The Gathering Storm

"Speaking moral and spiritual truth to political, economic, and cultural power is never easy. At different times and in different places, however, it is more difficult or less. Today it is very difficult indeed—which explains why so few Christians or others are willing to do it. Many preachers, teachers, and ordinary folks go silent. Some even yield to ideologies that are antithetical to the moral teachings of Christianity and often the world’s other major religious traditions and to the principles of natural law and natural rights that have shaped the best in our own cultural history, including the founding of the United States as a nation ‘conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.’ Albert Mohler, however, refuses to be bullied into acquiescence or silence. His is a prophetic and unapologetic Christian voice speaking truth to power. In every corner of the Christian community his words should be heard and heeded." —Robert P.
