“This is our civilizational moment.” — Darrow Miller

We are not living in ordinary times. Occupy Till I Come gives readers a clear-eyed diagnosis: Western civilization stands at a crossroads between renewal and decline. The crisis is not merely political or economic — it is spiritual and cultural to the core.

With the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk in 2025, we are seeing the rapid acceleration of ideologies that deny the Creator and produce death rather than life. In the midst of this, God calls us, like the sons of Issachar (1 Chronicles 12:32), to understand the times and know what we ought to do.

We have embraced a culture of death.   Drawing on the prophetic insight of Malcolm Muggeridge’s “The Great Liberal Death Wish,” Occupy Till I Come shows how the rejection of the biblical worldview has unleashed a culture that celebrates death — from abortion to euthanasia to the demographic winter now gripping the West. What was once fringe is now mainstream because the Church largely retreated from the public square, accepting the sacred-secular divide.

For America’s 250th Anniversary

As we approach 2026 and the 250th celebration of the Declaration of Independence, we would like to pose a sobering question: What kind of nation will we pass to the next generation? The founders — orthodox Christians shaped by the Geneva Bible — understood that ordered liberty rests on moral and spiritual foundations. They did not envision a naked public square stripped of biblical truth. The “cut flower culture” we see today is the direct result of severing the roots.

Breaking the Sacred-Secular Divide

The central lie exposed from the beginning is the one that has disarmed the Church more than any external enemy: the idea that faith belongs only in the private, “sacred” realm while the “secular” spheres of culture operate by different rules. This divide is not biblical. It is a modern invention that has allowed darkness to advance while the people of light stayed silent or retreated.

Your Action Point This Week

Read chapters 1–2 of Occupy Till I Come with a journal. Ask: Where have I personally accepted the sacred-secular split in my own life or family? What cultural “death wish” patterns have I grown numb to?

Then pray: “Lord, open my eyes to see the times as You see them. Give me courage to occupy the spheres You have placed me in.”

This is not a book of despair. It is a book of clarity — the first step toward faithful presence with civilizational intent.

Get your copy of Occupy Till I Come and join us for the full 8-week journey. Next post: “From Positive World to Negative World.”

For the Kingdom,
