019s easy to take its moral innovations for granted. Even atheists benefit from living in the world that Christians made. And the surest sign that we are living in an evil modern age is that the forces of modernity are fanatically fighting to restore the moral order that existed prior to Christianity: In other words, the moral order of the Pagans. In the Pagan world, the individual human life was of no importance. Therefore abortion, infanticide, human sacrifice, and more were just a part of life. Under Paganism, there was no notion that humans had equal innate worth, so one tribe enslaved another, or rulers enslaved their subjects, all with impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been friends with Lucas for some time now. I\u2019ve come to know him as a speaker, pastor, and partner at Turning Point USA Faith. But above all, I know him as a fearless warrior for Christ. Lucas is a man built to stand for the truth in a time of great apostasy. And the era we live in is a time of apostasy that would make the Old Testament prophets shudder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The revival of those Old Testament times is exactly what this book, Pagan Threat: Confronting America\u2019s Godless Uprising, confronts. Casual Christians like to imagine we have already won a permanent victory over the worshipers of Moloch, Baal, and Jupiter, but those gods are now back with a vengeance bearing new names like \u201cprogressivism,\u201d \u201ctolerance,\u201d and \u201csocial justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new Paganism says a lot about \u201cfreedom,\u201d but just like the old Pagans, its ultimate agenda is domination and moral anarchy. Christians seduced by its superficial words will find themselves betrayed\u2014or making an alliance with the devil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, people like Lucas have realized the danger and are fighting back. They are fighting back with a true vision of Christianity\u2014one that isn\u2019t always polite and isn\u2019t always \u201cnice,\u201d but is always on fire for the Lord and His truth. This book will not always be comfortable to read. It\u2019s not pleasant to realize that our faith and our way of life are in danger. Denial is always more pleasant in the moment. But if you are willing to open its pages with a heart tuned to the Holy Spirit, it will also equip you and embolden you to see clearly, speak truthfully, and stand firmly in the face of darkness. Don\u2019t just read this book\u2014internalize what it has to say. Then, share its message with your Christian friends, before they are seduced by Paganism themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have a faith and a country to save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
