We are surrounded by a twenty-first century culture totally antagonistic to a Biblical worldview. What the Bible teaches about God, history, ethics, biology, morality, marriage, gender, the family, personal responsibility, abortion, antisemitism, the future, and many other life-altering issues has never been under so direct an assault by Naturalistic, and ultimately Satanic, forces. Referring to contemporary American culture as "secular" or even as a "post-truth" age is far too tepid a response. In the United States, we live in an increasingly defacto atheist culture. Our trusted ally in this battle of worldviews must be the local church. Sadly, for too many years the organized church itself has been seduced by the very forces of culture it is meant to address. It has largely failed in its biblical obligations and become the apostate church of the last days. This book is intended to be a wake-up call both to the individual Christian and to the local church to embrace a more engaged apologetic approach to ministry. We are commanded by Peter always to be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15). That is our personal commission as believers, as well as the obligation of the local church to prepare us for our individual mission fields. We are engaged in a war of worldviews. Is your local church preparing you for this battle or sitting this fight out on the sideline? It is time to Burn Your Ships. Find a local church that is willing to assist you in this life and death battle. Keep looking until you do.
