The Headlines Out of Texas Should Wake Every Christian Up

The Republic of Teksasistan

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Hosea 4:6

On my last visit to Texas, I noticed something I couldn’t ignore. New buildings. New signs. New domes. Something rising where steeples once stood without competition.

In the last twenty-four months, forty-eight mosques have been built in Texas.
Forty-eight.
In the buckle of the Bible Belt.

Most Texans don’t realize what that means.
Most pastors won’t say it aloud.

We were raised to believe Texas was unshakeable. A place where Christianity shaped not only the culture but the conscience. A land where the Bible on the kitchen table was not a museum piece. Where churches built communities and men guarded their homes with conviction.

But history humbles any people who stop paying attention.
And today, a new possibility sits on the horizon.

A future people will call the Republic of Teksasistan.

Not because Islam conquered anything.
But because Christianity surrendered everything.

How We Got Here

A culture doesn’t collapse in a single moment. It erodes by inches.
First, the Church grows quiet.
Then, the family shrinks.
Then, the schools drift.
Then, the laws shift.
Then, the vacuum fills.

Islam does not rise because it is more persuasive. It rises because it is more committed to reproducing itself. Larger families. Stronger community ties. Clear expectations. Steady immigration. A unified religious identity.

Even if we lean on the most substantive data available, the most recent comprehensive survey from the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, or ISPU, in 2020 listed 224 mosques in Texas. That number represented a thirty-five percent rise since 2010. No updated counts confirm the exact figure for 2023 through 2025, but the trajectory is clear enough to say one thing with confidence.

Houston, we have a problem.

Meanwhile, American Christianity debates worship styles and avoids the hard questions. The Church traded courage for comfort. It traded discipleship for entertainment. It traded strength for sentiment.

And into that vacuum steps a competing worldview with no intention of playing by the rules of pluralism or secular neutrality.

What Teksasistan Looks Like

If the trends continue, the future will not look like a Hollywood caricature. It will look slow at first. Then obvious.

A region where:

• Mosques multiply faster than Bible-believing churches.
• Public institutions grant wide accommodation to Islamic practice while restricting Christian expression.
• Schools avoid mentioning Christianity but teach Islam as cultural literacy.
• City councils fast-track mosque construction while blocking church zoning requests.
• Neighborhoods begin shifting demographically and politically.
• A faith with a long history of shaping entire societies begins shaping this one.

This is not new. Western Europe lived through this pattern. First the immigration wave. Then the rise in mosques. Then the cultural hesitancy to confront the shift. By the time leaders spoke plainly, the change was already locked in place.

And Texas is showing early signs of the same arc. Consider one example. In North Texas a proposed 402-acre development known as EPIC City, backed by the East Plano Islamic Center, includes more than one thousand homes, a mosque, a K through 12 school, senior housing, parks and commercial space. The scale resembles a self-contained community. Federal investigators examined whether its marketing strategy violated housing law. The United States Department of Justice closed its civil rights review after the developers affirmed compliance with federal law. State inquiries remain ongoing, but the project continues to move forward under existing protections.

This is the kind of large-scale religious and cultural infrastructure that signals a deeper shift.

This is not fear. This is math. This is history. It is the pattern seen in every nation where confidence in Christianity collapses.

Some will object. They always do. “Christianity isn’t shrinking. God is in control. Everything will work out.” Yes, God rules. Yes, Christ reigns. But Scripture never excuses spiritual laziness. Judgment begins with the household of God, and nations rise or fall based on obedience or rebellion.

Texas is not exempt from this principle.

What the Church Forgot

This moment isn’t ultimately about Islam.
It is about us.

The Church forgot the cost of truth.
It forgot the duty of discipleship.
It forgot the command to be fruitful and multiply.
It forgot that God builds nations through families that fear Him.
It forgot that no civilization survives once it hates the faith that built it.

For decades, Christians trusted the culture to handle moral formation. That culture is now gone. What remains is a people unsure of who they are, unsure of what they believe, and unsure of how to defend the truth that once defined them.

Islam fills vacuums.
Christianity is meant to build kingdoms.

The question is which one Texas chooses to live like.

A Call for Clarity

This is not a call to panic. It is a call to wake up.

Christians need to reclaim the ground they surrendered.
Rebuild strong families.
Plant confessional churches.
Raise sons who love truth and daughters who love wisdom.
Stand firm in the public square.
Refuse the lie that faith belongs in private while the culture burns.

And to the men reading this, hear this clearly. If fathers do not disciple their children, someone else will. Islam understands that. Christians used to. Every true revival begins with men who refuse to sleep through the collapse of their own households.

Texas can remain Texas, or it can sleepwalk into the Republic of Teksasistan.
The future will not be decided by politicians. It will be decided by parents and pastors. It will be decided by the people who believe their faith deserves to shape the world their children inherit.

Forty-eight mosques in twenty-four months.
The numbers tell the story.
The Church decides how it ends.
