FOREWORD BY CHARLIE KIRK

“A fearless warrior for Christ. Lucas is a man built to stand for the truth in a time of great apostasy. Don’t just read PAGAN THREAT—internalize what it has to say. Then, share its message with your Christian friends, before they are seduced by Paganism themselves. We have a faith and a country to save.”

—CHARLIE KIRK, FOUNDER TURNING POINT USA

“If ever there was a prophetic book for this hour. 'Godless uprising.' 'Pagan threat.' The young man...who murdered Charlie is right at the center of the kind of thing [Lucas Miles is] talking about here.”

—ERIC METAXAS

THERE IS A RISING PAGAN THREAT TO THE CHURCH AND AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

"The world does not need a Christianity of convenience or cultural compliance; it needs a Christianity that is fervent, passionate, and unapologetically true. For only when we believe, with all our hearts, that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life—only when we are convinced that the Gospel is not just a set of doctrines but the living, breathing power of God—will we have the courage to stand against the forces of Paganism.”—PASTOR LUCAS MILES, SENIOR DIRECTOR TURNING POINT USA FAITH

Pastor Lucas Miles, bestselling author of Woke Jesus: The False Messiah Destroying Christianity, delves into the alarming resurgence of pagan ideologies within the United States, posing significant threats to the church, the nation, and the world.

Unveiling the complex interplay between ancient beliefs and modern society, PAGAN THREAT: CONFRONTING AMERICA'S GODLESS UPRISING meticulously exposes the inherent dangers that challenge the core fabric of our faith and civic unity. From exposing an evolving techno paganism to blatant idol worship, Pastor Miles navigates the intricate terrain of safeguarding the nation and the pulpit against the rising tide of paganism.

PAGAN THREAT serves as an insightful guide, a warning and a call-to-action, urging readers to understand, confront, and ultimately fortify the foundations of their faith and the principles that define our great nation, and is a necessary work to prepare God’s people for what comes next in a society experiencing moral and spiritual decline.

PAGAN THREAT aims to shed light on how the ancient and the modern have converged in ways that threaten both the church and the broader fabric of our society. The connection between Woke ideology and Paganism is not merely a coincidence but a natural progression. Behind the emphasis on identity politics, intersectionality, and radical inclusivity within Wokeism lies centuries-old ancient Pagan ideologies. 

Pastor Lucas Miles does more than diagnose the threats we face; he aims to equip and inspire us to rise to the challenge and invites readers to embark on an adventure of spiritual awakening; To seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, embrace the transformative power of revival, and stand resolute against the encroaching darkness. The future of the church and our great nation depends on our collective faithfulness to the truth and our unwavering commitment to the Kingdom of God.

THE FINAL BATTLE PLAN TO RESIST PAGANISM

• Deepen Discipleship Rooted in Primary Christian Doctrine.
• Develop a Roadmap for Christian Engagement in Politics and the Public Square.
• Leverage Technology for the Advancement of the Gospel.
• Redouble Efforts to Reach Today’s Youth.
• Implement a Practical Strategy for Evangelism.
• Directly Combat False Doctrines and Pagan Ideologies.
• Renew Interest in Spiritual Gifts.

PAGAN THREAT shows we must focus on these essential steps needed to combat the rise of Paganism so we can fortify believers’ faith, strategically spread the Gospel, and reclaim the public square for God’s glory.

“To win the battle against Paganism, we must do more than merely resist the rise of its idols; we must believe in Christianity in a way that shapes our lives, our actions, and our very hearts. It is not enough to claim the name of Christ or to oppose the darkness with moral outrage; we embrace the light, letting it pierce the deepest corners of our souls.”—Pastor Lucas Miles

“Never discount an old man in a profession where people tend to die young. This book has more wisdom in it than any four year degree.”

WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING OUT OF SUNSETS, 

DON’T WASTE THE SUNRISES YOU HAVE LEFT.

Patrick “The Common Sense Cowboy” Dorinson welcomes you to hop on the stool next to him for 70 years of life stories, a coupla insights, and maybe even a laugh or two from the old guy at the end of the bar. Whether your poison is a fresh, cold beer, a shot of whiskey, or maybe just a soda water and lime, THE COMMON SENSE COWBOY’S GUIDE TO LIFE will shed new light on the ups and downs we all go through together across this glorious nation of ours. In the vein of such modern classics as Chicken Soup for the Soul and Tuesdays With Morrie, this book will hopefully lend a little extra guidance during these tumultuous days to those seeking it . . . along with some relatable tales of faith, failure, redemption, and enduring passion for being the best version of oneself possible.

THE COMMON SENSE COWBOY'S 12 RULES FOR LIFE

1. The secret to a long life is getting up every day with a purpose. Young or old, working or retired, everyone needs a purpose so find yours.
2. Never betray trust, because trust is like virginity. Once lost, it’s impossible to get back.
3. Everything breaks sooner or later. So, learn how to fix things.
4. The measure of a man is when he does the right thing even when no one is watching. If you do the wrong thing and nobody saw you do it, it is still wrong.
5. Don’t waste time thinking about what might have been. Put the “might have beens” in the same trash can reserved for the “wouldas”, the “shouldas” and the “couldas”. Then get busy with the “doin”.
6. A fancy education might gain you some knowledge, but only hard life experiences will gain you wisdom. A PhD won’t help you fix a flat tire.
7. Be wary of the person who tells you they can get you a burger and fries for nothing. There is no free lunch.
8. Your word is your bond, and your handshake seals the deal. 
9. If you shake hands with a politician, be sure to count your fingers when you let go to make sure you still have all five. (See above)
10. Don’t pray for things. The Almighty is not Amazon or Costco and faith delivers salvation and comfort not packages.
11. There is right and there is wrong. There are no loopholes and the only thing in between are excuses.
12. The Good Lord gave us each a certain number of seconds, minutes, hours and days, but he didn’t give us our expiration date. Use your time wisely and live life to the fullest.

IT’S TIME TO COWBOY UP AND START RIDIN' FENCES!

"A much needed wake-up call that China assumes that it is open season on Americans."

—Victor Davis Hanson

"There is a Red Storm rising in the East—and America is already under assault from the Chinese Communist Party."

—Lou Dobbs

“THE EAST IS RISING AND THE WEST IS DECLINING” 

—Xi Jinping, 2020

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, chairman of the Central Military Commission and the president of the People's Republic of China,  wants to shape the world in China’s image,  and in his conception of the world there is no place for the United States or even the current international order. 

Noted China analyst Gordon G. Chang warns that Xi Jinping believes he must destroy America to accomplish his objectives. And that Xi already has a plan to do it!

Xi reveres Mao and is marching China back to Maoism. He is reinstituting totalitarian social controls, demanding absolute political obedience from everyone, and cutting foreign links. Closing China off from the world is an essential element of his plan to save the communist system. His isolationism and xenophobia evoke policies from the earliest years of the People’s Republic and during the two millennia of imperial rule.  And Xi can’t stop talking about war. More significantly, he is implementing the largest military buildup since the Second World War, he is trying to sanctions-proof the Chinese regime, he is stockpiling grain and other commodities, he is surveying America for strikes and sabotage, he is mobilizing China’s civilians for battle, and he is purging China’s military of officers opposed to going to war.

While America’s elite thinks their country is at peace, China’s regime is waging its brand of war. The Chinese regime has deliberately killed Americans in great numbers this century—with disease and in other ways—and it has a plan to destroy America. The communist party-state in fact believes it must eliminate the United States to ensure its own survival. And to accomplish its goals, the regime is now fast mobilizing to go to war. China is preparing to plunge the world into conflict.

In  PLAN RED: China's Project to Destroy America, Chang argues:

• China’s campaign against America excludes nothing and uses every point of contact with American society to destroy it.

• China has been attacking America from inside America!

• China’s penetration of American society has been so thorough that the Communist Party has been able to kill Americans with impunity

• Xi turned an in-country epidemic into a once-in-a-century pandemic. This is the first time in history that one nation has attacked all the others.

• The Communist Party is using all its resources to support criminal activity in America, and Americans are dying as a direct result of those activities.

• Xi Jinping’s China is preparing to go to war. Not just “unrestricted war” or political war but “hot war” or “kinetic war,” in other words, war as Americans see it in the movies. 

• And China’s regime is planning to kill Americans in even greater numbers. It is marching the country to war.

Americans, in the triumphalist mood after the fall of the Soviet Union, thought they should establish contacts with China. Now, the Chinese regime uses every point of contact against America, and at the moment the regime is overwhelming American institutions. The FBI is being overwhelmed, local law enforcement is being overwhelmed, governments at all levels are being overwhelmed, and private organizations are being overwhelmed. After more than three decades of intensive “engagement,” it is clear Washington’s generous approach has failed. America has not changed China, as everyone now realizes; China has changed America.

Chang believes it is time to take a page from Ronald Reagan’s playbook and work to bring down the enemy: the Communist Party. The Communist Party often talks about “win-win” solutions, but as its actions make clear, it believes there can be only one survivor, either the People’s Republic of China or the United States of America. 

In this situation, there is only one solution: America needs to sever virtually every point of contact with the regime.

As much as the United States wants to avoid war, China, for a host of internal reasons, is driving hard toward it. And should China ultimately choose war, the United States will almost certainly be in the fight. 

China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?
