The president of Southern Seminary reveals how secularism has infiltrated every aspect of society and how Christians, equipped with the gospel of Jesus Christ, can meet it head on with hope, confidence, and steadfast conviction. A storm is coming. Western civilization and the Christian church stand at a moment of great danger. The storm is a battle of ideas that will determine the future of Western civilization and the soul of the Christian church. The forces we must fight are ideologies, policies, and worldviews that are deeply established among intellectual elites, the political class, and our schools.

Dr. Mohler states that “the first task of faithfulness lies in understanding reality” (xii), much like Winston Churchill did with the rising Nazi threat. In the following nine chapters, Mohler illustrates the gathering storm of secularity in a number of arenas including human life, the church, marriage, family, gender and sexuality, religious liberty and more.

He concludes by stating that retreat is tantamount to failure. “We are in a battle of ideas, and we will be in this battle until Jesus comes...The one true God is Lord over history, and he has now called Christians in this generation into the storm” (189). In an election year, the issues at stake will inevitably rise to the surface. Christians are called to demonstrate faith in God’s design, God’s Word, and in the Gospel’s power. ( )
