Years ago, I was near a beach when a tsunami warning was issued. An earthquake miles away under the ocean threatened to send a wall of water in my direction. It turned out to be nothing, but that didn’t keep me from going to higher ground. Dr. Jim Denison warns us in his new book of a cultural tsunami brought about by four cultural earthquakes. The philosophy of postmodernism has created a post-truth culture where the truth becomes “your truth.” The sexual revolution has changed sexual mores. Racial identity is forged through critical race theory and other associated isms and ideologies. Attacks on Christians are encouraged and celebrated as a secular religion grows stronger every day. He explains how these secular forces also show up in the desire to pass the misnamed Equality Act and how major businesses have become “woke.” He even describes how these secular waves influence how we think about genetics and designer babies. The response to a physical tsunami is to retreat to safer ground. But Jim Denison is not calling for us to run away from these waves but to defend biblical truth, to defend biblical sexuality, to defend biblical equality, and to defend biblical Christians. I would encourage you to buy a copy of his book, The Coming Tsunami: Why Christians Are Labeled Intolerant, Irrelevant, Oppressive, and Dangerous—and How We Can Turn the Tide. He not only is able to warn us of the danger, but he offers a prescription of proactive, biblical steps to redeem the challenges we face today. This is a book all of us need to read and apply to our current cultural situation so that we can turn the tide.
