standing for Christ in a collapsing culture

Will You Be Complicit, Complacent, or Courageous? In a culture with an ever-narrowing definition of tolerance, Christians can no longer stay silent about the divide between the Bible's truth and the world's lies. From bestselling author Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, No Reason to Hide examines the toxic roots behind the alarming symptoms of a nation in spiritual freefall-and why your faith must empower you to engage rather than hide. As you read, you'll be equipped to defend your biblical beliefs with confidence and compassion. You'll also identify how you can respond to the battleground issues of today, including - identity-driven social justice ideologies that seek to divide rather than unite - cultural attacks on the definitions of sex and gender that turn language into a war - progressive pushes within the church that ultimately desecrate the Bible's teachings A call for believers to standing firm in today's oppressive world, No Reason to Hide is a rallying reminder that will ready Christians everywhere to have the courage to proclaim Scripture's truth to a culture in desperate need of what only God can offer. No Reason to Hide is a rallying reminder that Christians everywhere must have the courage to stand up and proclaim Scripture's truth to a culture in need of what only God can offer. "Erwin Lutzer's powerful new book makes a compelling case for Christians to get off the sidelines and join the battle for our culture and faith. Seeking to separate the church from politics, leaders have allowed the politics of the world to seep into the church and influence the morality and worldviews of congregants. When the church compromises its mission and fails to declare God's eternal truths to a dying world, it leaves a void that the wisdom of the world can never fill. Lutzer challenges Christians to rethink what it means to suffer for Christ. It is a choice we each have to make during these perilous times." -Dr. Carol M. Swain, distinguished senior fellow for constitutional studies, Texas Public Policy Foundation "Once again, Erwin Lutzer helps answer the question: What does faithfulness look like in our collapsing culture? With biblical insight he deals with issues regarding collective demonization, race, propaganda, and the sexual revolution and its destructive agenda. He also describes his concern that the evangelical church is compromising its message because it has fallen into the trap of interpreting the Bible through the lens of culture. Read this book to be challenged and convicted, and above all, better understand why it is a joyful privilege to represent Christ despite growing opposition. After all, as the title of the book tells us, we have no reason to hide!" -Dr. Tony Evans, president, The Urban Alternative; senior pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship "In No Reason to Hide, Erwin Lutzer once again brilliantly brings together a biblical perspective on the unprecedentedly crucial issues we are facing as a culture. Important." -Eric Metaxas, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the nationally syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show "This book is a bold and necessary wake-up call. The cultural questions Erwin Lutzer answers are indeed the most pressing that Christians face today, yet many of us would rather go into comfortable hiding than confront them. As Lutzer so powerfully demonstrates, however, there is no reason to hide. Truth is on our side, and it's time to take that seriously. This is a clear, relevant, and invaluable guide that I'll recommend to Christians for a long time to come." -Natasha Crain, speaker, podcaster, and author of four books, including Faithfully Different "Erwin Lutzer has been sounding this all-important alarm and calling us to sanity in a culture that has been running headlong toward insanity. In his newest book, No Reason to Hide, he sh..
