josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

He who troubles his house shall inherit the wind — so a workaholic is no better than a sluggard. The panel discusses keeping it between these ditches: breaking a control-freak mindset…three warning signs of burnout…examples of how to reduce high stress levels…what it looks like to apply the Sabbath principle every Sunday…and ultimately entering the rest of the Lord, and exemplifying that rest to our children.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Kevin talks with Jed Coppenger about 10 traps of an inauthentic faith. They discuss spotting those hypocrisies which don’t fit our pet molds…questions to ask ourselves to flush out hypocrisy in our own lives…how to spot when we’re majoring on the minors (and minoring on the majors)…what to do when church leaders are exposed as fakes…and when being active for Jesus is a way to avoid being intimate with Him.

Race, Culture, and the Gospel — What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Kevin and Josh take on a listener's question about racial comfort and church choice. They talk about the two equal and opposite ditches of the woke church and the racist church…how the gospel is the only force powerful enough to dissolve ethnic enmity…what Ephesians 2:14 and Revelation 7:9 say about the unity Christ purchased……and how being an A-to-Z discipleship church is essential to crossing cultural boundaries.

Majority of Corporations Dropping LGBTQ

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation pro-homosexual “Corporate Equality Index” was down from 377 to 131 companies this year. What role did Trump’s “bully pulpit” play — and is it affecting the bastions of humanism in Hollywood and the universities? Is it turning around the NFL’s persecution of Christian players who won’t bow to the idol of LGBTQ? When Persia, Greece, and Rome fell, the last step before the pit was homosexuality. Will America be any different?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Kevin talks to James Baird about his new book, King of Kings. They discuss the myth that Christ’s kingdom is exclusively spiritual…how people mistake His patience with rebellious states for absence…what “Christ is Lord” actually implies for our doctrine of government…how this ties into Christian Nationalism and “public spirit”…and the three historical principles of rulership that a Christian representative can use to help reform politics today.

How to Lead Your Family in Healthy Church Engagement - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

What is the relationship between family and church — and how important should church be in the family’s priorities? If the church itself is a family, how does the natural family fit into it…without getting erased? How much should Sunday revolve around church (and the rest of the week)? What are the ways dad should be engaging at church — and how can every member of the household find a place and get involved?

Iran is a key nation in the world today; the largest and strongest in the middle East. Kevin speaks with pastor Pooyan Mehrshahi to understand what is happening spiritually in Iran. They discuss how the Ayatollahs disillusioned the Iranians from Islam…the dangers this exposes them to as they grope for a replacement…the extent of Christian persecution and martyrdom…how the Bible is being spread throughout Iran…and what the nation needs most.

Kevin and Josh tackle a question about the place of emotions in the life of the Christian. They talk about how our emotions relate to our affections…three biblical foundations that root our emotional expressions…what proper emotion in worship should look like…whether we are responsible for what we feel…the biblical means for training our emotions…and whether the modern idea of triggering is just emotional manipulation.

Why Not Classical Christian School?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Doug Wilson’s video about why not to homeschool has 25,000 views in 6 months. But is he right? Kevin and Danny discuss what we are raising our children to be — and whether classical schooling gets there. Can Aristotle teach us to debate better than Peter? Is academics the chief focus — or just a fraction of full-orbed discipleship and dominion? Can the trivium produce worshipers? Ultimately, should school be the center of gravity for a family?

Just How Bad Is the Epstein Situation? - Interview with Alex Newman

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Alex Newman, editor at New American Magazine, discusses his research into the Epstein scandal. How bad was it really? (Turns out it can’t adequately be described on a family show.) Will the men involved get away with it? Why do witnesses keep dying? Why are the authorities doing so little, when they exist to punish evil? Would indicting the key players leave a leadership vacuum in the US? And how should the church respond?

With the average marriage age at 29–32, the average man hooked on porn, and the average woman a feminist, it’s not easy finding godly suitors. How are we to identify them? How picky should we be?

The Big Bang and Other Just-So Stories

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 01:00:00 -0400

Where did the universe come from? The big bang is the most popular theory, with 70% of Americans being believers. But how did that happen? Where did the matter come from? How can we get evidence from 13.8 billion years ago, to test this theory? And if these conjectures cannot be truly tested, are they really science? Kevin and Bill discuss the limits of scientific inquiry, the testimony of Scripture, and how evolutionism actually destroys science.

Is Transgenderism a Salvation Issue? - What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

How bad is transgenderism? Does God abominate it as he does other sexual perversions? Can you be a “transgender Christian” or is that like saying an “incestuous Christian” or a “wiccan Christian?” If a young Christian man comes to believe he is actually a woman, just how serious is that, and what should we say to him?

The Surprisingly Christian History of Early America

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

In the 1600s, the best of the Reformation converged on America…covenanted together under God…and took His law as the basis for their government. By 1880, America had the largest GDP in the world. Today, Americans contribute 90% of global charity. God’s blessing has rested on us for 250 years, and to this day, we are the most God-blessed nation. Kevin and Danny discuss what happened to bring such blessing…and whether it could happen again.

Kevin & Bill Ruin Family Movie Night

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Movies are the most powerful teaching tool in our culture. In the 60s and 70s, a small group of studios led the West by the nose into moral revolution — and the Academy Awards continue to reward films romanticizing evil. But Americans’ embrace of moral relativism has flatlined in the past 10–15 years. Hollywood has lost its grip on the American mind — and now there is a great opportunity for independent Christian filmmakers. Will we seize it?

Should we fast — and does fasting somehow make God pay more attention to our prayers? Is it a way for God to test the sincerity of our petitions…and if so, are there wrong ways to pray and fast?

Can We Abolish Compulsory School Attendance?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Plato’s totalitarian paternalistic state has finally been actualized — and today every secular government believes it must control the education of children. Yet there are signs that this cannot continue. In 1985 America, no one was homeschooled — today, 7% are. Support for public schools has plummeted to just 29%. Kevin talks to Bradley Pierce of Heritage Defense about whether it’s possible to overturn compulsory school attendance laws…whether there are any downsides…and what homeschooling parents can do.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Scripture commands that we nurture our children in the admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4)—but sometimes it just doesn’t seem to work. The panel discusses the place of spanking in the training of children, asking: is it not working, or is it just taking longer than you’d like? They talk about teaching vs atonement…rebellion vs immaturity…changing behavior vs changing the heart…and alternatives to spanking that often render it unnecessary.

He only has a slight history of adulterous affairs.

How To Deal With an Unrepentant, Recalcitrant Spouse - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 01:00:00 -0400

Proud, hypocritical spouses are sadly not unusual in Christian homes. Unsubmissive wives who refuse to attend church — or unloving husbands who refuse to lead the family. They claim Christ, but won’t follow Him. So is there anything you can you do? Can you “fix” your spouse? Is church discipline appropriate? Is it different dealing with a bad husband vs a bad wife?

If you wanted to start a world war, history suggests that the proper procedure would be: institute tariffs; stir up nationalistic fervor; insult world leaders who don’t agree with you; find an economic cataclysm (unaffordable housing would do nicely)…and perform a high-level assassination.

Kevin and Danny ask why even Christians are dropping F-oul bombs today. Is it authentic, rejecting a fake veneer of “polite society”?

Cowardice, people-pleasing, apathy, self-seeking — these sins are passive and easy to overlook. But when indulged, relationships dwindle, children drift, and households disintegrate.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

With 166 standing ovations in a single address, the State of the Union revealed more than policy priorities — it exposed the heart of America. Kevin and Bill review the real accomplishments along with the issues left unaddressed, in Trump's 2026 State of the Union address.

What Does the Bible Say About Patriarchy?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Is patriarchy biblical, misunderstood, or misused? In this conversation, Kevin and Josh challenge both feminist rejection and reactionary overcorrection, insisting that Scripture defines authority through love, responsibility, and care. True headship looks less like control and more like Christ laying down His life.

How Screens Secretly Shape Our Desires - Interview with Doug Smith

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

The media we’re ingesting is often toxic. But how bad is it? Kevin talks to author Doug Smith about how cleverly our smartphones are designed to disciple us in the seven deadly sins, when we sit down, when we travel, when we go to bed, and when we wake up. Doug shares five biblical practices to reshape us in the image of God, so we can be disciplined in our habits, and diligent in our callings.

The Morality of the Elite vs. Epstein

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0500

Many of the world’s most influential intellectuals have argued that morality can stand apart from God, yet the Epstein scandal — touching figures across science, finance, politics, and royalty such as Prince Andrew — has challenged that confidence. Kevin and Danny explore how elite claims of moral autonomy collide with the reality of conscience and accountability.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Your marriage should tell the story of the gospel — but irritation and busyness often drag it off course, especially once you have kids. The panel talks about practical ways to cultivate friendship and affection with your wife (both physically and emotionally)…fostering oneness and guarding intimacy…and maintaining margin for each other without neglecting work and children.

What actually produces embittered homeschooled kids?

Kevin and Danny call families back to a God-centered model of education rooted in Scripture and relational discipleship.

What Is the Gospel? - What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

If you don’t believe the right gospel, you’re going to hell. So what is the gospel? Kevin and Josh talk about the key elements that Scripture spells out — and ask why one of the chief ones is so often omitted and ignored in the modern church. There is something extremely wrong with the typical summary that “Jesus died for our sins,” and this is reflected in the deep sickness that is killing evangelicalism.

Bad Bunny, or Big Bad Wolf?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Kevin and Bill talk about the patterns of our cultural disintegration, and how they are reflected in the changes to the half-time show over the past 60 years. Events like these incrementally adjust worldviews by pushing the envelope of what people feel is acceptable to society. But how should we engage with those who think it was just a celebration of diversity? How do we avoid groupthink, and point out that the emperor has no clothes? Multiculturalism is meant for a pass on bad morality, but not for us.

Both negative and positive examples are important in Scripture: bad guys are a warning, and good guys are a model. Kevin discusses his top five best and worst US presidents…the seven criteria for judging whether they were good or bad…the pattern to why righteous or unrighteous presidents appear at certain times…why Abraham Lincoln doesn’t make either list…and which president was the worst in US history.

“But What About Socialization?!” - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

The panel discusses the classic concern: how could any child become socially and relationally mature without attending a state school? But what is socialization, defined biblically?

They discuss, “I don’ t like my kids and they don’t like me!” — plus, how to take clashes between tweener sons and their moms and transform these into enduring mother/son relationships…tips for turning disobedience from littles into love and respect…and why the Waynes chose Generations for their Raising Them Up Podcast, rather than a more mainstream Christian platform.

What Does the Bible Say About Courage?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Fear has gripped the modern world — and in recent years, it gripped the church as well. Scripture draws a sharp distinction between the fear of man and the fear of the Lord, and it does not treat cowardice lightly. What does true biblical courage look like in an age of intimidation and uncertainty? We explore how the gospel frees believers from the fear of death and calls them to lion-hearted faith

“And the Greatest of These Is Empathy”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

The highest ethic for many Americans is niceness…so Hillary Clinton is upset about MAGA’s “war against empathy.” But should the magistrate empathize with those who break the law, or should he punish them? And why is it always certain people we have to empathize with — the mother, but not the aborted baby? The protesters, but not the ICE agents? Kevin and Bill discuss how empathy untethered from God’s law leads to hypocrisy and tyranny.

With rising tyranny leading to the worst persecution of Christianity in history, Kevin speaks to Jacob Tanner, author of Resist Tyranny, Obey God: Lessons from the Life and Times of John Knox.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Strong Christianity produces prosperous and free nations — but weakening faith breeds tyranny. A century ago, that decline led to 100 million bodies…but is our faith stronger than it was in the 1920s? Kevin and Bill talk about the possibility of restoring biblical government and liberty in America…how fearful and proud people give “savior” dictators power…and whether American evangelicals could repeat the error of the German ones who elected Hitler.

American trust in pastors has halved since 2009. Weekly church attendance is down 40%. What is going on — and what is the answer? Kevin and Danny talk about how pragmatic leadership strategies have compromised the pastorate…the difference being a Christian leader and a Christian influencer…forgiveness of scandal vs restoration to office…the need for leaders to actually be ahead of others…and ministry as a work of love, not a platform for impact.

Preparing Kids To Face Spiritual Struggles - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0500

When kids are young, we put ourselves between them and the world, the flesh, and the devil. But as they mature, they must learn to fight for themselves.

Martin Luther King, Jr. famously demanded to be judged on the content of his character, not the color of his skin. But with 36+ affairs, Marxist views, and “the tape” being released next year, the only reason to keep celebrating MLK Day seems to be his skin color! Kevin and Bill suggest some worthy alternatives who were true national heroes — but also ask: should we dedicate a federal holiday to any particular person at all?

The sheer numbers of moral scandals in the evangelical church has been unprecedented as far back as we can remember. We can’t just ignore this. The stories don’t stop. A major evangelical author fell down, and 188 stories like this just last year. Kevin and Danny get back to what Jesus said. The evangelical gel is not going to work.

War by “Pretext” - Drug Deaths, National Security, and the Ethics of Intervention

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0500

A U.S. operation that captured Venezuela’s president has raised hard questions about authority, truthfulness, and the constitutional limits of executive power. The larger issue goes deeper than geopolitics: broken nations don’t get healed by force, propaganda, or swapped-out strongmen.

Can Western Civilization Be Rebuilt? - Interview with Pastor Doug Wilson

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Is the West simply in decline, or is God rearranging the landscape for the sake of His church? In this wide-ranging cultural post-mortem, Kevin sits down with Pastor Doug Wilson to trace 300 years of eroding Christian foundations and the inevitable collapse of the building that sat on top of them. They critique mainstream conservatism for clinging to external cultural forms (Christmas trees without Christ) while conceding the core, and they warn against purely ethnic forms of nationalism that can’t resurrect a civilization. Instead, they call for a return to God’s law as the standard for nations and to robust Christian education as the “Omaha Beach” of the worldview battle.

A Post-Christian Turning Point in America’s Largest City

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

NYC has crossed a symbolic threshold, reflecting a broader shift in the West away from Christ and Christian order. When a society abandons God’s law, it does not become neutral—it invites competing ideologies that promise liberation but deliver coercion. History shows that Marxism, Islam, and sexual revolution thrive where Christian foundations erode. This episode examines the spiritual meaning of these alliances and calls listeners to sober discernment, repentance, and faithfulness in a hostile age.

2026 Forecast - Populist Politics, Cultural Chaos, and a Call to Repentance

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0500

A new year exposes old illusions: political reshuffling cannot heal moral collapse, and fiscal tricks cannot stop the avalanche of debt. When a nation grows indifferent to the slaughter of the unborn and the corruption of sexuality, instability is not surprising—it is deserved. The most frightening sign is not outside the church but inside it: the weakening of pro-life conviction and the silence where the fear of God should be preached. Stability returns only when repentance returns, and when churches teach what God says matters most.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Every home drifts unless someone steers. Dads, God calls you to set direction—starting with Scripture, then bringing your wife alongside, and then translating vision into doable habits. The dads talk about simple, practical tools for family planning, how to build a “team” spirit, and how to take honest inventory without crushing your wife or discouraging your kids.

The Manliness of Christ – Getting Jesus Right in a Soft Age - Interview with Dale Partridge

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

The drift is real: a softer, sentimental Jesus has seeped into preaching, worship, and discipleship—and it’s producing a church that feels more like therapy than an army. Dale Partridge argues this didn’t happen overnight; emotionalism and post-war “weakness” reshaped what many Christians think is normal. The result is a Christ who comforts but rarely commands, and men who disengage because the Jesus presented to them feels domesticated.

2025 Year in Review: Strong Men, Global Tremors, and God’s Sovereign Purposes

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

As 2025 closes, the headlines tempt us to interpret history as a contest of strongmen, markets, and machines. Scripture won’t let us stop there—God rules the nations, weighs the church, and judges what our age calls “private” sins with public consequences. This year-in-review asks not merely what happened, but what God is doing, and whether we will repent where it matters most. The goal is sobriety, courage, and a return to first priorities: fear God, take up the cross, and disciple the next generation.

Is Hell Eternal? – What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Questions about the nature of hell and the destiny of the soul are resurfacing in the church, often framed as matters of nuance or speculation. Scripture, however, speaks with deliberate gravity—placing eternal punishment and eternal life side by side. These doctrines are meant to shape reverence, humility, and urgency, not fearfulness or indifference.

The West Turns on God’s Law - Why Liberty Cannot Survive Apostasy

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

The greatest threat to liberty is not immigration, economics, or political disagreement—it is Christian apostasy. When churches abandon truth, the culture loses its moral anchor and the state fills the vacuum with coercion. The West is learning, once again, that freedom cannot outlast faithlessness. Liberty fades wherever God’s authority is denied.

Starting a Family Business: The Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurial Discipleship - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

For generations, Christian homes operated as miniature economies where moms, dads, and children worked, served, and built together—but that vision has been largely lost. The dads explain why recovering it is essential for raising responsible sons, diligent daughters, and families who take dominion for Christ. They discuss risk-aversion, skill-building, mentorship, starting small, and how ordinary dads can reintroduce entrepreneurial life into their homes.

The Danger of Christmas - When the Symbols Replace the Savior

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Christmas becomes dangerous when the symbols grow larger than the Savior they were meant to proclaim. Mangers, music, gifts, and traditions can quietly replace worship if they are detached from the cross and the gospel. Families must come back to the full story of Christ—from incarnation and humiliation to death, resurrection, and kingship. True joy is found not in the celebration itself, but in the Savior it points to.

Christian Schooling — What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Christian schools promise safety, but safety is found only in obedience to God’s design. When education separates knowledge from character and learning from obedience, it produces pride rather than wisdom. Scripture calls parents to teach diligently as they sit, walk, rise, and lie down. True education is not measured by information transferred, but by lives shaped in the fear of the Lord.

Pro-Choice America After Dobbs – The Verdict Is In

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

The data is sobering: abortion support is rising, abortion pills are becoming normalized, and even self-identified evangelicals are divided where clarity should reign. This is reminiscent of Judah’s collapse after Josiah - top-down reform without grassroots doesn’t save a nation. Christians need to stop hiding behind soft language, speak plainly about murder and the 6th commandment, and seek cleansing through the blood of Christ.

Australia wants to ban social media for kids under 16, school shooters’ parents face 180-year sentences, and Western governments increasingly act like surrogate parents.

Stopping Spiritual Drift in Your Family – Discipleship for Dads

Spiritual drift is rarely dramatic—it’s quiet, subtle, and often unnoticed until you’ve drifted “900 miles” from where you started. Kevin and the dads talk honestly about the warning signs: selfishness, prayerlessness, skipped family worship, and hearts more drawn to entertainment than to Christ. They walk through anchors and rhythms—daily Word, prayer, Lord’s Day, honest confession—and share practical ways to shepherd sleepy, distracted families back to spiritual alertness and joy in Christ.

When Empires Fall: Why Christians Should Welcome Decentralization

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

If America’s centralized systems crack, is that only bad news? Kevin and Bill compare our moment to the collapse of Rome and the so-called “Dark Ages,” when the gospel quietly discipled Europe for centuries. They explain how centralized power devalues the individual, feeds elitism, and makes it easier for principalities and powers to capture education, media, and law. Then they sketch a biblical alternative: family economies, local churches with real jurisdiction, and a nation of millions of obedient households instead of one towering state.

Is Social Security just neutral math, or a moral issue for Christians? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow open Matthew 15, 1 Timothy 5, and the example of Jesus on the cross to show that God assigns elder care first to children, grandchildren, and the local church—not the state. They expose Social Security as an unsustainable Ponzi scheme propped up by birth implosion and political denial, and then cast a hopeful vision for families, diaconates, and congregations that tithe, give, and prepare to care for their own widows when the system cracks.

Why are 62% of Gen Z now favorable toward socialism and a third open to communism? Kevin Swanson and Danny Craig trace the pipeline: professors who are 9:1 Democrat, K–12 “nanny state” schooling, trillion-dollar welfare, and a faux “capitalism” that quietly rewards the ruling class and squeezes the poor and middle. Then they flip the script and outline how to raise children who fear God, reject statist dependence, embrace family economy, work hard, and overflow in generosity instead of entitlement.

Were the “Dark Ages” really dark—or were they the centuries when the gospel quietly transformed Europe?

The dads confront the modern “gentle parenting” movement head-on, arguing that its rejection of authority, restraint, and negative consequences has produced fragile families and weakened churches. Looking at Eli, David, and their sons, they show why Scripture insists that love includes rebuke, chastening, confession, and consistency. They discuss how to discipline without anger, how to correct while maintaining relationship, how to set wise family rules, and why children thrive inside clear boundaries. A needed re-alignment of grace and truth for Christian fathers.

Christian Nation or Neutral Myth? – Why “Under God” Still Matters

Is “Christian nationalism” just a scary label—or is it simply what happens when Christians take Christ’s lordship over every area of life seriously? Kevin and Bill discuss the latest polling on Christian nationalism, expose the myth of “neutral” pluralism, and show why every law system rests on a god and a worldview. From Saudi Arabia to Samoa to Washington, D.C., they argue that nations either acknowledge the Triune God or drift into humanistic anarchy—and that declarations alone aren’t enough without repentance, justice, and obedience to God’s law.

More than half of Americans now believe alien life exists—and many Christians are quietly wondering if UFOs might fit somewhere in their theology. In this episode, Kevin and Bill tackle the UFO craze head-on: the math behind life “by chance,” the implications of Christ dying once for all, and the way alien fascination so easily becomes a distraction from evangelism, discipleship, and the worship of the living God.

Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack dig into the occult’s promise—“you shall be as God”—and how it surfaces in feminist theology, pop fantasy, and even science divorced from the fear of the Lord.

Most Christians sense that something has gone deeply wrong with manhood in the modern world. Nancy Pearcey joins Kevin to trace how the Industrial Revolution fractured family life, displaced men from the household, and created generations of isolation, escapism, and identity-confusion. Drawing from The Toxic War on Masculinity, she explains how Christianity once formed strong men—faithful husbands, sacrificial fathers, producers not consumers—and how it can again. If the family once broke, it can also be rebuilt. Christ renews men, restores homes, and makes possible a future stronger than the past.

Fear of God or Fear of Man – Obergefell, Dobbs, and a Nation on Trial

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Roe falls, Obergefell stands—what does that say about America? In this episode, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack walk through Justice Alito’s recent appeal to stare decisis on same-sex “marriage,” contrasting the Court’s insistence on reciprocity for homosexual unions with its refusal to extend similar protections to pro-life laws. They trace how sexual autonomy has become the crown jewel of modern humanism, why opposition to homosexuality now draws more hostility than opposition to abortion, and how Republicans have largely abandoned God’s law on both fronts. The conclusion is sobering: a nation that rejects God’s standards and celebrates death—whether through kill-pill abortions or sterile unions—stands under His judgment. The only faithful response is to recover the fear of God in our homes and discipleship.

They contrast programmatic church life with a truly relational culture, call dads to trade overstuffed sports schedules for intentional Sundays around the table, and show how widows, orphans, missionaries, and lonely saints fit into the weekly calendar.

New survey data shows homeschool grads choose hard work over money (54% vs. 19%), marry more often (65% vs. 44%), welcome more children (2.5 vs. 1.7), and are nearly three times more likely to attend church and read Scripture. Kevin and Danny revisit the “socialization” question, highlight the family economy tradeoffs (often one income), and encourage moms and dads in the trenches: keep the aim on faith and character, not just factoring trinomials.

Nigeria's Bloodshed - Cruelty of Nations

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Cruel laws, cruel outcomes. Kevin and Bill discuss nations and states that have become “self-conscious in their cruelty,” then urges presidents, parliaments, and pastors alike to act within their God-given lanes: the magistrate to restrain murder; the church to preach Christ crucified, pray, and love enemies—calling all to turn while there’s time.

Plastic-Dashboard Jesus – How Culture Crowns Idols and Mutes the King

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

A “cultural Jesus” gets applause—until His words confront our idols. Kevin and Bill trace the Super Bowl’s halftime “sermon,” the Pentatonix surrogacy celebration, and Ezekiel 22’s warning to a people who blur holy and unholy. They urge believers to stop approving wickedness, discern method from message, and call our neighbors to Christ, not cultural Christianity.

How to Find Titus 2 Mentors - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Programs don’t disciple people—people do. The dads map a Titus 2 pathway out of isolation: become teachable, pursue proximity (real life, not just YouTube), ask older saints for prayer and counsel, and practice simple follow-up that builds trust. With Ephesians 4 and Romans 12:10 in view, they show men how to find mentors, husbands how to help wives connect with older women, and churches how to trade crisis-care for everyday preventive discipleship.

Band-Aids on a Hemorrhage – Why Government Can’t Fix the Drug Crisis

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

America’s fentanyl crisis reveals a deeper sickness: the soul without God. Kevin and Bill confront the worldview that treats man as cosmic dust, debate the proper jurisdiction of church and state, and point to Christ as the only One who can heal hearts and nations. Revival, not regulation, is the cure for a despairing people.

Preparing to Shepherd - What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Want faithful pastors? Start where Scripture starts: 2 Timothy 2:2. Instead of head-only training, build a head–heart–hands pathway inside the local church—2–3 years of life-on-life mentorship, character testing, real evangelism and shepherding, with academics as ~20% of the whole. Kevin and Josh outline qualifications before credentials, how churches can “bring seminary home,” and the practical steps for young men and elders to build a pipeline that multiplies effective shepherds.

Sola Scriptura at Home – Why the Reformers Rebuilt the Family

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Why did the Reformers upend Europe? Because God’s Word belongs in the common tongue—and in common homes. From Tyndale’s plowboy to Knox’s “church in the house,” Kevin, Scott, and Danny show how Scripture reshaped family life, restored marriage, and redirected education. The stakes remain: man-centered modernity or God-centered discipleship in every sphere.

When Men Step Back - The Vacuum of Manhood

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

When men lose vision, leadership doesn’t disappear—it shifts. Kevin and Bill trace our “Deborah days,” where women step in because men step back, and connect the dots from feminized politics and syncretic religion to cultural instability. The remedy is as old as Scripture: train fathers to shepherd, pastors to model, and churches to disciple—so healthy homes grow healthy elders, and healthy elders grow a healthy nation.

Westminster, Knox, and a Counterfeit Gospel – A Funeral for Anglicanism?

England’s thousand-year legacy won’t be saved by sentiment. With stories from pulpits and political dinners alike, the hosts show why “keep the culture, lose the creed” always ends in sand. The path back is narrow and non-negotiable: Scripture alone, Christ alone, repentance that bears fruit, and churches bright enough that no one mistakes darkness for light.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

A clash of values has made Gen Z “hard to hire,” but the deeper crisis is meaning. Materialism bred burnout; escapism bred emptiness. What works?

Kevin and Josh trace the pledge’s history, weigh “honor the emperor” (1 Pet. 2:17) alongside “we must obey God rather than men,” and unpack whether “under God,” “indivisible,” and “liberty and justice for all” are descriptions or aspirations. The takeaway: apply Romans 14 liberty to Romans 13 duty—fear God first, then honor where honor is due.

Recovering Biblical Worship — Psalms, Reverence, and Joy from Sunday to Saturday

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What is worship—and why do the Psalms belong at the center of it? Kevin Swanson talks with Pastor Jonathan Landry Cruz about the Bible’s own songbook, how to “serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling,” and why corporate worship breathes life into private and family worship. Steps for families and pastors include pre-reading texts, learning the week’s hymns at home, and giving children confessional anchors they can say by heart. We look at lament, joy, and spiritual formation through Psalm-singing, and point you to practical resources for your church and household.

How to End Child Killing in America – From Incrementalism to Repentance

Abortion “reform” sounds civilized—until you run the thought experiment. If a mother hires an assassin to kill her 9-month-old outside the womb, would we certify the killer, add counseling, or simply cut a check? In this episode we expose the logic of incrementalism, call pastors to preach the whole counsel of God, and press for real justice under Romans 13. Defund the blood money. Prosecute the crime. Repentance, not half-measures, is how nations heal.

Taylor Swift is the biggest pop phenomenon since Michael Jackson, 117 Guinness World Records, the successor of the Beatles . . . and on and on the accolades go. She is pro-abortion, pro-gay, but most importantly, "pro-me." She represents the current "I feel" zeitgeist better than anything. The me-centered, feelings-dominated modern male and female appreciate the worship services led by Taylor Swift—89,000 at a time.

Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns – Best of Generations

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

It's post-modern. It's hip. It's new. It's "contemporary." It's a revolution! Over the last 30 years, we have seen a total revolution of the music in the Church, representing a radical cultural change more significant than anything seen in at least 500 years! Is this a good thing or bad thing? Now, there is an important question – a one billion dollar question. Does this radical change in culture and music indicate a wonderful reformation and revival in the church, among our teens, or is it just more of the breakdown of the institution of the family, generational continuity, and culture. Is it a breakdown of the faith? Dr. T. David Gordon, professor of Religion and Greek at Grove City College addresses these questions with a thoughtful new book, “Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns,” and he interacts with host Kevin Swanson on this edition of Generations.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What does the Bible say about alcohol? How about smoking? It can be easy for Christians to fall into one of two ditches: legalism or anti-nomianism. However, while fundamentalist Christians are worried about things like drinking, smoking, or dancing, they tend to ignore the problem of gluttony. On the other side, while wanting to enjoy alcohol, entertainment, etc, do these things start to take the place of true joy and fulfillment, which can only be obtained through God?

What Does the Bible Say About Ecumenism? – Roman Catholicism, the Gospel of Grace, and First-Order Doctrines

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

If unity is a virtue, does that mean Protestants should embrace ecumenism with Roman Catholics? What about when first-order doctrines like the Trinity and salvation by grace through faith are at stake? This episode asks whether cooperation in politics is different from unity in the church, and whether the “least common denominator” approach to Christianity actually undermines the gospel itself. From Galatians to John 3:16, the conversation highlights the danger of watering down truth, the insufficiency of works-based systems, and the urgent call to evangelize with a gospel that is all of grace, all of Christ, and all of Scripture.

Strongmen or Statesmen? — Free Speech, Licensing, and the Fight for a Free Press

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0400

A late-night jab reignites a bigger debate: Who polices speech in America? This episode traces the line between sins and crimes, argues against government licensing of media, and defends freedom of conscience under the First Amendment. We contrast “strongman” instincts with a biblical model that honors authority, rejects vengeance, and fights bad ideas with better ones—through open debate, market pressure, and the light of God’s Word. From David, Nathan, and Shimei to today’s media oligarchs and the internet’s “Babel effect,” the case is made for liberty over tyranny and persuasion over censorship.

Forgiveness vs. Fury — Charlie Kirk’s Legacy, Trump’s Words, and the Call to Love Our Enemies

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

A memorial service for Charlie Kirk reached hundreds of thousands in person and tens of millions worldwide, delivering a clear gospel message for hours on end. The most striking moment came when his wife publicly forgave her husband’s assassin—an act that revealed the supernatural power of the gospel. Yet, the event also highlighted America’s sacred–secular divide, with some leaders expressing a spirit of vengeance rather than forgiveness. Will this moment spark revival and reformation in a nation teetering between pride and repentance, division and unity?

What Does the Bible Say About Artificial Intelligence? - Heightened Dangers for Christians and All

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

If the internet has been dangerous and counterproductive to human life on planet earth, what about Artificial Intelligence? Is it dangerous? Is it deceptive? Is it potentially destructive? Could it destroy the world? After we are done with our list of cautions, is there anything worth salvaging here for human life on planet earth? What does the Bible say about artificial intelligence? At base, this is a worldview question. It is a Colossians 2:8 concern. We ask the question first — how does AI handle the normative, the existential, the situational, and the teleological? If poorly, how quickly might AI lead one astray!

Will our leadership find ways to unify the nation on the most incendiary issues — Kill-Pill by Mail and Transgenderism? But then, the anti-Christian agenda is erupting into violence as well.

Navigating Church Conflict with Grace and Grit - Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Conflict in the church is inevitable—but how we respond reveals the depth of our maturity and love for Christ. In this episode, the Discipleship for Dads panel tackles real-life examples of church conflict, from failed courtships to playground drama, and offers gospel-centered wisdom for navigating turbulent waters. Why do so many believers jump ship at the first sign of trouble? And how can we become less easily offended, more humble, and truly committed to unity in the body of Christ? The panel uses vivid metaphors and practical examples to remind us: the goal is not to avoid the rapids—but to stay in the boat together and grow stronger on the other side.

Forms and art are a reflection of several key aspects of society, including the amount of common grace at work in and inherited by a society, and of course the prevalent worldview in the minds of those creating the art. So what should a Christian think about classical music produced by composers like Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn? What does the Bible have to say about forms, and how do the principles of honor, chaos and order, and not eating things offered to idols tie into the discussion?

Why the Compulsory Attendance Law - The Enemy Wants Your Children

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

A few nations have shut down homeschooling entirely, and others are about to follow suit. Parents do not have the choice. This year, at least one state wants to impose a DEI program on homeschoolers. Where did this compulsory attendance law come from, and what is the worldview that requires state control of the children? Before Jean-Jacques Rousseau there was Prussia and Christian Wolfe; and Wolfe lived up to his name. We analyze the Pelagian view of man that infected the lapsed Christians of Germany and America in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

The US is divided ideologically like never before, and the schism has metastasized into a high-profile assassination on a college campus, with the death of Charlie Kirk (which occurred as we recorded the program). We recognize the courage and faith of Charlie Kirk, who fought some of the same battles we have engaged through the years.

The new Axis has formed. But, what are the contrasts in values represented by both sides — China/Russia/North Korea and the US/Europe. Authoritarians take the first position. On the other side we find divisive woke, sexual perversion, feminism, individualist ethical autonomy, and birth implosions. Are these values worth fighting for? Europe has lost the will to carry on a civilization by the birth canal. What does this imply for the battlefield? These are critical geopolitical questions.

The Legacy of Dr. James Dobson - A Paradigm of Courage, Sacrifice, and Faith Under Fire

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

He was hated, maligned, and marginalized. His enemies kicked dirt over his grave. His own people turned on him. He dared to discipline in a permissive society. He dared to defy the zeitgeist, and to take the battle to the devil’s back yard. He fought back against abortion and sexual perversion when everybody knew it would be a losing battle. He spent his wad advocating a highly marginalized homeschool movement, opposing godless public schools, and fighting abortion. He pushed for Christian legal defense organizations in an anti-Christian age. Dr. James Dobson was the man for the day — a quarterback fighting for every inch he could get, when pushed back to his own 5 yard line. He fought for a country through Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell. He fought to save a civilization. . . a losing battle. He lost the pro-life plank. He lost the pornography battle. He lost the war on sexual perversion. But the point is. . .he fought with courage the whole way. Here is our tribute to Dr. James Dobson (1936-2025).

Fantasy and horror can be extremely dangerous for children. And, if parents can’t distinguish between the demonic and the godly in fantasy novels, they sign their kids up for some pretty horrible stuff. Serial killers, Richard Ramirez, David Berkowitz, Adolf Constanzo, Sean Sellers, Henry Lee Lucas, and others have admitted to influence from Satanic materials and movies.

Superman 2025 - Woke, Anarchy, Existentialism, and Post-Modern Relativism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Superman is the biggest blockbuster of the summer, and yes, there’s a little wokie-ness throughout. But, the real issue is the worldview tug-of-war between polytheism and raw humanist-existentialism. Kansas dad and Krypton dad are arguing it out, but really, they’re both wrong. Discerning these major motion pictures requires pretty highly-calibrated worldview glasses and an ear for the internal contradictions. But would a 14-year-old kid discern it, or just meld right into it?

Leaving and Cleaving Well - What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Normatively, only a very small percentage of people stay single their entire lives. So how do men and women leave and cleave well when it’s time to establish their own households? How do we interact with the ideas of patriarchy, emancipation, and jurisdictions for in-laws, spouses, and grandparents? How do we apply the fifth commandment to honor our parents as we leave and cleave? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow address this topic on this edition of Generations.

Technology—How Is a Family to Use It? - Redeeming the Time

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

According to a study done in 2016, the average adult spends 10 hours and 32 minutes on unproductive media per day, and it’s only increasing. The effects of this poor handling of technology are evident everywhere. Human relationships in families, churches, and communities are increasingly shallow, short-lived, broken, or non-existent today. There is no time for worshipping God. Modern technology is taking dominion over man, despite God’s call for man to take dominion and redeem the time. Yet, we know there is also a proper use of technology. So what are the solutions to the problems of tech, and what is the right use of the tool? How is a family to use it wisely? Chris Kasper from wisephone.com joins us on this edition of the program to discuss these and other questions.

A New Axis Is Forming - Geo-political Earth Shiftings

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0400

A new Axis is forming for the first time since the cold war, or really, since the 1940s. Iran, China, India, Russia, and North Korea are collecting forces. They equal the US economy now, and all of them have nukes (almost). Tensions are growing, and alliances are developing stronger every day. But what do Proverbs 22:7 and 14:28 have to do with it? Will the West lose this one? That depends on whether God’s wisdom is still relevant.

Cultivating a Love For the Church – Discipleship for Dads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 03:55:00 -0400

A huge percentage of Christian children are leaving the church. There is no greater joy than to see one's children walking in the truth. However, a big part of flourishing spiritually has to do with cultivating a love for the body of Christ. How can fathers encourage their children in this way? A dad's priorities often become his children's priorities. Does the church play an important role in your life, or is it just a club you go to on Sundays?

Immigration, Welfare, and the Ruin of Nations - “They Send Us Their Worst”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 01:15:00 -0400

Will we save a nation by closing borders? What in the world could possibly salvage a post-Christian Europe—where church attendance scrapes 2 percent? Half of London’s church attendees are immigrants. So how will closing the borders save the nation? Shall we surrender the culture to atheists or Muslims? Tough call. While the Scripture is strong on providing opportunities for “strangers” to engage in trade and be treated favorably under the law, the civil magistrate has a responsibility to defend the nation from criminals entering the borders. But the ultimate solutions are not so much found at the borders as much as in cleaning up our own backyard.

Righteousness Exalts a Nation - When Nations Obey God’s Laws

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:17:00 -0400

The civil government is given a responsibility by God, but hasn’t followed through on it well since the 1920s. Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:4 are clear. The trend was set in the wrong direction in 1846, largely due to the influence of one, John O’Sullivan. His worldview was dead wrong. We touch on the gradation of priorities set before the civil magistrate by God, according to the standards of biblical law. Which national governments are doing better than others?

The rising tide of antisemitism and wars in the Middle East bring the question of the nation of Israel to the forefront in the minds of many Christians. We ask the question, “What does the Bible say about that?” But our real task here is to train us all how to handle the trunk and the leaves, the quarrelsome and the questionable, the divisive and the controversial, the camels and gnats in theology. While we may not answer all the questions that various Christian sects would prefer us answer, we stick to core issues here as a matter of principle.

It is the most generous and most powerful nation, and still has a strong Christian influence at work in the 21st century.

How to Lead Your Family - Being Prophets, Priests, and Kings in Our Homes

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 03:02:00 -0400

One of the biggest crying needs of the day is a faith continuity from one generation to the next. There’s nothing more important than seeing the hearts of fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of children turning to the fathers. This is prayer burden—asking for the Spirit to work through our families and churches, and to bring repentance.

The US Government is buying back its own bonds. Scott Bessent is following in the footsteps of John Maynard Keynes. Senator Josh Hawley is pushing for raising the minimum wage. But while the government redistributes the wealth (largely from the middle class to the lower class), wealth disparity is increasing because Federal Reserve policies will always favor the rich. The shell game is impossible for the average person to follow. But suffice it to say, some animals turn out to be more equal than others. But why not just trust God, and run the economy by biblical principles and honest money?

The most atheistic nations in the world are not all communist. They are all man worshippers and money worshippers. But how did they get that way? What are their roots? And why did they reject the Christian faith? Both North and South Korea made the list but for different reasons. Ideas, education, and books will make the difference and inform a nation’s worldview. The most atheistic nation in the world is not China or North Korea. It’s the Czech Republic.

Help! My Pastor & Church Are Big on Harry Potter (And We’re Not) - Navigating Church Disagreements on Pop Culture: What Does the Bible Say About That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 03:24:00 -0400

Here’s another segment on “What Does the Bible Say About That?” How does the church get on with disagreements on Harry Potter, witchcraft, homosexuality, and vampirism? First, you’ve got to hate the world (the world’s system) and love the brother. Too often, we’ve got it the other way around. There’s too much love for the world and too little love for the brother. We recommend asking questions, achieving agreement on the principle level, gaining unity on goals, and engaging the hard-core worldview war against the world in the movie theater as well as the university philosophy classroom.

How to Wonder at the Wonderful - The Wonder of God’s Creation

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 01:01:00 -0400

We have lost two important things in modern life—wonder and rest. How have we missed the most important things? This happens largely through diversion and distraction, neither of which make life all that wonderful. Eryn Lynum helps us with reintroducing wonder and seeing God’s fingerprints on His works of creation.

Parents who Mutilate Their Children - Why Harming Children Is Wrong

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:26:00 -0400

The conscience of a nation awakened for a moment when the bodies of 800 dead babies were discovered in a septic tank at a nun-run operation in Ireland. But what about the other 100,000,000 babies flushed into septic tanks around the world last year? But then, the UK parliament just voted to allow late-term abortions, while everybody was up in arms over 800 dead babies buried in the septic tank. Hypocrisy runs thick. We also find a biblical basis for the US Supreme Court decision on a Tennessee law that forbids parents from mutilating (i.e. transgendering) their children for life. Parental rights only go so far.

Our concern is not so much the tattoos, but the worldviews of self-definition, existentialism, isolationism, and bondage. Our concern is much less tattoos, but more so God’s tattoo.

Average marriage age for women has increased from 21 to 29 over just a few decades. What’s a girl to do in her single years? Christian young women aren’t interested in the Lalaland purpose for life. They’re looking forward to developing more of a family economy in the future. They want to employ the talents, hone the gifts, and prepare for the future. They would rather serve others, build relationships, and deny self than to serve self. How is this to be done given the challenges of the modern socio-economic conditions? There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so we are going with a young women’s panel for this one on Generations.

Christians in the World - Pushed Out of the Game

Back in the early 2000s, there was a rising persecuting force against Christians in America, but as of now, it has gotten much worse. When it comes to addressing the sin of homosexuality and transgenderism in particular, the push-back against Christians who are expressing their faith and speaking the truth is intense. It's good for Christians to remember that if the world of lust and pride doesn't love you, this is a good position to be in. A Christian's values lie in the truth of God's Word, while the world passes away with the lusts thereof.

Euthanasia is gaining steam around the Western world. Every birth-imploding, abortion-saturated nation is moving in this direction, with both American and the post-Christian European nations opening the door to it one after another. Unless there’s a shift in the churches, there will be no avoiding the holocaust of mass euthanasia that is coming. So what is the worldview behind euthanasia? How should we view suffering and the purpose of suffering? Are we really in a position to determine what the long-term effects of a particular action will be and to declare that those effects will bring about ultimate good? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the topic of euthanasia on this edition of the program.

Twenty-nine states have brought in vouchers, tax credits, etc., for students over the last several years.

The minute we get something good going, the devil is always on the next train . . . or the government. What the government funds, the government controls. And despite the continual drop in the approval rating for the public schools, the vouchers aren’t helping people get their kids out of the public institutions: those attending private schools barely increased 0.35 percent over 10 years. So what gives? Is there a depreciating love for children? The bottom line is that we need the hearts of parents turned to their children, and those of the children turned to their parents. We need a miracle.

Colorado Turning Tyrannical – The World View News in Review

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 05 May 2025 10:05:00 -0400

HB1312 is a bill in Colorado that goes against parental rights, essentially criminalizing parents for disagreeing with their children's gender identity and affirming transgenderism. Too few pastors are showing up and concerned about this bill. While God will fight for us, we need to show up in support of God's Law and with the courage to oppose the wicked.

Discipleship in a Boat - Doing What Jesus Did

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 02 May 2025 00:11:00 -0400

The root of the battle in this nation primarily lies in the area of education and the seminaries. There’s been a 26-percent drop-off of MDiv students over the last 20 years, with the number of men pursuing MDivs dropping by 22 percent, and the number of women dropping off by 33 percent. But while the seminary attendance has dropped by 26 percent overall, the number of seminaries has increased by 20 percent. This means the smaller seminaries are growing and expanding across the country. We’re getting back into the discipleship boat with Jesus. You can’t mass-produce discipleship. You can’t over-specialize discipleship. Instead, we must bring our focus back the Bible as the foundation of all of our knowledge, and bring back relationships, one at a time.

True Revival - Signs of God’s Work in Individuals and Churches

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 01 May 2025 02:01:00 -0400

Revival is one of the biggest crying needs of the day. There is an overwhelming need for spiritual revisiting, for Holy Spirit life in our families and churches. While we’ve seen “revivals” in our day, it is nothing like the revivals of reformation times, or those in the 1700s. So what are the signs of real revival? Is it emotional? Or is it the result of true hunger for the Word and prayer? Kevin Swanson interviews Clint Stoltzfus on his new book, Revive Us: Prayers & Promises for Those in Need of Revival, on this edition of the program.

The Most Egregious Moral Downfall – Does God Only Judge Messy Abortions?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0400

The kill pill is one of the most egregious moral downfalls in America, killing thousands of babies every year. Recently, it has been discovered that 10 percent of women taking the kill pill suffer serious complications. These discoveries are what have everyone concerned, but is the health of the mother more important than the life of the baby? Where was the concern for the babies being murdered? The kill pill is a clean method of murdering a baby, but God doesn't care how clean the methods are. He will judge every abortion equally.

Hypocrisy in America – Choosing Which of God's Laws to Follow

Hypocrisy is present all over. In the government, while transgenderism is too far, the Trump administration continues to appoint many homosexuals to positions of power. In Maryland, Muslim and Christian parents are complaining that their children are being subjected to learning about LGBTQ themes. However, if you are going to submit your children to humanism in the public school system, then you have to sign up for sexual autonomy too. And, if God's Word isn't part of everything about a child's life, you will raise hypocrites as well.

How do you determine when to leave a church, and when you do leave, how should you leave the church? This is an important topic that all Christians need to address. The church is the family of God, and, even though so many have lost the importance of the church and what it means to God, Christians who truly love God will also love His church. It's important to work through conflicts with brothers and sisters. Don't judge others by externals. Focus on the foundation.

How Do We Make America Great Again? - MAHA: Make America Humble Again

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 02:05:00 -0400

All the indices seem to point to the fact that America is in decline instead of becoming great again. China is currently the strongest nation economically, not America. America is slipping because of the character of the nation. The lack of character is affecting our economy, our culture, and our society. If America will be great again, what needs to happen to us? Will imposing tariffs, stopping emigration, and firing federal workers be enough? There is some merit to some of these things. But ultimately, it has to do with the fundamentals. We have to see a restoration of the gospel and people repenting of their sins and turning to Jesus. We need to see America becoming humble again.

The international birth rate has been cut in half since 1950. The US birth rate has gone from 3.4 to 1.7 within this most recent generation, and the average evangelical church has a birth rate just above the national average. The result is that we’re looking at the largest demographic shift since the world-wide flood. We’re living in a self-centered age that is all about “me,” which isn’t helping either. Do Christians need to look different from the world on the issue of birth control? What is the difference between birth control and conception control? Is conception control Biblically allowed?

Property Taxes, Marxism, and Liberty - Steps to Reversing the Tyranny

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 01:57:00 -0400

Property tax is crucial to the communist, Marxist agenda, which became entrenched in American between roughly 1845 and 1890. The end result is that we’re living under some of the most severe tyrannies of all time today. Until about 1913, taxes never exceeded 7 percent of the people’s income—including during the Roman Empire. Now we see tax rates of 40, 50, and 60 percent. But a movement to decrease property taxes seems to be sweeping the nation, starting with states like Wyoming. So, what is a proper tax rate, according to God? What principles should guide what the government collects from the people?

The Nature of God

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 02:54:00 -0400

Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z’s who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in churches today in favor of more “relevant” topics, the 20-minute homily, and the 40-minute music program. But not being grounded in the most basic doctrines makes one susceptible to false teachers. So how do we overcome this as we raise the next generation? First, check the foundations and worldview of everything you and your children participate in. Give your children a proper worldview as you teach them, and then instruct them on how to cast down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself above Christ.

The gender confusion of today ultimately stems from gender role confusion and the feminist movement of the 1960s. God has set boundaries for each gender, and removing those only leads to disaster. So where do we go from here? The key is to get back to Biblical definitions of God’s roles for both men and women.

The Chinese Church and Abortion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:12:00 -0500

China may very well have grown to the largest Christian church population on Earth, but China has a problem! One hundred million people make up a growing, thriving church in China except for one little problem — they kill their children. Some churches even pay for abortions. The conscience of this nation is dead cold with respect to human life, and the Christian church isn't helping much. But what can these Christians do? The first pro-life ministry in China is being launched, and this may be one of the most important Christian needs on the earth today. Kevin Swanson interviews an insider who has first-hand information on the inner workings of the house church movement (representing some 100 million people). This remarkable interview statuses one of the most important developments for the kingdom of God in the 21st century.

Who Are Our Heroes?

Andrew Tate, a prominent figure who is currently under arrest in Romania, encourages sexual sin and appears to have a great deal of disdain for women. He has become especially popular lately among men. Tate could be the most well-known influencer when it comes to male audiences. However, as Christian men approach these topics, they should ask themselves: Who should our role models be? Should Christian men be those who sacrifice themselves for women or leave a trail of fatherless babies everywhere they go? People are not to be used and abused, but valued and loved.

Currently, welfare programs in the U.S. are being used by a large number of illegal immigrants. How does the Word of God speak to immigration, and what should be the balance between justice and mercy? Liberals prefer to ignore the fact that sin is everywhere, and choose to believe that all humans are basically good. However, to do this is to consign the world to chaos.

Wheaton Students Vote Pro-Abortion

The Biden-Trump voting pattern at that evangelical flagship, Wheaton College, was . . . 48 percent to 40 percent. That’s a total loss for the president, Phillip Ryken. We take a look at Ryken’s book on biblical ethics and find a fatal flaw. Should the board clean house on the professors, or remove half the student body who vote for the most committed pro-abortion candidates ever to run for the top offices?

Our world is an individualized world, with more access to pornography than ever before. However, Jesus came to save us from our sin. Instead of breeding an environment of condemnation, shame, and guilt, it's important to have a culture of open communication and confession in the home, especially when it comes to sexual sin.

There is a potential for scientists today to lean into experiments that promote a “brave new world,” including creating transgender animals, making orphans by experiments with embryos, and using synthetic wombs to avoid raising children in a familial environment. At the same time, science has the capacity to heal certain diseases and make it possible for babies to live when they might have died otherwise. What we need are scientists who fear God and who are willing to apply Biblical ethics to the world of science.

Having the Spirit is essential to having new life in Christ. So what does it mean practically to walk in the Spirit, pray in the Spirit, and keep in step with the Spirit in our day to day? How do we avoid grieving or quenching the Spirit? We also know that God is sovereign over the events in each person’s life and in the world, but man is also responsible—yet God ordains the means as well as the end. So how can prayer change the mind of God if He already knows what will happen? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow address these questions and more on this edition of Generations.

Pop culture is still deconstructing in America. Sean Diddy Combs led the modern extreme abuse-language culture of the 1990s, but the piper has invoiced, and it’s about over for him. Kanye West left the faith. Rushing Simon the Sorcerer to the front of the auditorium to take the pulpit just three months after he’s baptized is not a very good idea. Interestingly, pop music icons became the pastors of the modern evangelical church during the 2010s and early 2020s. Not smart.

Eccentric Cults and the Fallout

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Isolation. Exclusivism. The sovereignty of man. Fixated on external practices. A rejection of the historical church. This is what has characterized eccentric cults over the years. But, the fallout from gross heterodoxy and hypocrisy can be severe. But the biggest cult of all is the post-Christian, anti-Christian worldview indoctrination into atheism and humanism. This brought about a sexual revolution that did more damage than anybody could have ever imagined.

A Setback for the Left

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 09:13:00 -0500

The left has taken a big setback, while the more libertarian side got a front seat in the 2024 elections. DEI, woke, the transgender crowd, and the feminists have all fainted in the bleachers. The MSM missed the game, and it’s pretty much over now for the CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS monopoly over the minds of the American public. The tower of Babel is crumbling into some strange pieces.

Generational Faith in Homeschools

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Homeschooling is no panacea, and exceptional challenges are present here and there . . . but homeschooling still introduces the most positive news in Western Christianity—when it comes to generational faith. Another comprehensive study just released confirms that homeschooling is two times to four times more effective than Christian schools for passing on the faith. Here Kevin Swanson and Dr. Brian Ray (president, National Home Education Research Institute, www.nheri.org) review these outstanding comparisons between homeschooling and Catholic and Protestant schools. The Cardus study confirms the initial results we obtained with the Gen-2 study done ten years ago.

The Man Who Shot Himself

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 10:17:00 -0500

Kevin and Bill discuss the importance of ideas, worldview, and art in culture. Tom T. Hall, a country singer and a nihilist, wrote a song entitled “The Man Who Shot Himself,” then ended up shooting himself and committing suicide over 40 years after the song came out. Ideas are powerful things. The habits and patterns that are set in younger years will affect the later years of our lives. This is why it is vital that we remember and fear God in the days of our youth, and separate ourselves from self-destructive art, lest we move into despair and nihilism.

Abortion by Mail

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 09:00:00 -0500

A CEO of a big insurance company was recently murdered. This has been a priority issue for the news channels lately. However, why won't the news cover the thousands of babies that have been murdered in the womb? Meanwhile, Trump continues to double down on his lack of concern for the abortion issue. Abortion pills are being made available for sale in all 50 states, and the killing of babies continues unchecked. America needs to repent before it's too late.

College Closings, Infertility, and the Pell Grant

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 09:00:00 -0500

American fertility has dropped 21 percent in 14 years, and another 4 percent since 2021 (post-Dobbs). That’s 72,000 more babies lost every year to either abortion, abortifacients, or some other means. Expect another 80 colleges to close in the next few years. Already, 1,660 colleges have closed, and more are to come. That’s bad news for the blue left, but good news for the red right in this country, assuming the university is the cause of birth implosions and the bad worldviews that undermine the nation and human society in general. It’s a self-immolating vision for the left.

Joe Biden’s Pardon for Son

US President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on several firearms charges, but what does the Bible say about gun registrations and partiality in government policy? Will the president release everybody else convicted of crimes for violating unconstitutional and tyrannical gun laws? While the liberal governments violate the liberties of millions, they allow murderers to run free on the streets. What is the role of government as dictated by the Lord of lords? After all, civil magistrates are servants of God.

Rising Influence of Hinduism in the West

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Anti-Christian, post-Christian America and the UK are turning towards polytheism and Hinduism as the operating religion, with Hindus and Muslims filling the void where the Christian faith has been abandoned. Hindus are also increasingly taking over Western governments, currently making up 0.7 percent of the U.S. population but roughly 10 percent of Trump’s appointees. Hinduism is polytheistic and hopeless. It has a confused ethic and views reality as an illusion. There is no value for the individual. So where will our nations go as Hindus increasingly take over Western governments? How do we restore the stability of the nation? It must start with true discipleship, revival, and repentance.

Let’s define our terms carefully here, and not allow the world to govern our conceptions by their own definitions and terms. Can we blame all the troubles of the failure of Christian faith and the loss of liberties, etc. upon a particular ethnic group? Or, would it be better to humble ourselves and identify the real problem?

If you think America has lost faith, family, and freedom, or any semblance of a biblical worldview over the last fifty years, you ought to check out other nations like England, Scotland, or Australia! Yet, there seems to be a tiny remnant hanging on to relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. We found a family in Australia who has more than 1.4 children, is reintegrating family relationships, and understands the Christian mandate to apply God's Word to all areas of thought and life. Kevin Swanson interviews Joseph Stephen, a homeschooling father of six and author of several books, on this segment of Generations.

Keynesian Economics

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 09:00:00 -0500

American federal debt is growing faster than the GDP now. This year, the debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 121 percent. . . about fifth worst in the world. Interest payments on the federal debt have topped 36 percent of total tax receipts. And all of this has its roots in the Keynesian philosophies of the early 1920’s and 30’s. The present-orientedness, existentialism, and the ideology of Jean-Paul Sartre and John Maynard Keynes are what ran the 20th century and helped produce what we have today. So how much character would it require to reverse the worldview that has soaked our respective nations over the last 50-60 years? How much long-term vision would it take to turn the nation around? Probably a little more than what Elon Musk and Scott Bessett can offer. We review President Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Treasury and revisit the history of modern economics on this edition of the program.

Ukrainians currently live in a 9/11 situation, and have been for three years straight now. South Africans live life in a prison-camp-like, totalitarian, and socialist country. Meanwhile, America, because of the effect of the Protestant Reformation, has been blessed with peace, wealth, and much freedom. It's good to have the right perspective, thanking God for the place and time in which He has placed us. Gratefulness should characterize a Christian's life. Happy Thanksgiving!

The survey is in for the 2024 US election prioritization of issues for the voters. Democrat voters want to kill babies. And Republican voters want money, and they don’t care much about this matter of killing babies. Only about 10 percent of American voters are pro-life voters. And, 30 percent of American voters are pro-abortion voters. How can we turn 10 percent into 30 percent? The pro-life position is a losing proposition at that rate. The battle, however, is fought and won (or lost) in the seminaries, the churches, and the schools. But the political elections provide a barometer on the heart of the nation.

When can we defend our property by shooting all violators? We look at Wyatt Earp and the shootout at the OK Corral. Then, we draw on biblical law on these matters. The Bible allows for family defense, but not so much for vigilantism and vengeance killings. The highest divorce rates on the US map still show up in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah. What is it about the rural areas in the West that contribute to a breakdown of the family covenant? Rugged individualism is the ultimatization of self . . . and destroys covenant relationships.

Pro-lifers, Christian homeschool dads, and election questioners are getting three to nine years in prison these days. Here's yet another story taken from a highly reliable source we need to share with our listening audience.

Cautionary Points on Classical Education

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 09:36:00 -0400

We may appreciate the trivium, or a careful study of history, or the great literature . . . but is it a Christ-centered history or a man-centered history? Is it pagan literature, or Christian literature? These are extremely critical questions with which Christian parents must grapple. Their children’s souls are at stake in regards to these matters. Here are some cautionary notes concerning classical education. The reintroduction of Greek humanism into the universities in the 1300s killed the faith once. Then again, the right-wing and left-wing enlightenment turned back to the Greeks in the 1700s—killing the Protestant faith. The same thing is happening today with a return to a humanistic epistemology and ethic. Bottom line, there isn’t nearly enough careful worldview discernment . . . among those classical teachers who have had their training in liberal arts from public schools, non-discerning Christian schools, and left-wing Christian liberal arts colleges.

European Anti-Christian Politics

We’re currently witnessing the breakdown of Europe in our day. Islam is taking over, and the goal, as defined by France’s president, is to eliminate religion completely. Many European countries are significantly post-Christian, and America is starting to follow. Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus compare European and American politics on this edition of the program.

Another pastor in Dallas is removed from his position because of an “inappropriate relationship.” One blogster counts 16 scandals in Dallas churches just this year, including 4-5 high profiles. What is the Spirit saying to the churches? Where are the honest confessions, the humble repentances, and the churches still with some integrity to them? When it comes to inappropriate relationships, what does this mean? Inappropriate in the eyes of the world? Inappropriate in the eyes of the church? Inappropriate in the eyes of the civil magistrate? Was there a civil law broken in this matter? Or was this a thing that was inappropriate in the eyes of God?

Would Jesus Vote for Kamala Harris?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 14:08:00 -0400

Ray Ortlund and the leftist side of evangelicalism is sometimes Kamala Harris, but never Trump. Everybody picks their ethical systems and a basis by which to judge one thing as better than the others. That’s why evangelicals are going for Kamala Harris . . . wrong ethical system.

Make Disciples

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 09:00:00 -0400

THE FORGE, the newest Christian movie from the Kendrick Brothers, is a powerful illustration and reminder that discipleship matters!

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Alex Kendrick, the co-writer and director of the film, which has already made $27 million domestically since August 23rd. At its height, THE FORGE was shown in 1,900 theaters. Still in 700 theaters today, go to the website www.TheForgeMovie.com to find out where it is playing near you.

In the film, Isaiah Wright, played by Aspen Kennedy, has some growing up to do. A year out of high school with no plans for his future, Isaiah is challenged by his single mom and a successful businessman to start charting a better course for his life. Through the Biblical discipleship from his new mentor, prayers of his mother and a prayer warrior named Miss Clara, Isaiah begins to discover God’s purpose for his life.

Most Bible-believing Christians know the Great Commission by memory. It records the last words of Jesus during His earthly ministry found in Mathew 28:18-20.

Jesus said, “All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Notice it doesn’t say, “Go and make converts.” While the movie inspires Christians to make disciples, their companion book, Devoted To Jesus, equips believers to disciple others by working through the 52 short chapters in 52 weeks with anyone who needs to grow in faith.

Like the special ceremony for young men in THE FORGE, McManus shares the story of the special Manhood Celebration ceremony he organized for his son Honor’s 13th birthday. Much like the Jewish families launch their sons into adulthood through a bar mitzvah, McManus believes Evangelical parents should be more intentional.

Rob Dempsey, Morning Show Host of His Radio, said, “THE FORGE masterfully weaves together themes of forgiveness, mentorship, and the hope of the Gospel, creating an entertaining and impactful film that leaves a lasting impression.”

Kamala’s Swiss-Cheese border

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 09:00:00 -0400

When Kamala Harris was asked on the Oprah Winfrey infomercial whether she would secure the border if elected as president, she said two things.

As California Attorney General, she prosecuted transnational groups for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings.
As Vice President, she advocated for the passage of the Biden Border Bill which would have placed 1,500 additional Border Patrol agents on the ground.

She sounds like a Republican, as she moves center to appeal to law-and-order Americans.

But, as Jeremy Beck, Vice President of Initiatives for NumbersUSA.com, points out in his appearance with guest host Adam McManus, Kamala, the designated Border Czar, certainly hasn’t lifted a finger for the last four years to stem the tide of transnational groups who have been trafficking copious amounts of guns, drugs, and human beings across our southern border.

Secondly, the reason why common sense prevailed in regards to the defeat of Biden’s sham of a border bill, is that it would have, for the first time, actually mandated a minimum number of 500,000 illegal aliens to be given admittance into America. Plus, the 1,500 additional Border Patrol agents would not have been tasked with preventing illegals from crossing our southern border, but with facilitating their illegal entrance across the border.

3 Abortion Lies

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:00:00 -0400

In the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, there were three lies told about abortion.

Guest host Adam McManus addresses all three with Sue Liebel, the State Affairs Director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

Plus, you’ll hear the audio clips of all three.

LIE #1: Abortions don’t happen in the ninth month of pregnancy.

Kamala Harris falsely claimed, “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. That is not happening; it’s insulting to the women of America.”

Truth: Abortion is legal for any reason up to birth in ten states and DC.

Abortion is legal through nine months of pregnancy for any reason in ten states plus D.C. Those states are Alaska, California, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, and Vermont.

LIE #2: There is no state in which “abortion after birth” is legal.

At one point, debate moderator Linsey Davis inappropriately jumped in to debate Trump, telling him, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.” She is incorrect!

Truth: “After-birth abortion” or infanticide does occur, and 15 states allow it.

These 15 states allow infanticide: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, and Vermont.

That’s why Marjorie Dannenfelser, the President of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, sent a letter to ABC demanding a correction.

In 2019, then-Senator Kamala Harris voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires abortionists to provide potentially lifesaving care to babies born during botched abortions.

In addition, just because it is illegal in many states to kill a newborn baby does not mean it is not happening and that abortion advocates don’t support it. Pennsylvania abortionist Kermit Gosnell is in prison currently for actively killing babies who survived his abortion procedures.

LIE #3: Pro-life laws make it “criminal” for a doctor to provide health care for women who have miscarriages.

During the debate, Kamala Harris falsely claimed, “Over 20 Trump abortion bans make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide health care. In one state, it provides prison for life. I have talked with women around our country. You want to talk about, ‘This is what people wanted?’ Pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she’s bleeding out in a car in the parking lot. She didn’t want that. Her husband didn’t want that.”

Truth: No pro-life law prohibits legitimate health care.

Two Assassination Attempts

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 09:00:00 -0400

On Sunday, September 15th, former President Donald Trump was targeted in a second assassination attempt on the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. It happened just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Guest host Adam McManus talks with Michael Letts, a former law enforcement officer who worked with the Reagan Secret Service team, and founder of InVestUSA.org, which provides bullet-proof vests to police.

They talk about Ryan Routh, age 58, who hid out on the Trump Golf Club for 12 hours waiting to assassinate the former president. How did he know that Trump would be there since it was not published on his public schedule? How did he avoid discovery until the very last moment?

And they also address the many security problems which enabled Matthew Crooks, age 20, to come within an inch of successfully assassinating Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th.

Is there a mole inside the Secret Service?

Exploding pagers in Lebanon

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Thousands of pagers detonated across Lebanon last Tuesday, injuring nearly 3,000 and killing 12 people. The attack targeted fighters with the terrorist group Hezbollah but also killed civilians.

Then, in a second wave of attacks, hand-held radios detonated across Lebanon on September 18th, killing 14 people and injuring over 450.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Pastor Mark Biltz, a Messianic Jew, the author of God's Day Timer: The Key to Unlocking God's Time Clock, and founder of El Shaddai Ministries in Washington State.

Biltz says Israel’s Mossad, the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, is the most likely and suspected source of the explosions, though they are not talking. The larger issue is that many see the source as obviously being Israel. Once that perception takes hold, it then becomes Hezbollah’s move and, by extension, Iran’s move.

In this shocking and unprecedented event, the fabric of modern warfare has been torn wide open. Thousands of Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon found themselves on the wrong side of a deadly technological twist, as pagers—devices largely considered relics of the past—erupted in a series of devastating explosions. Within just a few hours, these seemingly innocuous gadgets turned into instruments of retribution.

Seeds in the Cracks

Relationship. Discipleship. Families being together, being nurtured, even in the midst of some of the most difficult times in recent history. This is what we see in families across the world who are discipling their children in the midst of war and government opposition.

We discuss the challenges facing the international homeschooling community and inspiring stories of faith from nations around the world on this edition of the program.

The media has always had a tremendous impact on the formation of public opinion . . . but it at least tried to be unbiased in its reporting in times past.

Or is it the one who yells “Heretic!” the loudest who wins in the end? We review some of the basics requirements for good journalism, how to navigate the maze of a thousand opinions, and the need bring God’s standards to bear in the area of the press and current events on this edition of the program.

Egypt was at the zenith of its power, having conquered lands far into the north and the east, well into the Mesopotamian valley. The great empire set its magicians and its power against the people of God and paid the price. The most outstanding miracle of the Old Testament era took place at the Red Sea, and the prostitute at Jericho was still talking about it 40 years later, as well as the witchdoctors of Philistia 400 years later. And we’re still talking about it today. Who was the Pharaoh of the Red Sea, and how was the empire utterly decimated . . . not be resurrected until (ironically) King Saul helped to deliver the Egyptians from the Amalekites 400 years later. This story will astound you. The Bible is real history.

Economy Moving Skill-Centric

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Turns out that finding a job in today's market has been harder for those who have attained a bachelor's degree. Since 1980, the price of a college education has risen at 1300 percent, while the CPI has risen about 150 percent. College debt has gone from $300 billion to $1.75 trillion since 2004 in 20 years. That’s a six-fold increase, with 85 percent of kids getting bachelors’ degrees graduating with debt. The economy is moving from degree-centric to skill-centric, and mentorship is the fastest way to skill development.

Sports as a Metaphor for War

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 02:00:00 -0400

Christians have been quite congratulatory of most feminist achievements, particularly with the Title IX egalitarian vision for college sports. But, much of sports has served as something of a metaphor for warfare and often preparatory to warfare. Women in violent sports and women in combat have worked their way into the norm . . . in fact, now American women are more successful in sports than men. But how will Christian parents raise their daughters?

The Age-Segregated Programmic Church

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 09:00:00 -0400

The family and the church have worked their way into obsolescence in the modern world—displaced by large institutions, age-segregated programs, and individuated and socialist systems. The church is not a YMCA. The church is not a pep talk. The church is not a group of families hanging out in some sort of a warm fellowship that we enjoy until people get in a conflict, and then it’s over. The church is not a concert. The church is not a seminary lecture. The church is not a series of after-school programs and activities for which you can sign up your kids. The church is not an evangelistic crusade. So what is it? And what did the Bible say about children’s ministries?

There are so many more important aspects of child raising, and Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow address some of these topics on this edition of Generations.

Neocolonialism and Africa

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 02:00:00 -0400

Western money, western ideas, and western decadence are set to destroy Africa—especially the most prosperous nations. The Deuteronomy 8:14 principle applies just as much to Africa and East Asia as to the West. The richest nations in the world are the ones plunging headlong into decadence. Some nations like Ghana are doing what they can to stave off the onslaught.

The Mystery of a Lost Civilization

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Honest archeologists and historians are baffled by the most ancient remnants of human civilization revealing extremely well-developed technologies. Where did this technology come from? Biblical historians have the answer. There had to be an advanced civilization prior to some great cataclysm in the recesses of ancient history. There had to be somebody from this advanced civilization that conveyed that technology to the new world following the cataclysm. This is the only reasonable conclusion, and we have an explanation for it—from Scripture.

Prosperity Gospel Dominates Now

The "Prosperity Gospel" is gaining steam, especially over the last five years. The majority of churchgoers ascribe to the Prosperity Gospel now, and only 5 percent categorically oppose it. We take the three propositions advocated by the Prosperity Gospelites and examine them through the lens of Scripture here. Is there any truth to these propositions? God wants you to be wealthy. Give more, and God will reward you with more riches. To receive material blessings, you must do something for God. Do you believe these things?

Deadpool Leads the Culture

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Enough that multiple levels of pseudo-realities are distancing the post-modern from all objective reality in the big blockbuster films. He laughs at his own torture scenes. He laughs at the pedophilia. He laughs at himself laughing. But let's not talk about the blasphemy, the nihilism, the anarchism, the revenge killings, the perverse sexuality, and everything else making the most successful R-rated movie of all time. The latest Deadpool release is breaking records in the box office, and it's leading the culture. Now where there is no God . . . and the demi-gods are fighting it out with each other . . . who cares if the multiverse is destroyed? But apparently somebody cares enough to watch these superhero movies. We encourage higher levels of discernment for Christian movie reviews.

Transgendering 60 Million Children

With a stroke of a pen, President Biden has issued a policy requiring transgenderism for every school in America (or at least 69 percent of them). The Supreme Court has already determined that Title VII applies to homosexualizing and transgendering private businesses with the Bostock decision of 2020. Now the only question left . . . will Title IX apply to public schools and public services? There is one thing standing in the way of this demonic agenda — parents, who do things God’s way.

Military Chaplains Needed

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Right now, there is a 50% vacancy in the chaplain positions in the Oregon Air National Guard. Sadly, it’s indicative of the absence of chaplains nationwide.

According to Brigadier General David Unruh, a regular listener to Generations Radio and the commander of 2,400 Airmen in Oregon, he sees a great opportunity for ministry. He hopes Generations listeners who are pastors will prayerfully consider serving one weekend per month in the Oregon National Guard -- or the National Guard of their home state -- as a chaplain.

After listening to the July 4th podcast about The Black Robed Regiment of 18th century pastors who boldly challenged the men in their church to fight for American independence, he emailed me, Adam McManus, and shared that he has passed out dozens of copies of Pastor Jonas Clark’s sermon following the Battle of Lexington to Christian officers.

On May 2, 1778, General George Washington issued a unique order for the Continental Army at Valley Forge. It read, “The Commander-in-Chief directs that divine services be performed every Sunday at 11 o’clock on each brigade which has chaplains. While we are duly performing the duty of good soldiers, we are not to be inattentive to the highest duties of religion.”

Brigadier General Unruh said, “The role of ministers serving as military chaplains is older than our nation and is as foundational as any other dearly-held principle of liberty upon which our nation was founded. I personally believe all the other principles of liberty rest on Gospel freedom.” He added, “I am surprised that conservative and reformed Christians do not understand that the Dominion Mandate in Genesis and the Great Commission in Matthew necessarily imply risk and sacrifice.”

He cited great historical role models who were willing to take a stand in their day like chaplains should take a stand for Christ today.

* Athinasius – who boldly spoke out against the heresy of Arianism, the view that Jesus was not divine as taught by Arius. Athinasius declared, “If the world is against the truth, then I will be against the world.”

* John Knox, the Scottish reformer, who stood for Biblical truth, famously said, “The man who stands with God is always in the majority.” Brigadier General Unruh said, “Knox understood the nature of pastoral mathematics.”

* The Apostle Paul who boldly preached the Gospel to Agrippa (Acts 25:13-26:32) and to Caesar.

Jewish Man Trusts Christ

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Ironically, on the same day that New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg dropped charges against many of the antisemitic protestors who ransacked Columbia University, June 20, 2024, more than 600 Jewish and Christian participants gathered inside the Palladium Theater in New York City’s Times Square to rally against the global scourge of antisemitism. The event, organized by Chosen People Ministries, was entitled “Oppose Antisemitism: Stop the Hate.”

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Rich Flashman, a Jewish man who trusted Jesus as his Messiah and is now the leader of the Manhattan, New York branch of Chosen People Ministries which was founded 130 years ago to bring the Gospel to the Jews. In the first half of today’s Generations Radio podcast, you’ll hear his intriguing testimony of how God used Isaiah 53 and the bold evangelistic witness of a fellow college student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to bring Flashman to Christ.

According to the Anti Defamation League, in the three months following the October 7th massacre in Israel when Hamas attacked, there were 3,291 U.S. antisemitic incidents. That’s a whopping 361% increase between October 8, 2023 and January 7, 2024 compared to the same time period the year before.

Dr. Michael Brown, a Jewish believer in Jesus and the host of The Line of Fire radio program, spoke to the 4 Satanic reasons why Jews have been hated.

1. God chose the Jewish people for a special mission which Satan wants to thwart.

2. God has guaranteed the Jewish people’s ongoing existence, so Satan seeks their annihilation.

3. God promised the land of Israel to the Jewish people, so Satan wants to drive them out.

4. The Messiah is returning to a Jewish Jerusalem, so Satan wants it out of Jewish hands

Brown insisted, “The purposes of God will stand and Satan will be defeated in Yeshua’s name!”

Plus, you’ll hear the powerful song by Christian musician Aaron Shust entitled “Jerusalem” which is based on Psalm 122.

Albert Einstein declared, “If I were to remain silent, I’d be guilty of complicity.”

Here are 5 ways you can bless the Jews.

1. Pray for the Jewish people and encourage churches to pray at a main service.
2. Speak out against local acts of antisemitism.
3. Take action through public demonstrations, rallies, lectures, and social media in support of the Jewish community.
4. Demonstrate support for Jewish students on local college campuses.
5. Support Jewish friends and visit a local synagogue to let them know, “I am praying for your safety.” (make it personal)

If you are an undergraduate or graduate college student, or you have a child or grandchild who is, consider attending the free Courage Conference at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago between August 15-18. Plus, half of your transportation costs – whether by car or plane – will be reimbursed!

Girl Scouts “Gay” Pride Patch

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Did you know that the Girl Scouts is now giving the 1.7 million girls in its program the opportunity to earn a homosexual pride patch?

To qualify, the younger Girl Scouts are required to attend three God-forsaken homosexual pride events like the non-family friendly marches! And the older Girl Scouts are required to attend six homosexual pride events. Plus, their bizarre “patch” work involves creating a painting of a famous homosexual and compiling a music playlist of 12 homosexual singers.

And last summer, the Girl Scouts implemented its Camp Culture Code document which requires all Girl Scouts and its leaders to use the biologically incorrect pronouns of gender-confused girls who are pretending to be boys.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Patti Garibay, founder of American Heritage Girls, a Christ-centered scouting program for girls in which his 12-year-old daughter, Mercy, participates. Garibay discusses the 35-page e-book entitled “Raising Godly Girls Guide to Gender and Identity” which will empower parents a guide through the secular maze of gender and identity in a chaotic and confused culture.

A recent report revealed that the majority of adolescents who start to question their gender identity in America are girls. And nearly 30% of Gen Z women identify as homosexual, transgender, or confused.

Garibay, the host of the new Raising Godly Girls Podcast, said “American Heritage Girls provides a space that celebrates the Biblical femininity inside every girl who was purposefully designed by God. He has created men and women differently on purpose. For centuries, the beauty of God-given femininity has been under attack, its definition debated, its behavior contested. Secular humanism has attempted to destroy the beautiful model of femininity and transform it into an equal model to masculinity.

“Today, it has gone one step further to claim an embrace of non-binary sexual identity. With all this confusion in our society, it is no wonder that this debate has filtered down to our youngest members: our children. This is no coincidence. Satan is in for the long haul. As Christians, we must engage in this debate. Scripture is clear.”

That’s why, in partnership with True Girl, American Heritage Girls is offering three Biblically-focused patches that affirm a girl’s God-given identity.

The Black-Robed Regiment

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 09:00:00 -0400

On this Independence Day, discover how the pastors of the American colonies, derisively called the Black-Robed Regiment by the British, boldly taught their congregations the Biblical principles to resist tyranny.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dan Fisher, author of Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment: How the 18th century church stood for liberty and why it must do so again.

Dan is the co-pastor of Fairview Baptist in Edmond, Oklahoma, a former member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2012-2015, and ran for Governor in 2018. His vision is that the American church will regain the “spirit” of the original “Black-Robed Regiment,” and once again actively engage in defense of truth and liberty. In an impressive 60-minute, multi-media presentation in full period costume, Dan travels the country to portray these heroic men of American history complete with verified artifacts from our War of Independence. (Check out his schedule).

Adam and Pastor Fisher discuss:

* Pastor Peter Muhlenberg of Woodstock, Virginia who took off his black robe in the pulpit, revealing a colonel’s uniform, and challenged the men to fight.

* Pastor Jonas Clarke of Lexington, Massachusetts who trained his men to prepare for the April 19, 1775 showdown with the British which led to the shot heard ‘round the world on Lexington Green.

* Pastor James Caldwell of Elizabethtown, New Jersey who brought hymnals to the Minutemen to use for wadding to fight the British.

* Pastor Naphtali Daggett, president of Yale, who rallied 100 students to fight the Redcoats, which led to his capture and brutal treatment.

* Pastor John Treadwell of Lynn, Massachusetts, who kept a loaded Flintlock in his pulpit, and who narrowly escaped death at the Battle of Bennington in Vermont.

* The disturbing similarity between the church in pre-World War II Germany and the American church today. Both have, by and large, remained silent in the face of evil.

Grooming in the Church

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 10:24:00 -0400

In light of Pastor Robert Morris’ sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl over several years in his 20s, which led to his recent resignation from Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, guest host Adam McManus interviewed Elizabeth Good, a sexual trauma expert and author of Groomed: Overcoming the Messages That Shaped Our Past and Limit Our Future.

As someone who experienced sexual abuse as a pre-teen and went on to counsel thousands of sexual trauma survivors, Elizabeth founded TheFoundationUnited.org and brings a unique lens to the Robert Morris situation.

She explains that an abused person is more likely to act out the abuse they experienced on someone else, enter an abusive relationship or pass it on to their children, who will probably repeat the cycle, if not escalate it. It’s generational if it remains unspoken and unhealed.

Currently, 1 out of 2 children are experiencing adverse childhood experiences. With no off ramps or mechanism to process that trauma, it gets buried – but it never stays buried. While sexual trauma statistically begins at 3-4 years of age, research shows that victims don’t speak about it until in their 50s – and by then another generation has been affected.

She says, “Those who don’t have an offramp for processing that sexual trauma – especially children – will continue the cycle. Even early exposure to porn – which is almost unavoidable with today’s technology – can lead children down either one of two paths – victim or abuser.”

Her latest book, Speak the Unspeakable: Real Talk on Secrets, Sex and Being Set Free, helps people stop concealing their trauma.

Her work creating Real Talk for kindergarten students through senior leadership is helping people combat the dangers of hidden trauma and “unspeakable” secrets, transforming families, corporations, and the Church worldwide.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 14 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0400

The Southern Baptist Convention has historically been one of the largest conservative Christian organizations within the country. We’re currently seeing another battle occur within the convention over feminism and women pastors. The battle isn’t over yet. Feminism and egalitarianism are gigantic forces in America, and they’re affecting the churches. Kevin and Bill Jack discuss the issues of feminism and women pastors in American churches on this edition of the program.

Star Wars Goes “Gay”

The Star Wars franchise goes “gay” with “The Acolyte.” And we trace the roots of the cultural homosexual agenda to Star Wars, super heroes, and fantasy. Why do men create an alternate reality, but to open the door to every form of perversion? Where God doesn’t exist, anything is possible.

Women Leftist Leadership in the World

Women are leading—ten times more so than they did in the 1970s and 1980s. And women political leaders are two times to three times more liberal than men. This is the end of men and freedom in the world. Boys are disadvantaged by 40 percent born without fathers, and 60 percent of custody cases are rolling to mom. That makes for 66 percent of boys not having dads for large portions of their lives. Where do we go from here? The solutions are a return to the Gospel, to fatherhood, and mass mentorship for young men.

Hear the real story behind Exodus International's dissolution in May of 2013. Conversion and restoration for repentant homosexuals is real. It is happening everywhere around the country. Kevin Swanson interviews David Foster, himself a repentant homosexual, on his new film project entitled "Such Were Some of You." These are the stories that the media does not want you to hear. What is it like for a homosexual to repent and recover from a state of sexual brokenness?

Pilgrims and Strangers or World Changers?

Are we supposed to be pilgrims and strangers, or are we called to be world changers? Would pilgrims and strangers ever address themselves to the job of discipling the nations? Are pastors concerned with keeping politics out of the church, or equipping the man and woman of God to every good work? Christ's admonitions concerning salt and light are not merely descriptives, but prescriptives.

The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics will feature three drag queens hoisting the Olympic torch . . . in accord with the Olympic theme this year—"Games Wide Open." We cover the history of feminism and transgenderism in the Olympics, but find that these doctrines were linked all the way back into the 1830s—with the first generation of philosopher-feminists.

Christians are getting 2-5 years in prison now for participation in non-violent protests against abortion. We go over the history of Christian persecution in the United States of America beginning with Samuel Worcester and then Phillip Zodhiates, after which comes the current stream of persecutions. The government punishes Christians for trying to save the lives of their neighbor's babies. But what about the government mandating abortifacients for Christians in the near future?

The Title IX Trojan Horse

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 24 May 2024 09:00:00 -0400

The Biden administration has taken a tremendous step towards transgenderizing 13,000 school districts and 50,000,000 kids in this country. Governments secure centralized control of an institution, and then they pervert it, in that order. That's the way it works every time. Christians should take the principled stand, especially on Title IX. Governments have no business controlling education and the marketplace with Title IX-type regulations. We point out how feminism opened the way to transgenderism in the US via Title IX (and a whole lot of other policies).

State of Christianity in the West and the World

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 20 May 2024 09:00:00 -0400

The fastest-growing church in the UK is the Chinese church. But the most phenomenal development of the last century was the tradeoff from West to East. The West lost ground and the East gained all of that ground back for itself. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to exactly 21.9% of the world population. Amazingly, the two world people groups had exchanged positions over the last 123 years.

Will the pro-abortion, independent candidate for president, Robert Kennedy, split the conservative vote or the liberal vote? The question comes down to a commitment to either . . . the pro-life position or the anti-government populist position among American conservatives. How pro-life are the pro-lifers in the US? Recent data from Gallup finds that pro-abortionists are more committed to their position than the pro-lifers, especially when it comes to elections.

Gloria Steinem and Gloria Friedan have done their work. As the smoke clears and the dust settles, one cannot help but see the damage done on all of human society. But how does the Christian respond? Is it possible to overreact? How do we address the questions of women working outside of the home, or teaching women in the church? Kevin Swanson lays out a pattern for addressing these critical matters. #1. Define the antithesis and the damage done by the enemy. #2. State the biblical principle and call for implementation. #3. Urge every family and church to love God with all their minds to make the right applications.

The Man / Woman Employment Conundrum

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Employers are facing the toughest labor market in our lifetime. Men have lost reason and faith, character and stability. Men aren’t getting married, and they aren’t growing up. But each successive generation gets worse because they lack both fathers and mothers. The mothers of the next generation of children have rushed into the marketplace to fill in for the economy, and children are left home alone. Only 47% of grown men are married and stabilized in life, down from 73% in 1960. Meanwhile, the ratio of men to women in the workplace has increased from 91% to 34% (a 57% difference) to 89% to 78% (an 11% difference). But how is that going to help? Absent parents are the common denominator of many recent epidemics, including obesity, STDs, attention deficit disorder, and the use of psychiatric medications on even very young children. This thing is spiraling in the wrong direction. The solution will be found in the restoration of mothering, manhood, fathering, mentorship, and relationship.

When the Purity Movement Fails

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 10:39:00 -0400

Purity rings, purity vows, purity ceremonies, and dances were popular for a few decades among Christian groups. But, problems developed when the little boys didn't grow up and girls couldn't get married. Immaturity dominated, online porn took the boys down; and combining vows of celibacy with a delay of marriage (and a reputation of young marriages) was a killer for evangelicals. Why aren't our young men getting married? Why aren't our girls getting married? The just will live by faith, and they will marry by faith. The breakdown of faith involves the breakdown of family. We give some practical advice for young people on getting married in this short segment.

Campus Crusade in Crisis

Campus Crusade for Christ is going backwards. Staff requirements advising using “preferred pronouns” and referring to homosexuality as “a disordering of sexual desires” is not helping anybody. The lukewarm position has always been untenable. We explain here why Christians cannot live by lies, but the shame of it—is a depreciation of the power of the Gospel and a lapse of faith. Isn’t it time for another crusade? And, when was the last time we sang “Onward Christian Soldiers?”

Proof of George Washington's Christian Faith

Dinosaurs and the Bible

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Does the Bible reference dinosaurs? What are the “behemoth” and “leviathan” creatures referenced in Job 40 and 41? Were there dinosaurs on the ark? If so, how many pairs were there?

What about the legends about knights fighting fire-breathing dragons? Are those stories really about dinosaurs? What about the stories of the American Indians who documented instances of the “Thunderbirds” that swooped down out of the sky and snatched their young children to eat? And when did the dinosaurs go extinct?

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Daniel Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics, about a powerful, visually rich new film called “The Ark and the Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood.” Using a panel of 11 experts, including those from Answers in Genesis and Liberty University, the movie was shot at the Ark Encounter.

It’s only in the theaters on Monday, April 1st. Watch the trailer and get tickets here.

The Fetal Homicide Hypocrisy

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

A guy who kills an unborn baby does not have the right to choose, but the mother who kills her unborn baby does have a right to choose. Here's the question: Does the mother love the child more than the thug, or less than the thug? But whence comes the right to choose? The worldview of feminism, humanist autonomy, and existentialism is the source of it all.

Birth Rate for Evangelicals 1.8

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

The most critical Supreme Court case since Roe v. Wade is now being argued, and it’s not looking good with the conservatives on the bench. The pro-life cause is losing. Meanwhile, the conservative Protestant church’s birth rate is almost exactly that of the national average. Why waste our time with politics when the church is DOA on the use of abortifacients? When will the pastors take a stand on abortifacients, the IUD, IVF, and the Kill Pill? The reversal of Roe v. Wade didn’t do any good as long as the kill-pill-by-mail program and fully-funded, government-funded abortifacients are the name of the game.

Does America Need a Dictator?

Could democracy fix the problem with America, or maybe some sort of "right wing" dictator showing up for a day or a decade or two? The best way to address the economic disaster would be for 95% of Americans (both democrats and republicans) to get out of household debt and stop living beyond their means. But, now we're talking the hearts of the people again. . . . Yet, there are a few things governments could do to stave off total disaster. But alas, nobody wants to vote for that!

A Superficial Religion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Recent surveys have come out concerning the religious affiliations of Biden and Trump, and a larger amount of Americans believe Biden to be more religious than Trump. However, this survey only measures a superficial religiosity. So many US presidents have been excellent at using religious language and showing a superficial interest in religion. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the wicked and righteous leaders of American history.

Roe Reversed, Hearts Not Reversed

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Roe was reversed in 2022, but not so the hearts of the people. Abortions in 2023 were way up, and so is the LGBT prevalence in the country. Telehealth abortions took close to 210,000 abortions into states where abortion was banned. It's hard to get these demons back into Pandora's box. Governments can't solve these problems now. Is brimstone and fire the only solution, or is there hope in the Gospel? But what if the hearts of the people changed? What if the hearts of the fathers turned to the children, and the children to the fathers?

The Ark and the Darkness Movie

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Would you like scientific evidence for the worldwide flood which is described in Genesis 6-9? Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Daniel Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics, about a powerful new film in the movie theaters, on Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st only, called “The Ark and the Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood.”

Using a panel of 11 experts, including those from Answers in Genesis, “The Ark and the Darkness” movie provides proof that:

* Coal deposits reveal that the earth was once incredibly more lush.

* There were 1,400 kinds of air-breathing land animals aboard the ark.

* The flood was worldwide, not regional.

* The sediment record is one of the most compelling evidences for the historicity of Noah’s flood.

* There were recognizable animals like boa constrictors, boxed turtles, and ducks found buried next to dinosaurs from the flood, but evolutionists have never featured them in any dinosaur museum exhibit because it doesn't fit their secular narrative.

* There have been dinosaur remains found with soft tissue that still has the stink of death. If it’s 60-100 million years old, that’s not possible. They have found muscle fiber, collagen, bone marrow, and red blood cells which can last up to 100,000 years. If the worldwide flood occurred 4,400 years ago, then that’s very feasible. Mark Armitage found soft tissue in a triceratops horn, published his discovery, and was promptly fired.

Watch the trailer and learn more at www.NoahsFlood.com, and go to the Fandango website to get tickets to see “The Ark and the Darkness” movie either on Wednesday, March 20th or Thursday, March 21st.

Why Viewing Nudity Is Wrong

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

The avant-garde in Hollywood is determined to corrupt the nation, but are they succeeding? The Academy went over 40 years before offering its Best Picture Award to an R-rated film. Recently, ten out of the last twelve Best Picture Awards have gone to R-rated movies. And, all five of the major academy awards this year were R-rated flicks. Kevin Swanson outlines biblical reasons why Christians must not fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness in the theater. Here are the deal killers—bad underlying worldviews, cursing, swearing, the f-word, and nudity. We provide biblical reasons why viewing nudity in film and billboards is sinful. Besides the problem of lust, there is the issue of shaming persons made in the image of God.

The results are familiar to a lot of us . . . burn out, adrenal fatigue, overwhelming exhaustion, depression, panic attacks, emotional overload, anxiety, and extreme negativity.

Oregon - A Brave New Experiment

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 09:42:00 -0400

Oregon is the prime specimen for the George Soros case, and it's all pretty sad. After decriminalizing drugs, the legislature almost unanimously reversed course. Soros is only attempting to be more consistent to the worldview that rules the Western world today—and yes, the results are always destructive, extremely destructive, to human society. The more fundamental problems cannot be solved by governments, however. Anti-depressant use is ten-fold what it was in 1990. How does one solve the problem of hopelessness to a society this far-gone? Only one solution will work at this point.

Time to Reject Noah’s Worldwide Flood?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0500

An evangelical theologian informs us that: "All of us are responding to the progress of science and knowledge about planet Earth and having to adjust our interpretation of Scripture accordingly." When it comes a scientific hypothesis like fossil dating and the filtering of data through a heavily worldview-biased grid, shall the Christian have to surrender the biblical historical accounts? Will you interpret the Bible by wild scientific guesswork about how rock layers were laid down . . . or will you interpret rock layers by clear biblical revelation? Will you fall down on your face and worship the modern scientific mind, or will you submit yourself to the epistemological authority of the Word of God? What is happening with evangelicalism now?

Your Same-Sex Attracted Pastor

Confusion reigns among evangelicals these days on the subject of same-sex attraction and gay identity. What do you say to a pastor applying for a job at your church who says, “I have (present tense) sexual, romantic, and deep emotional attractions to people of the same sex (or some other category of person or thing).” Specificity, clarity, and minimal nuance is recommended in these discussions which tend to gravitate towards too much contradiction and obfuscations and the use of worldly terminologies. Would celibacy or a fundamental change of mind (repentance) be preferred for the one who burns?

Why does A.I. support pedophilia and place sins like this in the realm of ethical neutrality? About 97 percent of "scientists" believe humans evolved. Science has turned against God and leads the apostasy of the day. Thus, science is destroying itself. To trust A.I. programmers to get the worldview right is like trusting pedophiles to run the daycare center. Christians particularly are marginalized today in the courts and in the scientist community. But why? The root of this anti-Christian world comes with jettisoning God in the evolutionary construct.

Have we been heading the wrong direction with this age-segregation, programmed church, and children’s ministries? Are we really following through on the Titus 2 and 2 Timothy mandates for church discipleship and worship? Questions come up here concerning delegation, children’s church, child evangelism, youth culture, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the displacement of God’s law with the traditions of men. Here’s a key question—Do children of Christian parents belong in the Ekklesia (the church congregation), or do we put them in a “children’s church?” Do we shuffle children off into Sunday Schools, or are they to be discipled daily in the homes by their own parents? Or a little of both?

While evangelicals may not be quite as thrilled to vote for Trump this time, they are discovering new reasons to vote for him. Ben Franklin's admonition is starting to ring true for more evangelicals—either they will have to hang together, or hang separately. If the left has it their way, somebody's going to hang. Trump favorability is on the rise—higher than ever. Biden favorability is dropping fast. We comment on Trump's speech at the National Religious Broadcasters association.

Sodom was filled with an "abundance of idleness," pride marches, and prosperity . . . and they "strengthened the hands of evildoers." Both young teens and old were beating down Lot's doors to get at the angels. How will we ever return to a rule of law? Even the pagan states realized this was essential to retain a social order.

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont, and Washington, as well as Kansas City, Missouri, and other places are dangerous for families if parental rights and protection of children from transgender surgeries remains a value.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like on a Christian movie set? Today, guest host Adam McManus takes you behind the scenes in a fascinating interview with Kevin Bouren, co-founder of Set Shepherds. Kevin, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army, sees some intriguing similarities between all the moving parts of military battle and all the moving parts of a movie production. Acting as both co-producer and chaplain of the cast and crew, his goal is to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ to the believers and unbelievers alike.

You will hear:

* how a rough-and-tumble actor, who had been in Hollywood for decades, came to know Jesus Christ as Savior on the set of “Birthright Outlaw,” a Christian western.

* how a member of the crew was inspired to reach out to a homeless man, named William, who was sleeping under the bridge near their hotel.

* and how the son of a community leader working with Kevin on “The Forge,” the latest Kendrick Brothers’ full-length feature, was thirsty for Christian male discipleship.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Teen popular culture now has shifted into almost 100% Satanism, homosexuality, and suicide. While Christian parents want to protect their children from these ungodly influences, they can't protect their kids from their own hearts. What do you tell a parent whose teen kids are in rebellion after they've done "all the right things?"

A Culture War

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

We’re in the middle of a raging apostasy and an aggressive zeitgeist that is anti-Christan. Like it or not, we are in the midst of a culture war. We are more on defense than offense. Do we fight? Do act the nice guy? Do we walk away and just try to avoid the whole thing? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Christians life and the culture war that we find ourselves in the midst of.

Trial for the Tennessee Ten

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Why does the media miss covering the greatest injustice in America? The silence in deafening as Christians are heading for 11 - 33 years in prison for standing up for life by order of the Biden administration. The prophetic message is more for Christians than non-Christians.

Gospel-centering Your Family

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 02:12:00 -0500

Does the Gospel have any relevance to moms and two-year-olds? What possible relevance would the Gospel have upon relationships with your teens? Families veer into legalism on the one hand and antinomian licentiousness on the other hand. Integrating the Gospel into day-to-day family life is the key. This program will open your eyes to some powerful solutions to the problems facing your family today.

God’s Created Order Is the Order of the Universe

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Disagreeing with the law of gravity isn't a very good idea. But what happens when a society turns on God's created order? Certain Gamaliels of the day are calling out a "coming psychological black death." What is the root of the root for this pandemic? God's created order cannot be overturned completely without grave consequences.

Social Experiments with Children

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 02:00:00 -0500

Schools are providing litter boxes for children that identify as furries. Teens in Japan haven't seen other humans for eight years. Society is spiraling into insanity. Modern man continues to root out any fear of God from society. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan talk about the massive social experiments going on with children in our societies today.

Martin Luther King or John Jasper Day

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

The world's heroes are not our heroes. We compare Martin Luther King, Jr. to John Jasper. Who's John Jasper? That's the point of this program. God call us to impartiality, not to be a respecter of persons. This applies as much to segregation laws as it does to pastors who commit adultery.

Trump Is Our Candidate

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

They tell us Donald Trump will be our candidate of the 2024 election, like it or not. Donald Trump is considered the most religious candidate among the presidential candidates, and yet supported by the non-church attenders . . . and Trump supporters are less and less likely to be part of the visible body of Christ. America is leaving the church in droves, but they still want to be labeled “nominal Christians.”

The Transgender Scourge in the Schools

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Here is the story of an average American family forced into the transgendered nightmare in a junior high school in Smalltown, USA. In the process, they almost lost their daughter. The story is nauseatingly frequent, and all families would do well to beware of the tremendous risks. Kevin Swanson interviews Kevin Lundberg, producer of the film Art Club.

Tearing Down the Satan Display at the Capitol

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Which religion, which law, and which symbols will be represented by your governments today? Will polytheism reign over Iowa? Or will Satanism reign over Iowa? These are the questions the Iowa state government is grappling with. A former US Navy pilot doesn't want to be part of a nation that worships Satan, and so he destroyed the Satan display inside the Iowa Capitol. What's next?

Heroes of the Faith

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Missionary legends Jim and Elizabeth Elliott have come under more scrutiny and guarded criticism after their departure. But then again, what is a hero of the faith? Does the credit belong to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, or to the Monday morning quarterbacks? Or does God get the credit? Here is a good discussion on Hebrews 11 and the heroes of the faith.

Daniel Prayed Anyway

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

This may be a first in the history of political tyranny. Certain parts of Australia are now banning certain forms of Christian prayer and preaching. The official state religion among post-Christian nations is total sexual autonomy, and anybody who would challenge that is up for 5-10 years in prison. What would Daniel do? WWDD?

Americans Lose Faith in Politics

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Published lists of the most admired and most influential persons have shifted (since 1965) from American politicians to foreign politicians and pop stars and billionaires and guys who do drugs. Cynicism towards politics is at an all-time high. The messiahs have disappointed the electorate too many times. But what does this mean for the future of America and the world? Psalm 20 says it all.

Parenting Boys through the Sexual Minefield

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Every child is going to have to deal with some portion of the sexual minefield today. Garry Ingraham, author of “Am I Gay? Coming Out of Cultural Christianity and LGBTQ+ Identity into Authentic Faith in Jesus,” provides a raw narrative of growing up in the middle of the minefield, falling face down on the mines, and then finding Jesus at the end. Now, he’s a dad, and he has some good wisdom for this audience. Some time is taken on how to shepherd the more sensitive boy with less-masculine characteristics without pushing him away.

Controversial Questions

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 10:35:00 -0500

Once we agree that God gets to determine ethics, that doesn't mean we're all going to be in hunky dory agreement with each other on how to make the right application. Paul warns about getting too tied up in quarrelsome matters relating to the law. Surely the Pharisees were good at it. Yet, we do not ignore the law. We still wish to love God and keep His commandments. So, how does this work when it comes to the matters of law over which sincere Christians disagree? How does one determine the difference between the principle and the application? The certain and the uncertain? The camels and the gnats?

America - A Gigantic Pretense

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Kevin Swanson explains the everything bubble in simple terms. Since the year 2000, Americans borrowed $72 trillion from money created out of thin air—and they increased the pretended value of themselves by $65 trillion (in real estate and stocks). The DJIA increased five-fold in 14 years. Is American industry producing five times as much as it was in 2009? America has turned into a gigantic pretense—in economics, religion, and social integrity. But, as Christians we are pressed towards humility and genuineness on every level.

The Vinedresser Trims the Branches

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

A Nigerian rapper in London tweets, “The West is [toast] if it loses its Christian foundation,” and Elon Musk sort of agrees. The rapper from Africa and the richest man in the world may have a point. The proportion of Christians was trimmed back 50 percent in Europe and North America over 100 years, while the East and South doubled its Christian percentage of the world population. But will civilization survive after jettisoning the foundations put in place over the period of 1,000 years?

Kevin Swanson speaks with Michael Gembola, Director of Blue Ridge Counseling Center and author of the new book "After an Affair—Pursuing Restoration." What does true repentance and real restoration look like when the building has burned down and the construction has to begin anew?

The year 2023 marked the third wave of scandals that rushed over the American church—involving Hillsong and Kansas City. But this goes back into the 1980s, further down into the roots of movements that had suspect beginnings. What are the lessons to be learned from these modern sects and scandals? Why are the roots and the founders important? And what are these fruits by which we would know them?

The Whole Year in 30 Minutes

What happened this year? Every family needs to be aware of what is going on the world. Take 30 minutes and get the full summary. The bird's-eye view is helpful to understand where we are to go and what we are to do next. . . . It was a year of opportunity—the opportunity for a nation to repent and turn from its wicked ways. It was the year of big spending and unrestrained greed. It was the year of international tensions in the Middle East. It was the year China and Russia got cozy . . . power shifted east, and antagonism increased exponentially. It was the year of increased Christian persecution. . . . It was the year America lost the abortion battle. It was the year of Taylor Swift, and it was the year that Jimmy Buffett died.

Not Respecting the Justice of God

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 09:55:00 -0500

The governor of Louisiana recently pardoned and released 40 convicted murderers onto the streets, foregoing the one most basic responsibility of the civil magistrate, which is to execute murderers. There has been an increase in state governors pardoning criminals and rebelling against God's design for government. A pro-death culture will always result in pro-death politics, whether it be support for abortion or the release of murderers back into the population. Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss this important topic on this edition of Generations.

The Wonders of God’s Creation

If the BBC and the Discovery Channel believed in God, how would this change their view of the world and their productions on the wonders of nature? What is the explanation for the ugliness, the cuteness, the wisdom, the intricacies, the variety, the power, and the beauty of the animal world? Why are there poisonous snakes, predators, and parasites in the world around us? Here is a discussion on how we might restore a sense of wonder, purpose, and an eschatological hope into our study of nature all around us.

Wayne Grudem: Trump Should Pull Out

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 09:39:00 -0500

Well-known evangelical theologian Wayne Grudem wants Donald Trump to pull out of the presidential race for the 2024 Republican nomination. We take a look at the leading candidates for the nomination on economics, life issues, and war state. But the important question to consider as we approach the election is whether the candidates fear God. And, why does God destroy nations? We quickly review the reasons God destroyed Babylon, Assyria, Edom, and other non-covenant nations in the OT—something to consider as we approach the 2024 elections.

21st Century of Jesus’ Reign

These are difficult times, but then these are also some of the most phenomenal times for the kingdom of Jesus that we have seen in 2,000 years. The kingdoms of this world are passing away, but then the mission work of the Christian church has expanded around the world—more in the last century than the previous 19 combined. Here are reasons to be thankful and encouraged by what Jesus has done by the powerful work of His Spirit over these 2,000 years!

The Vatican has officially approved of blessings for couples who identify themselves as living in sexual perversion, one with another. What used to be conservative and traditional has now turned bad and rancid. Conservatism and traditionalism is not enough. Without a ground on the truths of God's Word, all ships are lost in this storm.

SCOTUS Saves Sacred Cows

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 09:28:00 -0500

Freedom of speech doesn't make it past the US Supreme Court this time for Christian therapists. And, the kill-pill-by-mail program may not either. The US Supreme Court is favoring the leftist agenda on gay mirage and birth control. We haven't pulled out the party hats yet on the Dodds decision. Abortion rates are up nationwide this year, while there are a few states that are regulating abortion and might provide a ten-percent relief on the birth rates in these states. As long as the US Supreme Court protects the use of the IUD, the kill pill, and the day-after pill, there won't be much progress made in the killing children department in the US.

How Should You Parent Your Children?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Contrary to the hopes of 21^st-century apostate Christianity, the Scripture doesn't shift its position on homosexuality from OT to NT in any fundamental way. Neither has 2,000 years of Christianity got it wrong . . . until Matt Vines showed up. We trace the meaning of the two key Greek words in 1 Corinthians 6:9, and tie 1 Timothy 1:10 into the Mosaic Law. No wiggle room here for the progressives.

More Media Attacks on Homeschooling

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 15:24:00 -0500

The Washington Post continues its series of attacks on homeschooling—this time going after research studies on the effectiveness of home education in the US. Yet, favorability towards homeschooling among the American public is at an all-time high, and favorability towards public schools among the American public is at an all-time low. We point out that sociological studies on education and every other part of social life are fairly useless. How does one identify the best way to educate a child? Go to God, the Source of all wisdom. Rely on God's Word as the highest form of wisdom in these matters.

Homosexuals Chewing Away on Ministries

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Homosexuals, transgenders, and even Christians have been chewing away on business owners, curtailing their freedoms to hire and fire whomever they will. Now ministries like World Vision have lost three court decisions in the attempt to hire and fire whom they will. When will Christians as well as homosexuals respect the property rights of business owners to make their own decisions about whom they will hire and fire? When will pastors take up the principled position and preach against affirmative action, government enforced hiring quotas, and minimum wage laws?

Lapsed Christian Nations Revert to Paganism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Increasing numbers of Americans are approving of polygamy, and this introduces a discussion on how Christian nations ridded themselves of both polygamy and slavery. This took about 1,000 years. But now, a post-Christian pagan society is going back to things like homosexuality, polygamy, and slavery. We provide a biblical argument against polygamy and point out that Mohammed and Joseph Smith were wrong on polygamy (and slavery).

What is it to be a true believer? How would you know that you were a true believer?

Failing Christian Education?

After 18 years of Sunday school, youth group, and even Christian school, many Christian children still graduate from high school thoroughly indoctrinated in a humanist worldview, later becoming big humanists in college. And then they just walk away from the faith. In this interview that Kevin Swanson conducted with World Magazine founder Joel Belz, we look at several different problems with Christian education 50 years into this new movement. Joel is one of the most experienced voices on this issue of Christian education in the country. What makes Christian education so ineffective, and what can we do to bolster it?

Evangelism vs. God’s Law in the Civil Sphere

The West is under God's judgment because they have increasingly broken more of God's laws in the most egregious possible ways. But what about colonialism? Were there sins committed by the colonial governments as well? The metric by which to determine right and wrong still must be the law of God. Nonetheless, the failure to disciple our own nation in the commandments of God has yielded a capitulation to governance by bad worldviews, and a gradual loss of liberty, prosperity, and justice and righteousness, biblically defined.

Have you heard these stories . . . Columcille on Iona, Cyril and Methodius and the Cyrillic Bible, the Moravian Pentecost, the first Bible translated into an Asian language, the planting of Canada as an escape for the Huguenots, the saving of Protestantism in Europe by a Swedish King, the 95 Theses at on the Wittenberg church door, the Magna Carta, and Kings Mountain in South Carolina. Here's an exciting summary of the greatest works of God over the last 1,500 years of world history.

Big government has been let loose upon America . . . but now, Bidenomics has introduced flagrantly irresponsible government void of all restraint. Federal deficits are completely out of control now.

Most Severe Persecutions in the World

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 09:06:00 -0500

The most intense persecution in the world, the most dangerous place in the world for Christians, is Nigeria. We catch up with Judd Saul on the progress of the Village Security programs, support for widows, building refugee homes, and ministering to the least of these Jesus' brothers and sisters. If Jesus were here today, He would be ministering over there. Are you ready to help?

Why the Devil Wants Your Children

The Cuban government has claimed ownership of all the children and made it a crime for Christian families to tell their kids about Jesus. What's with that? Why do governments, the schools, the media, and demonic forces target our children? What should parents do if the government attempts to take their children away, force them into government schools, or kill them in the River Nile? What would you do?

Racism, Wokism, and Hatred on the Rise

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Mass shootings have increased pretty substantially since the 1930s. As well, persecution of Christians has increased at least ten-fold around the world. Are the systemic encouragements to hatred and murder to blame, or does the individual take responsibility for hatred and acts of malicious violence? We take a quick look at Audrey Hale, who participated in the Nashville school murders, and her professed hatred for "white privilege." There are plenty of reasons and motives for hate and murder, but mostly it is the human heart that sources it all. Also, we provide five reasons for antisemitism, still alive and kicking on planet Earth.

Using a biblical metric, we take a look at the most financially prudent nations and the most financially imprudent nations in the world. Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, the US, and the UK are right at the top as those nations that are most in debt to foreign nations. The most prudent nations are Iran, India, Pakistan, Russia, and China. The West is cruising for a bruising as defined by Deuteronomy 28—in a cursed state.

Ohio Sets the Direction for the Nation

After Kentucky, Kansas, and Montana, now the Ohio electorate has voted to kill babies at will. We compare the US Supreme Court decision in 1973 to the heart of the nation in 2023 (fifty years later). That leaves only 6-7% of America that is pro-life, and who would elect a pro-life Congress. America is pro-abortion. What will the churches do now? Will the pastors repent, and will repentance begin in the household of God? The future of the nation is in the balance now.

It's the American story of abuse, hypocrisy, and brokenness. And it's a story of healing, restoration, repentance, and reconciliation. Author and speaker Lee Ann Garfias shares her story as a homeschool graduate, and a homeschool mother herself. We make two mistakes. We believe that the ideal life is achievable, and then we consider ourselves a total failure when we fail to achieve it.

All You Need Is Love, Love, Love

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 09:28:00 -0500

The Christian church has always respected the commandments of God, but the modern age has increasingly abandoned the commandments. Were the Beatles right? All you need is love? Or what about the guy who started by loving his neighbor and ended by loving his neighbor’s wife? Antinomian Christianity is deceptive. It allows for a slipshod way to define right and wrong . . . and a lot of left-wing Christians try to claim more gray area when it comes to issues like homosexuality and incest. They claim the ethic of love . . . and then approve of “gay love.” But what is the proper handling of the law, given Romans 6-8? Here is an in-depth analysis on the law of God.

The Bad Everything EV Car

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Data is finally emerging on EV cars. At $17.33 per equivalent gallon of gasoline to power these monsters, this thing has turned into an economic nightmare. Even the environmentalists are concerned that manufacturing and operating the vehicles runs at 2X the carbon than its gasoline counterpart. When really bad science, really bad politics, and bad economics gang up on us, this is what we end up with. But more fundamentally, the fool has said in his heart "There is no God," and there is no fear of God before their eyes. This is the problem with modern science and government, especially in Europe and North America.

Prison for Pro-lifers

While a 74-year-old pro-life grandmother faces 11 years for trespassing on the grounds of an abortion-killing center, BLM protesters get $80 million in compensation for their closing down highways and the $8 billion of damage done to businesses and buildings during 2020. What gives? Does the Bible allow for trespassing if somebody's getting killed over there? Rest assured that very little justice comes by government—but God brings every work into judgment according to the standards of His law. As Christians, we have a responsibility to advocate justice by the standard of God's law and mercy by the cross of Christ. That's a both-and.

Homeschooling Secularized and De-relationalized

Homeschooling growth provides some good things—more free market in education and release from the "matrix" for those who were forced into the monolithic public school model. But, new surveys are discovering a massive secularization of home education—a fall-off from 67% to 33% of homeschooling families committing to a faith. Also, homeschooling is morphing into online and the absence of relationship and parental involvement. The vision is disappearing.

Caring for Loved Ones with Alzheimer’s and Dementia

At least 5 million Americans have Dementia, and about 50% of our fathers and mothers will have the disease by the time they reach 90 years of age. As Christians, we can rest assured that God has a reason for this disease as it afflicts our loved ones. What is it like to experience Dementia? Do personalities change? Are there certain things that cause dementia . . . or hasten the onset of it? Here is a Christian view of a common affliction as provided by Dr. John Dunlop, author of the book, Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia.

After reviewing the heroes in the city of man, we contrast the heroes of faith in the 20th century, of whom the world is not worthy. Kevin Swanson lists those who maintained a strong faith despite the massive apostasy that blew across England, America, and the West. They stood for the centrality of God against the centrality of man while humanism was on the rise. They are theologians, pastors, cultural leaders, creation science apologists, evangelists, and persecuted saints of the 20th century (and the 21st century).

Angst Increasing Among Partisans

Almost half of Republicans and Democrats admit they would resort to violence to advance their agenda. Is the problem a slip in faith in democracy, or a wrong view of the state? What everybody has right is that there is something very wrong with the nation. It's the root cause and the antidote that folks are not getting right. The solutions to social challenges will only be found in a rebuild of family and church. The solution for the state is always reformation and regeneration, not revolution.

Oregon has become a portrait of what a spiritually-bankrupt, burned-out, post-Christian blue state looks like. It's the worst state in America on the Evil Index, and here's why. The school system has failed—it’s the worst in the nation. First state to legalize adult-killing, marijuana, etc. is losing residents fast now. Have the churches really demonstrated any substantial faith? Oregon needs a spiritual revival. The churches need to repent. The grassroots need faith. Should men of God stand up and shout down this abomination called socialism, liberalism, atheism, anti-Christian insanity? We say, “Yes.”

Wars and rumors of wars are on the increase. For the year 2022, Uppsala University reports the highest number of wars in modern history (since World War II). Vulnerabilities and instabilities run higher than ever now. We present a little history on the root cause for the wars of the nations. But now . . . the lines are increasingly drawn between traditionalist countries that still have some sense of a social order . . . and the homosexualized nations of the world. The lines are increasingly drawn between East and West . . . and ironically, Israel is right in the middle between East and West.

The Moral Confusion at Harvard

Man is always a moral creature, and yet what happens when Harvard University loses its moral compass? The compass is spinning out of control now, and nobody knows which woke is the wokest. Why was antisemitism a sin, and on what basis? What about abortion? What about anything that goes on in this world? The secular university has a really hard time answering those questions. Here we review the decline of American moral standards at the university, and the decline of the American academic performance. The average ACT steadily declined from 22.0 to 19.5 since 1970. Average math scores dropped from 22.0 to 19.0 over the same time period.

America - Third Most Tattooed Nation

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 11:18:00 -0400

Italy, Sweden, and the US are the most tattooed nations on Earth. Now, 56% of women ages 18 to 29 and 53% of women ages 30 to 49 are tattooed in this country. The post-Christian nations went for it at the turn of the 21st century, while pagan nations went the other way. Cultural expression is the externalization of worldview. Generally, cultural phenomenon is an honest reflection of a person's real religion, or at least the expression of the predominating worldview. We look at the two most common reasons for tattooing—identity or identification and self-definition, and recommend Jesus' tattoo over all the others.

Halloween and Horror on the Rise

The number of witches in the US increased from 8,000 in 1990 to 340,000 in 2008, and exceeded 1.5 million in 2020. Halloween expenditures in the US have doubled since 2007, and the horror genre in the movie theater has almost tripled in marketshare in 10 years. There are three worldviews that collide in these films—the sovereignty of God, the sovereignty of man, and the sovereignty of evil. The fear of God, the fear of man, and the fear of evil. . . . Guess who loses in the movie theater? We proclaim the true Gospel. Christ really did crush the head of the serpent! Death took the death blow at the cross and by His resurrection! God will judge evil, and God is to be feared. And Christians do not celebrate Halloween, and the Day of the Dead.

Gaping Hole in the Hull of Evangelicalism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Evangelicalism is coming apart on the question of repentance. Does following Jesus include leaving the world and the LGBT lifestyle? Does a sinner need to be repentant to be part of a church, or should the homosexual, the homosexual “married” guys, the pedophiles, and others feel comfortable joining the rest of the sinners sitting in the pews? Did Jesus draw lines or circles? What does the parent do when a young son or daughter comes “out of the closet?” Pray. Grieve. Call to repentance. Then, wait for the prodigal to come back home.

Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus address Andy Stanley's October 1st sermon defending North Point Community Church's homosexual-affirming Unconditional Conference and Rev. Albert Mohler's two World Magazine columns entitled "The train is leaving the station: Andy Stanley's departure from Biblical Christianity" and "Go and sin no more: Andy Stanley doubles down on his departure from Biblical Christianity."

The government's endorsement of sexual perversion is increasingly leading to the government's endorsement of child sexual abuse.

Now, the civil case against Phillip could very well establish precedent to normalize and legalize child sexual abuse. Phillip joins us here and lays out the control of the battle. Powerful forces are working hard to break through the final barriers to sexual perversion. The decriminalization of pedophilia is in the works, with the support of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Planned Parenthood International, and is gaining momentum in many countries.

The worldwide faith tradeoff from North and West to South and East was laid out in the 2023 release of Gordon Conwell Seminary's Status of Global Christianity Report—a stark illustration of the collapse Western Christianity. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to 21.9% of the world population. The two world people groups had exchanged positions over 123 years. The South ascended while the North declined. Meanwhile, Islam had increased its pull upon the world from 12% to 25% between 1900 and 2023, and atheists/agnostics increased from 0.2% to 11.1% over the same timeframe. We look at the reasons for the decline, and the critical need for reviving and reformation now.

Coach Kennedy Loses the Battle

The US Supreme Court tried to get Coach Joe Kennedy's job back, but the high court is powerless to change the heart of America. The coach lost his job anyway after SCOTUS ruled in his favor. Christians fight for symbolic battles, but they are losing the cultural war at every front. If a Christian school wants to fire an Islamic coach who prays on the field six times a day, do they have that right? What we need is a Christian state, but the only way to get that is to restore Christian churches to the nation . . . which might produce Christian senators and representatives and judges. We're a long way from that. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is get the government completely out of the business of education. It's got to be tough for public schools attempting to maintain a pluralism that includes monotheism, polytheism, and atheism at the same time. How do they pull that off?

Federal Reserve policy surreptitiously shifted most of the wealth of the nation over to the top 10% of the population over the last 10 years. But that's nothing compared to what the Russians pulled off when shifting the wealth of the nation from the communists to the oligarchs. Who would have known that Marxism would have turned out this way? A real disappointment to the utopian socialists of the last 175 years!

United Nations Education Framework 2030

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 13 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

The United Nations Education Framework 2030 promises to export social justice, inclusion, LGBT, and all the other wokey programs to the world. And they are making progress! However, the one thing standing in the way of this international agenda is . . . parents, and more specifically, Christian parents who are committed to bringing their children up in the paideia of the Lord Jesus Christ. Kevin Swanson speaks with Kevin Boden from HSLDA International on the battle for freedom on the international scene.

Pakistan Persecution:

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Every day on The Worldview, we feature another story of the persecution of believers somewhere around the world. Well, today, on Generations Radio, guest host Adam McManus interviews Michael Parves, a 61-year-old native Pakistani missionary, whom McManus met personally at church in San Antonio, Texas, who has experienced persecution first hand.

After growing up as a nominal Catholic who attended church twice a year, God got Michael's attention in 1993 when he miraculously survived a train crashing into his car. Since he trusted Christ as Savior, he has planted 33 churches!

But Satan hates to see the advancement of God’s Kingdom. So, in the Muslim-majority country, Michael's spiritual antagonists have burned down three separate homes of his in 2007, 2013, and 2020—all because he refuses to deny Christ and follow Allah. Plus, his eldest son was kidnapped in 2013, tortured for two weeks, and left for dead at 12 midnight in the street. Open Doors lists Pakistan as the seventh most dangerous country to be a Christian.

Five years ago, Michael founded an orphanage which now houses 87 children. (It costs $30/month to provide food, clothing, and medical care per child.) Providing food for the kids has become increasingly difficult with the skyrocketing 42% inflation rate. That’s why they’re raising the funds to build a self-sustaining chicken farm with 400 chickens outside the city. That will enable them to both provide cost-effective eggs and chicken meat for the orphanage, as well as a desperately-needed income stream.

Send a donation made out to: Rio Grande Valley Prayer Center, their sister organization here in America, 3106 Harmony Lane, Mission, TX 78574. Write: “Pakistan Mission” in the memo. The prayer center then wires the money to a nearby bank in Pakistan.

The Religion of Veganism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Veganism has increased its adherents by six-fold in the last six years in this country, and it is catching on around the world. The West took on these ideas as early as the 1830s with the father of Louisa May Alcott. The Economist declared 2019 as "the year of the vegan." Christians are often caught up in this confusion of ideas and doctrine of demons (1 Tim. 4:1-4). We define the doctrine of veganism and then consider the weaker brother who eats "only vegetables" from Romans 14:1-3.

The US is pretty excited about the "gospel" of drag queens and woke, and now the US government is exporting this "wonderful" news to Ecuador, Botswana, and Hungary. Other nations are not as enthusiastic about it, however.

The Jimmy Buffett Worldview

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

One of the most successful pop musicians of all time, Jimmy Buffet has gone on to meet his Maker. But, what about his pedestrian philosophy that has appealed so much to the masses? “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” What appeared to be light and happy-go-lucky turned out to be a life of hopelessness and despair. We discuss the Jimmy Buffett worldview of irresponsibility, escapism from reality, the capitulation to the bondage of sin, and the futile attempts to ignore or bypass the curse of sin placed upon man in the garden.

Voddie Baucham: The Chosen Violates 2nd Commandment

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Is “The Chosen” TV series the greatest phenomenon of 21st-century Christianity? There have been over 500 million views of the series thus far. The Christian news sites erupted when Voddie Baucham suggested that the series was a 2nd-commandment violation. Do these pictures bias towards His humanity, and does that present an imbalanced view of the God-man, two-natures, distinct but not to be separated? What about picturing His deity? How does that violate the second commandment? We’re talking about 10% of the 10 commandments on this edition of Generations.

Two-thirds of these—the worst economies—are Socialist, countries turning socialist . . . Woke Western countries. The worst states in the US are following the same pattern—Blue states and welfare states. People are moving out of these states to safer havens.

Self-Defined Barbie and the Feminist

The most popular movie of the day is all about feminism and more fundamentally, self-determination. Sadly, Christian movie reviews and evangelicalism appear extremely confused on the issues that are most likely to destroy family, society, and their churches. Contrast the Barbie worldview with 2 Peter 3:1-5, 1 Timothy 2:8-15, and Titus 2:3-5, and what do you get? The death of manhood and womanhood is the death knell to society, and this film will help seal the deal.

The Roman Pope claims that the church’s view of slavery, homosexuality, and capital punishment are rightfully evolving depending on the social context (and whatever the world thinks is right at the time). We take a hard look at the 1978 PCUSA 60-page paper on homosexuality. Sadly, the apostate church has led the nations down to hell. The church was at the front of the pack and must take responsibility for the decline of the nations.

College E-Sport Programs and Avatar Movies

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Is this another good reason to attend college? World Magazine reports 240 universities, including Christian colleges, now sponsor e-sports programs—fake sports for gamers. Sports were supposed to be metaphor for warfare. Now, here is metaphor on metaphor, and people watch gamers play games! Avatar 1 and 2 are the first and third biggest blockbusters of all time. Video gaming, a $40 billion industry at the turn of the century, ballooned into a $260 billion industry by 2020, surpassing the music and movie industries by fifteen-fold (and the entire sports industry by more than double). It is the escape from God's reality.

That includes: Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. This is the doctrine of demons, and the basis is preposterous—greenhouse emissions, the worship of scientism, and earth worship.

Incredibly, for the first time in modern history, more Americans favor homeschooling than those who favor public schooling.

Children’s church, youth ministry, and highly age-segregated church programming fit well into the new social structures of the 20th century, but could not find basis in Scripture. Getting away from God’s order for family and church has been catastrophic for both.

What if both family and church experienced spiritual revival in the 21st century? What would happen in twenty years?

Tower of Siloam and Fires in Maui

So many years ago, pastors and presidents would call for days of repentance, fasting, and prayer when disaster struck. But those days are long gone. When the Tower of Siloam fell or when fires struck Maui, Jesus would say, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Does that sound compassionate to you, or does the present age define compassion wrongly? Our response first is the fear of God, and then repentance, and faith, and an increased awareness of His judgements and mercies.

Men of the world look at alcohol, marijuana, peyote, and the like as essentials for a decent “good time.” But what about us? Shall we be filled with the spirits, or filled with the Holy Spirit, as the basic constituent of glad fellowship?

Oppenheimer, Truman and the Bomb

What happens to a world that has abandoned a Christian worldview and has reverted to a science that does not fear God? Scorched earth warfare came back with a vengeance in the civil war under the military leadership of Sherman and Sheridan, and continued through the 20th century. The modern humanist-scientist developed a technology that could destroy a fairly large percentage of the world's population rather quickly. J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi are responsible—more aligned with a secular materialist, agnostic, and Hindu worldview than a Christian worldview. Then, Truman and Stimson were responsible for pushing the buttons. Nimitz, MacArthur, and Eisenhower were not supportive. But the more fundamental question is: How does this stand up against Deuteronomy 20?

Men Making Less Money Than 1979

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Women on average are making 32% more than they did in 1979 (on weekly earnings). Men are making 4% less. In 2021, almost twice as many women than men joined the workforce. The trend continues. Of all the net jobs the economy added in the past year, 3.3 million went to women and 3.1 million went to men. This socio-economic formula is unsustainable. Inflation has eaten away the standard of living by a huge percentage since 1979, but the dry rot is more a character problem than anything else.

Almost half of Christians say the Bible is ambiguous on its teaching on abortion. Why didn't Jesus speak on abortion or homosexuality? Was He pro-LGBT and pro-abortion? The Old Testament law is important to establish a biblical standard of ethics on abortion. But, some use Old Testament law unlawfully. They do not handle the law in the right way. How would we handle the law as Jesus did, or as the Apostles did in Acts 15 and Matthew 15?

Do they have a reason to doubt the integrity of the election? Of course they do. But the question has more to do with "how much fraud," not so much whether there was fraud. America breaks all the commandments. Why not the 9th commandment too? We get to the major concern with President Trump on this segment.

The Barbie Movie is the biggest box office blockbuster of the year so far. But, Barbie was a worldview. She started out a call girl for German men in 1959. She was made both a sex symbol and a feminist at the same time (self-defined, you can be whatever you want to be). She was out to seek role equality for women. Meanwhile, men were reduced to lap dogs, "accessories," partners in sexual sin, irresponsible louts, immature little boys playing computer games, and worst case, "sexual predators." Hers was a terribly destructive worldview for modern society. We end with a basic summary of biblical descriptives for the godly man.

Sound of Freedom - Movie Review

The tremendously popular film addressing child trafficking has generated a great amount of discussion online and elsewhere. There are conspiracy theories swirling around the release of the movie, but there are significant worldview issues to consider about this. Would anybody be surprised that the highest echelons of government were supportive of this particular sexual sin when they seem to support every other sexual sin in the book? Watch out for distraction and diversions, the fear of conspiracy and a jettisoning of the fear of God, an ignoring of the sovereignty of God, a failure to acknowledge our own sin, the many feeder sins that pour into this one, and a misidentification of the real sin—the violations of God's laws. These aren't just sins against a child or crimes against governments. Fundamentally, these are sins against a holy God.

While about 300-400 children are kidnapped in this nation each year, 25,000,000 children are introduced to pornography at ages 10-17, with the average age of first exposure at 12 years old. The universities are leading the way on this. Fully 23% of university students have identified as sexually perverted (LGBTQ), and liberal arts colleges claim a homosexual population of 40%. Only 1.5% of Harvard University professors claim to be conservative. Over 80% claim to be liberal, and 37% very liberal—an increase of 8% from the previous year.

Christians fall down before the wicked these days and corrupt the springs. Sadly, the church hardly speaks with a unified voice against the false religions that are capturing our institutions everywhere. Tyranny descends on the nations in every generation largely through fake Christians, do-gooders, prohibitionists, social-gospelites, social justice warriors, and other antinomians. We explain here why Woke is bad, why feminism is bad, and other worldly ideologies that are counter to the laws of God. Churches want to avoid the discussions because they want to avoid controversy, or they say that they are committed to "the Gospel." But the law of God is part of the teaching related to the Gospel itself. Reject the law of God, and you have rejected the Gospel.

But, these sins represent only the tip of the iceberg. What about the rest of the iceberg? America is the porn capital of the world by a factor of 12-fold (on a per capita basis). Pro-aborts are much more passionate about the issue than pro-lifers . . . on average. In 2004, there were only 5% committed pro-abortion voters . . . that has increased to 17%. In 2004, there were about 9% committed pro-life voters . . . now it's still about 9%. Here is one solution for this reticence to repent . . . root and branch.

Shakespeare’s Homosexual Sonnets

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Sadly, it was the liberal arts and literature of nations that led the apostasy of nations and opened the door to mainstreaming homosexuality. The pioneers were William Shakespeare, Marlowe, Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, and Oscar Wilde. The great literary giants seduced the mind and the heart of a nation over a generation, and they're still doing it. We go over Shakespeare's homosexual sonnets, Louisa May Alcott's testimony on her lifelong gender confusion, and Oscar Wilde's testimony at his trial. The greatest risk in the education of children is literature and the curriculum chosen. It's time for a reformation in liberal arts, especially among homeschooling families.

Harry Potter and Christians

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Harry Potter is the biggest pop-cultural phenomenon in the post-Christian zeitgeist today. The tenth movie in the franchise raked in $400 million last week at the box office. After reading the eighteenth encouragement from Christian reformed/classical/literary enthusiasts to embrace Harry Potter, Kevin Swanson finally reads the book and watches a Harry Potter film. Shall we encourage our eight-year-olds into this fantasy genre? Or would this sign us up for the Matthew 18:6 treatment? Here is a careful analysis of the Harry Potter worldview in this parallel universe of autonomy.

Worship Music: The Basic Principles

Most everybody acknowledges by now that there is something very wrong with the modern evangelical mess. Young people are seeking the authentic, the biblical, the true, the essential, and the foundational. It is the God-centered. It is the work of God, not the work of man. It is the fear of God . . . and heart-love for God—and it will manifest itself in music.

Women Lead Dying Denominations

After fifty years of incorporating women leadership into churches, the survey is in . . . women lead in dying denominations. A careful analysis of women-led denominations indicates terrible trends towards liberalism and serious membership attrition. Where men abdicate as spiritual leaders in family and church, the results are catastrophic for the faith in following generations. Steadfast anchoring to faith amidst the storms will require men at the helm. The breakdown of men in family and church is a curse on society. The judgment of God is seen upon a nation where men are walking down the river. And, there is no fixing a nation or churches without a restoration of men . . . who will retain faith in God . . . and begin to lead again in home and church.

The Controlled Demolition of Nation States

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:00:00 -0400

The wrong view of man's nature results in the wrong view of everything, leading to tyranny, the centralization of power and wealth in the hands of a few oligarchs, and the demolition of nation states. Here is an article from the American Thinker that carefully details how the centralization of control of money leads to the slow but steady destruction of an economy through inflationary policies. John Maynard Keynes showed his cards at one point, admitting that, "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million can diagnose."

Shall Christians Confront Culture?

Should Christians involve themselves politically? Should the church warn civil leaders? Why is the church so paralyzed when it comes to cultural matters? We can speak of escaping the world, ignoring the world, transforming the world, or amalgamating into worldly culture—but is anybody speaking of “overcoming” the world? That’s the word to use, because it is the biblical word. Here we review Eric Metaxas’s book “Letter to the American Church.”

Sue’s abortion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 09:29:00 -0400

In 1981, at the age of 21, Sue Liebel had an abortion. Other than her friend, who drove her to and from Planned Parenthood 90 minutes from her home, she didn’t tell another soul for 30 years!

In an interview with guest host Adam McManus, she describes what was going through her mind as she walked up the steps of that Indiana abortion mill, the sound of that suction machine that haunts her to this day, and the recovery room where six other young women sat in a circle of navy blue La-Z-Boys, hanging their heads in shame.

After grappling with the emotionally traumatic aftermath of abortion, she came to faith in Christ at the age of 38. Subsequently, she attended a life-changing abortion recovery weekend with other women who experienced the forgiveness and healing that only a Savior could give.

Today, Sue Liebel is the Director of State Affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro Life America, the largest pro-life political group in the country. She and her husband, David, live in Indianapolis, Indiana.

This show is the perfect conversation to mark the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision which was handed down on June 24, 2022, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case which had legalized abortion.

In the midst of the Left’s push of “pride” this month, actor Kirk Cameron joins guest host Adam McManus to talk about the need for Christians to be known for their humility. In addition to a discussion about Woke companies like Bud Light, Target, Cracker Barrel, and Chick-fil-A, they discuss Kirk’s second kids’ book entitled Pride Comes Before the Fall.

Written for 3- to 12-year-olds, the Brave Books series releases a new unapologetically Christian, vividly illustrated 9”x9” paperback book each month.

Based on Freedom Island, that should remind adults of America, the characters battle evil where truth prevails.

Cameron talks glowingly about other books in the series including Elephants Are Not Birds, which rejects the transgender pablum of today, and The Island of Free Ice Cream, which rejects the foolishness of socialism.

Your Son’s Purity

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0400

In part three of Adam McManus’ three-part conversation with Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms Raising Sons to Be Men, she offers Biblical insight for moms on how to navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence.

They tackle three helpful chapters entitled:

* Impart the Vision: The Man He Will Become

* Tools for Autonomy: Equipped for Independence

* Even If You Don’t Know What to Say: How to Talk to Your Son about Sex and Purity.

In case you missed the two previous conversations, listen to Adam’s first interview with Rhonda which featured lessons from Moses’ mother and David’s mother. And check out his second interview which featured lessons from Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau, Salome, the mother of James and John, and Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Cindi McMenamin, author of When Women Walk Alone, said, “You will be encouraged, enlightened, and empowered to become the mom you’ve always wanted to be – and to guide your son into becoming the man God intended.”

Lessons from Rebekah

What lessons can today’s Christian mothers glean from Rebekah, the mother of Esau and Jacob, Salome, the mother of James and John, two of Christ’s 12 disciples, and Mary, the mother of Jesus Himself?

Rebekah and Salome often made the wrong decisions which no mother should emulate. By contrast, Mary was a humble, courageous young woman who inquired of the Lord, knew her purpose, knew God as her Savior, and knew the Word of God.

In this second of three conversations with guest host Adam McManus, Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms Raising Sons to Be Men, shares Biblical insights from these three mothers of Scripture.

In Adam's first interview with Rhonda, they discussed fascinating Biblical insights for Christian mothers from Jochabed, the mother of Moses, as well as the unnamed mother of David. And in his third interview, Rhonda addressed how moms can encourage their sons to choose chastity before marriage.

Final Battle

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0400

America's next presidential election could be her last. That’s the contention of David Horowitz, the author of America’s #1 bestselling new political book entitled Final Battle.

Guest host Adam McManus asks him why:

* Democracy as we know it is being obliterated at the hands of Democrats who pose a deadly threat to our freedom.

* Their real goal is a one-party state–and they are willing to break even Constitutional provision, law, precedent, and procedure–to see that it happens.

Horowitz, a former Communist, reveals:

* The Left's horrifying plan to turn America into a socialist nation.

* America is on the precipice of another civil war.

* How Democrats use the mere act of challenging a vote as treason.

* The real story of January 6, 2021.

* How Biden's Department of Education bribed schools to continue to push an anti-American curriculum, CRT, racism, and the 1619 Project.

* That the Green New Deal is not about clean energy.

* That Biden’s $15 trillion spending on post-COVID stimulus sparked massive inflation.

The author of Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, this Jewish agnostic is also working on a book about Martin Luther and the creation of America.

Crisis in Manipur, India

Since mid-May, Christians have been targeted by radical Hindus in Manipur, India, a Northeastern state of 3.5 million people. The believers represent 41% of the population there. To date, 108 villages have been completely destroyed, and 200 churches and 1,700 homes have been burned down. In addition, 80 people have been killed, 270 have been injured, and 66,000 people—mostly Christ followers—have been displaced from their homes, reports Global Christian Relief.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews David Curry, President of Global Christian Relief, formerly Open Doors USA, about how Generations listeners can help our brothers and sisters in Christ. Global Christian Relief has opened two emergency relief centers in a nearby Indian state, offering food, shelter, clothing, and medicine.

For $70, you can help one Indian brother or sister in Christ.

The Unseen Crisis

First, the government told us that the COVID vaccine would prevent infection. Then, it claimed that the COVID vaccine would prevent transmission of the coronavirus. What we were never told was that there was a risk of serious injury or death.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Cindy Drukier (pronounced DROOK-air), The Epoch Times producer and narrator of an eye-opening 90-minute documentary entitled The Unseen Crisis: Vaccine Stories You Were Never Told.

Not surprisingly, YouTube blocked the trailer, claiming its providing false information. However, in the documentary, you’ll not only see the lives of people suffering from the COVID-19 vaccine, but also evidence that shows fraud surrounding the vaccine clinical trials, as well as the indifference and inactivity of government agencies when it comes to researching adverse events.

Marking the May 24, 2023, one-year anniversary of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting when 18-year-old Salvador Ramos killed 19 kids and 2 teachers and injured 17 others, guest host Adam McManus talks with Michael Letts, a 30-year veteran of law enforcement.

Letts, who was born on the mission field in Mexico and who graduated from Liberty University where he was the bodyguard for the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, addresses why:

* It took 77-minutes for the police to finally take out Ramos.

* The former Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo hesitated for so long to give the command to breach the classroom. (He was eventually fired.)

* 90% of U.S. police do not have an “active shooter” bullet proof vest made with titanium to protect them from an AK-47 or an AR-15-style rifle.

The Bidens’ Chinese Sell-out

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Kevin Jackson, a former Fox News contributor, about how bank records reveal that the Biden family has received $10 million from China and foreign interests.

Indeed, in mid-April, China fired a warning shot at President Biden when a Chinese-American bank supplied Senate Republicans with records showing millions of dollars flowing from Chinese companies to Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden.

Those deposits have bought a widening trade deficit with the Communist country and Biden’s leniency on China despite their stealing American secrets and technology.

Jackson outlines the Biden family’s treasonous behavior and predicts that Biden will not be the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee. Citing cognitive health concerns, he will resign before his term has expired, allowing Vice President Kamala Harris to rise to the presidency. The powers behind the throne will insist that the one thing she does in exchange is pardon the Biden family members for having illegally sold access to Joe Biden.

Fame has done some very bad things for folks like Joshua Harris, Mark Driscoll, and the Duggars (to some extent). There is a thin line between ambition and just being faithful to the talents God has given you. How did Jesus deal with fame? There are examples of some who have handled fame without collapsing, but usually not with young people tossed into fame head-first.

Amazon’s recent docu-series was all up in arms that “Generation Joshua” or “Teen Pact” might have played a part in the vast right-wing conspiracy to "take America back." But now, Alex Harris (one of the participants) is backing away from this sort of Christian political involvement. But what’s up with The Gospel Coalition, Christianity Today, and the E.R.L.C? Is there a “Gelatinizing of the Faith” going on with American evangelicals? Have they capitulated to the matter of the slaughter of 15 million babies a year, and the mainstreaming of sexual perversion? Is the "Kinder and Gentler" evangelicalism going to stop fighting ‘em, and maybe even join ‘em? As conservatives and Christians lose and lose some more in the culture war, what are their options? Soften. Abandon God's law as a standard. Become friends with that worldly zeitgeist fellow. Embrace a pessimistic eschatology. Abandon politics entirely . . . or . . .

The Christian Church Divides in 21st Century

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0400

First came the East-West divide. Then came the Protestants. Now comes a third divide in the history of the Christian church. And this time, the divide comes in response to the pressures of the cultural power centers, the "zeitgeist," or the humanist Borg that has taken over Western institutions. This time, the divide is centered around Scriptural authority relating to matters of history and ethics. The divide began with what was called "liberalism" or "modernism" in the 1920s and 1930s. But now, it's developed into an all-out war against the horror of Wokism, LGBT-ism, antinomianism, a watering down of the Gospel itself, an undermining of biblical truth and ethics at every level. Even the UMC is splitting apart now. Some of the divide will prove only a thin-coated conservatism . . . developing out of the gross-out factor for having to adopt homosexual behavior among the clergy. But others will actually acknowledge God to be lawgiver, and sin to be a transgression of the law of God . . . and Jesus Christ as the Savior who has come to set us free from the bondage of this sin.

National Media Goes After Homeschooling

The Washington (Com)Post introduces a series of articles intended to go after homeschooling, beginning with a few dissatisfied homeschool grads they scraped up from somewhere. Actually, based on a large survey, it turns out 14% of Christian kids raised in homeschool apostatized. But 28% of Christian kids who went to Christian school apostatized, and 34% of public schoolers apostatized. But how does this happen? While God is sovereign over all fruit-bearing plants in the field, there are some lessons to be learned from our own failures. Some blame spanking. But what about parent-child relationships, high levels of hypocrisy in the home, and superficial fundamentalism, or a failure to inculcate a solid biblical worldview?

Barna's recent study finds a super majority of Americans AND Christians have a negative view of megachurches and mega pastors. But also, evangelicals are not liked either. But, why the trend? About half of evangelicalism moved into large megachurches between 1970 and 2014. But, Jesus's view of Christian community goes beyond the superficiality and transience of modern life. The body of Christ is perpetually wounded. Christ's community involves 490 forgivenesses, persecutions at the hands of the world, deeper relationships and deeper wounding, and always an intensified view of our sin and hypocrisy . . . and His redemption. The programs, bucks, and buildings don't count for much. The church is planted in tears and bloodshed . . . through 1,000 demonic attacks . . . through brokenness, through pain, through agony . . . through anguish . . . through a million prayers . . . and ultimately, by the power of God and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Authoritarianism and Sovereignty of Man

Secular media is having a heyday going after the Christian ministries linked to scandals taking place with the Duggar family and Hillsong. While you can't count on the Washington [com]Post to rightly discern the issues surrounding Ananias and Saphira (or any other problem in the church), we want to be sure that we identify the ditches into which Christians may fall. We point out the ditches of antinomianism and legalism, both of which end in catastrophe. Theology matters. Authoritarianism and the sovereignty of man can do a great deal of damage. If Christians will not embrace God's full-orbed law or commit themselves solidly to the doctrine of the sovereignty of God, they will give way to a shallow faith, man-made rules, a man-centered theology, and a ministry that won't sustain when the fire burns.

Fox News has been outed as committed to the Woke/Transgender agenda. But Sean Hannity is still hanging in there. We offer three reasons why conservativism is the wrong worldview for Christians. While the honor of tradition can be helpful and an extension of common grace, there are three problems with conservative media and politics. Fake conservatives will oppose drag queens for 6-year-olds, but they're still okay with kinky pornography for 26-year-olds . . . and William Shakespeare's homosexual sonnets. Too many conservatives surrender the principle with King Saul (and preserve Agag in the process).

Big Blue City Bleed

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

The big blue cities like New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago are losing millions, and the trend continued well into 2022. New York City is looking more like a gigantic ghost town, especially with the depopulation of office space. A full twenty-six Empire State Buildings could fit into New York City's empty office space. All of this is good news for those who have watched the blue cities corrupt themselves for too long. The Babel principle kicks in with the trend toward decentralization, exodus from the big cities, weapons of mass destruction, telecommuting, and the reversal of Roe v. Wade to the determination of the states. We end with some helpful guidance for families who wish to be freed from the slavery of debt and the bondage of the big cities. Hey, big city, turn me loose and set me free.

Top 10 Most Dangerous Books

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 May 2023 10:09:00 -0400

Here is a list of the top 10 most dangerous books used in typical highschool (and college) literature programs. These are highly influential and insidious classics that must be carefully discerned and considered by a worldview analysis. Included on the list are The Call of The Wild, Frankenstein, Of Mice and Men, and others. These books mark the Christian apostasy or the apologetics department for atheistic secularism and the nihilism of the day. Let us not approach this stuff like the babe in the woods . . . but fully prepared to cast down imaginations. . . .

The Abusive Wife: Ministering to the Contentious Woman

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

The sins of wives are just as important as the sins of husbands in the biblical counseling room. Dr. David Edgington is the author of the book, "The Abusive Wife: Ministering to the Contentious Woman." He calls this a major problem in the present feminist-driven culture. There is hope for husbands and wives caught in this terrible cycle of the biblically-defined sin of reviling.

Christian leaders like Rod Dreher, Al Mohler, and Douglas Wilson are seriously grappling with the question. What next? What happens at the burial of a burned-out secularism? Are we salvaging or rebuilding? But more importantly, are we optimistic or pessimistic? Shall we get bound up in questions over the short-term end game? What if we don’t make much progress in our own lifetimes? What if our eschatological expectations or ministry goals are not met? What are the things Jesus has taught us to rejoice in? What is the prime motivator?

The End of Secularism Approaches

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 22 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

The end of these secular empires is quickly approaching, and the left is reading the handwriting on the wall. The two leading US presidential candidates for the Republicans in the 2024 election are still closely supported by Christian nationalists. The tired old accusation against Christians, for wanting to obliterate the separation of church and state, has returned again in a NYT article. What Christian do you know wants the state to control the church, or pastors/pope to veto bills passed by state legislatures? Are we really seeking for governments to control what sermons churches may or may not stream on the world-wide web?

How often do people comment that things were better off back in the good 'ol days? Certainly the seeds planted in the 1960s and 1970s have produced a stinking bad crop. Only the Democrats are excited about the ruined socio-economic system. But altogether considered, the remnant of faith is toughening, the hymnody is more robust and less sentimental, and Franklin Graham is telling it the way it is. Flaky churches are going away.

Abortion Kill Pill Dangers

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 17 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Ingrid Skop, a Christian pro-life obstetrician in San Antonio, Texas about the dangers of the Abortion Kill Pill. 53% of mothers who abort today use chemical abortion instead of surgical abortion.

As the Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, she documents that in 2020 alone, 500,000 American mothers aborted their unborn babies by taking the Abortion Kill Pill. 25,000 of them either had to go to the emergency room or required additional surgery.

What most women don’t know is that:

* There are major international studies which show that the abortion pill regimen carries four times the risk of complications as surgical abortion!

* The abortionists fail to screen for ectopic pregnancies where the baby has dangerously been growing inside one of the woman’s fallopian tubes. 2% of pregnant women have ectopic pregnancies.

* 1 out of 20 women cannot expel all of the pregnancy dead tissue. This leads to serious, possibly life-threatening, hemorrhaging and bleeding.

* The Abortion Kill Pill can fall into the hands of sex traffickers and abusive partners who are giving it to women without their knowledge or against their will!

Contrary to the abortion industry’s lie, the Abortion Kill Pill is not safer than Tylenol. The FDA is supposed to protect Americans from dangerous drugs. In this case, it has failed miserably! Learn more at www.AbortionDrugFacts.com.

A Word to Christian Wokies

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 12 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Reparations for all the sins committed by every nation and every tribe on Earth over the last 6,000 years would cost $800 quadrillion plus. There is no atonement possible for the woke religion. The severity of Marxist Wokies allows for no mercy on themselves or anybody else. But, what does God's law say about the great-great-great grandchildren paying for the sins of their great-great-great grandfathers? The California governor has announced his definition of the original sin, but this has nothing to do with God's definition—disobedience to God and disobedience to God's law.

Abandoning Faith for Prosperity

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 02 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Does prosperity bring happiness? Does education bring prosperity? That's the question addressed on this segment of Generations. South Korea is abandoning the Christian faith as the country grows more prosperous—and this is especially so among the younger generation. Evangelical churches saw a 20% drop off in church membership over the last 10 years. Church attendance with the largest denominations across the nation dropped from 17.8% to 13.6% between 2011 and 2021. The country may have the fastest-growing economy in the West, at the expense of abandoning the faith. Young people are more likely to attend school or after-school school than church on a Sunday. What is it that lends to long-term prosperity of a country? Education isn't the answer. Prosperity comes from God.

Stock Buybacks, Debt, and You

As we glance over the final chapter of the US economy, we witness the last-ditch efforts on the part of corporate America and the US government to keep the behemoth alive. The pitiful efforts on the part of Apple, Chevron, Bed Bath and Beyond, Visa, Discover, Nike, Cisco, Walmart, Morgan Stanley, and Home Depot looks a lot like the final chapter of the US government spending. There is an appearance of value, but less and less substance to it every day. The deficits/GDP and debt servicing are all spinning out of control, since the cycle began in 2001, and to some extent in 1980. But, where do Christians invest now? What is your best investment?

Conservatives are beginning to point to the spiritual realm as something of an active force in today's zeitgeist. It's hard to ignore the singular, phenomenal power these forces have had over the masses. . . . The rapidity at which these powers moved and the extent to which they achieved worldwide conquest was astounding. The whole operation took place over barely 70 years. Nothing short of a supernatural power could have brought this about. Rod Dreher, Jonathan Cahn, and Naomi Wolf all speak to this. Kevin Swanson provides a 150-year history of the demonic assault on our institutions here, beginning with Andrews Jackson Davis, the Foxes, Manley Palmer Hall, and Madame Blavatsky. This is transferred into the Pop Rock scene of the 1950s and 1960s, paving the way for the revolution. The testimonies tying directly into the occult from Elvis Presley, Little Richard, John Lennon, Jerry Lee Lewis, Keith Richards, Mick Jaggar, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame will blow your mind.

Eastern Orthodox countries are retaining some traditional morality. But why are the Protestant countries turning into the worst countries in the world? We attempt an answer to the question here.

At this point, the insane in the asylum are panicked that the sane might have discovered the insanity of it all.

Americans are increasingly losing patriotism but embracing big government socialism. They don't like their country, but they rather favor the government, especially if it's a real big government that promises to solve their problems for them. Americans are losing interest in faith in God, family, children, community, and relationships in favor of self-definition, self-worship, self-everything, isolation, and gender dysphoria.

America Is Not Pro-Life

The US Supreme Court turned the decision on abortion back over to the people in the respective states with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. America is failing the test. We have failed to achieve 6 pro-life initiatives or referendums so far, involving elections in Kentucky, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Montana. Wisconsin's vote on the Supreme Court justice was a landslide this week, in strong favor of abortion (in the ballot box). Kevin Swanson estimates that there are about 6 pro-life states left. It’s hard to believe the pro-life position will survive at a national level, given the spirit of the electorate. Has a nation ever reversed course when it has gone this far down the pike?

The Democrat-to-Republican ratio among college professors is now a whopping 8.5 to 1, and among younger professors 10.5 to 1, and among female professors 16.4 to 1. Why are colleges so liberal?

Child killing in the womb gives birth to other forms of child killings.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Here is a good picture of what the US and Europe will look like in 2050. The story of Japan is a poignant one—as we learn about the first child to be born in this village of 6,000 in 25 years! The abortions, the Ponzi schemes, the socialism, the death culture, the existentialist, self-centered nightmare, and the destruction of marriage and family will come home to roost on humanity. But, what will the Christians do?

How Christians View Trump

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Will Donald Trump be arrested or arraigned by God or a District Attorney? And who is this DA who has been financed by the Soros clan? How are Christians to be wise, prudent, charitable, and appropriate in consideration of and support for Donald Trump? What must we do with the rumors, the news reports, the political wranglings, the corrupt legal system, etc.? Our chief concern is less political than spiritual. Our main interest is for his salvation.

Vaccines and Your Children

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

State requirements for vaccines are cinching up for children, especially after the Covid crisis. Is it time for parents to be more informed, and what does God's Word say about family jurisdiction in this area? Here is a legal update for families.

The Academy Awards 2023

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 09:08:00 -0400

The Academy's Oscar awards have finally tipped into full-bore nihilism for good—at least 3 out of the last 4 years. There was a little of it in 2007 and 1977 with Woody Allen's contribution. But, the avant garde film critics are now pretty well embedded in utter hopelessness and total commitment to a nihilist worldview. We compare the worthless Best Picture of 2022 with a Christian film that has garnered twice the interest with the audience.

Bailing Out Bad Banks

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

The history of bank runs and fractional reserve banking begins with a murderer/economist who lends a little help to the King of France. After the bank runs, John Law ran for the border. Nowadays, the Federal Reserve steps in to save the whole larcenous system . . . over and over and over again. But what does this do to the national character when irresponsible, feckless, unscrupulous, fractional-reserve banks fail, after which they are rescued by the federal government (which is tied up into the same thieving scheme)?

The Religion of Wokism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Fifty-six percent of Americans consider the Woke religion in a positive light. But what is this new awakening? This new religion has its own law-system, its own form of atonement and penance, and its own rituals. It’s all pretty random, and has nothing to do with the biblical faith, of course. But is this wayward faith so off-the-rails that its promulgators should be excommunicated from faithful Christian churches?

Nudity, Cannibalism, & Contextualization

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Primitive tribes, whether in the jungles of Ecuador or the suburbs of Chicago, have often taken up the cultural practice of nudity (or even cannibalism). Modern evangelicals will place such matters under the rubric of culture. We bring out the biblical view of nudity and distinguish between cultural elements and the moral element. How does one disciple the primitive peoples?

Why Obesity, Drug Deaths, on the Rise

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 09:11:00 -0400

Just when we thought science would save us, modern man is turning on himself. His bad economics are killing him. His bad worldview is killing him. His bad science is killing him. Life expectancy has dropped for the first time since Mao's Giant Leap Backward back in the 1950s. How has post-modern man tripped and fallen on his face? His economic prosperity is bankrupt and has become counterproductive. His economic success and welfare state is literally killing him. Bottom line—man cannot save himself. Abandoning the true Savior and King has resulted in a dead end for modern man.

Only 1% of Gen Z’ers Christian

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0400

George Barna is the bearer of more bad news, now with only 1% of Gen Z'ers holding to a biblical worldview (as pretty minimally defined). That's down from 12% in 1995. The Christian worldview situation in America is still bleeding out like a stuck pig . . . after 25 years of hard work on the part of Christian worldview ministries. What gives? Some of this is due to the infiltration of secular publishers into the Christian book market. Is it time to regroup and readjust our strategy for reaching the younger generation with a Christian worldview?

Precursor to Revival

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0500

We take a moment to review the New York Businessman's Revival of 1859, the Welsh Revival, the Korean Pentecost, and the Crossweeksung Revival with David Brainard. Does a holy anticipation, unified corporate prayer, and mountain-moving faith matter when it comes to unusual visitations of the Holy Spirit in corporate reviving? We all want to be part of something that is spiritually alive, that contributes to kingdom growth . . . but what is the precursor to reviving? Active, persistent, corporate prayer.

The Young People of Today

Young people today appear to be riddled with depression and low self-esteem. However, many young people in college also expect to be paid a six-figure salary upon entering the workforce. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address this odd phenomenon in our world today.

Boycott Woke? Boycott Target, et. al.?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0500

With everything going woke now, and Walmart about as bad as Target by the “woke indexes,” must we boycott just about every company now? We review the 1792 Exchange and 2ndVote.com, and consider the strategy when the opposing team has got us on our own 2-yard line. What are you called to do when it comes to standing for righteousness in an unrighteous world?

Pets That Kill and Reparations

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0500

We take up two relevant contemporary examples of how God's law must be maintained as the standard for human society. Governments have a choice between God's law or chaos. What must governments do when dogs kill humans? What do Christians say about efforts to reparations for those who have served as slaves, or those who have been kidnapped by Muslim slave traders in the 18th century, or the 21st century for that matter?

Idaho Redoubt - The Defensive Position

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 09:14:00 -0500

A "redoubt" is a small, often temporary, defensive fort, and some are attempting this in northern Idaho. We are back to the discussion—is this a time to concentrate the salt? Are we in a defensive position? Where can we live where the petty tyrants and big government tyrants might just leave us alone? Strategy, agenda, and calling is important and worth discussing. Will we shift our energies to local politics, or should Christians just abandon politics altogether? What's our first concern when it comes to building Christian community?

The Faith of Jimmy Carter

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Jimmy Carter has a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," and he believes that "Jesus Christ would approve gay marriage." Lesson learned: the American liberal theology of the 20th century yielded the liberal politics of the 20th century. And, beware of pat religious phrases stuffed with the wrong theology. We analyze former President Jimmy Carter's faith rooted in the fatal theology of Paul Tillich and Reinhold Niebuhr . . . as he approaches the end of his life. Pray for him.

Time to Move to Hills of Kentucky?

Families are moving out of the big blue cities into the red states, and they get 10 times the house for half the price (or something like that). But this brings up the bigger questions: Are Christians called to minister in the inner cities? Or will they make a bigger impact (culturally speaking) in the rural counties? Are we called to separatism or puritanism? We grapple with these big questions at one of the most critical moments in the history of a civilization—at the very fall of the West. Is it time to move your family?

The Big Hat No Cattle Economy

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

The stock market has turned into a casino. Nearly half the options on S&P 500 stocks as well as on SPY and QQQ have maturities of less than 24 hours (0DTE). This means that everybody is after a quick buck . . . a REALLY quick buck . . . about as quick as a slot machine in Vegas. Now, 60% of options traded had maturities of 1-2 days, up from 0% in 2010, and 6% in 2018. Investor-to-gambler ratio has changed dramatically . . . by 60-fold in thirteen years. What are the biblical principles that underlie a healthy economy? We go over them on this broadcast.

Doomsday Clock 90 Seconds to Go — Scientists Turn Pessimistic

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

After 80 years, the "Doomsday Clock" has been moved up to 90 seconds before midnight. That’ the closest humanity has ever been to “Armageddon.” What’s the worldview operating here? Worldly scientists have turned more pessimistic than ever, but will this be a self-fulfilling prophecy? We remind our listeners God is control, and He is destabilizing the nations. But, Christians must submit to God’s laws, remain humble, and seek the Lord. The second major nuclear arms race is now under way.

The Jen Wilkins Worldview

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Worldviews clash on this program, as Jen Wilkin encourages Christian families to support the public schools, allow for a pluralistic polytheistic worldview in the public schools, while being sure to avoid the "Christianizing" of public schools. Must we support a Marxist approach, allowing all children equal opportunities and equal access to wealth? Are we supposed to send our children into learning centers that are entirely rooted in a polytheistic or pluralistic worldview? Or are we supposed to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God?

The national media is all abuzz with what is happening at Asbury College in Kentucky. So far, 100,000 people have made their pilgrimage to the scene of the revivals. But how does the Bible define revival? What is it to be revived spiritually, and what are the biblical indications of a true Holy Spirit outpouring? Why is preaching and the Word of God more on the back burner with modern revivals—displaced by "worship music," testimony, and prayer groups?

Confessions of a Mass Murderer

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

What may be the most well-publicized, horrific murders in America as decried by the media has a redemptive element to it. The liberals hate God's redemption and God's law, but for some reason they get very preachy and religious in their deprecations for Charles Manson. Kevin Swanson points out how God redeems some murderers. Charles Tex Watson outlines the sins he committed to lead him to the Helter Skelter gruesome murders of 1969. Watson was raised in a Christian family and the first sin that led him to these nightmarish evils . . . disobedience to his parents.

Post-Roe Analysis

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 02:00:00 -0500

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Allan Parker, President of The Justice Foundation, who asserts that there are some intriguing similarities between the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education and the 2022 Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization rulings of the Supreme Court.

In both cases, the Supreme Court admitted it was wrong. In the first, they admitted that the races should not be segregated. In the second, they admitted that there was no constitutional right to abortion.

Plus, Parker addressed:

* the weaponization of the FBI through harassment and prosecution of peaceful, pro-life activists for standing on the right-of-way in front of abortion mills urging women to choose life at the last minute. Thankfully, pro-lifer Mark Houck, the father of 11, was acquitted on January 30th of the charge of allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

* the Safe Haven law that allows a woman to give up her child within 60 days to a fire station or hospital.

* the Biden administration's attempt to provide abortions to members of the military and their dependents on military bases in pro-life states that have outlawed abortion.

* Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abram’s justification of abortion for women who cannot afford gas or food.

Jesus Gets a Billion-Dollar Promotional Campaign

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Jesus gets a billion-dollar promotional campaign with Super Bowl ads, etc. The focal points are humanity, identification with man's feelings, and opposing hate and polarization. But still, Christ crucified doesn't market that well. What's the objective? Where are we going with all of our efforts? Let's keep the objective in mind—disciple the nations, call to repentance, and teach them to observe all He has commanded.

Pastors with Facial Piercings and Cranial Implants

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

We are questioned about pastors with facial piercings and cranial implants. And, what about converted neo-nazis sporting swastikas, converted Muslims wearing kufis, and converted homosexuals who carry on adorning themselves in feminine apparel? This brings up a short discussion on semiotics. What we are looking for is a little honesty, a true reflection of a worldview, and a self-consistent application of that worldview in cultural expression.

How Christian Publishing Led the Apostasy

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0500

A discussion on gender-neutral language with the TNIV and NIV leads to an investigation into Christian publishing. The timeline of Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, and Multnomah selling out to secular companies pretty much marks the collapse of American Christianity in the 2000s. Now, 54% of the large Christian publishers are owned by the likes of Harper Collins and Random House . . . in case anybody was wondering why the squish factor in Christian books increased in the last 15 years. But why is the worldview of feminism and gender neutrality so essential to the apostasy and the breakdown of Western civilization?

Kirk Cameron’s Left Behind Left Behind

Has Kirk Cameron left behind "Left Behind?" We consider a recent interview clip featuring Kirk, in the wake of another film episode of Left Behind ("The Rise of the Antichrist"). Does a certain eschatology require a pessimistic view of the church? What about polishing the brass on a sinking ship? How did short-term evangelism take the place of digging in for longer-term discipleship? Amid the apocalyptic fervor of the last 200 years, did we just lose 200 years of serious discipleship?

Rebuilding Out of the Ruins

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 02:00:00 -0500

The 2023 Grammys Award ceremony celebrated artists and songs featuring transgenderism, Satanism, and profanity. But the Grammys have turned into an irrelevant side show. Among 77 of the top-selling albums of all time, only 1 comes from the last 20 years . . . and that was 12 years ago. Popular music and the popular icons that go with it is done. It's over for the pop-culture phenomenon of the last 60 years. The world passes away with its lusts thereof, but he who does the will of God abides forever. What is the source of this destructive force on culture, and why is every major institution behind the destructive agenda? But how do we rebuild a culture out of the ruins, or do we resort to the metaphoric islands of culture and freedom?

Making No Respect of Persons in Judgment

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 09:10:00 -0500

Biblical law requires that we not give to any respect of persons in judgment when it comes to how we view evil. For the most part, the media does not comply with Biblical law in this matter, and most other areas of jurisprudence. Therefore, Christians need to be on their game in matters relating to police abuse (which can be a real issue), police who are killed in the line of duty, etc. We lay out the issue in biblical terms, using Luke 3, Exodus 21, and Deuteronomy 17:12-13.

Are Americans missing the message? Leading pastors are losing hope in the power of the Gospel, and they have given up on the conversion of homosexuals. Andy Stanley reveals a devastating breach of faith when giving up on the possibility of God saving homosexuals. This is a lapse of faith, and a breach of humility. Jesus didn't come to call the righteous, and those who are too proud to admit they are sinners. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance.

While the enemies of God will jump all over the scandals, the internal conflicts, and the shams of Christianity, they will never be able to sort out the good, the bad, and the ugly in the mix. While it isn't our job to sort out the Gothard mess and the basic life principles thereunto, we do wish to speak to the basic biblical principles by which we may better distinguish truth and error in any ministry or system of thought. We quickly tour through the ditches of legalism, antinomianism, wrong relationships of justification and sanctification, arbitrary hermeneutics, the sovereign-controlling tendencies of man-centered doctrine, and "the Lord told me" spiritual pseudo-authority.

Cremation Rates . . . 5.7% to 57.5%

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Here is one of the most interesting cultural shifts in the last 40 years. Cremation rates exploded from 5.7% to 57.5%, and this vision for burning up human bodies was let loose on the Western world in the 1880s by a Druid high priest from Wales. This makes for an ideal study of human culture and worldview because culture is religion externalized. Belief in the resurrection dropped off fast when the materialist worldview came on like a freight train into America and the West. What do you REALLY believe? What you really believe will betray itself in the compendium of choices you make in life . . . your cultural expression.

That's pretty much what's happening to the Western nations now. The major means by which this has happened is with the Education Complex, the Obamacare/Medical Complex, and the Disrespect for Marriage Act. The US federal government is extremely destructive.

Biden’s Religious Liberty Guy Is Muslim

President Biden appoints a Muslim as Ambassador for Religious Liberty while 99% of the religious martyrdoms in the world are Muslim on Christian. We get the message. The other fox in the hen house is the Nigerian president, recently commended by our president for his commitment to “democracy” or something. The largest genocides in the world right now are Muslim-participating—The Congo, Sudan, and Nigeria. Do Christians advocate for biblical justice, or mercy, or both? Do we have any concern for the persecuted church, and do we call for the vengeance of the Lamb? How does Luke 18:1ff apply?

Eric Metaxas: Speak up!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 09:11:00 -0500

Christian talk show host Eric Metaxas felt compelled to write the book Letter to the American Church.

After having studied the German church during the Nazi era in his research for his exceptional biography entitled Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, he was struck by the disturbing similarities with today’s American church.

Guest host Adam McManus talks with Metaxas who echoes Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call. The nationally syndicated talk show host exhorts Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late. After all, it was the brave Bonhoeffer who famously said, “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.”

Sadly, when the American church saw the evil implemented by Democratic Senator Lyndon Johnson of Texas in 1954 through the Johnson Amendment, it remained silent.

The church desperately needs courage to speak up in the face of today’s evils of abortion, evolution, euthanasia, sexual perversion, and the Left’s indoctrination of children.

Jordan Peterson Persona Non Grata

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:42:00 -0500

Jordan Peterson is running into loggerheads with that other godless religion—psychology. He's persona non-grata with that system that worships man and looks into man for salvation. He's about to lose his license to practice psychology in Canada. But do we care if a Hindu priest is defrocked by his priestly convention? Not really. We compare worldly psychology to a biblical world and life view relating to anthropology and man's basic problem.

Why Protests Don’t Work for the Right

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

The Pink Tide of Socialism is swallowing up South America (and North America as well, for that matter). Protests work for the Left, but they don't work for the Right—only because the media is always controlled by the Left. The staged leftist protests get the coverage from the 90% of media controlled by the Left, while the protests on the Right are made to look stupid and gain little momentum via media. Communists and anarchists are actually best friends, both of which reject God's law. What's the solution for corrupt governments and tyrannical dictatorships? Only the rise of self-government and the discipleship of nations could possibly reintroduce liberty to the world (whether that be Brazil or the US). Liberty is not possible where there is no adequate self-government . . . or where 84% of children are born out of wedlock, and single moms make up almost half the population.

Convenience Abortion More Convenient

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Convenience abortion is more convenient than ever, with Mifepristone abortions (the kill pill) increasing to anywhere from 650,000 to 1.6 million per year in this country. The FDA is doing everything possible to ease up restrictions on DIY abortions. There were more than 2 abortions in Kentucky in September and October of last year. What are the health risks? What happens to a society when the love of so many has grown this cold? How will Christians respond? How do we put these demons back into Pandora's box? God can.

Protecting Children in the Internet Age

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Warning: Consider not including children with this edition of Generations.

A new report from Common Sense Media finds that Christian/Religious schools are far worse than public schools when it comes to peer-influencing and porn-sharing (41% vs. 20%). Less accessibility at home means more accessibility with peers. The majority of children have seen explicit pornography by 13 years of age, up from virtually 0% in the early 1970s. Is there any way that we can avoid stumbling the little ones, and avoid the millstone treatment mentioned in Matthew 18?

Christian Kids' Worldview Slipping

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Christian kids attending public schools and Christian schools have registered a non-stop steady decline in adherence to a Christian worldview over 35 years straight. Only homeschools and a few principle-approach Christian schools have done better. Dan Smithwick from Nehemiah Institute explains the recent trends and the reason why there is still no improvement in the overall numbers. Education matters. The shift in Christian civilization in the West occurred at the turn of the 20th century in the schools under the influence of John Dewey and the Frankfurt School.

Shocking Moment in Big TV History

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

One of the most shocking moments in the history of Big TV played out last week when the whole professional sports scene turned religious—briefly. An ESPN analyst stopped everything to pray on national television. But why? Did 50 people die in a snowstorm, and another 100 get killed in a hurricane hitting the shores of Florida? Worshiping sports, science, or politics—the national religion is still wrong. Whereas one sports figure collapses on the field may not indicate much in terms of a national problem. But what about 1,100 in a single year?

The Kind-of Loyal Opposition

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Not much of the loyal opposition showed up in the 2022 election. Trump blames conservative pro-lifers for not bending on rape and incest exceptions, but at the same time, the former president points the finger at pro-lifers for not being active enough post-Roe reversal. The more basic challenges are still education, pop-culture, the churches, and the lack of Christian-based news media. Why the contradiction in Kentucky? Abortion is down in numbers, but the people vote pro-abortion in the 2022 election. The heart of the nation is severely compromised.

What about our Christian friends who now “accept” homosexual acquaintances the way they are? Have they sold their souls to the devil, or just sold themselves for the favor of the world? James said those who are friends of the world will be enemies with God.

Newsweek reports on a prominent evangelical family in America. Three of the children are divorced; there's drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, spousal abuse, and alcohol abuse. Is this normative, or is there a different biblical model for family life?

The Washington Post has a scare piece on homeschooling and the rise of “Christian Nationalists,” to include a not-very-fair assessment of ABeka (and BJU Press). We take another look at Christian nationalism, and find we prefer decentralization over centralization, and Christian law over whatever Karl Marx was all about, Islamic law, Hindu law, or even Nancy Pelosi law.

How did we get from gender role confusion to gender confusion—from feminism to transgenderism? The revolution starts with the Bolsheviks, far more interested in a social revolution over a political revolution. Vladimir Lenin's first commitment was to feminism and the destruction of marriage and the family. The fundamental ethic was not so much free sex, as the emancipation and independence of women, and the dissolution of the family unit . . . with the father or husband as a responsible head. Now that the destruction has worked its way into every developed country in the world, what will Christians do?

Christians Taken by Brave New World

As the world goes nuts with every form of paganism, what will Christians do with tattooing, cannibalism, hired wombs, creating clones, three-parent children, polygamy, etc., etc. We encourage Christians to a thoughtful confrontation with the present Brave New World instead of mindlessly accepting its ethics and practices. Here is some discussion on snowflake adoptions. We also talk through the question of renting a house to a couple living in fornication. And we take up another question on activists who resort to cursing politicians. Christians must be more and more on their game—not babes in the woods—when it comes to this world that has declared war on God (especially in science and social moral standards). At the least, let us look for a redemptive trajectory in the midst of the devastation of modern science and modern life.

Certain ecstatic expressions open up to the demonic, and this we find in the Bolshevik revolution as well as the firsthand testimonies of men like Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc. How do we avoid these dangerous excesses even within certain sects of Christianity?

Moral anarchy, economic stresses, demonic infiltration, and national pride are roots. Biblical wisdom cautions about this business of taking a mad pit bull by its ears.

A Radical, Comprehensive Call to Holiness

What's wrong with this testimony? "I want to be justified, but not sanctified. I want to be forgiven, but not cleansed from my sin. I want to be dead in my sins, but still forgiven of sins. I want to be free to sin, but not free from sin. . . ." Salvation does bring new life, and forgiveness is always attended by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The subject can be controversial and a bit complicated in places. But here Dr. Joel Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, lays out in plain, accessible language for us—the necessity of holiness, the theology of holiness, and the way to holiness. An essential message for ALL CHRISTIANS!

The Battle of the Circuits

The Circuit Courts are battling it out, but finally the Democrat-appointed justices are still winning out in terms of sheer numbers. Two moderates on the US Supreme Court have been tipping private property rights the wrong direction. Christians need to hold consistently to free speech AND private property rights, but what does this look like? Suppose a 501 c(3) pro-life organization or a pro-life plumber hires somebody who spends his Saturdays campaigning for Joe Biden. They fire that person, and then get sued on a 1st Amendment basis. Or suppose a Christian school hires some teacher whom they discover later to be protesting for "Gay Rights" on Saturdays. What about a private university that disallows teaching on Evolution . . . or disallows teaching on Buddhism . . . or Islam? Do I have the right to not allow a Buddhist club to organize on my campus? The only way out of this . . . is to privatize all education now.

Designer babies. Gene editing. Automated abortions at the push of a button. Mechanical wombs for hire. The pieces are already in place for baby farms.

Huge Religious Liberty Case

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 09:00:00 -0500

For two and half hours yesterday, December 5th, the Supreme Court heard a major religious liberty case.

Guest host Adam McManus interviewed Matt Sharp, Senior Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, about the right of Lorie Smith, the Christian owner of 303 Creative, a Denver, Colorado website design company, to refuse to create websites for homosexual faux weddings.

Colorado’s law would force Lorie to use her artistic web design skills to speak messages celebrating homosexual faux weddings if she speaks messages celebrating marriage between one man and one woman. But on top of that, the law acts as a gag order that prevents Lorie from expressing on her website the reasons why she only creates websites celebrating certain ideas.

This is censorship. And it’s a violation of Lorie’s First Amendment rights.

That’s why, in 2016, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a lawsuit on Lorie’s behalf, challenging the law in federal court. Nearly three years later, a judge issued a final ruling allowing Colorado officials to force Lorie to design and publish websites promoting messages that conflict with her religious beliefs.

In October 2019, Lorie appealed to the 10th Circuit, asking it to reverse the lower court’s decision. Then, in July 2021, the 10th Circuit issued an unprecedented ruling in Lorie’s case, upholding the Colorado law that requires Lorie to promote pro-homosexual faux marriage messages against her conscience in violation of her First Amendment freedom. So, in September 2021, Lorie asked the Supreme Court to take up her case and reverse the 10th Circuit’s ruling and protect her First Amendment rights.

Watch a 5-minute video about Lorie Smith’s story.

McManus cited the RedState.com article entitled “Justice Gorsuch Leaves CO Solicitor General Stammering During Oral Arguments on Religious Liberty.”

The Gay Borg has virtually taken over the corporate world now. The HRC report 2022 indicated 99.7% of Fortune 500 companies have pro-LGBT policies . . . up from 5% in 2001. Major Christian ministries have been censored, cancelled, or deplatformed by the dozens, and thousands more of the little guys received the same treatment. Yet still, they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. Nothing withers faster than big social media outlets.

KJV, Headcoverings, and Reformed

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Churches love distinctives—things that make them distinct (and look like they are better than) other churches. Distinctives are fine. The trouble comes in when the distinctive becomes the major to the surrender of the other majors—when we lose the camels in the gnats. We get into Bible translations from the Septuagint to the Vulgate to the King James Version, and all the others. We love the KJV, but people can go to hell clinging to their KJV and not really believing what’s in it. We end with the short story on what makes a healthy church.

"The Chosen" Film in Theaters

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Is "The Chosen" finally bringing Christians, Mormons, and Catholics together in ecumenical unity? Who is this Jesus presented in the TV series? Is this a Jesus like the rest of us, the latter-day saints Jesus, or the least common denominator (LCD) Jesus? Or, is this the Creator of the Universe, God incarnate, and the Judge of the World? We revisit the outrageously popular "The Chosen" TV series, finding snippets of the Book of Mormon, the book of humanist trite phrases, and odd twists on Scripture mixed into the dialogue. We compare the writings of 3 Nephi with Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5.

The Age of Greed Is Out of Control

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Since 1970, gambling has increased from $2 billion to $120 billion a year. But that's nothing compared to the mad rush into world debt and derivatives (and other horrendously reckless forms of greed). All that debt and derivative risk has increased from $15 trillion to $2,500 trillion in the last forty to fifty years. What happens when there is no more restraint left in human society to greed, to sexual license, to killing babies, and the rest? How do Christians respond to this financial mayhem?

Whose Fault for America’s Fall?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Officers in the Christian Reformed Church are found running as Democrats for political office on pro-abortion positions, and end up advocating the killing of innocent children at the highest positions in the land. The first fault for the fall of America, the fall of the West, and the undoing of a civilization lies at the feet of the seminaries, the Christian college, and the Christian denominations. Either the church must discipline, or the worst case scenario occurs with the Christian Reformed Church and similar denominations. And that would be Revelation 2:20-23. How did such apostasy occur with these denominations?

Why Utility Prices Are Surging

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 02:00:00 -0500

There are three reasons why utility prices are on the increase. But chief of which is the worldview that underlies the economy-destroying impulse on the part of Democrats (and some Republicans). Man worships the creation rather than the Creator, and therefore he will increasingly fail to take proper dominion over the earth as he was commissioned to do. In the end, environmentalism will become destructive of man and the environment both.

Midterm Election - America Fails the Test

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 11:40:00 -0500

The midterm elections revealed the true heart of America . . . and it was a terrible day for the pro-life cause. The Supreme Court handed it off to the voters, and every referendum went pro-abortion. Meanwhile, the red wave was more of a red ooze. The Democrat creep is working in Pennsylvania. The progressives (leftists) had a heyday, while the principled right lost ground. But why are we losing ground in pro-life votes? Women voted Republican by a margin of 1% in 1988, but now they're going Democrat by a margin of 15% . . . and more women are voting. America is committed to killing babies.

Death Culture and American Film

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:16:00 -0500

We trace the zeitgeist in American film—the market has moved from real people to fake people to dead people. The horror genre is replacing the escape genre which replaced drama, comedy, and adventure film of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Now, Satanic and horror films increasingly dominate box office takings. The rise of euthanasia in the medical world comes with it, as Canada leads the world in killing people. We also take a quick look at the slippery slope argument, and how it just might apply to abortion and euthanasia.

Demons of Jerry Lee and Faith of Johnny Cash

The Rock and Roll revolution started in America with Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis, with roots in Pentecostal churches. Here is another story of Americana, which ends with the unleashing of a sexual revolution, undoubted demonic influence, and what may or may not be repentance at the end. We cover Jerry Lee Lewis, and the recent biographies of Johnny Cash and his spiritual journey and questions posed at the end of his life. Here’s the takeaway: America has deep Christian roots. America is in apostasy. There is always room to repent all the way to the end for the thief on the cross.

Evolutionists in Crisis

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The fossil record touted for human evolution is evaporating, year after year, decade after decade, post-Darwin. The media hype isn’t quite enough to keep the theory on life support. Neanderthal turned out to be fully human. Ardipithecus ramidus turned out to be an ape. Naledi turned out to be an ape-like creature more recently gone extinct—not the missing link everybody had hoped for. Turkana boy turned out to be fully human. Lucy was a knuckle walker after all. The evidence has gone up in smoke, and evolutionists are now in crisis. Subsequent research into fossil finds would always increase levels of skepticism concerning conclusions drawn. Significant disagreement prevailed among evolutionary paleontologists concerning the evidence itself. While consensus was illusive among the evolutionary scientific community, universities and government schools would still carry on a pretense of consensus and dogmatic assertions in the textbooks.

Be a Three-thirds Christian!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus examines a recent talk by David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, in which he explained that most Christians are only two-thirds Christians. They treasure only two of God’s three institutions–the family and the church. But, to their peril, they ignore the importance and influence of the civil government. Forty million Evangelical Christian are not even registered to vote. And, on Election Day, too few Christians show up to cast an informed ballot. We need to be fully three-thirds Christians!

Our disobedience is an outgrowth of our disregard for daily Bible reading. In 2021, 26 million fewer Americans read their Bible, according to the American Bible Society report. Amazingly, President John Quincy Adams wrote a book urging 10-year-olds to read through the Bible in a year, cover-to-cover, because that’s what Americans did.

You’ll hear how the Great Awakening was really the story of thousands of little revivals which were planted by George Whitefield, the British preacher, who spoke 18,000 times in 34 years. Remarkably, 80% of Americans had heard Whitfield preach in person. When revival broke out in Boston, for example, Pastor Sam Cooper kept it going another decade there. The same thing was true of the stewardship of Pastor Gilbert Tennent in Philadelphia and Pastor Samuel Davies in the woods of Virginia.

Barton said, “Christians must do their duty to the country as part of their duty to God as because we're a stewardship nation. We don't have kings that tell us what to do. We tell them what to do! God put the government in our hands. Christians have a responsibility. God will bless or curse this nation according to the course that Christians take in politics.

“Why is that true? Because we know in Proverbs 14:34 it says, ‘Righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a reproach to any people.’ We love to sing God bless America. But if we want God to bless America, we’ve got to give Him something to work with. It takes righteousness that He can bless. So, how do you get righteousness? Proverbs 29:2 says, ‘When the righteous rule, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule, the people groan.’ ”

Listen for inspiring examples of what has happened in Virginia and Texas when pastors preach the importance of Christians voting, when Christians gets registered, and then cast Biblically-informed votes.

A shocking report from George Barna finds that abortion is not even on the list of the top five concerns for evangelicals as we approach the 2022 elections. Gas prices come in at #1, inflation at #2, food prices at #3, crime and personal safety at #4, and protection from terrorism at #5. The selling of millions of baby lives for 30 cents on the gallon for gas prices doesn't settle well with us. Besides, Republicans caused inflation by QE, and now Republicans blame it on the Democrats. The hypocrisy drips, and Christians need to call it out.

Describing the US House of Cards

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0400

We struggle to describe the house of cards called the US economy on this edition of the program. The stock market has effectively already crashed. But, the volatility and general flakiness of the modern economy and society is beyond anything we've ever seen in modern history. Powerful governments were trying to fix economies by spending more and more money. They were trying to control the national economy by manipulating the interest rates. They had encouraged everybody into increasing levels of debt. They created inflation by issuing more money to pay for government debt. Rather than fixing economic problems then, they ended up ruining the worldwide economy.

Do we merely judge by lyrics, or is there a lifestyle that plays into the popular cultural emanations? We can't answer the question as to the eternal destination of Elvis's soul, but we can identify certain external signs—church membership, lifestyle, life trajectory, last testimonies, and so forth. We are also called to discern "the teachers" for as Jesus said, "By their fruits ye shall know them." Perhaps more importantly, Elvis represents the trajectory of American culture and church life.

Testosterone Levels Deteriorate in US and Europe

Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are the worst for average Testosterone levels. Russia, Brazil, Mexico, India, Afghanistan, and most of Africa are way higher than the US and Europe. How's that going to work out for the future of world civilizations? It takes testosterone to build business . . . to fight wars . . . to defend countries . . . to go after the bad guys (on the part of civil governments who do not bear the sword in vain). The only possibility for the preservation of faith and civilization is a radical shift away from the present zeitgeist for all men.

Almost 200 million views in four days for the new Netflix docu-series on Jeffrey Dahmer, for these fixated on the evil. But, even the final episode leaves out the real story, the real motive, the real explanation, the real insight provided in the NBC Stone Phillips interview. Although what's available from the 1994 interview has been heavily redacted, we have uncovered the explosive four minutes in the interview that explains the real motive of evil, and the only corrective to it. The world doesn't want to face the true implications of evolutionary naturalism—as clearly presented by the testimony of Jeffrey Dahmer, and Klebold and Harris. The world just doesn't want to face the truth—either of the cause or the solution. The world would rather muck around in the evil and surrender themselves to the horror of it than they would acknowledge the supremacy of Jesus Christ over the works of the devil.

A recent book, Andy Stanley tells us that Christianity shaped Western civilization. He also says that politics can’t save us, to which we agree. But what do we do when influential figures are actually encouraging evangelicals to not keep the commandments of God? What do we say when pastors are encouraged to not align themselves with a political leader or party, and Christians are told to stop engaging in the cultural battle? How do we respond to a message that tells us to love God and neighbor but also rejects God’s standard for loving God and neighbor? We interact with Andy Stanley’s recent book on this edition of the program.

Is the Antichrist on the Rise?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 16:00:00 -0400

Popular culture is presenting Satan in a more winsome way, and witchcraft is dominating the pop themes on TV. There were only 4 witchcraft shows between 1960 and 2010 . . . now 22 TV shows are featuring witchcraft. We lay out the three eschatological views on the current “post-Christian,” apostate, Satanic era; and then explain in simple terms why the youth are enamored by the paranormal and the Satanic. But, how do Christians react to this?

Incrementalism vs. Substantial Policies

What would you say about German legislation (in 1944) that would spare only Jews with mustaches or Jews over 64 years of age from execution? Does this really represent a commitment to principle, or is this political posturing which, in the end, yields nothing? What would principled federal legislation bring about—perhaps an abortion ban, a ban of funding, or a ban on interstate commerce for the kill pill? What would it look like if Republicans feared God?

Abdication of Men on Every Level

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The abdication of men is the dissolution of society. We hit the stats one more time. More women were in the workplace in 2020 than men. Out-of-wedlock births were upwards of 70% in Europe, while Africa and Asia are keeping it down around 1-5%. Which society is dying out? We run by Kipling's Recessional and Copybook Headings again, and wonder if we are being delivered bound to our foe. Why would Planned Parenthood do business with the Chicoms?

Elizabeth II—A Millennium of Blessings

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Queen Elizabeth is dead. She was the last of a line of kings and queens that basically upheld a Christian world and life view—a line that dates back to King Athelstan almost 1,100 years ago. That millennium has ended and has given way to a post-Christian battle of ideas unlike anything we've seen in the history of the world. We provide a tribute to Elizabeth II and consider the next king. Charles has stated that he will be the defender of faith, but certainly not the Defender of THE Faith. How would he ever take this element of the oath when he has already set himself against the laws of God? "Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel?"

The War on Farmers

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The "green" global elites are aiming for total food control. Their power grab, which is now most evident in Holland, threatens the entire planet—including the United States.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Calvin Beisner, Founder of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, about two disturbing articles in The New American by William Jasper.

The first, entitled “No Farmers, No Food,” outlines how the environmental activists are using the ploy of global warming to severely restrict the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides as well as the number of cattle which Dutch farmers can use and own. Farmers are revolting. Amazingly, even though the Netherlands is slightly larger than the state of Maryland, it is the second largest agricultural exporter behind the United States

The second, entitled “Biden’s War on Farmers,” reveals that Biden’s fiscal and anti-fossil fuel policies are devastating our entire national economy, including agriculture.

Amazingly, Biden’s own Climate Czar, John Kerry, admitted that even if America dropped its gas emissions to zero overnight, the so-called “Climate Crisis” wouldn’t be solved because China, India, and Russia collectively contribute massive global emissions.

While a Washington Post article in May of 2021 claimed that “Air pollution from farms leads to 17,900 U.S. deaths per year,” Beisner says that is demonstrably untrue. He points to Steve Milloy’s book entitled Scare Pollution: Why and How to Fix the Environmental Protection Agency.

Jasper concludes, “If the globalists are allowed to succeed, millions of independent family farms across the globe will be wiped out and replaced by a few dozen government-favored crony corporatists. Then, based on something resembling Communist China’s ‘social credit’ system, the government-corporate politburo will be able to determine if you and your family get food, as well as when you get it, what type of food you get, and in what quantities. That is a recipe for absolute tyranny and something all Americans should fight with every fiber of their being.”

Ultimately, Beisner asserts that the environmentalists, who hate God and humans created in His image, believe that the presence of humans on Earth is a scourge. An optimum number would be 500 million people. That would be an alarming 97% reduction in the world’s population!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 05 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The Word of God has something to say about every area of life . . . including work and business life. The Bible contains over 2,000 verses that talk about money. Forty percent of Jesus’ parables speak to economics—and address real life. On this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss Christians in business, and give some input on MLMs.

Reformations = Transformation of Culture and Life

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0400

These are ignominious years for Western Christianity, as the cultural influence of the church wanes in Australia, the US, and elsewhere. Brief mention is made of the Acts 29 and Hillsong phenomenon. If there were a reformation, what would it look like? How do you sift out empty zeal, useless revivals, and false Jesus’s to find something more substantial? Real reformation does not consist of more schism on minor issues, but substantial unity on substantial, foundational issues (as set against the world). Christ calls the Laodicean church to fervency—but not fervent worship and music—rather, fervent repentance, love for one another, and fervent day-to-day service to God.

A pastor goes after Agag. . . . A pastor, like John the Baptist, corrects Herod. A pastor shames the accusers and says to the adulteress, "Neither does Jesus condemn you . . . go and sin no more." A pastor rebukes the Pharisees and commends the importunate widow. Is the pastor called to be winsome, charming, and unoffensive? What is this gentle firmness? How does one balance out the 1 Thess. 5:14 mandate? Pastor Josh Buice from G3 joins us for this critical discussion. How do we grow in robustness of faith and love through trials?

How to Clear the Air and Define Terms in Theological Debate

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Controversies within Christianity carry on for various reasons, usually to test our maturity in faith, our love, our knowledge of the Word, and our wisdom in communication. The question of tongues and prophecy provide something of a division today. Knowledge of church history and the range of views within orthodoxy is critical. Also, one must clarify the terms. Sometimes we miss each other because we are miscommunicating on the terms themselves. There may be bonafide differences of interpretation, but at the least, all of us should define our terms first. This is what we do in this discussion on special insight vs. enscripturated revelation. This lays out some of the broad principles to consider before coming down on one side or another on the matter of tongues and prophecy.

Biden Forgives $300B College Debt

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 09:00:00 -0400

This particular welfare program is for the educated—56% of the college debt is owed by 14% of Americans with master’s and PhD degrees. But the real reason for this spending binge is found in a New York Times Article: "College graduates are now a firmly Democratic bloc, and they are shaping the party's future." While the college bubble was bursting, the Democrats panicked. How best to indoctrinate the next batch of American voters—but to keep them in college and pay for it by government freebies? Davy Crockett opposed the first federal welfare programs, informing his colleagues in Congress this is "not yours to give." We say to the federal government now, “This is not yours to forgive."

Christian College Presidents in the Fight of Their Lives

State subsidies. Pell grants. Title VII and Title IX. Bostock. College bubble. Accommodation laws. An 800-year infatuation with secular knowledge built up on human reason in the Christian college. It's a perfect storm for the elimination of the Christian college, especially for the 95%+ that are tied in to federal funding. Presidents of two colleges (Biola and Colorado Christian University) admit that they are in the fight of their lives . . . for bare survival. But the real issue will be epistemological. Will this be a secular institution seeking truth built up on human reason, or will this be a biblical institution formed solidly on special revelation, not so much natural theology anymore? We get to the core issue.

Millennials are especially upset with the church for being too political, judgmental, and anti-homosexual. But what do they mean by political? Are homosexuality and abortion political issues or ethical issues and sinful issues, which could be very well addressed by the Gospel? Is education a political issue, or a family issue? Definitions are helpful. We review a World Magazine article written by Kevin DeYoung on “Politics and the Church.” Is the church’s mission soteriological, or is the church’s mission to teach everything Jesus has commanded in His Word (per the Great Commission)? Do we equip the man and woman of God for every good work, in every area of life?

Fatherless kid finds God

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

How often have we heard about the devastating consequences when children grow up in a fatherless home? They’re more likely to drop out of school, become intimate before marriage, and even turn to a life of crime.

But, when Father God intervenes, the sky’s the limit! When a fatherless child experiences the forgiveness of Christ, he can walk in his God-given purpose.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Greg Stier, an evangelist and founder of Dare 2 Share. He grew up in Denver, Colorado in a violent, inner-city family of body builders. He never had a dad and never felt like he measured up because his biceps weren’t big enough! But God transformed his family, one by one, through the power of the Gospel.

Greg has written a new book entitled Unlikely Fighter: The Story of How a Fatherless Street Kid Overcame Violence, Chaos, and Confusion to Become a Radical Christ Follower. You will laugh and cry along with Adam throughout this amazing story.

Plus, you can win a free book if you’re one of the first five people to send the correct subject line from the interview to Adam@TheWorldview.com along with your name and mailing address.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Whether you’re actively serving in the U.S. military, retired from military service, or you’ve been on a search for your purpose as a man, you’ll be encouraged by Chad Robichaux‘s authenticity. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything!

Yes, he’s a Force Recon Marine and a Pro Mixed Martial Arts Champion. But he’s also incredibly vulnerable!

Guest host Adam McManus explores his fascinating life story as they discuss his book entitled An Unfair Advantage: Victory in the Midst of Battle. He experienced successes and his failures in Afghanistan and in the MMA cage. But, most powerfully, he reveals the ugly truth as he struggled with PTSD, a near divorce, and almost becoming another veteran suicide statistic before he trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, which puts on powerful events, to help other veterans and their families.

Chad shares parallel stories of biblical warriors–like Moses, Jonathan, David, Esau, and Ehud–who faced similar struggles and reveals the “unfair advantage” that led them to victory in the midst of those battles.

His book is endorsed by President Donald Trump, Lt. General Jerry Boykin, and Dave Barton of WallBuilders.

The Educational Cartel Unleashed

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The most powerful union in the world and the most influential force in education is the National Education Association. And, the NEA’s agenda is anything but math and spelling. Listeners will be shocked at the clips we take from the NEA Convention held in Chicago last week. The organization is committed to advancing abortion (“reproductive rights”) and homosexuality in schools and every institution in this country. Why are Christians still holding up the public schools, given that the infrastructure is the most progressive and ruinous force in the nation? The only thing left standing in the way of the total ruin of our children is . . . parents.

Confidence in Man in Free Fall

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

While we have finally reached the apex of humanist pride (and confidence in man), this also turns out to be the most disillusioned age in history. What gives? The Gallup Confidence Poll continues to drop year by year since the 1970s . . . sinking another 5-7% just in the last year. Men have lost reason and faith, and the motivation to work. The working male employment ratio continues to drop and has steadily fallen since the 1960s. Women accounted for 82.8% of the 372,000-gain in June payrolls and now represent 49.9% of total US nonfarm employment. The social security crisis has finally surfaced, with a $160-billion deficit in 2021. The $2.7 trillion in savings will be gone in the next 14 years. But, the character of the next generation is destroyed. How do we recover now? Here are some practical directions on this edition of the program.

Americans Don’t Believe the Bible Anymore

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Since 1980, half of American faith has dissipated, as measured by those who believe the Bible is God's Word. The apostasy is metastasizing now. Only 20% of Americans believe the Bible is the Word of God, and only 40% of evangelicals say the Bible is the Word of God (a minority). Partly, they don't like biblical ethics, and partly they prefer science over God's revelation. But, in the process, they jettison all certainty on basic issues.

Has America Repented? Where Are We Now?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Jul 2022 09:03:00 -0400

Four Catholic Justices and one liberal Protestant Justice did the right thing in reversing Roe v. Wade. But, why is America more pro-abortion than ever? Why so many deaths by high-efficiency birth control, the Plan B Pill, and the Kill Pill by mail? Is it too early to celebrate the reversal of Roe v. Wade? While it is true some elements of the Christian faith are toughening up, there is still a fear about speaking out on homosexuality and the use of abortifacients. American faith is still squished.

28 Percent Christian Millennials “LGBT”

Thirty percent of millennials call themselves homosexual, and incredibly, the percentage isn't much different for "born again Christians." The salt has lost its savor, now fit for the dung hill. The severity of this sin and the judgment of God have been too much ignored by the Christian church. Calvin College is encouraging homosexuality and has gone post-Christian. What would John Calvin say?

What Justice Clarence Thomas Wrote

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Three important technological advancements have occurred since 1990, allowing for the killing of 15 million babies, and rendering the discussions on surgical abortions almost moot or irrelevant. But then, Justice Clarence Thomas dared to speak up and point out the elephant in the room—the application of the 14th amendment to sodomy and abortifacients. Liberals turned apoplectic when one justice dared to touch the sacred cows of all sacred cows.

Southern Baptist Abuse Report

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The #MeToo movement is dying off for lack of integrity within. And, the Southern Baptist Abuse Report lost perspective quickly, largely because the wrong worldview dominated the organization producing the report. We compare the incidents of abuse among the Baptists to the less-pious Catholics, and the even less-pious public schools (orders of magnitude different). Yet, there are deeper problems yet to be addressed among Baptists and all evangelicals today. Judgment and repentance must still begin in the household of God.

Addressing the Bankruptcy of College

College education is bankrupt, and so are those attending. College graduates are in 34 times more debt (adjusted for inflation) than they were in 1970. The world view and social view has turned into something both Anti-Christian and Anti-Social. This is the stuff that destroys human society. So what are the solutions?

The Pro-Abortion Kristallnacht

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Since the leaked Supreme Court Dobbs decision on May 2, 2022, radical pro-abortion activists have vandalized or firebombed 60 pro-life pregnancy resource centers, reports LifeNews.com.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Jim Harden, the CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Center in Buffalo, New York, whose pro-life medical office was firebombed on June 7th, reported the New York Post.

Harden said, “This is the pro-abortion Kristallnacht.” Kristallnacht was The Night of Broken Glass on November 9th, 1938 when Nazi leaders smashed the glass of the Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues, and homes throughout Germany.

Jane's Revenge, which issued a May 30th statement about their “Night of Rage,” has claimed responsibility for many of these violent acts.

On June 15th, Jane’s Revenge released a second disturbing statement in which they said, "We have demonstrated in the past month how easy and fun it is to attack. We promised to take increasingly drastic measures.”

The group’s name is a reference to the “Jane Collective,” an underground group in Chicago that helped mothers obtain illegal abortions prior to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

In their conversation, they discuss:

* The letter from 120 Congressman urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the acts of abortion terrorism.

* How New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochel called pro-lifers as sub-human.

* Harden’s 6-point Pro-Life Equal Protection Plan.

* How medical pro-life pregnancy centers will compete with the faltering abortion empire.

* The dangers of chemical abortion pills which women are ordering by mail and taking at home. 15% of them will become infertile.

The Black-Robed Regiment

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 04 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dan Fisher, author of Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment: How the 18th century church stood for liberty and why it must do so again.

Adam and Pastor Fisher discuss:

* Pastor Peter Muhlenberg of Woodstock, Virginia who took off his black robe in the pulpit, revealing a colonel’s uniform, and challenged the men to fight.

* Pastor Jonas Clarke of Lexington, Massachusetts who trained his men to prepare for the April 19, 1775 showdown with the British which led to the shot heard ‘round the world on Lexington Green.

* Pastor James Caldwell of Elizabethtown, New Jersey who brought hymnals to the Minutemen to use for wadding to fight the British.

* Pastor Naphtali Daggett, president of Yale, who rallied 100 students to fight the Redcoats, which led to his capture and brutal treatment.

* Pastor John Treadwell of Lynn, Massachusetts, who kept a loaded Flintlock in his pulpit, and who narrowly escaped death at the Battle of Bennington in Vermont.

* The disturbing similarity between the church in pre-World War II Germany and the American church today. Both have, by and large, remained silent in the face of evil.

If you are one of the first 5 Generations listeners to email Adam at Adam@TheWorldview.com, he will send you a free copy of the Bringing Back the Black-Robed Regiment book ($20 value) and the 90-minute DVD or Blu-Ray ($20 value) that features Fisher in period costume along with other actors and re-enactors of battles.

How Christianity Transformed the World

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 09:00:00 -0400

There is a narrative going around currently that promotes the idea that Christianity has brought oppression to the world. However, in reality, it is just the opposite. Christianity has changed the world by helping put an end to slavery and human-trafficking, oppression of widows, human sacrifice, and many other unethical and evil practices. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Sharon James on her book, “How Christianity Transformed the World.”

The Future of Abortion and the Social Revolution

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Kevin Swanson provides a historical background on the modern abortion holocaust, beginning with the Bolsheviks in 1918. Will the social revolution continue with the vision of sex without procreation, sex without responsibility, 100% access to abortifacients, and homosexual sex without procreation? Will the dissolution of the family, of marriage, of sexuality continue? Will there be any curtailing of the kill pill by mail or the abortifacients that account for 90-95% of the abortions taking place in the world? Will the democracy vote pro-life, given that the US Supreme Court has turned things over to the populace? Will the churches engage a nationwide repentance on these matters? Thank God, three to five Supreme Court Justices went the right direction. But what will the voters do in November?

Reversing 49 Years of Roe v. Wade

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Sat, 25 Jun 2022 23:19:00 -0400

It was a first in history when SCOTUS reversed Roe v. Wade on Friday after 49 years of legalized abortion in the US. It was the return of law (and the Constitution). It was a decision that would decentralize power into the states. But . . . what about the kill pill by mail? What about government-funded abortifacients by Obamacare, which contributes the other 90% of abortions in this country? Importantly, the conservative justices went out of their way to confirm the sacrosanct position of abortifacients and homosexuality in the majority opinion piece. All that aside, this is a wakeup call for the nation, another opportunity for further repentance in the churches first. And the best statement of all comes from . . . Donald Trump.

Biden: Need Money for Next Pandemic

The president issues a cryptic warning about the next pandemic. The government and science that purports to cure pandemics is the same government and science that have the power to create them now. Concentrating power is bound to yield more evil, given the sinful hearts of men. When governments favor private companies like Pfizer, these gigantic pharmaceuticals increase their revenue from $40 billion to $100 billion inside of two years. We go over the current data on the Covid-19 catastrophe and conclude (at the very least) that science did not save us this time.

They take their place on the list of "the scumbags of the 20th century." We trace the paths of these fallen meteors—Weinstein, Polanski, and Woody Allen. They were the great apologists for the sexual revolution, the cruel existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre, and a post-Christian atheism. Now they work well as exemplars for Psalm 37:36.

That's about $250 billion of tentacles reaching deep into the districts. Dr. James Dobson is now calling on Christians to get the kids out of these godless schools (and universities).

While not wanting to Monday-morning quarterback the police activities, we do wish to address the fundamental disposition of a post-Christian society towards risk. The constant concern for “safe places” portends a society averse to risk. But, safe is not the highest value. Righteousness, liberty, and giving up your life for others is a higher value than “safe.” The Church is not a safe place, but He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies!

With a few exceptions, we are doing a lousy job cultivating godly leaders in our families and churches. We get too many Madison Cawthornes, an embarrassment to the homeschool ranks.

Why are pro-life organizations so much less likely to stick to principle and self-consistency than their pro-abortion counterparts? Obviously, few people want to admit that 25% (give or take) of Americans are murderers. There is a wimpiness about the current versions of the Christian faith . . . and Christian leaders who have a hard time calling a spade a spade.

Get Ready for What Comes After Covid-19

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 18 May 2022 09:00:00 -0400

High-level social planners, Babel-wannabes, technocrats, and techno-worshipers come together in the World Economic Forum in 2019 to map out their Covid-19 response six months before it happens. We provide examples of modern-day elitists and philosopher-kings (or technocrats) who are hoping to subjugate mankind via technology and the power of the state. Yet, the technology that is supposed to save mankind turns to destructive ends. Covid-19 provided substantial and sufficient social conditioning for the next step in the sequence laid out by the technocrats. There is, however, one factor they are not considering . . . God. Our discussion with Kendle Nichols, producer of the video “Prudent Preparation,” lends insight into what Christians should do to prepare for these developments.

Christian Apologizes for Roe-Wade

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 17 May 2022 09:13:00 -0400

Well-known evangelical writer Jen Hatmaker argues in favor of abortion, while the extremely influential evangelical pastor Tim Keller presents his case for the legalization of abortion. Keller's argument in a nutshell: "If we refuse to ban idolatry, we must be open to continued legalized abortion as at least a legitimate Christian posture." What's wrong with the line of thinking? Would you recommend Keller's worldview?

An Abortion Mindset and the Church

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 16 May 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Only 2% of millennial parents hold to a Biblical worldview, while 67% still claim to be Christians—latest Barna results. We take a look at the PCUSA’s, EPC’s, and PCA's birth rates—and find that the PCUSA’s and EPC's birth rates are about half the national average. They have an aging church population, and they're just not having kids. The PCA's is about the same as the national average—still low. But what are the real worldview issues underlying all of this? What makes for a healthy, reforming, biblical church? While birth rates aren't the number-one issue, what are the worldview issues that really matter?

The Urge to “Change the World”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 13 May 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The urge to “change the world” or to “make the world a better place” may not be so great after all. Eileen Gu doesn’t believe in right and wrong, but only “right intentions,” but then the “road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What about the efforts on the part of huge, anti-Christ governments like the United Nations? Are we really on board with their programs to “change the world” or “make the world a better place?” Thankfully, Somebody already came to change the world, and the only way the world is ever going to change is through a change of heart.

Will Science Fail Us . . . or Kill Us?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 May 2022 10:05:00 -0400

Modern man has finally lost confidence in himself. While trust in man's institutions have fallen like a rock since the 1970s per Gallup polls, trust remains in one area—science. This is the last of the idols to fall. Yet there is a crisis in science, headlined by the Washington Examiner. A 2016 survey conducted by Nature Magazine found 90% of scientist respondents believed that a crisis was at hand, and a full 70% of those surveyed had tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments. For a century, evolutionists have cried out, "Who needs reproducibility! Who needs observation! Who needs verification! Who needs data! We have an elegant hypothesis that can't be wrong!" Science will fail us. In fact, science is killing us now.

The US Economic Bloodletting Begins

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 09 May 2022 09:00:00 -0400

It was the year the Federal Reserve failed. After nearly a hundred years of that homosexual pedophile's economic policies were incorporated into the profligate nations of the US, the UK, the EU, Japan, and the most powerful nations on earth, the year has finally arrived. It was the year that Keynes failed. This is the week the Fed failed, with a pitiful fifty-point increase on interest rates to beat inflation brought on by the drunken-sailor-inspired Quantitative Easing policies of 2020 and 2021. We equip Christian families with a knowledge of the chicanery going on the economy, and then leave them with Christian principles for doing it right, if we get a chance to reconstruct this mess over the next 30-50 years.

The Left Is Running Scared

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 06 May 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The left is running scared. The wicked sense that abortion is not a safe and sacrosanct right forever and ever, amen. Roe v. Wade is on the chopping block. And . . . now they're concerned that same-sex mirage and homosexuality may not enjoy the same support it has for the last 10 years. We also point out that the left condemns itself with "The Handmaid's Tale," and its pretended condemnations of surrogacy. But, who supports surrogacy and rent-a-womb in our day now? Does a woman have a right to rent out her own womb? Does a woman have a right to sell herself into slavery? Does a woman have a right to commit suicide? Does a woman have a right to kill her own baby? Does a woman have a right to purposefully conceive a child with the purpose of selling the child, or placing the child in some institution, brothel, or cesspool where homosexuals live? We address these questions from the perspective of God's law.

The Year America Became Immoral

America crossed over to the dark side in 2007 as the shift in moral perspectives shifted from an average of 48.6% to 64.4% support for evil. By the Gallup Moral Acceptability poll, America is 32.6% more evil than she was in 2001. We include the ten "Most Devastating Events" in American Civil History on this program. What America needs more than anything is humility, repentance, regeneration, and faith in God's only Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ.

Will Christian pastors speak out on the California infanticide bill, or should they speak out?

The man-centeredness revealed in the marketing programs and the programs themselves may be one reason. We quote Tozer.

Yet, there is still a remnant of a conscience left, with 58% of UK'ers concerned they may end up in hell given their life choices.

When Wealth Disparity Is Unfair

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Government is redistributing more wealth than ever, but the rich are still getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. Maybe the pig was right. Some animals ARE more equal than others. But what causes the disparity? The system isn't fair, not because the governments are redistributing enough wealth. They do that all the time. But, the governments steal in other ways, while stealing from the rich and giving to the poor in welfare programs. But how does this work? Curious? How do Christians react to socialism? The disparity of wealth? The wealth effect that attends quantitative easing (another term for stealing)? Christians had better be equipped to answer these questions concerning corruption at the very highest levels of government today.

The Electric Car Disaster

Electric cars produce more carbon than gas cars over 100,000 miles on average, if you include the 100 barrels of oil is used to fabricate a single electric car battery. But then again, maybe more carbon dioxide would be better—providing the earth with less ice but more greenery. Is that better for the earth or worse? Who knows! It's a very bad mix of bad science, bad politics, and bad economics . . . all sans the fear of God and humility. Government has turned into a respecter of persons, a godlike entity determining good and evil for itself and controlling all life on planet earth. The anxiousness to state control has produced an over-eagerness to accept every wild hypothesis without sufficient repeatable tests and honest scientific conclusions concerning probabilities, to include alpha and beta risks. It's an unholy alliance of businesses (Tesla), government (regulatory credits), and bad scientists (Al Gore).

Socialist Education Is Faltering

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Socialist education is faltering a bit in the United States. The Covid years rendered a 1.2 million drop-off on socialist university attendance, and a 2.5 million drop-off in K-12 public school registrations. Could this render a little hope for the next generation? We take a look at lifetime earnings for various careers. Education majors pull in only half of what engineers make in a lifetime, far less than the average plumber who makes $2.8 million over a lifetime . . . and quite a bit less than a truck driver who makes $2.5 million over a lifetime. Is this a good time to run up college debt, given the everything bubble, the poor R.O.I., and the heavy-duty, left-wing socialist indoctrination?

Discerning the Values in that “Wonderful Family Film”

Why do the brains of Christians turn to mush when it comes to discerning the worldview messages conveyed by the entertainment fare? Children are given the escapist utopia in Disney—the shortcut to living happily ever after, which usually comes after discovering the good within yourself. The intensely moral themes present "pro-social values," but they certainly are not biblical values rooted in the fear of God or the love of God. In some cases, the dreams of self-fulfillment are supposed to be found in romantic love—another cruel, humanist, self-centered dream. We find more instances where Christian leaders are discerning too little too late about Hollywood and its friends.

Chris Rock Admits Abortion Is Murder

Multiple mainline comedians like Chris Rock are finally admitting that abortion is murder, but it’s still a choice, and should be legal. Why do comedians admit to the obvious, seek some level of honesty, and yet shy away from ultimate honesty? Comedians are more honest, and yet they tend towards depression and suicide. But why?

2006—The Year America Came Down

After the 2008 worldwide recession, the US median household wealth never recovered from its 2006 peak of $210,000. Median household income could not keep up with real inflation rates, and household debt could not compensate for the reduced standard of living anymore. The ever-increasing prosperity trend of a half millennium, come by the grace of God and the economic and technological developments of the West, was over. The worship of man and money, the greed, the apostasy, and the debt-orgy had run its course. We carefully assess the reasons why faith lapsed and America came down, beginning with the third generation of Puritans. But the big reason is found in Deuteronomy 8:11-20.

Based on Scripture, they object to the use of aborted fetal tissue in the development of the COVID shots.

As he explained in his Breitbart column entitled Airmen Lawsuit Illustrates the Madness of Biden’s Vaccine Mandates, Kobach notes that the mandate violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 as well as the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Plus, 17 of the 36 Airmen are pilots of the RC-135, one of the most sophisticated intelligence-gathering planes ever built. The American taxpayers have already invested a whopping $5.5 million to train each one. To fire them would be a colossal waste of $93.5 million worth of training.

It’s the ministry of Hester Prynne, first envisioned by Nathaniel Hawthorne in “The Scarlet Letter.” This program also takes a look at the positives and negatives involved with Charlotte Mason’s teachings.

How the Feds Used Christian Leaders

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 09:00:00 -0400

So, the feds used Christian leaders like N.T. Wright, Ed Stetzer, the Gospel Coalition's Joe Carter, Pastors Tim Keller, Rick Warren, and Russell Moore to push the party line on Covid vaccines and protocol. Pastor John MacArthur was out of the fellowship, and these other guys crowded in. So what is the lure of statism for these Christian leaders, that they would snuggle up so close with the likes of Dr. Francis Collins? The rise of statism really is testing the hearts. We also consider the question of strategy. While we don't want to argue over strategy, what is the wise approach to addressing the rise of statism?

The Dire Straits of the U.S. Economy

Andy Stanley Doubts Scripture

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Andy Stanley airs his doubts about infallibility and the authority of Scripture, but still wants to hold on to a shred of evidentialism for the Gospel of Luke. The slippery slope of evidential apologetics gives way to full-bore faithlessness in the ongoing apostasy of the West. This gets us back into the basis for truth and the fundamentals of our faith. Why believe God's Word? What is a good basis for believing something is true, especially when it comes to the fundamental questions relating to reality and the purpose of human existence?

Doomsday bunkers are selling like hotcakes in quite a few nations around the world. Terms like "Nuclear War" and "World War III" are being batted around now. Russia has enough nukes to wipe out at least 7% of the world's population. Economics without the fear of God, science sans the fear of God, is not producing a stable society anymore. Crisis is the moment that tests our worldviews—what do we really, really believe of the things we know about God and His Sovereignty?

Help! Our Church Won’t Address Societal Sins

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Paul exhorts Titus to go after the Cretan sins because soundness in the faith must include a rebuke on societal sins and repentance. Alas, this is all but missing in churches that are strong on a narrow band of piety and externalisms. Pastors worth their salt must go after the sins of the day, the foundational worldview issues, critical race theory, economic sins, abortifacients, and the utter apostasy of the public school. Why do they avoid worthwhile controversies, while tripping over less-important matters? There is a tie-in between national and personal sins, national apostasy and the apostasy that creeps up into the families in our churches.

States Polarizing on Abortion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 09:00:00 -0500

America is splitting down the middle on abortion, and the epistemological self-consciousness is only heightening as the reversal of Roe v. Wade approaches. The chasm between those who want to kill babies, slice them up, and sell off their body parts . . . and those that don't is growing. And the pollsters tell us the clustering element of voters (Republicans and Democrats) has quadrupled in eight years. Republicans are moving away from liberal states to Republican states. A nation divided against itself cannot stand.

How does the Gospel bring about forgiveness, healing, and even reconciliation for extremely wounded relationships? Author Rob Rienow powerfully shares from his own experience of how God brings about amazing restoration, and provides the supernatural ability to forgive.

Young minds can be formed by good, solid, Christian discipleship—or they can be formed by hundreds of fictional novels cranked off the presses . . . books that teach kids about the glories of death and the isolation of existentialist man. The books that receive accolades and awards feature witches, vampires, serial killers, abandonment, and death. Cain has a little production company east of Eden, and now the kids have become the target market. On this edition of the program, we discuss the importance of biblical worldview instruction and discernment in the area of leisure reading for our children.

Skeptical Yet Believing the Most Dubious

This age is made up of the ultimately skeptical, the cynical, and loss confidence in all things establishment — yet, still willing to believe that which is dubious to the extreme. What gives? When self becomes the greater arbiter and information is conceived as power to the individual, there is nothing that can harness his pride or certainty in self. We take up the question of the Book of Enoch, the Flat Earth hypothesis, and the dubious in general on this segment of Generations.

Christian colleges took another hit from the US Supreme Court, and it doesn’t look like Gorsuch or Roberts is doing them any favors (at least in the Gordon College case). Will the Christian college commit to sacred knowledge or secular knowledge built up on human reason? The US Supreme Court is forcing the issue, finally after 800 years of Aquinas. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court is moving towards 44% women leadership. And we observe that the Isaiah 3 curse is almost precisely what the whole world is experiencing now.

Russia’s Last-ditch Attempt at Empire

The short tyrant's last-ditch, pitiful attempt to get empire status for Russia reminds us of that other short fellow and his last-ditch attempt to regain some stature for the French Empire in the early 19th century. We talk here of the wars of the nations, and the reasons why Europe, Russia, and the West are collapsing. It was Russia's fault. This nation has suffered the largest population implosion of all of them because of what happened in 1920, and Humpty Dumpty simply cannot reverse the destruction brought about by abortion and the pill. Based on population estimates, we provide a pretty solid sense of who rules the world in 2050.

The role of Christians in society (as salt and light) is fast changing. Our strategies are shifting. The War of Worldviews takes on more of a guerrilla-warfare character. And it's time to build Christian community, which starts with the local church . . . and at core—our worship. And you can't build a Christian community without Christian education. And what are the non-negotiables that must form the do-or-die basis for likemindedness? Here, Kevin Swanson grills Douglas Wilson on his new book, "How to Build Christian Communities that Save the World." An interesting conversation, to say the least.

The Jurisdictional Free-for-All

What may be said for the family that breaks out the wine and bread for holy communion? What about the patriarchal dad that takes over the function of the church in his home? Is this the dissolution of the entire jurisdiction of the church in the mind of the post-Christian West? Here is an argument for the existence of the church as the institution of Christ Himself. What distinguishes a church from a YMCA or Christians hanging out? We bring out all the descriptions of the visible church and the gathering of the saints, and the ordaining of elders in every city, and the necessity of church discipline.

Do we want Christian teachers bringing a Christian worldview and Christian evangelism into the public schools? Or is the goal to allow multiple religions to be taught in the public schools? Or should public schools be eliminated entirely, and education turned over to the family jurisdiction? Did the Apostles focus on a child evangelism program for children in public schools, or did they preach to parents and then encourage parents to disciple their children? Here are critical questions relating to the way we do things in the Christian church today.

Why Do Liberals Like Masks?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Real scientists would say, "In God we trust. All else bring data." But people are less and less interested in double-blind studies, probabilities, and alpha and beta risks. Why are liberals so committed to masks and far-fetched evolutionary hypotheses? A four-fold increase of evangelicals or religious fundamentalists in the US embraced evolution between 1988 and 2019. There was a time however, when real Christians produced real science and technology that blessed the whole world. Bottom line, real science and genuinely helpful technology was almost exclusively the product of Christians, followers of the Carpenter from Nazareth. Every person in the world who drives an automobile, carrying a watch, using eyeglasses, and taking advantage of semiconductors should thank a Christian every day of his life; or better yet, thank Christ for bringing light and life to the world.

Is there a place for moral outrage, a love for God and His righteousness? Does it help us to hear these reports of abortion, killing, sexual perversion, etc.? Do we need more rants about how bad things are? The prophets are criticized for their warnings and honest descriptions of the present evil age. But what is the proper reaction? Passivity? Paralysis? Depression? Vigilantism? Agitation? Anxiety? Despair? Political action? More endless harangues and deprecating commentaries on the radio? We resolve this question by urging confidence in God's sovereignty and God's perfect judgment, and the need for repentance and faith in a faithless and perverse generation.

The Fed has failed. Nothing can stop the inflation tsunami now, and there is no policy that can put Humpty back together after 40 years of debt, stimulus, quantitative easing, and lowering interest rates to almost zero. The hearts of men have failed them, and so has the US federal government. The money-god of Dagon has fallen, and all that's left is his torso lying on the steps of the Federal Reserve. Is God as concerned about stealing as He is about sexual perversion and child killing? We take a look at a compendium of verses in that vein.

When will Christians call Francis Collins and others to account for rejecting the biblical account of Adam and Eve? The silence is deafening. Pragmatism is the ethical rule of the day when God’s law is tossed out. The biblical argument against the use of murdered adults or murdered children for Nazi experiments may be found in Proverbs 1:10-16.

New Christian film, Princess Cut 3, debuts on Valentine’s Day

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 02:00:00 -0500

What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Why not watch a modern-retelling of the Biblical Hosea and Gomer love story in Princess Cut 3: Beauty from Ashes? You can catch it in a one-time streaming event on Monday, February 14th for just $11.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Sheilah Munger, the North Carolina director, and homeschool mother of 9 children between the ages of 21 and 4.

Struggling waitress and single mother, Tessa Rigsby, (Kate MacCallum) scrapes through her days, looking for an opportunity to break into her real love: interior design. After an especially hectic New Year’s Eve and too few tips, she returns home to her apartment complex only to find herself the sole witness to a domestic disturbance.

Mike Coleman (Ben Davies from Courageous) is a by-the-books policeman who tries to convince her to testify, but she’s reluctant to get involved. Over time, she gives in and helps with the case and Mike returns the favor by setting her up with a design gig. His love and admiration of her grows the more they spend time together. Will the offender get out of jail early? Tessa finds herself in danger, and together with Mike’s help, races against time to escape her dead-end life and the clutches of an alcoholic, bent on settling the score.

Discover two delightful songs that Sheilah, and her husband Paul, sing to their children entitled “Do Right Till The Stars Fall” and John Bunyan’s “He Who Would Valiant Be.” The Biblical principles articulated in those songs are writ large in this new Christian film.

Worldviews of A. W. Tozer & Brian Houston

We do a meta-analysis of the Brian Houston/Hillsong worldview. We contrast Brian's books "You Need More Money," "How To Maximize Your Life," "You Can Change the Future," and "There is More—When the World Says You Can't," with the last 1,000 years of good Christian books . . . Martin Luther's “Bondage of the Will,” John Bunyan's “Pilgrim's Progress,” “The Imitation of Christ,” A. W. Tozer's “The Attributes of God” and “The Crucified Life,” “The Doctrine of Repentance,” “The Death of Death in the Death of Christ,” “An Alarm to the Unconverted,” and “The Mortification of Sin.” Is there an obvious departure from anything that renders a slight semblance of the Christian faith here? The emphasis shifts from God to "You," and the description of the Christian life shifts from suffering to success.

Rendering grace or mercy to the poor is not a matter of justice. It is a matter of mercy. We contrast the world's motivation to work with a Christian's motive. Ultimately, rewards lie in the hand of God. Proverbs 1:22—The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. 1 Samuel 2:7—The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.

What are the big issues or the small issues when it comes to leaving a church? Should churches part ways on BLM, masks, and George Floyd?

Some stories of redemption present a sharper picture, especially when we come upon the stories of torture and abuse. This story is especially powerful, as God's redemption comes to a man who faced serious abuse as a little boy between his second and thirteenth year. The book is entitled "The Creaking of the Stairs." Author Mez McConnell is pastor of Niddrie Community Church near Edinburgh. Nothing can address the pain, the confusion, the injustices, and the sheer evil of a world of abuse like the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the doctrines of God's holiness, His sovereignty, His judgment, and His propitiatory sacrifice of His only begotten Son. Here is a helpful testimony, and wisdom for how to minister to the abused in your families and churches.

The Fanatical Over-Population Worldview

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Like the Great Commission is important to us, the Commission to eliminate 90% of the world's population is important to the other religion. It is, in a real sense, their Great Commission. The over-population myth is firmly embedded at the most fundamental presuppositional level. Even Christians have bought into it, especially those who bought the recyclable "Green Bible." We contrast the biblical worldview with that worldview which cannot trust God's absolute sovereign control and God's all-wise system of ethics (and the Noahic covenant) to sustain the world until judgment day. Well, they don't believe in the final judgment either, for that matter. The strategy to reduce the world's population remains the same—get the wealthy and materialistic. Self-centeredness, abortifacients, and abortion will take over from there.

Homosexualizing the Bible

Here is how worldview impacts language and translations of the Bible. Bottom line. . . human languages must bend to the biblical worldview, and better translations should follow. But, what happens when the Bible and its translations are made subject to the worldviews of post-Christian or anti-Christian cultures? Then, we ask the question, to what extent should we deal with arguments and polemics? When conservatives are marked more by what they hate, than what they love, we have the problem of Ephesus. We are called to hate. . . the deeds of the Nicolaitans, whoever they were. But, more importantly, we are called to love. . . Jesus.

Average Earnings Fall Short of CPI

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Your paycheck is docked. Inflation is running 10-14%. Your savings account is losing 7% per year. And your conservative bond investments you bought 10 years ago have lost about 15% in value—$4 trillion in 10 years. But the good news is that the government gave you $3,200 during COVID. Average earnings have fallen since April of 2020—a 5.4% dock in pay. Ironically, the average annual paycheck has been docked $3,670 because the COLA's aren't keeping up with the CPI (let alone the real inflation index). Here is an encouragement at least to Christian employers that they inform their employees that their pay is being decreased for the work they do. Keynes admitted that inflation is an insidious, destructive economic force that not one man in a million could detect. We just hope that the 14-year-old kids that listen to this program will know what is happening.

Genetically Modified Pig-Man Heart

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

A Baltimore man is the first to receive a genetically-modified pig heart. And, Al Mohler tells us there is no reason for Christians to reject it. Or. . . is there reason? Would it be appropriate to apply Leviticus 19 to such a case? This Frankensteinian science sans the fear of God might even force us to use biblical law to assess such strangeness. The 21st century produced children born of three parents, artificial insemination, surrogate wombs, millions of disposable "snowflake" children, human-animal hybrids, artificial wombs, and innumerable other monstrosities. Have we equipped the man of God for this weirdness?

How Socialists Destroyed Charity

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Christian charity changed the world, and then Karl Marx showed up. Americans still provide 1.44% of the GDP in charity. We're still the most generous nation on earth, but that's dropped off by half since 1924. Church giving has dropped off from 2.8% to 0.7% of the GDP since 1924. And most of church offerings go to clergy and buildings, while governments assign 20-30% of the GDP to social programs. Private church and the church were basically irrelevant in the area of true Christian charity.

Atheism in Crisis

Is atheism dead yet? Eric Metaxas argues the point that the atheist position carved out in the Post-Christian West has actually become increasingly untenable. Atheism has become more anti-Intellectual or even anti-rational. How would Charles Darwin take the constant stream of evidence countering his far fetched hypothesis of advanced life forms evolving out of the inanimate over millions of years? While we wouldn't agree with the atheistic evolutionary construct, there are still internal contradictions that cannot be resolved by the committed atheist.

American Evangelicalism RIP

Why do 95%+ of the top selling evangelical female authors in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 tout failed marriages and broken families? This thing is way off the tracks—the dysfunctional leading the dysfunctional into. . . even more dysfunctionality. While not pointing fingers directly at one particular author, we uncover the systemic problems with the whole edifice. Why do we keep pointing back to Psalm 11? The solution to the problem is simple: The Lord is in His holy temple. His eyelids try the children of men.

Will Church & Family Freedom Survive?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Christians are the last hope for political, economic, and social freedoms in the world. But in the present decline, how will a family pass a legacy of Christian liberty on to their children? While Christian liberty is not the freedom to sin, this liberty does begin with freedom from sin. It is only at this point that a true passion for liberty grows in the heart, to the point that we can advocate liberty in a world that is headed towards tyranny.

Is Russia Doing Better Than US?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Russian President Vladimir Putin complains about the undermining of traditional family and faith by the abominations of the West. He's not pleased that Western values (or the lack thereof) are seeping into his country. However, Russia's Bolshevism already ruined the family a long time ago, and then, the Chinese communists quite successfully ruined the family, and then, the West's Gramscian Marxism went ahead and ruined the family out here. Given the utter devastation these Marxists have brought to the East and to the West, is it too late to salvage any of these civilizations? What can possibly reverse the birth implosions and the social destruction brought about by the Marxist zeitgeist of the last century?

Conspiracy: Fact or Fiction?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 30 Dec 2021 10:07:00 -0500

We approach the question of conspiracies with a great deal of caution, given that there are so many theological and life-application traps surrounding the matter. How do scientists know that there are, or that there are not, long-term effects from vaccines? With what epistemological authority/confidence could we ever make such an assertion? Nonetheless, there are still some short-term studies available from which families can make some decisions. Then, we answer the question as to whether there are evil people in government, and the extent to which these people exist. We know by their own testimonies as to their evil intent. But how could we know the extent to which they exist? Where do we cross the line into far-fetched surmising on questions like this?

Vaccine Kills More Kids Than Virus

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 09:00:00 -0500

A Columbia University study finally gets the best estimate thus far on the Vaccine-induced Fatality rate. . . and survey says the COVID “vaccine” is at least 4 times, and as much as 10 times, more fatal than the COVID-19 virus itself. Yet, world governments are bound to mandate the vaccine for children as well as adults. The unvaccinated are increasingly ostracized now, and the “yellow star” seems almost inevitable for the last hold-outs. Could this be a worldwide deception, and will this tyranny ever abate? And how does this now-famous Bill Gates quote tie in to tall of this: “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” What kind of vaccines does he have in mind that reduce the population?

An Obese World. . . Since 1975

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Practically the whole world has gotten obese since 1975 by a factor of 300-400%, and COVID would have been far less of a problem in 1975. Why does God ordain for COVID-19 to come now, when 75-80% of the serious cases are weight issues? Eliminating this factor, COVID death rates are about the same as the flu for the 65+ crowd, and COVID is far less lethal for the under 40-crowd. The Stage 2 Obese group is hospitalized at a rate of 42 per 10,000, the Stage 1 Obese group at 23 per 10,000, the Overweight group at 18 per 10,000, and the normal weighted group at only 13 per 10,000. That's a sample size of 340,000 taken in the UK. We discuss the problem and sins attendant to obesity on this edition of the program.

The Real Story of The Pilgrims

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Sadly, for most Americans, Thanksgiving is nothing more than food, family, and football. But Christians know better. Rediscover our precious Christian heritage for which we should be profoundly grateful. Psalm 9:1 says, “I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.”

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of the Providence Forum, about his new documentary entitled The Pilgrims which will air on the NRB Channel tonight, November 22, at 8:00pm ET. You can also rent/stream it for $6, purchase/stream it for $10, or get the DVD for $15.

While the politically correct activists falsely claim that the Pilgrims were just thanking the Indians on that first Thanksgiving, 400 years ago in 1621, the truth is that both groups were thanking Almighty God for His goodness.

Learn about the plot by renegade Catholics, led by Guy Fawkes, to blow up the British Parliament and King James on November 5, 1605, with 1,800 pounds of gunpowder in 36 barrels. They wanted to violently force England to revert to Catholicism.

When the plot was uncovered and the men were tried and executed, King James, the head of the Church of England, persecuted religious non-conformists including the Catholics, the Puritans, and the Separatists. Eventually, one separatist group, the Pilgrims, in their quest for religious liberty, first went to Holland, and then to America. You’ll hear about the Pilgrims’ 50-year treaty with the Indians, and the Mayflower Compact, which laid the foundation for the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

Guests on The Pilgrims include: Dennis Prager, Alveda King, Paul Jehle, Leo Martin, Rod Gragg, Bill Federer, and William Wrestling Brewster, the great-grandson (by 9x) of the de facto Pilgrim Pastor, Elder William Brewster.

With the exception of evangelicals, the peoples from every other church tradition are between 50% and 60% pro-abortion. Why did the churches surrender moral authority on this issue? The Church has an obligation to excommunicate those who knowingly support the killing of innocent children in this country. This was the Christian commitment dating back to Pastor Ambrose and Emperor Theodosius in the 5th century. What are we saying when a church in New Guinea won’t take a stand against cannibalism? What are we saying when a church in America won’t take a stand against abortion? What are we saying when a church that meets in a prison won’t take a stand against bank robbery and serial killing? What are we saying when the church won’t oppose the female draft?

Rittenhouse and Self Defense

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0500

The Rittenhouse story has legs to it, and the nation is riveted by this young man and his self-defense case in the Wisconsin courthouse. Without adjudicating the case, we carefully analyze the biblical principles tied into it, and provide general applications to young men. . . to include a thoughtful consideration of the wisdom of Johnny Cash—Don’t Take Your Guns to Town.

Christian Engagement with Culture

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Here we grapple with the fundamental question of how to engage with a post-Christian’ish culture. How do we equip our children to know the Christian worldview, to communicate an apologetic, and engage positively in an increasingly anti-Christian culture? How do they think, live, and speak in the world about them?

When to Disobey the Government

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0500

A listener asks the question: "So many of the Christians I speak with today are willing to just roll over, get the shot, hand over their guns...whatever the ‘authorities’ demand on the basis of Romans 13. I know we have to respect authorities as they have been instituted by God but I also believe that we have to resist tyranny. Can you offer any clarification regarding the application of Romans 13 and whether or not this is a blanket statement calling us to submit to any/all authority or am I missing something in terms of context or interpretation?" An extended discussion ensues on this question: When do we disobey? Or should we rather obey?

Not “Taking America Back”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Regrets, second thoughts, and a distinct cooling effect are defining some of the Joshua Generation—the first cadre of homeschool graduates. The ra-ra, do-hard-things, take-America-back revolution seems to have fizzled out a bit for Alex Harris and World Magazine, not to mention brother Joshua Harris. This introduces an interesting discussion on puritanism and separatism, taking America back, pessimistic eschatology, salt and light, and the distinct desalination of evangelicalism today.

Same-Sex Attraction - What Is That?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0500

The enemy has tossed another slippery term into the mix, causing Christians consternation, dividing churches, and making more room for homosexuality. What in the world does “Same-Sex Attraction” mean? There are three to four different definitions, but the obfuscation is purposeful. Why are evangelicals so committed to the position that “Same-Sex Attraction,” “Incestuous Attraction,” etc., is not a sin? Four reasons here. How does a person repenting of homosexuality get in a biblical church? Here are some important pointers that churches should follow, especially in an age of mass apostasy.

Capital Punishment for Murder

As the nation swerves more and more out of control, the civil magistrate abandons its obligations to maintain order in society. The legalization of shoplifting in San Francisco is only a slight example of the larger problem. But the most refreshing indication is that Christian news organizations are finally appealing to the Bible in two instances to buttress their "biblical world and life view."

A Fake Gospel

The Bible warned us about false prophets and teachers–wolves that come for the sheep. This warning is just as prevalent today as it has been at any time in the past. So much of modern Evangelicalism has stumbled thousands, focusing on fluff and personal revelations, rather than the solid substance of God's Word. On this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson interviews Justin Peters of Justin Peters Ministries about the fake Gospel that is so prevalent in today's world, and what Christians need to be doing to focus back on the truth of God's Word.

The World Leaders have almost total unanimity on a green agenda now, with wayward nations repenting of their failure to support the Emperor's New Clothes Initiative. We mosey up to the microphone to ask a few more pointed questions of the wizards that peep and mutter. . . . So what's the downside of more carbon dioxide? And how sure are you of that? How is the average global temperature of the last 40 years different than 1850, 1750, 1650, 1550, and 1450? And how sure are you? Did you have 50,000 thermometers, all carefully calibrated, getting good data? Did you have enough thermometers down in the Mariana Trench in 1350, checking data? What contributes to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? And how sure are you of that? And one more question . . . Is this green agenda just plain insanity, or is it engineered to destroy the world economy?

Crisis in the College

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0400

U.S. college registration had fallen by 4 million in ten years, a 600,000 drop in one year. At this rate, college attendance will halve in ten more years. Some 60% of 25-44-year-old workers in the force are saddled with debt. And the average debtor will spend a minimum of 6 years paying off the debt. For the college debtor of 1975, the average debtor could have paid it off in 9 months. Can you hear the dearth knell of the liberal college? Is it time to go back to the Jesus method for training pastors, instead of using the liberal arts college to manufacture proud, corrupting man-worshipers?

We interact with William Lane Craig's new book and his rejection of the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 as real history. But if you jettison the history of Genesis 1-11, why not jettison the history of Christ's resurrection in Luke 24? The breach of faith occurs at the failure to receive the epistemological authority of the Word of God.

John Piper “Encourages” the Shot

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Evangelical Christian leadership in America are dutifully encouraging us all to just give in and get “the shot.” Earlier this week, Pastor John Piper urges us to take advantage of our freedom in Christ, and “get the vaccine.” What? What’s that mean? We are, says Pastor Piper, free from fear of peer pressure to get the shot, trust the science, trust the government, and trust the data. Isn’t the fear of pressure coming from political institutions, risks of losing your job, etc. a little more of a potential problem than fearing those few people who aren’t getting the shot? Should we be more insistent to obtain a margin of freedom from big government mandates than grabbing onto the “freedom” to put fetal-tissue derived cell lines and foreign mRNA concoctions into our veins? Shall we be more concerned about big government control than nasty microbes like Smallpox and COVID? That’s what the older Christian leadership (as for example, Abraham Kuyper) used to say. And where is this thing going? If government has control over what chemicals you put in your body. . . the government can force you into abortifacients, day afters, and chemical abortions. Are you ready for this?

The Government Is Lying to You About Inflation

The average U.S. household has lost about half of its income by inflation since 1975 if you account for the massive increase in median housing prices, median new car prices, education, and medical insurance. The official CPI and PCE measurements don't even come close to the real story. Here we demonstrate how the median household income is about half of what it was in 1975, adjusted for the real inflationary increases in prices. The government is lying to you.

New “God’s Not Dead” film topic? Homeschooling!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0400

On July 23^rd, France virtually banned home education. In light of President Joe Biden’s ill-conceived vaccine mandate through businesses with 100 employees or more, is it possible that America will once again become hostile to the freedom to home educate?

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Christian musician Francesca Battistelli on today’s edition of Generations Radio. This real-life homeschool mother of five portrays a homeschool mother of two in the latest installment in the “God’s Not Dead” Christian film series. “God's Not Dead: We the People” hits the silver screen for three days only -- Monday, October 4, Tuesday, October 5, and Wednesday, October 6.

In the film, homeschool parents receive an impromptu inspection by a leftist local government official who doesn’t like what she finds, so Reverend Dave defends them. Believing that the children are receiving an inferior education compared to their public-school counterparts, the intrusive government official contends that they are being unfairly indoctrinated at a young age by their Bible-believing parents. So, the families are ordered to return their children to the government school system. If the homeschool parents do not comply, they face exorbitant fines and contempt of court.

Taken aback by the interference of the government, they believe that their right to educate their own children is a freedom worth fighting for. So, the resistant families, along with Reverend Dave, are invited to Washington to testify in a landmark congressional hearing. It will determine the future of education in America for years to come.

When a student at a Christian college flaunts a particular sexual sin (whether it be homosexuality, incest, or typical fornication), what must the college do? These are increasingly important questions in an age of apostasy. There are two different attacks coming against the Christian college by the dominant zeitgeist. The courts have rejected the College of the Ozarks' preemptive suit against the federal government on the matter. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is requiring LGBT non-discrimination on accommodation elements of the economy, which appears to extend to the Christian college. Meanwhile, apostate Christian college students are suing the Christian colleges for a “consistent use” of Title IX funds, requiring the colleges to abide by Caesar’s pro-homosexual agenda. Who will win here? Is this the death knell for the Christian college?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0400

57% of American babies are killed now. 53% are born without fathers. For young women (both college educated and non-college educated), the problem is four times worse than it was in 1996. The female-to-male ratio on college graduates is moving 2 to 1. This is all wonderful from the perspective of the world, but how do we determine good and evil? By what standard?

California Schools Worship Aztec Gods

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Why are the Californians worshiping the gods of the Aztecs now? And training children to worship them? It seems a little odd for the secular, atheistic state to embrace polytheism and human sacrifice. But will they bring human sacrifice into California elementary and secondary schools? For those who are a little iffy on the American slide into paganism, we establish a strong biblical argument from Deuteronomy 12 and 13 against human sacrifice. Could this be one more reason why Christians should leave the public schools?

Riding the Slippery Slope

The majority of doctors are okay with killing now. 55% support doctor assisted suicide, up from 46% in 2010. The scale has tipped towards euthanasia. Social security is bankrupt in 2034, and that year moves up a year every year. So we have maybe 6 years left. Medicare Part A is depleted in 2026. Will Christians wake up, and work on a biblical solution to this massive problem to impact 80 million baby boomers, 45% of which have NO SAVINGS????

Global Market Crash Imminent

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0400

The failure of Keynes, the failure of government, the failure of monetary manipulation, the failure of power, the failure of the stimulus, and the failure of man is now made plain. The Biden administration's Department of Treasury admits this is unsustainable, but they are powerless to do anything about it. But why all this investment in the economy with such reckless abandonment? Why the market chaos? What must Christians do to rebuild a sane economy in the following decades? What are the biblical principles reiterated again and again throughout the Scriptures, but completely ignored by our government?

The Bible and Political Ethics

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 22:12:00 -0400

The influence of righteousness is squelched because churches will not teach the principles of God's Word in relation to politics. Church pastors are partially to blame for the rise of tyranny in our country. With the rampant growth of big government, socialism, homosexual politics, and the dissolution of the family, this is a good time in the history of the west to crack the book and see what God says about all of these things. So Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Wayne Grudem on his new comprehensive tome, “Politics–According to the Bible.” Dr. Grudem covers five different perspectives on the relationship of faith and civil government, and addresses a host of salient issues including taxation, welfare, environmental fascism, abortion, and freedom.

Homeschooling Salvaging Faith and Freedom Around the World

While secularism is burning down the Western world and destroying all values, family, and the future, homeschooling has the potential to restore a remnant. But, France did the wrong thing. She joined Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands in banning homeschooling. Is there any hope at all for Western Europe? We go over the benefits of homeschooling to salvage faith and freedom in the Eastern bloc countries, as well as the United States—where it is allowed.

The west is in the fight of their lives for control over culture and what goes on in media, and a Christian world view isn't even in the running. Bill Jack and Kevin Swanson discuss this deep disparity when it comes to a Biblical worldview in the movies and tv shows produced in the western world. Are too many Christians today purely ignorant of a Biblical worldview or are they fooled by the movies that appeal to our deepest emotions?

Evolution Gaining Ground in U.S.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Despite all the efforts on the part of worldview ministries like ours, America has moved pro-evolution just in the last 10 years. The substantial progress is attributed to college-level indoctrination (and the failure of conservative evangelical Christianity). What a tragedy that so many pseudo-intellectual, seminary, and university-trained Christians collapse to the pseudo-science and the insanity of the Darwinian hypothesis! God has given them all up to a debased mind. But why do Christian leaders cower when it comes to opposing the world? Why is there such failure to engage the worldview war with pastors in the church?

What does the Bible say about imperialism, empire building, and nation building? Why is isolationism and focusing more upon our own sins (than how Islam nations are sinning) would be a more humble approach? The Pride of Empire assumes we are the all-righteous ones who can bring justice to the world. We kill 57% of our babies. . . and then get upset when the Muslims oppress women. The West is humbled. America is humbled. Now Christians and conservatives need to reassess the direction of this nation, and the business of civil government.

Gospel Coalition Movie Reviews

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

How do movies soaking in a nihilist worldview with ample quantities of profanities and "f-words" gain so many recommendations from Christian pastors and Christian movie reviewers? Coming highly recommended by a Christian reviewer, Mr. Nathan Robertson, are the homosexual film "Moonlight," "Mad Max-Fury Road," and "Pig"—all R-rated films. It doesn't take a genius to turn just about any movie scene or symbol into an analogy for Jesus and His redemption. How is this movie Pig, "one of the most subtly theological films of the year?" Analyzing the actual movie screenplay, we sum up the Mad Max and Pig worldviews, and then challenge the whole Christian entertainment scene to discernment.

Correction: The program mistakenly attributed a Top 50 list to a Mr. Wiley, and should have attributed the Top 50 list to another reviewer, Mr. Nathan Robertson.

Should Christians Use the Aborted Fetus Shots?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

The Johnson and Johnson was derived from Aborted Fetal Tissue. But also, the mRNA shots were tested using Aborted Fetal Tissue. The Pfizer and BioNTech jabs were protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. The Moderna shot was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. The Astra-zeneca, and Vaxart, and Sputnik shots were tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293 as well. Should Christians avail themselves to this brave new world, ethically debauched science? And how much of this is food offered to idols, sold in the shambles? Before taking the jab, listen to this interview with a California church that has taken exemption on the aborted-fetal tissue issue.

There is a myth going around holding that secularism is good and Islam is bad. Secular governments are good and Islamic governments are bad, because secular governments are neutral and religion-free. Actually, secularism is a religion, and Christians are the patsies when it comes to buying into this myth. Secularism has its own metaphysic and ethic. Man is at the center, and the state is ultimate for this religion. What about Al Mohler's distinction between religion and secularism?

The Imperialists. The Communists. The Taliban.

So, whose side are we supposed to be on? The Pharisees or the Sadducees? Christians must be careful about these state issues in which we’re supposed to find the better of two evils. But what is to be done about the injustices in the world, and the constant flow of evil dictators that seem to ooze out of these non-Christian nations? The Scriptures provide us the definition of the wicked and righteous, and that line of antithesis is to be maintained, no matter what.

Biggest Socialist Leap Since FDR

The grand larceny committed by the U.S. governments is destabilizing the nation. The leading socialist in the U.S. government, Senator Bernie Sanders, calls it "The most consequential piece of legislation. . . since FDR and the New Deal of the 1930s." But the approach taken to surrender everything to big government socialism has created massive destabilization of an entire economy and monetary system. Confidence has disappeared in banks and the monetary system. But what about crypto-currency? It turns out crypto is 20 times more destabilized than the banks, at least based on the largest heist in history (just committed). So. . . now what?

Christian Parents Called to Disciple Children

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

According to George Barna’s America’s Worldview Inventory, a person’s worldview (the lens through which they see and understand the world) is solidified by age 13. Although someone’s worldview may change or adjust throughout their life, the overwhelming majority of Americans have their worldview in place before high school, with little to no change afterward.

Barna’s research shows that today only 6% of American adults hold a biblical worldview. Even more troubling is the finding that only 21% of those who regularly attend evangelical churches have a biblical worldview—despite the fact that 81% think they do.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews David Closson, the Director for The Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council about his column entitled The Duty of Parents in Education.

God has clearly outlined parents’ responsibility for their children. When Moses was passing down the law of God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai, God commanded parents:

“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deut. 6:6-7)

By issuing these commands to parents, God made them ultimately responsible for educating and instilling a biblical worldview in their children.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Hobby Lobby points out America's Christian heritage, and that's got all the atheists in a lather. But even among Christians, there is a dread fear to even think about applying any biblical law to politics or any other area of life (except for the personal). It's hard when you are (at present) on the losing side of the cultural war. The enemy throws up accusations of dominionism or theocracy, and other undefined words, and then they burn the straw men down. We define these terms and explain that Jesus really does rule, and God does too.

CT: “Jesus Is Anti-Gun”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Christianity Today issues an article sharply curtailing Christian liberty in relation to gun ownership. The article is a good example of red herrings, non sequiturs, eisegetical biblical argument, etc. But at root, the religion presented by CT is the wrong one—the wrong view of man, the wrong view of sin, and the wrong view of the Christian life.

Extraordinary Government Force

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Will a friendly government official visit your front door with an mRNA shot in hand for you and your family? We are set back in a spell of amazement at the sheer government power and the trust in government needed to produce 3.5 billion inoculations in a mere 6 months. While we would respect liberty to make the choice to vaccinate or not to, the unhealthy levels of trust in man will not yield good fruit. Shall we dismiss long-term effects so easily?

Generational Revival or Degrade?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Christianity in the West is dying out one generation at a time and one family at a time. Here, Voddie Baucham asks the question, “Can Faith Survive in a Post-modern Culture?” Combining the problems of sinking birth rates and the inability of families to pass along their tepid faith to the next generation, the U.S. church is facing a severe decline. But there is hope for the salvage of the Christian church in the West as the faithful submit both their doctrine and practice to the authority of the Word of God.

Facebook Worth $1 Trillion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

The five richest businesses in America are mostly fluff, and extremely unstable persons are running them. The leaders of the 2020s are nowhere near the stable and responsible leaders of the 1970s. This is what the end looks like, as real productivity and true value is of little interest to the modern investor. The Price to Earnings are now in the O-zone, and the federal government is 35-fold the tyranny it was 100 years ago. We tell you what’s really going on in your world today, and address the obvious questions. If there were a return to sanity, what would the government do? What should you do?

An Olympian-sized Sexual Confusion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

So what are the differences between the Ancient Greek Olympics and modern Olympics? A little more clothing, egalitarian sports, and transgender madness. And that's about it. The abandonment of God's law will end the Me-Too movement in utter frustration, not to mention the feminists and transgenders, who themselves can't get along with each other anymore. Women want to be in the same roles as men in every employment and athletic competition. . . except for the fact that they don't. Men who want to be women want to be in the same roles as women in every employment and athletic competition. . . except for the fact that the women don't want them too. . . but they're not supposed not want them to, because everybody is supposed to be okay with choosing your own gender.

The Worldview of Secret Deodorant

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Churches are fracturing over homosexuality now, and the largest corporations are almost without exception making their proper prostrations to the god of sodomy. We carefully analyze the worldview of a deodorant advertisement. Women are no longer nurturers—they must be fierce and cruel. But most importantly, one must assume the arrogance and pride to define one's own sexual and gender identity—and don't sweat the guilt with this deodorant!

The Pied Piper of all pied pipers in the world now controls the minds of the world with $65 billion/yr up from $2 billion/yr in 1985. That beats the $25 billion given to Christian missions around the world. But what is this worldview, now featuring drag queens hanging out with Kermit the Frog?

Stable Investments in an Unstable Age

Here are several ideas for developing a family economy in a family-disintegrating age. While money is not an end in itself, how might we be good stewards of capital in an extremely destabilized age? First lay up treasures in heaven, teach your children the Word of God, and disciple the next generation of church leaders for the worldwide body of Christ. Then, think about building a family economy to replace the socialist economies that have done so much damage in the last 40 years.

The monthly child welfare/tax credit check starts on July 15th. This hands at least 50% of American kids over to Caesar one more time. We go over the history of power grabs as Caesar systematically moved control of children, their education, welfare, health, etc. onto the state. Do we really want the slave master to own our children? Is it a fair trade for womb-to-tomb security? Or should Christian families go the other way and develop a family economy?

Unrest in Loudoun County

Parents are up in arms in the Loudoun County, Virginia, school board meeting over a lot of things. Pornography in the literature class, critical race theory, and the transgendering of the schools. The county turned blue in 2016, and represents a lot of places around the country. No wonder 14.5% of Americans with kids have turned to homeschooling. But will Homer really beat out the porn in terms of the fundamental worldview operating? What about classical education? Will that be a worthy alternative?

America’s Massive Social Shift

Homeschooling is a permanent fixture in America’s academic future, and some of our leading academics call it the “brightest light.” An explosion is happening in the homeschooling population, and the minority groups are leading the pack. Numbers range between 5 million and 8 million, up from 3 million in 2019. What does this mean for the future of America and the rest of the world? Is it time to say “Goodbye” to public schools? Kevin Swanson goes over a hot-off-the-press survey with HSLDA Attorney Mike Donnelly concerning the new homeschooling movement in America.

Woke-Multiculturalism without Jesus

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

American professional sports is woked and homosexualized. So is country music and the rest of the heartland. The military has got the same dry rot as of the last six months. America takes its place right after South Africa as the most multicultural nation in the world, but. . . without Christ. The liberals find unity in dividing a nation by woke, by intersections, and class warfare. Conservatives hope to find it in Americanism, patriotism, or nationalism. We suggest the only real possibility of reuniting a multicultural nation now would be under the rule and reign of the Lord Jesus Christ—first in the church. But, that's not even working for the Southern Baptists.

Nero the Hero at British Museum

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Piggybacking on a Wall Street Journal article, we discover that Nero’s the hero, and Vlad the Impaler is not so bad in the revisionist histories of the day. But how does one of the most contemptible men in human history achieve such prominence in the British Museum? We take a look at how Nero was viewed by the early Church Fathers and those who wrote on the book of Revelation in the first centuries. They thought he was the Beast. But now, what is this — the return of the Beast or at least, the beastly principle? This introduces the discussion of how we look at the good guys and bad guys in history. Should we take sides?

What has happened to the modern man? It's not that he has been feminized. It's that he has embraced escapism, defeatism, faithlessness, and weakness. It's a systemic problem. It's a porn problem. It's a Peter Pan problem. How does the Bible define masculinity? By one word. . . strength.

Will preferred pronouns win out with the Gospel Coalition, Campus Crusade, the PCA, and the Southern Baptists? Major dividing lines threaten the PCA and the SBC this month at their respective conventions, as the fault lines spread out. The northern denominations were always more liberal, eager to do the most unbiblical thing possible. The southern denominations were always more conservative. . . a little slower at compromise. So all compromises for southern denominations must be more surreptitious. But the bottom line is always a rejection of God's law. The heterodox refuse to keep the commandments of God in an age of autonomy.

How to stop the Transgender Train

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Brad Dacus, President of the Pacific Justice Institute, about why the Christian legal rights group advocated on May 26th for two Wisconsin bills (AB 195 and AB 196) which would prohibit biological men, pretending to be women, from competing on women’s high school and college athletic teams.

To urge Wisconsin Democrat Governor Tony Evers to sign these bills into law, call 608-266-1212.

Ray Hacke, the Pacific Justice Institute attorney who testified before the Wisconsin legislature, has covered women's sports as a journalist and coaches his daughter in softball and basketball.

Hacke explained, “Since Title IX's passage in 1972, courts all over the country have made abundantly clear that because girls are typically at a physiological disadvantage when competing against boys, letting boys compete in girls' sports would relegate girls to being runners-up, benchwarmers, or spectators in their own sports. That would effectively deny them an equal opportunity to compete and undermine Title IX's purpose completely!”

Plus, he has already testified before legislatures in North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Montana – either in person or via videoconferencing – and has advised lawmakers in Arkansas, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia concerning their women's sports bills.

Genesis 1:27 declares, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.”

Do you have a Biblical worldview?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Owen Strachan -- pronounced STRAN -- who, along with Dr. George Barna, just launched The Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council. Dr. Strachan currently serves as Provost and Research Professor of Theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary in Conway, Arkansas. And he’s former president of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.

The Center for Biblical Worldview has released a new, national survey regarding the state of worldview in America. The objective of the survey was to provide original, research-based insights about how many people possess a Biblical worldview; if and to what extent they seek to integrate that worldview into every dimensions of their life; what influences have helped them to do so; and whether they believe that such integration matters to God.

According to the survey, 80% of born-again Christians claim to have a Biblical worldview. But, according to dozens of worldview questions, only 19% actually do!

Dr. Strahan said, “If Christians do not form a biblical worldview in evil days like these, they represent sitting ducks. But when believers are trained by churches and other strengthening institutions like Family Research Council to think in a distinctly Biblical way, they cease to be an easy target. They learn to think unto God, reason from the Scriptures, and proclaim the excellency of Christ in a world that hates Him.”

James 5:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”

Why Vaccine Passports Are the End of Human Liberty

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Mat Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal rights group, about their opposition to the freedom-killing vaccine passports which have been rolled out in Oregon. Democrat Governor Kate Brown has now implemented a statewide policy to require proof of COVID shots for people to enter businesses, workplaces, and churches without wearing masks.

Dr. Naomi Wolf, an author and Rhodes Scholar, predicts that the vaccine passport will eventually track every aspect of people's lives and would violate the U.S. Constitution and HIPAA. She said, “This is literally the end of human liberty in the West if this plan unfolds as planned. It's not about the vaccine, it's not about the virus, it's about data. And once this rolls out you don't have a choice about being part of the system.”

Mat Staver addresses:

whether he believes the proposed implanted chip dovetails with the mark of the Beast found in Revelation 13:17.
how Bill Gates, a well-known eugenics advocate, plays a role in vaccine passports.
the importance of getting educated at LC.org/vaccine and speaking out.
why Christians can have hope that God will heal our land and restore our freedom.

Guest host Adam McManus concludes his 2-part interview with Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church in Chicago, who has written a new book entitled We Will Not Be Silenced! Responding Courageously to Our Culture’s Assault on Christianity. (Listen to Part 1 here)

Dr. Lutzer talks about:

the Left’s ability to promote propaganda. He cites George Orwell’s novel 1984 and the chilling totalitarian state with its “Ministry of Truth which brainwashed the people. The slogan of Oceania is “War is peace; freedom is slavery; ignorance is strength.” Listen to how he connects the dots to us today.
the sexualization of the children. He points to the fact that in 2004, Pew Research polls showed 60% of Americans opposed homosexual faux marriage. Today only 40% oppose it. He explains to what he attributes that dramatic change.
how radical secularists have joined with radical Islamists to fight, side by side, against Christianity in America.
the key to Saul Alinsky’s success, as Marxist community organizer in Chicago, was to shut people down with direct, personalized criticism and ridicule instead of debating ideas.
the compelling passage in Revelation 3 in which Jesus confronted the church of Sardis. His message is something the American church desperately needs to hear today.

We Will Not Be Silenced! Part 1

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 31 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Our culture today considers biblical faith an expression of bigotry and hatred, yet resorts to shaming and pressure tactics to enforce its secularist views. How do you witness for Christian beliefs without being intimidated into silence? And how can believers respond with truth, gentleness, and Christ-like love, showing compassion and not compliance or conformity?

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church in Chicago, who has written a new book entitled We Will Not Be Silenced! Responding Courageously to Our Culture's Assault on Christianity. Lutzer will:

examine “cultural Marxism,” which curbs free speech, increases government control, grows racial conflict, is hostile toward Christianity, and destroys the nuclear family.
discuss this Leftist notion of rewriting the past to control the future.
talk about Saul Alinsky, a well-known Marxist from Chicago who wrote Rules for Radicals. The Left wants to use diversity to divide and destroy.
address whether he sees any similarities in the American church today and the German church which did not rise up in opposition to the propaganda of the Third Reich.

Christians should treasure the elderly

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Kristen Hardin, the author of a new Christian children’s book entitled Miss Mary: A Tale of Old County Clare. Too often, those in their twilight years no longer feel valued. God created each of us, including the elderly, in His image. Sadly, our culture has become increasingly hostile to the elderly. Kristen Hardin underscores not only the value of senior citizens, but also the importance of the body of Christ ministering to them in their need.

Based on Kristen’s grandmothers, Alice Hammer and Ruth Greenwood, she was inspired to create the fictional Miss Mary in County Clare, Ireland who is busy doing things for other people. But what happens when she's the one who needs a helping hand? This sweet story seeks to warm hearts and share truths about giving and receiving.

In addition to getting to know her two grandmothers, you’ll learn about Kristen’s childhood, salvation, love of family, and how she got to know her husband.

The Miracle of an Abortion Survivor, Part 2

Guest host Adam McManus concludes his fascinating conversation with Claire Culwell, a young woman who survived her birth mother’s abortion. (Listen to part 1 here.) After Claire discovers the truth of her birth story, watch how God empowers this died-in-the-wool introvert to share her remarkable testimony in front of abortion mills, in speeches to concerned citizens to a crowd of 20,000 people in New York Times Square, and before millions on Fox & Friends.

Perhaps most amazingly, Claire providentially becomes best friends with Abby Johnson, who aborted two of her children and was the one-time Planned Parenthood Director in College Station, Texas. After participating in an ultrasound-guided abortion, Johnson left the abortion industry, became a pro-life advocate, got married, and is now raising eight children. Her life is featured in the book and movie entitled Unplanned.

Claire’s own unplanned pregnancy puts her pro-life convictions to the test. It’s all recorded in her book Survivor: An Abortion Survivor's Surprising Story of Choosing Forgiveness and Finding Redemption. One thing becomes clear: what the Devil meant for evil, God turned to good.

A Christian school in the Denver area is in hot water with the federal courts for taking the “wrong” position on racial justice. This introduces a discussion on racial justice—a subject that is inciting a great deal of class envy, horrible social divisiveness, and even church dissension. God is sovereign, and He favors privileges and advantages for some over others as He wills. While the government is not called on to solve all inequities, there may be some instances in which the government creates inequities. We give examples.

More fundamentally, why is the government so regulating medicine. . . and education. . . and everything else.

The challenges only increase and the tests intensify for young Christian men who are looking at military service. There are potential snares everywhere. What sort of Christian is called to serve in the military? How do you know your son is prepared for it? Kendrick Jefferson has been in military service for over 25 years as a faithful Christian, discipled of men, and pastor/shepherd. Here is invaluable advice for those looking at military service or seeking to grow in Christ in the service.

No Safe Place in the World for Kids

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 11 May 2021 09:09:00 -0400

The most insidious, the most thorough-going work of principalities and powers on Earth is the $5 trillion mega-institution of Public Education in the secular humanist worldview. Pastor John Piper summarizes it this way: "There's no safe place in the world for kids. [A] radically Christian education at home . . . will be needed in order to build into the children's lives two deep and unshakable convictions." What does a family do in Sweden who has no alternative to the homosexualized, secularized, nihilistic ethics of the public schools?

Loving Babies & the Elderly, and Birth Implosions

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 10 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

After 80,000,000 abortions and the U.S. birth implosion dipping to 1.5 children per woman, what will social security look like in 2035? In 1950, there were 16 workers for 1 retiree. In 2015, there were 3 workers for 1 retiree. In 2035, there will be 2 workers for 1 retiree. What will Christians do when euthanasia comes on like a storm? Are we making any progress with the IUD abortions, and the Kill Pill abortions? Thirteen percent of women getting abortions claim to be evangelicals, and evangelicals make up barely 20% of the population. And there is no statistical difference between the percentage of evangelicals using IUD’s (long-acting systems of conception control), and the rest of the population. But Jesus called us to love. Families should love babies. Jesus calls us not to kill our babies and our elderly. If the love of God dwells in us, then we will love them and not kill them. Will the Christian church look markedly different from the world in this generation?

Bill Gates’ divorce is rocking the world. It’s only another sign of the massive instability that has taken the whole world. The six most powerful people in the world are divorced. None of the most powerful persons in the world were divorced in 1970. Power and money aren't helping anymore. Salvation is only of the Lord. A perfect storm has developed out of global instability at four levels—social, political, economic, and psychological. When the foundations are destroyed, what will the righteous do?

Christianity Today’s narrative points to evangelical activism and anti-pluralistic intolerance as the problem.

Oscars 2021—Hollywood RIP

"Turn out the lights, the party's over." For what may be our last foray into a dying culture, we visit the 93rd Academy Awards for Motion Pictures in 2020. We read the eulogy of Western culture once more. Yet, shades of Christ and echoes of a Christian era still linger even in the last films to receive the tarnished awards in that non-celebratory celebration. As Western culture continues its destructive path, will islands of culture form in the monasteries of the new dark age?

Will the president's unprecedented $4 trillion plus $1.9 trillion plan to bring in free preschool and free college, and other womb-to-tomb bennies bankrupt the nation? Or will this be the slow drain on a once prosperous nation? The effects of envy are always destructive. The intent on the part of the left to tax capital or destroy capital will put a squeeze on the middle class. At first glance, Christians see the "soak the rich" strategy as a wonderful form of funding irresponsible government, the Scriptures condemn such legalized plunder. We discuss the biblical view of wealth on this edition of the program.

Does God's commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves require that we get an immunization shot for COVID? A recent poll found most American Christians say "Yes" to that. If we were to love our neighbor, what would we say about the 1,500,000 deaths that are self-inflicted each year? And when it comes to the golden rule, we point out that three is some bit of subjectiveness and some limitation of knowledge as to what would produce good for ourselves and our neighbors. Thus, shall we provide some liberty for our neighbors on decisions like the mRNA shot?

Liberal Faculty at Christian Colleges

The great bane and root source of apostasy for the Christian church is always traced back to the liberal college faculty in Christian colleges. From whence is the tension between the faculty and the more conservative boards of these Christian colleges? Red-state parents send their kids to blue colleges, and they always turn out blue. But why? Can the Christian college be fixed, or is the entire system programmed to a bad end? What about education majors? Psychology majors? Sociology majors? Where did these come from?

In total, the electric car produces twice the carbon dioxide as a gas-powered car. But what if carbon dioxide was good for plants, producing a greener planet? What about that? Should Christians be concerned about the efforts to raise the price of energy by two to four times on the part of governments which are running nations into bankruptcy?

It wasn't so much a conspiracy. It was the force of the media, the Gramscian zeitgeist, and the apostasy of the kids—influencing the most powerful leaders in the country.

Ultimate Target—Christian Colleges

A federal lawsuit just filed is challenging the US Dept. of Ed's exemptions for Christian colleges on Title IX requirements. Christian colleges are facing the ultimate test as they become the ultimate target for the Biden administration and the left. In Al Mohler's words, and Joshua's words for that matter: "Choose ye this day." Either the schools will have to compromise their values to receive the Title IX dollars or. . . lose it. But then again, liberal arts schools are usually. . . liberal. Humanities professors in the US are only 6% Republican. English Lit professors register 2% Republican, Sociology professors are 0%, and Business professors register 26% Republican. Overall, the university professor population's Democrat-to-Republican ratio stands at 10.4 to 1. Liberal arts was always the tip of the spear for the unravelling of Christian culture in the West.

An atom bomb has dropped on the family since 1970. The whole western world loosened divorce laws beginning in 1969. Abortion was legalized in 1973. Cohabitation rates increased 20 fold since 1970. The illegitimacy rate increased seven-fold. Homosexuality was legalized in 2001. And homosexual marriage came in 2015. Now is the time to battle for the biblical family. But first, we need to know how God defines a family. What is the importance of covenant? Why must the father be recognized as the federal head of the family? What is the first step to fixing a broken-down family? These and other questions are considered with Dr. George Scipione who teaches biblical counseling at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

The Biden Agenda Unleashed

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Why the transgendering of the nation is so basic to the Biden agenda is hard to figure out. However, the transgender-revolution conducted in Connecticut is now introduced to the entire country through this one, arguably the most radical Secretary of Education in the nation's history—Miguel Cardona. But at root, this is a man-centered worldview on steroids operating. Christians are looking for a God-centered worldview for their children's education now.

Why 16% of Young People Go “LGBT”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Kids are taught every day, everywhere that "gay is cool." And, the other thing they know is this: Pastors, churches, Paul, and Moses are not cool. But what will be cool next year? The post-Christian culture requires increasing levels of application of that old text: "Come out from among them and be separate saith the Lord." But, how will Christian parents raise their children in the midst of the sexual nihilism now dominating our world? We also address Bethany Christian Adoption Services, recently signed up for the millstone treatment.

Elon Musk, Bit Coin, and Debt Monetization

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Has the US become one big Ponzi scheme? Has the character of the nation come to the point that only Ponzi schemes hold any real interest on the part of investors and voters? We discuss the most unprofitable company in the world, and the profit it pulls from legalized extortion plots. The Federal Reserve stepped up debt monetization in 2008-ish, but as of 2020 the Fed is monetizing debt like it's going out of style. A few years ago, only 11% of the debt was monetized. Now we're looking at 27%. And, roughly 90% of the $4.5 trillion last year was monetized. In case our listeners are unaware of what fractional reserve banking and debt monetization looks like, we provide a little allegory to help out.

Banning Dr. Seuss & Huck Finn

The cancel culture is stupid, arbitrary, laughable, as it goes after Dr. Seuss and Huck Finn. . . for all the wrong reasons. Ethics turn arbitrary and are always changing in this asylum. Nobody is safe, not even the Governor of New York. How do we appreciate other cultures, and retain the unity introduced by the Gospel? Huckleberry Finn has served as a major apologetic for the Christian apostasy of the last 100 years, but I guess. . . not anymore.

Why Jesus is Arrested

Jesus is arrested for hate speech, technicalities, and misrepresentation. They said, "He said He would break down the temple and build it back in three days," or something to that effect. Paul's gatherings were unsafe. Too much sedition and definitely not enough social distance during the preaching. What happens in a post-Christian culture, with post-Christian judges, and post-Christian laws? Will we be arrested on technicalities? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus talk about Christians in jail in Canada and America today.

Is Ravi Zacharias in Heaven?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0500

We interact with a question from the listening audience, "Is Ravi Zacharias in heaven?" This initiates a conversation on judging. There are times at which the church is called to judge, and other times where it would be better not to judge. But, we are called not to be a "respecter of persons" when it comes to judging. By a biblical standard, some sins are more egregious in the sight of God than others. We fall into a trap when we go with the world's standard of judging—whether it be the sexual sins of Martin Luther King Jr., or those of Ravi Zacharias.

The Dirty Dozen

In this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Dirty Dozen List that was put out by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Tech companies have their priorities wrong, intent on destroying Christian voices, while facilitating the sexual exploitation of children. Jesus said that it would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. What should Christians do during this time? Should they boycott these companies? How can Christians protect their children and raise them in the fear of God?

Forcing Employers to Hire Christians

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0500

A Seventh-day Adventist goes to court and gets $50,000 from Frito Lay because he won’t work a Saturday. To force a private company to hire or fire somebody violates the 8th commandment. Now, homosexuals want similar treatment, and then this turns into real religious persecution of Seventh-day Adventist business owners, Christian churches, and colleges. Then, Kevin Swanson leaves the program with the bottom line. Nobody can exempt themselves from the grace of God to set the captives free from sin and sinful lifestyles.

The Western economy is the worst since 1709 (at least for the UK). The US economy is in free fall. But more importantly—the recent church scandals, including that of Falwell and Zacharias—are not to be minimized or shoved under the carpet.

The program looks at the career of Rush Limbaugh and his influence on the conservative movement of the last 35 years. He was the hope of a conservative, Christian America.

About 2/3 of the millennial generation have left the churches that their grandparents and parents attended here in the US. They don’t go to church anymore. And the exodus out of the faith continues. Was church just a boring tradition for them? What do we convey to our children when no church is good enough for us? Or what is a right relationship with church, church elders, worship, and the fellowship? More is caught than taught.

It was released in just 11 months in a rather extended fit of social panic. Etymologically speaking, this COVID-19 shot isn’t a vaccine. A better word for it would be a “GenPro”—a genetic programming for protein production and immune system response. But really, we wish the inventors would give God the glory, and demonstrate a modicum of the fear of God. How long does it take to really understand the long-term effects of a GenPro?

In a last ditch attempt to do the single thing governments are called to do, Attorney General William Barr actually obeyed God. It was the first time in 17 years for the US Federal Jurisprudence. However, the overall obedience to God ratio was only 0.1% for the US governments—a drop from 1.2% obedience ratio in 1996. Governments do a lot of things they're not supposed to do, and fail to do the one thing they are supposed to do.

Is government responsible for changing the environment, eliminating poverty and thereby “decreasing crime?” Or is government responsible for punishing murder?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Economically, militarily, and geopolitically the world balance of powers is shifting for the first time since World War II. Will the EU abandon the US? Alliances with China are on the rise. China was negligible as an economic force in 1980. The nation rides neck and neck with the US, and America is crumbling. The east is on the rise. The west is on the decline. That's obvious. But where are we now? Is it Trump vs. the whole world? We review the geopolitical situation and return to Psalm 2:9-11 and Revelation 19:15-16.

Most Admired Men of 2020

Americans named Donald Trump as the most admired man of 2020, but the next nine on the list were all leftists and liberals. Is Trump the last hero left for the right? But, what about the poor wise man who saved the city? Or what about those "of whom the world was not worthy?" God's heroes aren't the world's heroes.

All Advances in Medicine from Christians

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 01 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Why are all the meaningful advances in modern medical science attributed exclusively to Christians? You know their names. Alexander Fleming. James Young Simpson. Louis Pasteur. Charle Best. Cotton Mather. Edward Jenner. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, discoverer of the X Ray. Raymond Damadian, discoverer of the MRI machine. And what did the humanists bring to medical science in the later 20th century? The birth control pill. The humanists have killed billions. But Christians, the followers of the Great Physician from Galilee, have saved the lives of billions with the discoveries of anesthesia, insulin, vaccines, antibiotics, germ theory, and the Xray and the MRI.

Year of Fear. . . and Faith

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

It was a big year. The world economy took the biggest hit in 140 years. It was the biggest year of transitions in a century, the biggest year for socialism since the 1930s, the biggest year for anarchy on the streets, the biggest year for the American church, and the biggest year for disease in about a century. It was the year Babylon fell. It was the year of fear. . . but where was the fear of God? It was the year God shook the world. Here’s the Generations annual Year in Review.

Durable Trades, Family Economy

Everybody knows or should know the present economic situation is unsustainable. Zero interest prime rates. Debt to GDP’s of 400% plus. The Wilshire 5000 to GDP in excess of 1.85. The crack up is inevitable now. But, how does one make it through the economic hard boot? What is the stabilizing factor? Where are the durable trades that will stand the test of time? Kevin Swanson chats with Rory Groves, author of a new book representing key research into the durable trades and family-centered economies.

Were the Frontier Folk Poorly Educated?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

America became the strongest nation on earth, economically and politically, on the backs of one-room-school houses and homeschools. Then, the experts showed up. They centralized controls, incorporated compulsory attendance, and then ruined it. Fourteen year old girls would speak at a 16-grade level and put the present president of the United States to shame for their literary abilities. Big government-funded education and the elimination of the fear of God from public schools pretty much ruined education in the US.

While families enjoy Christmas all over America, a Christian continues serving time in a prison for his faith. Caught on a technicality while trying to help another Christian extricate herself from an ungodly relationship, Phillip Zodhiates is working on his third year in prison. Here is a bonafide persecution case taking place in the United States, but will the president of the United States pardon him? He pardons drug dealers, bank robbers, and others. Would he pardon a Christian?

As opposition to Christianity intensifies in Western nations, how do real Christians respond? How does the Apostle Peter and the others respond to the intense opposition on the part of the religious leaders in the Book of Acts? Dr. Erwin Lutzer, author of the new book “We Will Not Be Silenced,” describes the present antithesis and the proper Christian response to it. How do we resist amalgamation into the world’s ideas? How do we speak the truth in love? How does courage and faith demonstrate itself in the present situation?

Hollywood the Great is Fallen!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

The golden age of Hollywood is over. . . way over. The cultural powerhouse which led much of the revolution that destroyed the West is a mere shadow of what she used to be. The harlot on the beast has got a bad case of arthritis and dementia. In 1930, 80 million Americans attended the cinema weekly, and that fell to 24 million in 2019, down to almost nothing in 2020. The star system has collapsed. We provide a brief history of Hollywood as it took the lead in the sexual revolution of the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The worldview shifted from decadent to decayed and dystopian. Nobody is watching the movies favored by the Academy. It’s over. The Babylon of Revelation 18 always seems to topple, and heaven rejoices.

Socialist Liberals vs. Christian Roots

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

The socialists and liberals always pretend compassion, and they end up killing more people. The body count racks up when you look at what communists, socialists, eugenicists, and liberals have done to the world since 1900. After killing 4.5 billion people, liberals would get upset with conservatives who wish to implement the death penalty on a few hundred people. But, the root issue is that they don’t fear God, which would have been the beginning of wisdom. We contrast the modern state with the formation of the nation. Was America ever a Christian country? The answer is yes. . .until 1789.

Rise and Fall of Celebrity Pastors

Celebrity pastors seeking to be famous turn out to be infamous, and the pattern repeats itself over and over again. But pastors who follow in the bloody footsteps of the Master will be infamous in a different way. They would be infamous for the same reason that Jesus was infamous and dragged over to the cross. But what is the difference between celebrity pastors and shepherds who are totally accessible, always approachable, and generally throwing their lives away for the flock?

The Things that Divide Us

The nation is more divided than ever, but are the things that divide us of little substance? If the matters are the persecution of Christians and killing babies, then the divide must be as wide as the Grand Canyon. The nation is weakening and dividing. Internationalism, multiculturalism, anti-Christian sentiments, disillusionment with democracy and elections, and partisanship are chipping away at the integrity of America. Rifts are developing. Secession is discussed. Could decentralization protect a few liberties? Perhaps, but only the dismantling of socialist education would bring any meaningful protection of liberty.

The best thing governments can do to stop the despair deaths and recreational drug use is not to ban alcohol and drugs, but ban the teaching of evolution in the public schools. Also, governments could impose responsibility by removing government funding of medical care and other forms of welfare. We discuss the rising use of pot, and the legalization of drugs in the US.

Why Millennial Birth Rate Tipping to 1.0

America is hitting another baby bust during COVID-19. Beyond the typical self-centeredness and materialistic outlook, there is a dystopian view of the future that is dominating in the minds of the millennial generation now. The women had no more children, and the man lost reason and faith (and hope). But, do the covenant promises of God in Acts 2, and elsewhere, render hope and encouragement to Christian parents?

Grand Experiment with Evolution Fails

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

The proportion of high school teachers believing in creation has dropped from 9% to 4% since 2007. Meanwhile, a 40 year experiment in evolution has yielded a dead end. After 60,000 generations of E.coli, the E.coli has turned into. . .well . . . It’s still E.coli. Why would 96% of high school biology teachers believe in a fairy tale — a far-fetched hypothesis, no defined mechanism, no meaningful transitional forms in the fossil layers, and zero laboratory evidence in its favor? We spend a few minutes offering examples of irreducible complexity, and going over the impossibility of evolution even if this were a chance universe.

Passing the Faith Test

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

What is the Christian's relationship with worldly fame? What is the worldview behind the zeitgeist and the songs that are most applauded by Christians and non-Christians alike, as compared to the Christian's worldview? We compare two public interviews from popular media conducted with Pastor John MacArthur and one of the most popular Christian singers of the day, Lauren Daigel. At key moments, singers like Lauren Daigel and Carrie Underwood have been hesitant to take the Biblical position on the sins of the day. As we face faith tests, we must be willing to throw it all away--fame, popularity, careers, all of it--for the sake of Christ.

8 Christmas projects for your family

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

In the rush to get out the Christmas card and attend the Christmas productions, we can lose sight of special ways to draw the family closer to one another and to Jesus Christ, the Baby in Bethlehem.

Guest host Adam McManus suggests 8 Christmas projects for your family:

1. Make homemade cookies for the neighbors and pass them out with a note.

2. Go caroling with your family and pass out candy canes with the “Legend of the Candy Cane” attached which points them to Christ.

3. Throughout December, start an Advent wreath over dinner. Get the 3 purple candles and pink candle and the Advent wreath ring to hold them at Hobby Lobby or on Amazon. Use the Scriptures, prayers and songs in the Advent devotional guide by Dr. Mark Roberts.

4. Volunteer as a family to ring the silver bell in front of the Salvation Army’s red kettle outside of Walmart for 2 hours on a Saturday. Call your local Salvation Army office.

5. Purchase, wrap and deliver gifts to the children of their imprisoned father through Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree.

6. Bless your garbage man with pictures from your kids, a hand-written thank you note, and a $10 gift card to Subway or a $10 tip.

7. Make an inexpensive Christmas ornament for a parent or grandparent by gluing a 3-inch miniature Christmas tree to the roof of a Hot Wheel as if a family just bought their Christmas tree and put the red ribbon through the windows.

8. Invite your children to think of acts of service–like wash the car, shovel the driveway or give a hug–that they would write down on slips of paper and place in a Christmassy mini-cookie tin from Hobby Lobby.

If your family does any one of these by Monday, December 14th , email adam@theworldview.com and include your name, city and state, and your phone number. Adam could be calling you to interview one of your children to include a soundbite in an upcoming www.TheWorldview.com newscast.

Fatal Attraction or Fatal Compromise?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Do churches have to carve out a new category for SSA (Same Sex Attraction), as well as every other type of sexual attraction Same Sex Attraction. (Mrs. Jones Sex Attraction. Sibling Attraction, Animal Attraction. etc. etc.) and pretend that these heart-oriented attractions are sinless, autonomous, and neutral territory? We revisit the Dordt College discussion briefly, but spend most of the time analyzing the latest Christian Reformed Church report on homosexuality. What is the difference between temptation and “natural attraction?” Is it okay to have a heart that defaults on a desire for that which God has expressly forbidden? Must Christians be labeled as with these orientations, identities, or attractions? Why must we always use the psychological terms the world has come up with, instead of sticking with biblical truth and biblical categories? When the world gives us a label, now we have to live down to the label!

In a world where there is rising persecution towards Christian preaching and intense push-back from the ungodly, what is the best way to spread the Gospel? Jesus confronted the rich young ruler with the hardest thing for him to hear, but He didn't browbeat him. For the ungodly to be converted, it will take the working of the Holy Spirit in an individual's life. For men, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.

The Theology of Sickness

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

'Tis the season for sickness, so it behooves us to ask the question: What is God teaching us? What is the correct way to view trials? Certainly, sickness humbles us, reminding us once again of how dependent we are upon God. At the end of the day, though, we must have a vision of God, beholding His infinite wisdom and goodness in the midst of suffering, while having a wonderful opportunity to see the power of God at work in our weakness. We also take a look at the hospital occupancy rates over the last 30-40 years, comparing them to today's on this edition of the program.

American Faith Implodes — The Metastasis

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

The metastasis of faith downgrade in the United States occurred between 2011 and 2014. Barna Research recorded a precipitous drop-off of church attendance within just a few years, continuing well into 2020. For a hundred years plus, church attendance continued above forty percent until 2011. Within just nine years, 54% of the professing Christian population abandoned the church. Arguably, it was the worst per-year bloodletting for the Christian church in recorded history. What was the catalyst? What happened in 2012 to trigger the metastasis? It all started in New Mexico. . .

Pilgrims Thankful for 400 Years

The Greek word of thanksgiving is literally translated: “The giving of thanks for God’s grace.” We are constantly aware of being graced, we say grace, and we share grace. The Christian life is a three-way grace! We give thanks for 400 years of a tremendous heritage handed down to us by the Plymouth Pilgrims. Such a strong contrast between the slave-based economies and the family economy espoused by the Pilgrims! They experimented with socialism, and then settled on a free market economy early on. And they were strong on family discipleship. We are the next generation of Pilgrims.

The Puritans and Pilgrims were God-centered, covenantal, reformed Christians.

Alas, it is the colleges—Harvard College and other “Christian” colleges—that work hard to destroy the foundations of the nation.

Worst of all was the “Aryan paragraph” at the Evangelical Church’s annual synod meeting in 1933. How might the evangelical church today waffle on abortion, socialism, and Christian persecution today? While the Netherlands Protestant Church is finally apologizing for not taking a stand against the Nazi’s in 1939, we commend Corrie Ten Boom and Diet Eman for defending the Jews and paying the price for it.

The biggest takeaway from the election is the increasingly liberal bent for the whole country — even conservative states Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas, and Nebraska. The states moving liberal fastest are Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington State, Oregon, and Minnesota. The biggest contributor has been the white college educated crowd, the major victims of the zeitgeist for 20 years running.

How Computer Gaming Plays to Addiction

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 04 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0500

The worldwide entertainment industry has increased from $40 billion to $830 billion since 1970. But the big increases are going to be found in gambling, computer gaming, and porn. Why? Because companies take advantage of the most addictive forms of “entertaining themselves to death.” It was the first time in history in which technology and complex computer algothrims were used to purposefully create addictions. We explain how computer gaming is designed to maximize the possibility of addiction with your kids.

The West Has Fallen

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0500

On strictly GDP, the West fell in 2015. Forty years ago, the West controlled 100% of the 7 largest economies in the world. . . .now only 31%. Power has shifted east. Why the fear of COVID? Why the purposeful shutting down of economies, again? A great humbling is in the offing. The most devastating fall is still ahead of us. Are we ready?

Pastor John Piper isn’t voting for Donald Trump or Joe Biden for that matter, this election. But King Mannasseh repented. Can we say the same for Donald Trump? Is it appropriate to equate the sins of Joe Biden to the sins of Donald Trump when it comes to their political and personal lives? The principle remains the principle. Is there any fear of God here or there?

Halloween or Day of the Dead

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 09:20:00 -0400

Halloween has turned into a revival of the ancient Day of the Dead. Should Christians celebrate Halloween? What about All Saints Eve or “Reformation Day”? Or what about birthdays? Should Christians keep trees in their homes? Should they hang a pentagram in the living room? How much liberty is allowed the family jurisdiction, and where does the church go too far? Should the church celebrate Christmas or require the celebration of Christmas for others? These questions are taken up by thoughtful Christian families, and it is critical that we have consistently biblical answers, especially for our young adult children.

TRUMP CARD Movie Reveals Socialism’s Dangers

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza, TRUMP CARD is an exposé of the socialism, corruption and gangsterization that now defines the Democratic Party.

Whether it is the creeping socialism of Joe Biden or the overt socialism of Bernie Sanders, the film reveals what is unique about modern socialism, who is behind it, why it’s evil, and how we can work together with President Trump to stop it.

In this guest interview conducted by Adam McManus of Dinesh D’Souza, they discuss the key themes of the TRUMP CARD movie including identity politics, abortion, Hollywood, and the media. They also address religious freedom, the Deep State, socialism’s connection with radical Islam, as well as the socialism of Norway, Sweden, Cuba, and Venezuela.

You can stream the movie on-line for $4 or purchase it for $14.

The Pope, Chris Rice, and CCCU

These are extraordinary times for the Catholic Church and the Protestant Church, and the evangelical colleges. It is the death of the West. It is the death of the old institutionalized faith in the West, with the exception of a small remnant. The Pope has finally endorsed homosexual “families” and “civil unions.” The Council on Christian Colleges and Universities has endorsed persecution of Christians, while embracing homosexuality and a polytheistic, pluralist view of ethics. But the greatest horror of it all . . . is the lack of horror among the Christians left.

Coming into this next election, 61% of Americans are concerned about a second civil war. Americans are buying at a rate of 24,000,000 guns a year, up from 6,000,000 guns per year back in the early 2000s. Since many Christians are jumping on this band wagon, we need to ask the important question... What are the biblical standards for use of fire arms, if we were to draw from Nehemiah 4:14, 1 Samuel 26:9, and Exodus 22:2?

Calvin and Dordt Bite the Dust

Netherlands was the first apostate nation, and the most apostate nation in the Western world, giving in to Nero’s agenda as early as 2003. Now, Calvin College ranks as one of the most homosexual-friendly colleges, complete with a bi-sexual student body president. Dordt follows closely behind. Why are these colleges so extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than sending your children to a secular college? Does the Bible speak plainly towards these sins? Does the Bible also approve of every form of genocide and slavery? We take up the common atheist arguments against Christianity, taken up by speakers at Dordt College.

Abortion - Does the Bible Speak?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Almost half of Christians say the Bible is ambiguous on its teaching on abortion. Why didn’t Jesus speak on abortion or homosexuality? Was He pro-LGBT and pro-abortion? The Old Testament law is important to establish a biblical standard of ethics on abortion. But, some use Old Testament law unlawfully. They do not handle the law in the right way. How would we handle the law as Jesus did, or as the Apostles did in Acts 15 and Matthew 15?

Ligonier Ministries teamed up with LifeWay Research for the biennial “State of Theology” survey to examine the differences between everyday Americans and Evangelicals on their beliefs about God, truth, the Bible, and ethical issues. They spoke to a representative sample of 3,000 people.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Stephen Nichols, the President of Reformation Bible College and the Chief Academic Officer for Ligonier Ministries, as they examined statements like: “God accepts the worship of all religions including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam”, “Jesus was a great teacher, but He was not God”, “Everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature”, “Modern science disproves the Bible”, “Christians should be silent on issues of politics”, and “The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe.” Respondents indicated whether they strongly agree, somewhat agree, are not sure, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree.

Look at the key findings and at the 35 statements as a family and examine the Scriptures connected with each. The results reveal that Evangelicals desperately need to study God’s Word.

Netflix sexualizes 11-year-old girls in “Cuties” movie

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

On September 9 th , Netflix released a disturbing French film entitled “Cuties.” According to its original synopsis, Netflix said, “Amy, 11, became fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family’s traditions.”

CitizenGo rightly reminds concerned citizens that in the last year alone, Netflix glorified blasphemy through “The First Temptation of Christ” and sexual violence through “365 Days.” Now, they’ve reached a new low by sexualizing 11-year-old girls. One Christian leader said, “Every adult involved in the production, marketing, and distribution of this film should be registered as a sex offender.”

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Linda Harvey, Founder of MissionAmerica.com, who urges Christians to immediately drop their subscriptions to Netflix. Based on Ephesians 5:11, McManus asks you to urge your state’s Attorney General to prosecute Netflix for obscenity involving minors, to sign the Citizen Go petition to Netflix with 220,000 signatures now, and to protect your own children from exposure to the world’s dangerous messages.

The Girl Scouts rejected God and embraced moral relativism

Guest host Adam McManus talks with Patti Garibay, the founder of American Heritage Girls, a Christian version of the Girl Scouts. In this second installment of two conversations, Patti, a Girl Scouts parent volunteer, shares her outrage with the group for making the pledge to God optional, for advocating moral relativism, and for championing a disturbing weekend called “Sexuality & You” for 12 to 14-year- olds which celebrated gender confusion and sexual perversion antithetical to God’s design.

She empathized with Habakkuk, the prophet, who cried out, “How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But You do not listen! Must I forever see these evil deeds? Why must I watch all this misery?” (Habakkuk 1:2-3)

After trying to reform the Girl Scouts from within, she felt God calling her to found American Heritage Girls, a Christ-centered adventure program for girls (5-18) whose troops are hosted in 1,200 churches and have 56,000 members nationwide. It’s all chronicled in her book Why Curse the Darkness When You Can Light a Candle?

Margaret Sanger’s racist Planned Parenthood legacy

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Brandi Swindell, the Founder of the life-affirming Stanton Healthcare clinics in Boise, Idaho, Detroit, Michigan, Pasadena, California and Belfast, Northern Ireland, about her call for the Smithsonian to remove the bust of Margaret Sanger from the National Portrait Gallery.

Sanger founded Planned Parenthood with the expressed purpose of killing children of color whom she deemed to be “human weeds” and a “menace to the race”. Her eugenics worldview was conceived by evolutionist Charles Darwin and implemented through Hitler’s “Final Solution.” Sanger’s U.S. “Abortion Solution” has killed 62 million pre-born babies compared to Hitler’s 15 million victims. While Blacks only comprise 13 percent of the U.S. population, they have nearly 40 percent of all abortions.

That’s why GOP Congressman Russ Fulcher of Idaho sent a letter to Lonnie Bunch, the Director of the Smithsonian, urging him to remove the Sanger bust.

Call Linda St. Thomas at the Smithsonian at (202) 633-5188 and email stthomasl@si.edu and call Alexandria Fairchild at (202) 633-0282 and email fairchilda@si.edu. Or write: Director Lonnie Bunch, Smithsonian, PO Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013. And sign this petition.

COVID Tyranny Squashes Freedom of Religion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Guest host Adam McManus talked about COVID Tyranny over the churches with Daniel Schmid, Senior Litigation Attorney with Liberty Counsel. The Christian legal group filed lawsuits on behalf of churches in Florida, Illinois, Colorado, and California.

In Florida, Liberty Counsel defended Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne of the River at Tampa Bay Church who was arrested at his home on March 30th for daring to hold a church service on Sunday, March 29th. Listen to the outrageous remarks by Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister and the bold remarks of Pastor Howard-Browne following his arrest.

In Colorado, Democratic Attorney General Philip Weiser tried to shut down the Andrew Wommack Ministries conference on July 3rd. Ironically, Democratic Governor Jared Polis permitted thousands to gather in mass protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, but mandated that Christians could not gather in churches. Liberty Counsel Founder Mat Staver said, “There is neither a pandemic pause button to the Constitution nor an exception for religious gatherings.”

In Illinois, Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker’s overreaching executive COVID orders prompted Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on July 13th to dispatch police officers to shut down the parking lots and tow the cars of Christians attending Sunday services at Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church. Worse yet, they have been threatening to bulldoze churches which insist on meeting for in-person for services. After Liberty Counsel went to the Supreme Court asking for an injunction, Gov. Pritzker decided that his 10-person maximum restriction was indefensible.

And in California, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom issued a COVID order, shutting down in-person worship and home Bible studies. Plus, the City of Pasadena’s Chief Asst. City Prosecutor sent a threatening letter to Harvest Rock Church, stating, “Each day in violation is a separate violation and carries with it punishment up to one year in jail and a fine for each violation. … Your compliance with these Orders is not discretionary, but mandatory. Any violations in the future will subject you … to potential closures of your Church.”

His gutsy stand has been featured on Fox & Friends, the Todd Starnes Radio Show, and on ActivistMommy.com.

Pride Comes Before a Fall

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

The whole world is celebrating pride unlike any other time in human history. Pride has never been this celebrated, this virtuous, and this widespread. What kind of fall might come after this kind of pride? Could the final judgment of the nations be right around the corner now? The problem is the minimization of God and the maximization of man. . . and the consequences are dire. But, what is the antidote for those who wish to hide themselves in the day of God's judgment?

This program originally aired in 2019.

Evangelicals at the Crossroads

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

We have never had a President like Donald Trump. Some say he is our best president ever. Others say he is the absolute worst. Some look to him as a savior figure while others compare him to the antichrist.

Some say that, as Christians, we must support this pro-life, pro-Christian president. Others say that by standing with President Trump, we have destroyed our Christian witness.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Michael Brown, author of Evangelicals at the Crossroads: Will We Pass the Trump Test? Host of the daily, national syndicated talk radio show, The Line of Fire, and the author of more than 40 books, Dr. Brown is the president of FIRE School of Ministry and has served as a visiting or adjunct professor at seven leading seminaries.

They explore critical questions like “Does character still count and does morality still matter?”, “Did God uniquely raise up Donald Trump?”, and “Does a vote for Trump really hurt our witness?”

“Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” Exodus 18:21

Hurricane Laura Ravages Louisiana:

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Hurricane Laura, a category 4 storm, hit Louisiana on Tuesday, August 25th with 150-mph sustained winds and a 12 to 21-foot-tall storm surge leading to the deaths of 6 people and causing $30 billion worth of damage. 910,000 people lost electricity during the storm. For some, it may not come back on for months. Plus, there is no drinkable water available in hard-hit areas.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Todd Taylor, Manager of Samaritan’s Purse U.S. Disaster Relief on the ground in Louisiana. A team of 65 volunteers, equipped with 4 tractor trailers’ worth of supplies, are already removing downed trees, clearing debris, tarping roofs, mudding-out flooded homes and salvaging personal belongings. And they are doing it all in the name of Jesus Christ.

What is the nation’s greatest need? Barna Research reports that more than 90 percent of theologically conservative pastors agree that Scripture addresses all aspects of life. Yet, just 10 percent said they were willing to speak to issues like abortion, religious liberty, and sexual identity from the pulpit. Here is a call for faith — for pastors, and for all of us.

Yet, the disappointments concerning “evidence” in the fossil layers, the impossibility of abiogenesis, the complete lack of any possible mechanism for evolution. . . all these things continue to dog the heals of scientists.

Here is one last-ditch attempt on the part of a few Christian groups to salvage freedom of speech in a day of social media mobs, corporate hate speech policies, blacklisting, cancel culture, and campus speech policing. The Philadelphia Statement is hoping for a return to civility, intelligent debate, thoughtful exchanges, and the First Amendment. We’ll see. . . .

Some Christians question the wisdom of the stance, and others just plain think the pastor is in sin.

The Problem with Lincoln

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0400

When it comes to history, Christians have a duty to judge righteous judgments, and clearly identify the sins of both sides in conflicts. What were the sins of the North and the sins of the South in the Civil War? In American history, we find Abraham Lincoln failing to acknowledge Christ as his Savior, and refusing to be part of the church. Why the seances in the White House? Why did the Emancipation Proclamation fail to free the slaves? Why the massive increase in government under the Red Republicans and the Republican President? Could America have freed the slaves as many other countries did without entering into war? We discuss “The Problem with Lincoln” with Dr. Thomas Dilorenzo, author of the new book on the subject. The tyranny and the godlessness we are experiencing today has a great deal to do with tyranny and godlessness seeded in the 19th century.

When Woodrow Wilson’s name came down from Princeton’s Public School of Policy, it was a ironic and fitting ending to the man who himself undermined the foundations of America. Woodrow Wilson was arguably the worst president in American history - consulting witchcraft, conducting an affair, advocating a Darwinian Political State, pushing for racism hard, and introducing socialism to America. However, there is a real heritage still to defend and to honor this Fourth of July Weekend. We go over the real heritage, the good heritage, the God-honoring heritage of the nation. Also, in this segment of Generations, we reveal the secret behind the cover on “America In God’s Providence.”

Should You Wear the Mask?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 10:29:00 -0400

Twenty states (all blue) are mandating masks now for those going out in public. In some states — $5,000 fines for those who won’t comply. There are varying levels of compulsion involved in every state, when it comes to wearing the mask. So, what about Christians? How do we apply love, power, and a sound mind, when it comes to the wearing of the mask?

The Crying Need for Boldness & Faith

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 09:07:00 -0400

The BLM and CRT crowd, the Marxists, and others are shaming Christians, and not enough are standing boldly and speaking the truth, and then going to the stake for it. The silence from Christians is deafening, and many are joining the other side. In fact, the majority of evangelicals appear to be joining the other side, if you believe the stats from evangelical book sales. The silence, the fear, the concessions is appalling. Where is Leonard Ravenhill, Martin Lloyd-Jones, Martin Luther, and John Knox today? We need a Holy Spirit outpouring upon thousands of Christians -- to go. stand. and speak.

Is the US More Communist Than China?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 09:00:00 -0400

China’s private sector still takes over 60% of the GDP, and America has slipped to 48% this year. Does this mean that America has turned more communist - more big government than China? There is a difference — America’s socialism is kinder and gentler, sort of. Here we see again the fall of liberty and private charity in the Western world. Kevin Swanson walks quickly through the story of the rise and fall of western charity, with the rise of the Marxist state at the turn of the 20th century.

These are sins against God, violations of His holy law. How might we speak out against sin, but without favoring one sin over another?

A New Culture War Strategy

Christians are getting hammered by the US Supreme Court and the lower courts in this country. The Republicans are opposing Christian businesses, ministries, and churches. But what are the conservative Christian leaders saying now? Take the Benedict Option, some say. What about this? Ease off on the birth control. Have a ton of kids, and disciple them as you sit in your house. . . But what are the child to adult ratios in the PCUSA, the PCA, the OPC, and other churches? What is the birth rate?

The Statues are Crashing Down

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 09:00:00 -0400

George Washington has come down. Columbus is down. Andrew Jackson is toppling in Washington. The statues are falling all over the country. There are three issues to consider. First, we are concerned for the intensity of the revolution, the total rejection of a heritage, and the destructive nature of it. Then, we have the question of statues, with the very strong rooting in the man-worshiping humanism of the ancient Greeks and Romans. But then, what do we teach our children? Will they honor the heritage of George Washington, Patrick Henry, Andrew Jackson, John Winthrop, Augustine, Athanasius, and the rest of Christian history? What kind of curriculum will you give your children now? Will they be taught to honor a heritage in the post-Christian age, or the post-America age?

Why Music Divides the Church

How did music turn into something divisive, pivotal, and central in the worship of the modern church? Dan Lucarini is a former CCM Worship Leader, and he wrote a book called "Why I left the Modern Contemporary Christian Music Movement." Does Rock belong in the worship service? Does this form best convey reverence and fear of God in His worship? Or does this form focus on feelings, self, and personal experience?

Immunizations Using Aborted Fetal Tissue

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Over and over again, exemptions have been offered by legislative bodies in the US for homeschoolers and Christians who choose to avail the islands of freedom. We don’t have to teach our children homosexuality and humanist ethics in public schools. Now homeschoolers can opt out of immunizations using aborted fetal tissue lies, and avoid the more draconian rules. Christians can opt out of mandatory abortion and abortifacient funding included in the Obamacare provisions. Why not take advantage of these islands of freedom, which God has provided for those who would embrace liberty and His laws relating to killing babies. Praise God for His goodness, as the island of freedom grows year by year.

Could this be the worst US Supreme Court decision in all of history? It is blatant persecution of Christians. This ranks up there with Roe v. Wade and Lawrence v. Texas. These decisions legitimized people’s choices to perverted sexuality and murdering their own children. But now, the US Supreme Court has taken an additional step — officially approving the persecution of Christ’s followers.

A Substantive Faith

So much of the Christian church got stuck in cliches, minimalism in thinking, and third-tier denominational distinctives (misinterpreted as the essence of the faith). Is there a miscalculation as to what makes for the foundational and fundamental issues in orthodoxy? Here Dr. Jeff Myers from Summit Ministries, addresses his new book “Unquestioned Answers. . . .Rethinking 10 Christian Cliches to rediscover Biblical Truth.” Did cliches and minimalistic thinking displace Christian maturity and a substantive faith?

If the Christian faith will change the world, if we are to be salt and light, then how does this work? Most of Christianity in the West has given up on changing anything, or they have given up on God’s law as the standard. But then, how does our eschatological perspective play into all of this? Are we supposed to set out to change the world. . .or not? These are discouraging times for lots of Christians, but does that mean we must throw in the towel on the salt and light business?

Despite all the riots, the “police violence,” actually violent crime has dropped substantially since 1990. That may be because police and prison funding is triple what it was back then, numbers adjusted for inflation.

Will the church assembly be seen as a value to Christians, even if the governor of California refuses to praise them for doing that which is good?

When Christian musicians and others walk away from the faith, we don’t recognize the thing they are walking away from. A close examination of Christian musician, Jonathan Steingard’s testimony of apostasy from the faith finds that he wasn’t taught the Bible. The analysis is helpful to better understand the typical vacuous arguments held up against the faith. The problem of evil is not a problem for the biblical Christian, but it remains a problem for every atheist, every materialist, every eastern religionist, and every person who cannot believe in one, true and living, sovereign God over heaven and earth.

The New and Exciting, the Latest and Greatest, the Movements, the Youth-Driven Thing, the Exclusive New Cool Church — these things tend to fizzle fast. What is thought to be a reformation turns out to be another cultural revolution with devastating effects. It turns out what we really need is the Holy Spirit, long term discipleship, really unpopular preaching that doesn’t scratch ears, and real faith — nothing spectacular except God doing supernatural things in people’s lives over the long haul.

Forced Immunizations by “Military Force”

The president announced on Fox Business the government’s plans to mobilize the military with “tremendous force” to vaccinate the country. We discuss the history of the Posse Comitatus Act, and then study the matter of forced vaccinations from Supreme Court decisions in the past, from history and biblical principle. How might Christians seek an island of freedom, and is this worth pursuing as forced vaccinations appear to be an increasingly realistic scenario? Certain vaccines are bothersome to Christians, especially if they were made with aborted fetal tissue, or if there was a measurable risk of breaking the 6th commandment (as in harming the person being immunized).

Would God Ordain a 1984 Scenario?

Governments are concerned about your health records, your immunizations, your communications, etc., especially if you are going to cross state and national borders. Were George Orwell and Aldous Huxley right in their “prophetic” announcements of the Brave New World in 1984 or 2024? The national government's take of the GDP has risen from 0.3% to 25% in 100 years — ten times the involvement in our lives of what George Orwell experienced in the 1930s. Man’s relation with the state will only increase as his relationships in family, church, and community dissolves. This is the trend, and not much is slowing it down now. But, will God exempt His people from some of this? Will there be an island of freedom for us? Orwell forgot to include a sovereign God over all in his little story.

COVID 19 - Fact from Fiction

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

It’s hard to weed through all the fake science and the fake news, numerators without denominators, and the insatiable desire to create totalitarian governments. We sort through the fictions for the facts, among which is the real death rate for COVID-19, an estimated 7% drop on the Gross World Product, and most importantly, biblical law. You take away a man’s millstone, you take away his life.

They Warned Us Over 150 Years This Would Happen

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

The "prophets" are gone. They are dead now. The world did not listen to them. The last of them died in 2019. They warned of this. Why wouldn’t anybody listen to them? A few of us still remember them. George Orwell. A.A. Hodge. C.S. Lewis. T.S. Elliot. G.K. Chesterton. Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn. Francis Schaeffer. Gordon Clark. Herbert Schlossberg. It was a word in season — not inspired prophecy as in Isaiah and Jeremiah. But, why wouldn’t anybody listen? It turns out, they were right. Here we summarize the great wisdom of foregone generations of those who saw it coming, and they warned us.

Harvard Targets Homeschooling in US

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Harvard Law School is targeting homeschooling; more specifically, they are aggressively going after the last few Christians who do not subscribe to “democratic values” of transgenderism, abortion, totalitarian control of the family, and sexual perversion. Bottom line, there are Christians who don’t subscribe to the predominant civic religion of humanist statism. However, (on the good side), the propaganda piece in the Harvard Magazine is a good example of red herrings, appeal to fear, and other simplistic logical fallacies, for homeschoolers who are studying logic in this year's academic program.

The Right Response to COVID-19

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

As we grasp for the remnants of rationality in reference to constitutional and biblical standards relating to sphere jurisdiction, right response to disease, quarantining the healthy, essential vs. non-essential services, church congregating, and the rest of it, a few wise perspectives surface. Bottom line - bad worldviews Lead to bad decisions, poor governance, and poor reactions to problems. We draw from constitutional attorney, Mike Farris, pastor Steve Wilkins, and pastor Jason Young on this edition of the program.

We’re not seeing the fear of God before the eyes of Fox News or our political leaders these days. Where is reference to the wrath of God, the judgment of God, repentance, etc. This Covid-19 judgment is not some random, unlucky thing happening in a chance universe. One thing is plain. Death and disease is God’s judgment upon sin. There’s no getting around that fact. Romans 1 is pretty explicit. The wrath of God comes against all unrighteousness and ungodliness, and like it or not, homosexuality is included in the list.

Zoom is Not Church

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Although 97% of churches are moving towards Zoom and Streaming, let’s be clear on one thing. ZOOM IS NOT CHURCH. Listening to a John MacArthur sermon on the way to work on your I-phone is not church. It may be edifying, but it’s not church. Kevin Swanson carefully searches out the definition of church from 1 Corinthians 11:18-20, and it is clear that the church is that which “gathers together in one place.” The abandonment of church in modern age, and the increased electronic isolation is not a healthy sign.

US Pastors Arrested and Churches Shut Down

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Two pastors have been arrested for “unlawful assembly” during the present virus spread, and at least one of the pastors will be defended by the Liberty Counsel. Some Americans are still sort of sensitive over the religious liberty question, after those Pilgrims had a run-in with the magistrate 400 years ago. The argument is over “essential services” and the church jurisdiction. The question is legitimate and needs to be considered by rational, thoughtful churchgoers in every country around the world. Has the civil magistrate have given control over the church when it comes to these matters of assembly? Was it the priest or the judge who sequestered the lepers in Leviticus? Kevin Swanson outlines some of the key governing biblical principles that tie into the question, and challenges every pastor and elder board to make a judgment call on whether to assemble or not.

A Fix Worse Than the Problem

The problem was bad enough, but the fix was worse. Unemployment filings this week are highest in history. Things are heading towards a worse economic conditions than that faced during the Great Depression. The added debts produce another 14% on the Debt to GDP, putting America with Venezuela, Sudan, Greece, Eritrea, and Mozambique — among the ten most economically endebted and unstable nations in the world. This is a society that has killed 80 million babies, imploded its birth rate and spent their grandkids into $120 trillion of debts and unfunded liabilities. Somehow, something needs to put the brakes on the stealing, the dishonesty, and the greed that constitute this house of cards. At this point, the only advice for Christians is Matthew 16:25-26.

Why do churches in America have a hard integrating various skin colors and cultures; why can't they find their unity in Christ and His forgiveness of a wide variety of sins and sinners?

Discipling Children

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 09:00:00 -0400

We've seen an increase of governmental involvement in our lives over the last hundred years in this country. We discuss the case of a mom from South Carolina who faced child-abandonment charges and had her nine-year-old daughter taken away from her -- for allowing her to go to the park. The government uses cases like these to claim ownership of children, with the assumption that it does all things well. However, we beg to differ, and show how the only way to establish true jurisdictional boundaries is by basing our social, political, and ethical theories on the Word of God. We end on a positive note: There are still folks attempting to do this in the UK.

Why Manhood is Under All-out Assault

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Manhood is under all-out assault, but nobody is going after womanhood or certain cultural groups with this level of antipathy. What’s the deal? The commitment is to the unraveling of a society, and any remnants of manhood and fatherhood stands in the way of that. But, God is gracious to His people, and there are still islands of redemption left in a dying world. When it comes to masculinity, conservatives and liberals tend to get it wrong. The Bible doesn’t speak to machismo and aggression. The Bible speaks to categories like faith, work, sacrifice, watchfulness, prayer, headship, and responsibility.

Breach of Integrity

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Church leader after church leader falls. Mega-churches rise and rise, and fall and fall. That pretty much characterizes the last 15 years of Christendom. Kevin Swanson interviews investigative-reporter, Warren Cole Smith on the rise of the scandals, Chick-Fil-A’s funding of SPLC and other anti-Christian groups, etc. Is there a role for telling the truth and solid investigative reporting in this age where the breach of integrity is almost a daily event?

US Abortions: 8 Million a Year Now

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

American has become increasingly pro-abortion, especially over the last few years. US abortions now exceed 8 million a year, up from 4 million a year back in the 1990s, largely by the increase of the use of the IUD and Plan B. Why is America killing so many more babies after the pro-life movement has claimed so much success? The underlying worldview is one of autonomy and existentialist self-orientation, and it is infecting the churches as well. Kevin Swanson presents a resolution he recommends for churches and denominations across America and the world, relating to abortion and the use of the high-efficiency abortifacients.

The 7th Commandment Web Assault

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

These websites get 100 billion visits in a year! This assault is cripples men everywhere. It has corroded out entire civilizations. It has destroyed sexuality and family. The major Bad Websites / Bad Web Portals are about to edge out both Twitter and Instagram on web activity. Absorption into these bad outlets is doubling every 4-5 years. These websites are guilty of the most grotesque sexual crimes. We discuss the right response on the part of the civil magistrate on these criminal website operators. Then, we point out the only solution to this horrible problem — the One who treads out the winepress of the wrath of Almighty God, the Savior of the World.

Freedom of Speech Dissipating

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Switzerland is about to initiate persecution against Christians for the first time in history. Switzerland was a safe place for Christians during the reformation. Many fled to Geneva for protection from the tyrants of France and England, but no longer. Christians who hate sin, and speak against it, are up for 3 years in prison, and the same goes for almost all of Europe now except for the UK and Italy. Prosecuting emotions and emotional speech is risky business, and tyrants will go for it. But, the worst thing of all is the devolution of language itself, and the use of amorphous language to prosecute. . . well, just about everybody. We remember the Gulag Archipelago, and make another clarion call for freedom on this edition of the program.

The 92nd Academy Awards — A Fitting Swan Song

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

The Grammys this year was a bust. Pop music is over. The popularity of star-albums has dropped off by 99% since the days of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. Now, it's over for the Oscars too. Interest in the stars has dropped off 80-90% over the last ten years. The “best film” went to a South Korean-produced nihilistic film called “Parasite” — a fitting end to an old, tired, and decrepit Hollywood. The towers come down in the City of Man, but not so the kingdom of God.

The Creaking on the Stairs

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Some stories of redemption present a sharper picture, especially when we come upon the stories of torture and abuse. This story is especially powerful, as God’s redemption comes to a man who faced serious abuse as a little boy between his second and thirteenth year. The book is entitled, “The Creaking on the Stairs.” Author Mez McConnell is pastor of Niddrie Community Church near Edinburgh. Nothing can address the pain, the confusion, the injustices, and the sheer evil of a world of abuse like the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the doctrines of God’s holiness, His sovereignty, His judgment, and His propitiatory sacrifice of His only begotten Son. Here is a helpful testimony, and wisdom for how to minister to the abused in your families and churches.

Franklin Graham - Preach Anyway

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Franklin Graham and others are getting barred from using public facilities in the UK. The persecution against real Christians is heating up pretty good — not quite where it was in 1665, however. The true Gospel has always faced push back. Wherever Paul showed up, riots and revivals tended to happen. That’s what goes when we’ve got a message that is turning the world upside down. What should Franklin Graham say? What would Jesus say to Liverpool? Pretty much what He said in Matthew 15 and Matthew 23, and John 8, and. . .

We look at the trends worldwide as well, with the UK turning more pro-abortion and anti-spanking (anti-Christian). Kevin Swanson discusses the interesting phenomenon of a massive increase in the number of professing Christians worldwide since 1900, yet, the Christian worldview bears far less impact on the institutions.

The Super Bowl Exploiting Women

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Why in the world must the Super Bowl exploit women? And what in the world does the bathing suit edition have to do with Sports Illustrated? The Super Bowl remains the biggest national cultural event of the year — 103,000,000 people watched it. We note the impossible contradiction of “feminists in bikinis.” Sex appeal and sexual domination don’t both work in the Super Bowl half time show. Professional sports in America doesn’t do Christian men much good, especially when there is real life to live and real battles to wage. But, how do Christians have fun? What is the sort of rejoicing that Christians find most rewarding? Always coram deo.

You Who? Self-Image Self-Defined

So this is what it looks like when an ugly little philosopher named Jean Paul Sartre dominates the culture and permeates the thinking of the masses? Hardly anybody has escaped the influence of existentialism in thinking, language, lifestyle, and relationships. Isolation is everywhere. Suicides are way up. Drug use is orders of magnitude beyond what it used to be. Anorexia, body image problems, insecurity, snowflake-ism prevail. . . Never has man been so consumed with self, and never so distressed about it. However, praise be to God, the truth shall make you free! This interview may not make you feel awesome about yourself, but maybe it will make you consider God awesome, and the rest will fall into place. Author Rachel Jankovic brings heavy theological ideas down to where the rubber hits the road — daily life.

Where Parental Authority Comes From

In a recent survey, Americans register the most concerning element of the family is the failure of parental discipline and teaching. The problem is found in the generally-accepted post-modern worldview, the common zeitgeist of relativism. Relativist parents make for bad, inconsistent, flip-flopping parenting. Where does authority come from, and what defines right and wrong? Basic theological commitments matter. We also discuss the relationship of Gospel and Law in parenting.

A former homosexual shares incredible testimony

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 11:17:00 -0500

Guest host Adam McManus chats with Becket Cook, a former homosexual, about his life story encapsulated in his book entitled “A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption.”

Brett McCracken, of the Gospel Coalition, wrote, “Ten years ago, Becket Cook was a [homosexual] man in Hollywood who had achieved great success as a set designer in the fashion industry. He worked with stars and supermodels, from Natalie Portman to Claudia Schiffer, traveling the world to design photo shoots for the likes of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. He attended award shows and parties at the homes of Paris Hilton and Prince. He spent summers swimming in Drew Barrymore’s pool. A decade later, Cook has moved on from that life—and he doesn’t miss it.

“What changed for Cook? He met Jesus. On a momentous day in September 2009, while drinking coffee with a friend at Intelligentsia in L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood. Cook started chatting with a group of young people sitting at a nearby table—physical Bibles opened in front of them. They were from a church called Reality L.A.”

Listen to the incredible testimony of how God saved Becket’s soul and empowered him to walk away from homosexuality. Plus, learn about whether there is such a thing as a “homosexual Christian”, why homosexuals really march in “pride” parades, and how you can reach out to the homosexuals in your life with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

A graduate of Talbot School of Theology, Becket speaks around the country on the importance of churches and Christians addressing this inescapable cultural issue from a Biblical perspective. You can book him at becket@becketcook.com.

Our religious liberty is under attack

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Guest host Adam McManus chats with Brad Dacus, President of the Pacific Justice Institute, a non-profit Christian legal defense organization, about three recent religious liberty cases.

Pastor Afshin Yaghtin, who objected to a Drag Queen Story Hour which took place in a Spokane, Washington public library, was arrested for merely walking into the venue with his Bible. When the police officer saw his Bible and asked the pastor whether he agreed or disagreed with the drag queens, Pastor Yaghtin explained that he disagreed with them. At that point, he was put in the back of a police car for three HOURS, brought to the jail and booked on creating a disturbance.

Secondly, Dacus will discuss the case of a teenage girl who selected the Christmas hymn “Joy to the World” to play on the piano at a charter school-sponsored Christmas recital at a nursing home. The school prohibited her from doing so, claiming that it would imply their endorsement of a Christian message.

And thirdly, Dacus will cite the case of a public school telling a piano teacher, whose piano manual included “Amazing Grace” and “When the Saints Come Marching In”, that she would have to either cover up those two hymns or rip the pages out altogether.

Finally, Brad Dacus expresses his support for President Trump’s January 16th announcement through the Department of Education in which he affirmed the right of students to pray. President Trump said, “Our Founders understood that no right is more fundamental to a peaceful, prosperous, and virtuous society than the right to follow one’s religious convictions.” And he expressed his delight that President Trump has appointed 187 consitutionalists in the judicial system -- including Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Like 9/11 changed America, Hurricane Dorian changed the Bahamas

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Guest host Adam McManus talks with Kevin Swanson and Pastor Norris Bain of Tabernacle Baptist Church in the Bahamas about the week-long effort that the Generations team of 12 volunteers are a part of as they replace dry wall and patch the roofs of Freeport Gospel Chapel and Tabernacle Baptist. Pastor Bain said, "Like 9/11 changed the United States forever, Hurricane Dorian changed the Bahamas forever." Their church, located 15 miles inland from the Atlantic coast, was soaked by 5 feet of water, requiring that they gut everything, replace all the electrical outlets, drywall, furniture, and computers. The damage will cost $250,000. Plus, the hurricane dropped five 40-foot-long boats in their neighborhood.

Thanks to the funding of 150,000 pounds of dry wall and roofing materials from Generations listeners and the volunteer labor of Kevin’s team, the Bahamian church is receiving desperately needed help. Pastor Bain said, "A thousand tongues could not say thank you enough to Generations for what they are doing here on the island of Grand Bahama. There is not enough paper for us to write ‘thank you’ to this ministry for what they have done and how they are impacting our church. It’s just unbelievable! We are forever grateful."

Kevin said, "Everyone on our team would say this is one of the best experiences of our lives. If you are looking for a nation in crisis, if you’re looking for a church that needs help, this would be one of the best opportunities in a lifetime!" If you can find a roofing expert or general contractor and a dry wall expert, and want to put a team of 6-12 people together from your church or family who will work 8 hours a day for a week or so, email host@generations.org. The local church will provide the transportation, housing, and meals during your stay. The cost of a plane ticket from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to the Bahamas, 60 miles off shore, is $250. Come during the months of January, February and March before the temperatures become prohibitively hot.

Plus, if you can’t take time to volunteer to rebuild Bahamian churches, then help us raise $100,000 by February 28th to pay for tax-free building supplies at wholesale cost on-line at www.generations.org/give. Select "Support International Outreach Ministry" in the drop-down window.

She shares the keys to personal revival. They include meditative time in the Word of God, reading Christian biographies, choosing forgiveness and gratitude, and a willingness to be a mentor to the younger and a student who listens to the wiser. If more Christians would implement those disciplines, we would see revival catch fire in our families, cities, and the nation.

Will Evangelicalism Split on Trump?

A battle is heating up. Will 2020 be a year that evangelicals split apart on the right things or the wrong things? Will evangelicalism split down the middle on Donald Trump and Immigration policy? Or will evangelicalism split right down the middle on things like the Definition of Sin, the Law of God, the Power of the Gospel to transform lives and to provide a new identity and a new orientation in Christ? Thoughtful Christians will want to be careful not to split apart the body on the gnats, on questionable issues, or on third-level applications.

US Economy - Biggest House of Cards Ever

Reuters calls the 2010s the DECADE OF DEBT. American corporations have become the paradigm of greed, dishonesty, unprecedented debt, and the quick buck. All caution was thrown out the window ten years ago. While the federal government was running trillion dollar deficits, corporate America was running up annual trillion dollar deficits too. But, they weren’t spending it on equipment and development. They were spending it on fake dividends and buying their own stock — 60% of the deficits! At the same time the S&P Price to Earnings ratio was bumping into the mid-20s. Not Good. Not Good. Not Good. But, what are the real heart problems with America?

Imposing Salvation by the State

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 27 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The left is more interested in imposing salvation by the state with ineffectual crusades and do-gooder agendas. Their imposed salvations become more tyranny, more taxation, and more frustration and futility for all. They miscalculate badly concerning the nature of man and the purpose of civil government. We point to the guy who was sentenced 15 years for blaspheming the god of homosexuality, and burning an $8.00 flag. Of course, it’s taxpayers who will carry the bill of $450,000 for room and board for this guy. The taxpayers have pretty much earned it. They elect their leaders. But, the root of it all — a really bad worldview.

CT Says Remove the President

Twenty years ago, Christianity Today Magazine had claimed that President Clinton was “morally unable” to lead the nation. Now, the same magazine claims consistency in recommending the removal of President Trump on moral grounds. Are 82% of evangelicals being hypocritical with their approval of Donald Trump over Bill Clinton? Evangelicalism is splitting down the center, and this provides an interesting manifestation of the divide. We carefully analyze the grounds of Christianity Today’s argument on this edition of the program. In the scheme of things, is there all that much difference between President Trump and President Clinton? More fundamentally — is there much of a commitment to God’s law on personal and institutional levels among evangelicals? Where will true reformation come to a nation? Will it happen in Washington DC, or in the grass roots of a nation?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 25 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

While there has been some interest in the German Reformation of 1517, there has not been much said of the Swiss Reformation, which got its start in 1519. It was the Swiss Reformation that had the most influence on France, Scotland, England, and America — more so than the German. One simple practice marked this great reformation. Could something similar happen in churches today?

The first indications of decentralization of power back to the states have come through the US Supreme Court. Kevin Swanson provides insight into what the end of empires have looked like throughout history, all of which provides hope for freedom and Christian influence once more.

Hope in God Beats Hope in Man

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

It’s the richest nation in the world, but with the most broken-down families in the world. America is falling down. When man’s hopes are put in man, inevitably he will wind up over the line of despair. Life expectancy has dropped off since 2011, all attributed to what is known as "despair deaths." We point to Psalms 42, 77, and 143 as the great need for the day.

Hallmark Makes Everyone Mad

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

Hallmark Channel (and Chick Fil-A) have managed to make everybody mad, when pulled in to the homosexual morass. Why must they give in to the homosexual community, which makes up only 2% of the population vs. the 50% of heartland America that is watching their channel? But, then we turn to the more basic question. Shall we watch Hallmark movies at all? What’s the worldview behind the "redemption by being kind to one another" story? We also caution about romantic lust. The only kind of lust is not homosexual lust. What about the lust or discontentment that arises while binging on Hallmark Romance Movies?

Seismic Political Shifts

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

Seismic political shifts are happening in the two most powerful nations in the world (in earlier centuries). The UK and the US are seeing the biggest political moves of the 21st century — indicating shifts towards nationalism or just de-centrism. The media is contributing to the serious cracking up of national unity, but what is it that is bringing about the loss of national unity? What is the exact problem with the President that creates such polarization and hatred? What do people hate about President Donald Trump? And Who is breaking up the United States?

Living All of Life for Christ

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

What would it look like if America had a revival of reformational proportions? The English reformation shook the world, and produced a special piety — a down-to-earth, all-of-life commitment to Christ. Lives were transformed and so were entire institutions. Could this happen again? Dr. Joel Beeke shares on his expertise with this most amazing reformation of Christian life. What would it look like today? Would the Puritans watch movies, smoke big cigars, and theologize all day long? Or, would they mortify sin, cultivate godly marriages, love God, fear God, and transform institutions to glory of God?

Family Brokenness -- Where Healing Begins

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 09:43:00 -0500

The Institute for the Family discovers in a recent study that the incidence of premarital sexuality among evangelicals is almost exactly the same as that of Catholics. Is the evangelical family as the same lowest denominator as what is found among Catholics? Does the evangelical doctrine provide for any real substantial faith, or does it all sink to about the same level? Perhaps it is time to discover the Gospel — a message concerning our true brokenness, sin, and redemption.

Greta Thunberg—The Prophetess of This Age

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

Time Magazine’s Person of the Year—she is a phenomenon. But more than that, Greta Thunberg is the ultimate iconic picture of the death of the west. On the one hand, here is a little one who needs the Lord, a Savior, badly. Finland’s new prime minister is also the very incarnation of a lost generation. She is a 34-year-old daughter of a lesbian. But, our attention turns to the church. It is interesting that there is still a vast difference between Liberals and Conservatives, especially smaller evangelical churches, when it comes to women and children leading.

Christian College Fatal Compromise

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

It's a Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego moment for the Christian colleges in America associated with the CCCU. The evangelical and CCCU support of the "Fairness for All Except for Jack Phillips" bill in Congress is the most disappointing, treacherous, embarrassing, and fruitless concession to the homosexual zeitgeist ever seen in Christian history. Here is a clarion call to the Christian colleges to get out of this fatally compromised institution. Here is a call to Christian families and churches to tell the Christian colleges to get out of the CCCU, and give up on its accreditation, now.

Nothing Burger Conservatism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 09:53:00 -0500

Some conservatism that masquerades as the opposite of liberalism is just as dangerous as liberalism. Modern media sets individual autonomy against corporate humanist autonomy, and both of them are equally bad. Milo Yiannapolois is an excellent representative of this paradigm. CPAC and Breitbart act out their horror with pedophilia while they are just fine with homosexuality. The hypocrisy drips. We look at Fox News and how these “conservatives” are AWOL when it comes to the major battles in the war of the worldview (eg. Evolution, Homosexuality, and Feminism).

Who said Carbon Dioxide is bad for the world? Who said global warming was bad? And, what is the truth value of the statement — “global warming is human caused?” When scientists have abandoned humility and the fear of God, the conclusions drawn have little to do with real science, real data, and honest interpretation of the data. Kevin Swanson interviews Gregory Wrightstone, author of “The Inconvenient Facts — The Science that Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know.”

The Most Religious vs. Least Religious Candidate in 2020 Elections

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The most religious candidate in the 2020 elections is turning out to be Mayor Pete Buttigieg — who also happens to be the homosexual candidate. Buttigieg is in top running in Iowa and New Hampshire right now, and could be the Democrat choice for president. Why are Democrats like Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Barack Obama so much more familiar with the Bible, and likely to quote the Bible? In fact, quotations from the Bible are much more common among these candidates than they were from presidents serving in the 1830s and 1840s. Whence all this religious talk? What is this religion that finds a few proof texts here and there in the Bible? And, why do they feel so inclined to use the Bible?

Ten Steps Before Drugging Your Boy

Drugging associated with The American Boy Disease (ADHD) has doubled in just 5 years, and the diagnosing of ADHD has increased 7 fold since 1997. This may be the most dramatic social development in 20 years. Kevin Swanson gives a list of ten things parents can do for boys, before resorting to drugs.

Should Christians Approve of Sin?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

A substitute teacher in Utah was hurried off school property when she made the “mistake” of telling the class that homosexuality was a sin. The leader of the Southern Baptists encourages us to be “nice” and capitulate to using preferred pronouns. But, would Jesus use a preferred pronoun for one attempting to change their God-given gender? Would He give credence to a lie? Will Christians be willing to lose their jobs over this sort of thing? Or, will they fold like a cheap suit?

America’s Third Impeachment

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 05 Dec 2019 11:38:00 -0500

A historic moment approaches as America’s third impeachment trial appears on the horizon. Although Nixon’s impeachment never made the house, we analyze the moral implications involved with the Clinton, Nixon, Andrew Johnson, and Trump’s impeachment investigations/trials. What does God’s law instruct us on these things? Then, Kevin Swanson asks the more fundamental question. What in the world are we doing funding Ukraine with $391 million in its war against Russia? George Washington would be horrified.

Fantasy Role Playing Games

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

Frozen II is seen by Christian movie reviewers as more dangerous and more self-consciously pagan than the first installment of the franchise. Elsa’s magic abilities are sourced in nature-centric paganism, the four elemental spirits, each of which is given its own totem. What is the resurgence of interest in the occult, the secretive, and the weird among Christians? Is it time to burn our books, movies, and other paraphernalia as they did in Acts 19:18-19? We take a look at the rising popularity of Fantasy Role Playing Games on this edition of the program.

Chick Fil-A Controversy Rages On

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 02 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The Chick Fil-A controversy rages on with various Christian leaders taking different positions on Chick-Fil-A’s backing away from the Salvation Army and throwing support behind the pro-homosexual, pro-abortion Covenant House Ministry. But, Kevin Swanson asks a more fundamental question here. Must we fracture over who supports this or that business? And, why are businesses so heavily politicized today, especially when it comes to the homosexual borg? What is the urgency to support or not support the homosexual agenda? What has happened to our world?

Crusades Against Human Trafficking

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The modern world has brought back child prostitution, homosexuality, and child killing — old pagan habits which dominated in the most depraved cultures before Christ came into the world. Shall Christians engage campaigns to go after human trafficking, infanticide, and homosexuality, when they ignore their own sins (and will not address the matter of fulfilling their own obedience per 2 Corinthians 10)? Kevin Swanson asks the question, “How can you avenge disobedience, when 80% of the men in your congregation are hitting the porn sites. . . and providing a market for the human trafficking business?” Kevin Swanson talks to whether political or educational campaigns are effective when it comes to the social evils of the day.

One revival that shook the whole world more than any other came in Scotland in the 1820s. No other revival spurred on a larger worldwide missionary movement like this one. The waves hit Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South America with a force that is still being felt to this day. What are the precursors to such revivals? Could this world still see Holy Spirit fire like this again? Kevin Swanson discusses this great event in missionary and church history with Dr. George Grant.

Did Chick-fil-A Give Way Before the Wicked?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes have been battered badly by the left-wing media. They are at the center of the attack, and Chick-Fil-A has made a public announcement that they will back away from supporting them. Where are the voices defending the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes? Chick-fil-A insists that they will support Faith-based charities, but why not Gospel-based charities that still hold that homosexuality is a sin, and we all need to be saved from these sins by the grace of Christ? Kevin Swanson draws Adam McManus and Bill Jack into this discussion. “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.”

The breakdown of the father-son relationship is the root of just about every social and spiritual issue relating to the family, church, and state today. Family, faith, and freedom break down when fathers break down. The greatest reformation of our time would be known by a realignment of the hearts of the fathers to the sons, discipleship at the most basic level. Here is an introduction to what that discipleship would look like, from Malachi Man -- Richard Snyder.

America has great foundations, but these foundations are being jack-hammered out from under us. There is a concerted effort to destroy the heritage of a nation and open it up for revolution, tyranny, and ultimate destruction. This is the essence of the Marxist agenda. We go back into the foundations and find two influences that were battling out for the soul of America in the 1770s. How did the French Revolution differ from the American War for Independence? How does a Christian family get to the accurate accounts of the history of the nation?

Some have a hard time believing that God could have saved Jeffrey Dahmer. What can we say for Kanye West? On the one hand, nobody wants to be the elder son in Jesus’s story who can’t seem to bring himself to dance with the rest of the family on the return of the Prodigal. But mostly, we must never, never depreciate the power of the grace of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The 2019 elections produce losses for Republicans in Virginia and Kentucky. Both Wisconsin and Kentucky remain razor thin swing states, and abortion is the dividing issue. Two things are happening. America is in decline — twice as many Republicans are in favor of homosexual marriage as were in 2009. And, America is a house divided against itself. The polarization gap has grown from 27% to 86% (Republican to Democrat on presidential approval). It could hardly be worse.

Columbus Day — Should You Celebrate?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Should we honor the idolatrous ways of the Aztecs and Mayans, the human sacrifices that went on with those natives on the American plains? Should we gather around Mount Ararat to celebrate indigenous persons day? Or, do we honor Christopher Columbus? The tendency is to throw the whole Christian influence of the last 2000 years out with the bathwater. Revolutionary generations consider themselves “innocent of all,” yet they are not washed from their own sins. Revolutionary generations are dangerous. Be careful with those who throw all Christian influence out the window. When we honor a person or a particular event, we need to ask ourselves. . . specifically, what are we honoring?

Stronger Relationships Through Conflict

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Here are ten things families fight over. The bathroom. Food. Money. Music. Who is to blame for forgetting this or breaking that thing? We cover the most common conflicts that occur in the home, and dig for root cause. Then, we discuss the best ways to handle conflict, and how Christ brings that blessed unity and peace in our homes.

The Great Heritage of Matthew Henry

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 09:11:00 -0400

The peak influence of the church in the western world occurred during the Puritan era, and Matthew Henry represents the great impact of this movement upon the world. Daniel Pugh is the director of a new documentary film on the life and times of Matthew Henry. The tremendous persecution of these puritans and the powerful effect of family discipleship is seen with an influence that has reached the whole world over the last 300 years. This program includes:

Why Communists Don’t Like Homeschooling

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Christian homeschool parents are in prison in Cuba. More Christian parents and pastors are in trouble in China for attempting to give them a Christian education. We make the point that this is the core spiritual battle going on in the Christian world today. The tug-of-war is over our children. The pressures in America are different than China, but just about as strong.

How to Redeem the Blue Cities

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Is it poverty and unemployment that makes cities a rotten, miserable place? Do we blame it on the poor? Or, is it the fact that people are breaking the commandments of God? The worst cities and most immoral cities in the country are San Francisco, Washington DC, Detroit, and Gary Indiana? We point to abortion, welfare, sexual sin, and the like as the causes for destroying cities — which usually results in drug problems, poverty, and unemployment.

US Justice Without Consequences

How does a criminal get arrested 40 to 50 times, and turn out to be the most prolific serial killer in US history? Where was justice thirty years before he murdered all those people? Why does the modern world avoid justice, spanking, and consequences? What’s the worldview here? The message is clear. If there are no consequences here on earth, maybe, just maybe there won’t be any consequences on judgment day.

The Joker Tells a Bad Joke

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

“The Joker” is the most popular movie in the country now. The move from sheer evil to a self-conscious ethical relativism happens quickly in these franchise serials. We review the Joker’s transition in worldview from tragedy to comedy, and then move to the director’s move towards complete metaphysical relativism. We also note that so far this year movies retaining a biblical worldview captured 0.6% of box office receipts. Pretty slim over all.

Communist Cuba Seizes the Kids

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Christian families are getting persecuted badly in Cuba. Here is a first hand report of Christian parents in prisons and work camps in Cuba for attempting to pull their kids out of public schools and homeschooling them. As with all communists and socialists, Christians are persecuted for keeping their kids out of the public schools and giving them a discipleship in the Lord.

Unsinkable and Immortal by 2045

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

In the year 2011, Time Magazine featured a front page article touting man’s overweening scientific optimism with these words: "Immortal by 2045." Three years later, the life expectancy of Americans dropped (for the first time in 150 years). "The boat is unsinkable, I tell you!" Man is still hoping that world unity will come by technology, prosperity will come by technology, and salvation will be ours through technology. The Federal Reserve cannot save you either. Afraid of the monster of all recessions, the Federal Reserve is lowering the prime with very little cushion left. 5.25 percent isn’t enough to save us from the next recession of all recessions. Only God can save us now. The lesson is theological and religious - always. Where is your faith?

Evangelicals More Socialist than Pro-Life

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Lifeway reports that evangelicals are more committed to socialism, shutting down immigration, and healthcare than they are to the pro-life position. We conclude that this has everything to do with their media choices. Evangelicals are 80% influenced by the left-wing media, and very little influenced by pastors and Christian news sources. The majority of professing Christians do not care about what the Bible really says. But, they seem to care what Huffington Post, NBC, and CNN says.

I-Phone for Your Twelve Year Old?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

The life of Cain and the loss of relationship in the modern world has been completed, finally. Fully 95% of teens have a smartphone, and twice as many are “constantly on it” as were four years ago. The average of age of kids getting into porn is now 11 years of age. Will parents get their kids away from peers now, or just let them wander into the wilderness East of Eden at 11 years of age? Parents will either homeschool their kids or increasingly lose them to the this out-of-control post-modern medium. There is no other meaningful solution. Kevin Swanson provides eight rules he would use for controlling media in the home, if he was raising 6-7-8-9-10 year olds today.

The Impeachment of Trump

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

How much should Christians respond to these long and drawn out scandals, and the food fights between Fox News and CNN? When smoke bombs are going off in the post office, Christians know for sure that somebody is robbing the bank. What is the other scandal going on? What are the new organizations missing? We take a look at the real scandal of communism and abortion. We summarize the three most evil rulers over the last 70 years and how American apostates trained them for what they did. . . Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, and Robert Mugabe.

The gender role blender is now blended into the gender blender one more time. Now male athletes must be able play on female sports teams, because males and females and males who want to be females and females who want to be males are all to be treated equally on the same team. . . ? Should Christians be pulled into these quandaries? Are we forced to the same definitions, the same terms, and the same worldview as the rest of the world? Kevin Swanson explains a biblical way of looking at “equality,” “sexual identity,” “same sex attraction,” “sexual orientation,” etc.

De-civilization by Negative Interest Rates

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Europe and Asia have rushed into bonds yielding negative interest rates — some $13 trillion of these bonds. 55% of the world economy is moving towards negative interest rates. We’ve never been this far down the Keynesian road before. We examine the life and record of John Maynard Keynes, the man behind the $22 trillion of US federal debt, and the rest of it in Europe and Japan. Then, we recommend that Christians defend the islands of freedom, islands of culture, and islands of economy.

When Does Life Begin?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Peter Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend and would-be president, believes the Bible allows for abortion until a baby takes his first breath. You’ve heard the phrase, “This is something we can all interpret differently.” The Bible becomes silly putty in the hands of men who twist it to their own destruction. We draw in 2 Peter to the present apostasy, again. And, we point out that the Bible distinguishes between the creation of Adam and the birth of a child.

It is a monumental time in human history as we witness the collapse of the greatest star system in human history. Television stars have barely half the importance they had 4 years ago. Popular music system is 1/10 the size of what it was in 1999. Hollywood is 1/2 the size of what it was in national influence. The Academy of Emmys was an embarrassment this year even with popular media. The great and proud empire of man has come down again. The world passes away with its lusts, but what do Christians do?

Overcomer, The Movie

Christian-produced film is coming into its own after a decade of work. The Kendrick brothers put the genre on the map with films like Fireproof and Courageous. Even Rotten Tomatoes had to reluctantly give their latest production, “Overcomer,” a 50% positive rating, along with the 98% audience approval rating. Why was this movie so engaging and so powerful on the audiences? Why is the world incapable of presenting a film with any sense of goodness, grace, light, power, encouragement, reconciliation and true victory over evil? We interview Stephen Kendrick on their latest film “Overcomer.”

Nero Turning the Hero

He has his own coffee shops now. . . 825 of them in Europe. Nero is turning into the "good guy" in history. When worldviews shift, the good guys turn into the bad guys, and the bad guys turn into the good guys. Is that what is happening with Nero, the arch-tyrant of history? National Geographic suggests that this may be the case. Kevin Swanson speaks of Nero's legacy, as well as what this could portend for the post-Christian West. Should Christians stay engaged in politics? We still think so. And so do 49% of Americans, according to a recent survey.

The Fall of an American Icon

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 09:00:00 -0400

The rapidity with which the Boy Scouts have come down after welcoming homosexuality and gender fluidity is breathtaking. The period of time between the celebration of a sin and the manifestation of the destructive effects of the sin has decreased significantly in just the last ten years. The Washington Post is concerned, and the conservative world critiques. But, why doesn’t the world talk about real solutions? There isn’t any sense in cursing the darkness, unless we are willing to start lighting candles. We light candles on this program.

The Pope Switches Religions

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 09:00:00 -0400

We were surprised to read that the pope had switched religions. He has come out and confessed him to be a new humanist, advocating an education that puts man in the center, instead of God. He is calling for an internationalized education, quoting Hillary Clinton’s “It takes a village to raise a child.” Humanism has crept in and dominated education over 800 years, but now humanism has become the codified religion in the minds of Catholics and Protestants. However, we call for a reformation in education — placing God at the center, and Christ preeminent.

Why must EVERY Christian star who wants to make it in the big time, from Carrie Underwood to Lauren Daigle, make proper prostrations to the gods of homosexuality? Why must they pass muster on the Ellen Degeneres show? Daigle is the biggest Christian (female) star of the last twenty years—but will she stand up for Jesus Christ as Lord? Why must we shift to pronouns when we speak of the Lord in popular songs, while in the limelight of the world? Followers of Christ must be infamous. . . not famous in the eyes of the world. They must convict the world of sin, as Jesus did.

The last thing you want to do is split your church or support group over debates on essential oils. Opinions fly fast and furiously. But Christians insist on liberties on the use of God’s plants, while at the same time requiring truthfulness. The constant quest for a fountain of youth and for a panacea for all ills is something Christians are not interested in. Here are principles for handling snake oil and God’s good oils.

Plato-Loving Homeschool Elitists

Christianity Today reports on the rise of what they call the “Plato-loving, homeschool elitists.” But, do we really want to raise elitists? Does pride and elitism really help us, at the end of the day, or is it counter productive to all that is good? We develop a little more on what Parmenides, Zeno, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Sophocles, and Euripides really taught. We pull apart their worldviews and point out that their meta-ethic and metaphysic was fundamentally flawed from the outset. The futile thinking of the Greeks destroyed their big empire in 7 years, and brought them to birth-implosions, abortion, and sexual dysfunctionality. . . sort of like the Western world today.

Lifeway research has found that 65% of Protestant churchgoers say they can “walk with God without other believers.” Only 9% strongly disagreed with that statement, and felt the church community was very important for their walk with God. But, what happens to an ear when it is cut off from a body? Isolation is a means of apostasy, especially in the modern age. The church has lost respect, big time. But so have pastors — they are among the most despised lot in the country today.

Hong Kong is the most free nation in the world according to the Heritage Foundation’s Freedom Index, and this nation is fighting tooth and nail to retain these freedoms. The reason, of course, is that freedom is only possible because of the Christian heritage of 175 years of missionary work in Hong Kong. We play real footage of Christians singing Christian hymns on the streets of Hong Kong as they seek freedom from communist rule. This is a major indication of Christ’s influence in the east, after 2,500 terrible years of tyranny in China. Listen to the exciting story of western freedoms, and the Christian influence that produced it — and has waned in our generation.

Why Ivy Leagues Getting F Grades

Why are the Ivy League schools offering "The Economics of Star Trek" and "History of Comics," and turning up with a F-score on national academic surveys? Schools like Colorado Christian University, Regent University, and Thomas Aquinas College get A scores? The purpose of college is less and less for preparing young people for life and for work. The worldview is self-consciously humanist and more self-consistently destructive. What is of essence is that young people have been indoctrinated in the core religious subjects of Marxism, Egalitarinaism, Class Envy, Radical Humanism, Self-Determination, and Self-Sexual Determination.

The high-profile sex-criminal Jeffrey Epstein seemed a little upset that "criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration." Indeed, the pagan world in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India,and the Muslim world was saturated in slavery, sexual coercion, and pre-marital fornication. It was a nightmarish world. There is no other word for it. But, when Christ came, He turned on the lights and transformed the way the world looks at marriage and sexual purity. We trace the laws of consent to directly after the Magna Carta and King John’s coercion of the daughters of the lords. It was the Christian world that changed everything - no thanks to the Muslims, the Hindus, the Buddhists, and everybody else.

The Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory promises to rattle around for a long time, following his reported “suicide” in a NYC prison. His association with two presidents, one prime minister, and a British prince further extenuates the suspicions of perfidy at the highest levels. We offer a biblical view of conspiracy theories, and how Christians must insist on truth and only speak truth in these matters. We react to facts and require a biblical interpretation of those facts.

The Boy Scout Scandals - The Dehumanization of the 20th Century

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Apparently, the Boy Scouts are next in line for the scandalous behavior that has surfaced in the Roman Catholic Church and hundreds of other institutions and organizations in America. But, whence comes this scourge? We attempt to explain the worldview shift and the apostasy that underlies the modern, abusive, destructive, horrible, evil plague that fell upon children and society in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. We trace the roots of the sexual autonomy and self-oriented abusive mindset to the Warren Court decision of 1957, when the men in black redefined obscenity to allow for just about everything.

China Removes Christ from Robinson Crusoe

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 09:00:00 -0400

China is removing mentions of God and Christ from children’s classics like ‘Robinson Crusoe’. How is this different from American government-funded schools? The worldview war around the whole world is centered on the children, and the curriculum used for their education? Whether it is communist China or American private and public schools — there is a tug-a-war going on over the hearts and the minds of our children. Who will win?

How News Media Manipulates You

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 09 Aug 2019 09:25:00 -0400

The media using mass murders to work a political agenda. The people are looking for environmental causes that influence these tragic events. But, we encourage our listeners to seek the truth — the truth concerning trends, the truth concerning solution for societal problems, the truth concerning right and wrong, and an avoidance of hypocrisies. While others are pointing at guns, video games, militaristic government, and other external influences as the cause for this violence, we turn to the words of Christ. The problem is the human heart, and the human mind. We address the worldview and the underlying thinking that is going on in the murderous minds of the moderns.

Why Western Apostasy Favors Sodom

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Why does Lots’ wife look longingly back into Sodom? What is it about Sodom? Joshua Harris denies the faith, and promptly proceeds to join the “pride” march. We contrast the “intellectual honesty” of Joshua Harris with the PCUSA and ELCA on this edition of the program. What’s our response to this reality our Lord spoke of, and the Apostles warned of in Hebrews, Jude, 2 Peter, and 2 Timothy?

The Powerful Story of a 20th Century Martyr

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 09:00:00 -0400

No generation is without stories of true heroes of the faith. In our generation, one man will retain a place in the annals of Christian history until the end of the world. He joins the ranks of Justin Martyr, Polycarp, Blandina, John Hus, George Wishart, Patrick Hamilton, and the two Margarets. Haik Hovsepian was an Iranian bishop, and martyred for Christ in 1994 even while he was doing all he could to save the life of a friend. The story is best told by his own son, Joseph, on this edition of the program. We pray this moving interview will inspire our listeners to give up all for Christ.

Western Christian World R.I.P.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 09:00:00 -0400

In a somewhat symbolic move in which an R.I.P. sign is placed over the entire western world, the two nations of New Zealand and Northern Ireland finally relent to killing babies. This is the end of the Christian West, since pagan human sacrifice ended in the West. In 1066 AD, the last human sacrifice to Radigast was completed. Iceland ended infanticide in 1000 AD, and Ireland cast out the druids by 600 AD. Now, it is over. And, it all started with Russia, Karl Marx, and the humanist philosophers of the 19th century.

Why Christians Send Children to Homosexualized Schools

Oregon state has mandated teaching the homosexual religion in geography, civics, history, and economics. This word becomes a “frontlet,” similar to the Deuteronomy 6:7 mandate for the Christian form of education. Why then, would Christian parents still send their children to schools that integrate humanist ideology so tightly into every subject? We discuss how to speak to parents whose children are still in these schools.

Rock Solid Christians, Still Committed to the Faith

There’s good news in American and British Christianity. There is a solid, committed remnant that has been hanging in there over the last 35 years. The percentage of folks believing in Young Earth Creation hasn’t changed much at all since 1983. It’s the lukewarm pew warmers that get spewed. Over the years, we come to realize it’s those who rush to compromise, it’s the seeker-sensitive crowd, it’s the squishy elements that fade away pretty fast.

It’s time somebody told the truth. The debtor is servant to the lender, and our present government is making America the tail again.

Atlantic Magazine recently published an article titled “Where Have all the Children Gone?” Cities in America are shrinking, because of the quickly plummeting birth rates. Nowadays, people see cities as a place where the young and childless can go to have fun and live for their own pleasures. What should a Christian's view be in a world of selfishness, where people are swapping capital for kids? Kevin Swanson addresses this topic on this edition of the Generation radio program.

The Tortured Doubts of Josh Harris

His books sold a million copies in the 1990s—it was the best selling Christian book in the homeschooling movement. . . on courtship. Now, Josh Harris made a public announcement he’s leaving his wife, and he’s toying with leaving the faith. That’s the substance of a recent interview conducted with him by Sojourner Magazine. The zeitgeist has taught the millennial the lesson of doubt. How do Christian families react to the steady flow of apostasies and weakening in the churches? What are the lessons to be learned? Maybe we shouldn’t have bought the book in the 1990s.

Why are kids books and movies picked up for Christian kids normalizing lesbian and homosexual families? Why is this press to condition the kids so universal it is even employed in books by favorite Christian kids author, Sally Lloyd-Jones? Toy Story 4 includes a homosexual moment, in an effort to normalize perverse relationships. We define this “normalization,” and then address the question, “Why do Christian pick on the sin of homosexuality over all the other sins?”

Practically every church has to deal with families who have suffered from divorce, even to multiple generations. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Paul David Tripp, author of “What Did You Expect?

We also look at the blood lust and the violence involved in the old Roman games.

What the government funds the government controls. If the American government wants the next generation to be pro-abortion, pro-socialist, and pro-homosexual, they would seize control of the education system, which is exactly what they're doing right now. Conservatives are protesting Drag Queen Story Hours and asking for educational exemptions, but we really need the government out of the education of children altogether and parents need to train their children from God's Word.

Children a Blessing from the Lord

The only nations left with positive birth rates are found in Africa, along with Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, just in case you want to know which nations will dominate the world in 2100 AD. Are empty cribs related to empty pews? The dying of faith seems to have some link to the dying of family. We take a moment to talk about only child families, the prevalence of which has doubled since 1976. The encouragement is to be thankful for the children that God gives to us. How do we view each other in the church where families are blessed with varying numbers of children?

The Water Bottle Controversy - WWJD?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 09:00:00 -0400

We are a little shocked when we learn that the majority of members in one of the most conservative Presbyterian denominations accepts homosexuality. A bit of a controversy arises among PCA leaders surrounding the pride marches. Shall we street preach or pass out water bottles to the pride marches? Would we pass out water bottles and food to predator men who are picking up underaged girls on the beaches? Kevin Swanson warns about endless discussions on strategies in reaching out to sinners with the Gospel. However, there should be something of an assessment of the hardness of hearts in various contexts. WWJD? Would Jesus do acts of mercy and miracles in Capernaum given the hardness of men’s hearts? This introduces an important discussion on the definition of love. Do we coddle people in their sins, or introduce the Gospel to them?

The Bachelorette Christian & Sexual Sin

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 09:00:00 -0400

It was the explosive moment of the season for The Bachelorette, when a professing Christian, Luke P. suggested that promiscuous sexuality might be bad. The whole entertainment world slipped into a coma for a few hours. But then, another professing Christian, The Bachelorette herself told everybody that she can do “whatever,” and Jesus still loves her, and forgives her. This introduces a conversation on the “Jesus Loves Me This I Know, So I’ll Keep on Rolling with the Flow” worldview. Does Jesus’s washing constitute only “forgiveness?” What does it mean, when we read that all fornicators go to hell, and no homosexual will inherit the kingdom of God? Is it possible to have forgiveness without new life, and faith without repentance?

Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, the US Supreme Court, and Margaret Sanger were all caught up in the furor of Darwinist eugenics during the 1920s. This was no light matter. The eugenicist social Darwinism was the ideology that produced two world wars. Are you reading history rightly, and on which side of history will posterity find you? When Teddy Roosevelt et al abandoned God’s Word, he went astray. Will the same thing happen to those who join in with the present spirit of the age? Exodus 23 reminds us not to fall in with a crowd to do evil.

But if God is with us, and you take advantage of the island of freedom available to your Christian family in Colorado, it really ain’t that bad! The statists are pushing hard for all-day kindergarten, yet it has been a disaster in the model state—West Virginia! We review the Jean-Jacques Rousseau legacy of statist education—and his commitment to remove the child from the home and put all children under state-funded professionals. We also take a look at the dangers of starting too early, and the maximum liberty that we enjoy as Christians to teach as Jesus did, instead of devolving into a socialist one-size-fits-all approach.

The liberals get everything wrong. They outlaw the declawing of cats, they approve of infanticide, and they ban spanking. Is it save the children or kill them? Are we loving children when we kill them in abortion clinics? Are we loving children when we refuse to correct sin in their lives? We must start with the Bible when it comes to every part of life. Bottom line — We have a sin problem in the home, and discipline is part of striving against sin in the home. Discipline and spanking are essential in the Christian home. We communicate a message — sin is not okay. There is one more message to communicate - Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins! Hallelujah!

Has the repression eased at all since the days of Mao? Steven Mosher explains the nightmarish human rights abuses he has personally witnessed including forced abortions and forced infanticide. As well, Mosher reports on how China harvests organs from prisoners by paralyzing their victim so they can extract their organs while the victim is still alive.

Where are all the Good Men?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Anxious for marriage, thirty-five year old women are asking the question, “Where are all the good men?” The problem of delayed marriage is a consequence of a much larger and much more tangled web of social sins and contagions. It’s not wrong to put off marriage, but it’s just plain wrong to put off marriage for the wrong reasons. There seems to be a concern about maturity and manliness, but what is this? The Scriptures give us a picture of faith, sobriety, and doing the things God wants a man to do.

Recent revelations of Martin Luther King Jr. from Pulitzer Prize Winner, David Garrow, is sure to cause some stir with the Me Too crowd. The allegations from newly released FBI files include 40 affairs and laughing at friends raping others, etc. This introduces the question — who will our heroes be? Shall we take on every media darling and assume this to be a hero? Those who forsake the law of God praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them. We suggest 27 truly great Christian heroes that are worth honoring in this nation’s history.

Franklin Graham has called for a Day of Prayer for the President this Sunday to further embolden him. We present some of the varied views of the president from leading Christians.

And what is the cancer, and how will this president be able to address the cancer?

The Game of Thrones Zeitgeist

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 30 May 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Fantasy is supposed to be soothing to the souls of men running away from God. But how does torture, perversion, and grotesque violence soothe the wicked? It may appear to be a temporary escape from God, but it produces the nightmare of Game of Thrones. The fantasy series turned out to be a gigantic disappointment, but of course it would. All fantasy is ultimately disappointing when it is over. . . unless we come to believe in the reality of the Resurrection! The preferred fantasy world seems to involve far more torture and grotesque forms of violence now. Will this prepares the world for a desensitization towards the next set of genocides? Yet, God is sovereign, and He will not allow for a centralized Babel tendency for long.

Environmentalism Devalues Humanity

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 28 May 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Washington state has approved America’s first human composting law, reducing human value to fertilizer. Environmentalism will inevitably devalue humanity, because there is no fear of God and no right estimation of the value of man (as created by God). There is no submission to the creation order laid out in Psalm 8. Cremating, composting, consumption of blood, tattooing, witchcraft, and androgyny are all back in a post-Christian, paginated age. We also discuss the reintroduction of wolves into Wyoming and Idaho, and the biblical mandate to take dominion over the animals (including rhinos and elephants).

And that’s 51% of millennials now go for socialism. When the character of the people has rotted away, socialism constructs an R.I.P. sign for the socio-economic system of the nation.

Do We Have the Right Conception of the Faith?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 24 May 2019 09:00:00 -0400

The Psalms have fallen on hard times in the church. Why are the Psalms so neglected in our worship? Is it the intensity of the Psalms, the Godwardness of the Psalms, the holiness and wrath of God upheld by the Psalms, or the faith it takes to sing them? The Psalms represent the very heartbeat of the Christian life. There is something extremely wrong with a church that cannot sing Psalm 137, Psalm 94, Psalm 7, Psalm 51, and Psalm 75 in a worship service. The whole conception of Christianity has got to be wrong, if the Psalms would ruin a worship service in the modern church. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE PSALMS.

More Evangelicals Voting Democrat in 2020

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 23 May 2019 09:00:00 -0400

There is a growing divide with evangelicals, especially as we approach the 2020 elections. The President for the entire Southern Baptist denomination gives approval for the pro-abort vote and endorses “LGBT rights.” Lecrae, the rapper is leaning the same direction. If some sins are more heinous, how does the Bible lay that out especially when it comes to the civil magistrate? Kevin Swanson identifies the rub in these discussions — and it appears to be a commitment to Marxism and social justice vs. biblical law as it directs the civil magistrate. However, there is something even more basic going on here. . . and that is the very Gospel itself.

He says such public statements just scare people, and it doesn’t provide the love of "Jesus." We try to understand why Brian Houston is not defending the persecuted Australian, Izzy Folau, who was just found guilty of blasphemy in the court of Sodom and Gomorrah (Rugby Australia).

We discuss the lack of evidence and the utter impossibility of human evolution. Then, we talk about a science that is really formed on a biblical worldview.

The whole world’s love affair with fantasy films has reached a high pitched fever. We analyze the movie’s worldview, using real movie quotes and getting to the real source of power attributed to the “gods” or “superheroes.” Christians and non-Christians from around the world are imbibing more of the zeitgeist of sorcery, witchcraft, the fates, and the pagan gods battling it out for control over the infinity stones and “who gets to be omniscient and omnipotent for day.” Will the majority of kids raised in Christian home continued absorbing the wrong worldviews in the temples of Zeus (or Marvel)?

We take a look at the Bowe Bergdahl, Paul Hill, and John T.

Where Worldview Wars Rage Strongest

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 09:00:00 -0400

The most dangerous years in the lives of children raised in the church are the junior and high school years. That’s when young people begin to doubt and to make plans to leave. And, the most dangerous subjects in the junior high and high school years are history and literature. That’s because worldviews play heaviest in these subjects. Math and grammar aren’t as important. Every parent should be very concerned over the type of liberal arts teachers bringing these subjects to their kids in charter schools, classical schools, or co-ops. The battle of ideas is most intense when it comes to liberal arts curriculum. Liberal arts colleges, including those that call themselves Christian, are almost without exception the most liberal, opposing Scriptural view of ethics, reality, the nature of man, etc. at the most key points. We offer curriculum at our lowest prices, and we’re throwing in free postage, until the end of Friday.

Oh that fathers would love God, love the Word, and love their children. That would make all the difference.

All-Day Kindergarten. . . Transgendered

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 09:00:00 -0400

The progressives are gradually working their way towards the complete implementation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s agenda. California and Colorado are working hard towards implementing total statism, this time by incorporating all-day, state-funded kindergarten. In the words of Adolf Hitler, “This new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.” What is the best strategy for Christian leaders and parents who want to oppose complete state control of the minds and hearts of the children?

Children’s Books Going “Gay”

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 09:00:00 -0400

She’s the most popular children’s book author in evangelicalism today. But, is the problem with the Sally Lloyd-Jones’ new book “Goldfish on Vacation” that it includes a “homosexual family” and she appears to be on board with that? Or is the problem with the worldview? We take a look at Sally Lloyd-Jones’ worldview in the Jesus Storybook Bible. Then we ask the question why Christians are so infatuated with the Frozen motion picture and the radical humanist autonomy in Elsa’s song lyrics “Let it Be.” Whether or not she turns out to be a lesbian in Frozen II is virtually immaterial. This “no rules for me” worldview that slips into Christian children’s books and children’s movies is the old Satanic temptation that came in the garden.

The SPLC has been tormenting Christian organizations since 2002 — the source of a great deal of persecution in the present day. Does anybody remember ISIS? Does anybody remember Kmart and Waldenbooks? The extent of the rule of the wicked these days is coming to be shorter and shorter, and yet why are Christians so afraid? I have seen the wicked in great power. . .and behold he was no more. Indeed, I looked all over the place for him and he was nowhere to be found. This makes for an encouraging discussion on the power and sovereignty of God over history.

A UK Immigration Home Office response to an Iranian refugee is priceless, and reminds us of the post-Christian animus against Christians (even those who will be killed for their faith). The accusation is that the Christian faith is a violent religion. We analyze this charge. Is this a peaceful faith or a violent faith? The answer, of course is, yes.

We take the question apart a bit to analyze it. Given the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade featuring lesbians this year, shall we boycott Macy’s? Obviously, these things can be taken to ridiculous ends, but what are the principles involved? We take a careful look at Paul’s injunction in 1 Corinthians 10:23ff, and address the Christian's involvement in ideological programs that counter the Christian faith at almost every point.

Homeschool programs in Colorado (tax paid) are also going to be required to incorporate LGBT and comprehensive sex ed training. God is testing American and British Christians. The pressure is only intensifying, until the real Christians stand up and say, “We will not participate in these abominations.” Do western Christians sail to heaven on flowery beds of ease, while the Chinese Christians sail through bloody seas?

Raising a Modern-Day Knight:

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 09:00:00 -0500

Guest host Adam McManus interviews U.S. Army Lt. Col. Kevin Bouren, an avid listener of Generations Radio, who organized a Manhood Celebration for his 13-year-old son Brady last December. Based upon 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 which says, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”, Kevin invited 21 Christian men to come in from 9 states to share their Biblical counsel, write a letter, and give a symbolic gift about manhood which Brady will treasure for years to come.

Kevin’s thinking about how to raise a boy into a God-honoring Christian man, qualified to be an elder according to 1 Timothy and Titus, was profoundly influenced by three key books. 1. A Father’s Reward: Raising Your Children to Walk in the Truth by Phil Downer. 2. Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father’s Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood by Robert Lewis. 3. Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood by Dennis Rainey. In fact, Kevin strongly recommends the 10-week Stepping Up Video series which he hosted for fathers and their young sons.

One author wrote, “Today’s boys rarely, if ever, learn from the adults closest to them what it means to become a man – or learn when they become one. Instead they are left to search for answers in movies, song lyrics, the often ill-informed perspectives of their peers, and the mixed, even contradictory, messages from other ‘grown-ups’ around them. I believe this leaves many boys confused, hurting, and feeling terribly incomplete.”

In many cultures, there is a rite of passage for young men from the Masai Tribe in Kenya Africa at 15 to the Lakota Indians at 12 to the Jews who celebrate with their bar mitzvah at 13. But what do Christians do?

The Manhood Celebration concluded with the knighting ceremony as Brady recited what a R.E.A.L. man is, as captured by Robert Lewis. A real man Rejects passivity, Expects a greater reward, Accepts responsibility and Leads courageously.

Kevin blessed Brady, saying, “Brady, you are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” Then, he asked him 2 questions.

“Brady, will you commit, from this day forward, that you will, with the Spirit’s help, love God and love others?” His son said, “I do.”
“Brady, will you commit, from this day forward, that you will, with the Spirit’s help, reject passivity, expect God’s greater reward, accept responsibility and lead courageously?” His son said, “I do.”

Kevin said, “By the authority God has vested in me as your father, it is my honor to dub you this day.”

We discuss the consequences of sin, the problem of debt, the question of college for our daughters, but land on the Gospel as the most important message for our day.

About 92% of evangelical kids are still in public schools, while 9 states mandate pro-homosexual teaching for 5-18 year old kids. At what point should Christian churches excommunicate parents who willfully submit their children to transgender and homosexual indoctrination? Are there real Christian churches that are concerned about the little lambs in their congregations, and what should godly pastors do? Finally, some Christians are realizing that education is not neutral, and it is time to insist on a distinctively Christian education and discipleship for our children.

J.D. Grear and Matt Chandler are talking Class Privilege, and there is a great deal of debate over Tim Keller’s social justice theories, and appreciation for Marxists. We carefully analyze Mr. Keller’s actually quotes, and compare with Scripture.

This Church Ain’t Taco Bell

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 09:00:00 -0500

We try to figure out why college-aged kids are leaving church by the droves - 70% of them. And most of them leave church "unintentionally." That means most kids are attending church unintentionally! Families attend church like they drop in on Taco Bell. However, what they fail to understand is the church is not Taco Bell. The Church is not an event. It is the body of the living Christ. And to join the body of Christ is an all-or-nothing proposition.

No Excommunication for Governor Cuomo

Why is the abortion rate for Catholics higher than the rest of the country, while the Protestant rates are lower? A Catholic Governor signs the worst abortion law in the nation, but why won’t the Catholics excommunicate him? Where is the courage of Ambrose who stood down Emperor Theodosius after his bloody purge at Thessalonica? We draw in some important history to remind our listeners that there has been some fear of God among Christian leaders in past centuries.

Biological Hermaphrodites and Gender Confusion

Should Christians Support Surrogacy & IVF?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The “Brave New World” continues living out the horror of godless science, with surrogacy on the rise. The manufacture of orphans, the depersonalization of the fetus, the hiring of wombs, the selling of children, the encouragement of child drag queens, all add up to the victimization of children. Christians should at the very least wake up to the abominations practiced by the world, realize the severe violations of God’s law going on with IVF and Surrogacy, and avoid participation in godless science.

Christian Ed - The Hope for America

Vice President Mike Pence defends a small Christian school in Virginia, after it receives searing attacks for refusing to embrace the homosexual vision for the world. Sadly, Christian education is on the decline in America. . .making up smaller and smaller segments of American K-12 education. Genuine Christians however will demand Christian education for their children in the vein of Deuteronomy 6. Christian education is not just the hope for the future of America, it is the hope for the continuity of the Christian faith itself for future generations. What is a Christian Education and how would it differ from government-funded schools?

It’s a low time in American Christianity, but are we doing better than we were in the 1970s? Many are seeking revival but what does that mean? Rearranging the furniture, trying a whole new set of programs, introducing a new worship band, or reverting to house churching. . .none of that will work, without the power of God opening the hearts of the people and bringing about real conversions. We interview two of the leading pastors in America — one Presbyterian and the other Baptist. We ask a simple question, “How does the church reform in the 21st century?”

Micro-aggressions Against the Victims

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 09:00:00 -0500

College campuses and most of culture is now swimming in victimhood, and the snowflakes are screaming “micro-aggression,” especially if any dare to question victim culture. This creates much dissension and disunity, a destabilization of human society. We contrast victim culture against honor culture, dignity culture, and. . . humble culture. Modern culture is soaking in pride, self-esteem, and zero fear of God. The result of course, is catastrophic. David said, “Against thee oh God, and thee only I have sinned. . .” Of course, David sinned against Bathsheba. But far more important than this. . . David sinned against God. This changes the whole perspective for all of us, when we bring God into center.

The American Psychological Association has concluded that traditional masculinity is toxic to the nation.

Do we really like "traditional" masculinity if that means able machismo and a tendency to want to commit sexual sin? What is true biblical masculinity?

Why are US Colleges Collapsing

The college bubble has burst, or at least it is deflating fast. Enrollment has dropped by 1 million students in six years. . . that’s like 100 major colleges going out of business. The secular college is consuming itself when it denies the beginning of knowledge as the fear of God. It has undermined its own foundations, chopped off its own legs, and burned all of its capital. The college girl to boy ratio is rising 0.5% every 6 years. . .now 56.5% - 43.5%. Men are playing games, the women are working. . . and the kids are being transgendered in the preschools. Colleges represent the wrong educational method, the wrong worldview, the wrong social view, but can Christians still get something out of it?

Purity rings, purity vows, purity ceremonies, and dances were popular for a few decades among Christian groups. But, problems developed when the little boys didn’t grow up and girls couldn’t get married. Immaturity dominated, on-line porn took the boys down; and combining vows of celibacy with a delay of marriage (and a reputation of young marriages) was a killer for evangelicals. Why aren’t our young men getting married? Why aren’t our girls getting married? The just will live by faith, and they will marry by faith. The breakdown of faith involves the breakdown of family. We give some practical advice for young people on getting married in this short segment.

Racism, Feminism, Social Justice

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 28 Dec 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The Christian colleges, evangelical denominations, and seriously mixed-up Christian leaders ball up social justice, feminism, me-too, and race conflicts into one big confusing package. And now, Calvinists and reformed people are accused of accommodating domestic violence and opposing social justice, because they think objectively about stuff. However, these pet issues as presented usually lack clarity and definition. Those who embrace these movements and buzzwords are all wrapped up in irrational, emotion-driven commitments to who knows what, and as well they refuse to submit to God’s laws as defining right and wrong. Confusion reigns, and Satan is in the middle of it all. These are serious matters because they are threatening to split whole denominations wide open. We do our best to clarify the issues by the Word of God in this edition of the program.

The dangers of hierarchy and centralization of power in the church seems to produce corruption, lack of accountability, demagoguery, abuse, and all the rest. The Protestant Church and the Roman Catholic Church are in all out crisis mode now. The image of the Roman Catholic Church is befouled and apparently unsalvageable now. What can be done? A return to decentralized elderships and a rejection of the single pastor man-of-God motif is where the true church is headed. It sounds a lot like Titus 1:5, 1 Peter 5:1, Phil. 1:1, and 1 Timothy 4:14 — ordination by the laying on of the hands of a “presbytery.”

Evangelicals to Persecute Real Christians?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The National Association of Evangelicals which includes the EV Free Church, the Presbyterian Church of America, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Vineyard, and others have endorsed a plan to include homosexuals under federal nondiscrimination laws. This move sets real Christians up for persecution, while protecting fake Christians from persecution. The motions passed by the National Association of Evangelicals and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities were based on the Utah Compromise. The Mormons capitulated first, and then the evangelicals followed them on this one. Is it the responsibility of the civil magistrate to provide for the “needs” of homosexuals who want a wedding? That seems to be the hinge argument of the evangelicals who are pushing for “homosexual rights.” We contrast this with the biblical ethical standard for the civil magistrate and the treatment of homosexuality.

America - Ripe for a Nazi Germany?

It was the 1920s in Germany. Homosexuality was on the rise. Immorality and decadence defined Berlin. The church was reduced to liberalism and pietism. The country was torn by economic stress. The time was right for Adolf Hitler, the great 'savior' of the people. Does any of this sound familiar? Kevin Swanson interviews Erwin Lutzer, author of a new book entitled 'When a Nation Forgets God.'

There are some differences between Nazi Germany in 1932 and America in 2012. There are still a few churches here that preach the full-orbed implications of God's Word to culture and politics.

The more difficult question is: “How do you love them?”

Kids Playing Cowboys and Indians?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The world explodes over cultural appropriations and misappropriations. Actor and comedian, Kevin Hart is in trouble when he threw a Cowboys and Indians party for his son. Should our boys be playing Cowboys and Indians these days? Do we as Christians get fixated on cultural expressions, as the world does? What cultural expressions might we use from pagan cultures, and which ones might we avoid? How might we help our sons to understand good and evil, and the good guys and the bad guys in their play battles? Play battles can be a great way to teach, but what do we teach our kids?

The Social Justice Equalitarian Blitzkrieg

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The political situation surrounding feminism, social justice, and the zeitgeist is bowling over evangelicalism and threatens to split the Southern Baptist Convention in half. Christians are terribly confused about the Marxist standard of justice (social justice) and a biblical standard of justice. Must Christians support government welfare programs and the redistribution of the wealth? What is justice, biblically defined?

The Great Evangelical Disaster

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The Christian thinker, Francis Schaeffer presciently described "The Great Evangelical Disaster" in 1984 before he died. Evangelicalism shrinks back from confrontation because evangelicals have found a single ethic and they tenaciously hold to it - T.O.L.E.R.A.N.C.E. The problem is not just the refusal to confrontation, but it's a basic, basic flaw in the worldview. As it now represents the new flagship for evangelicalism, we laser in on Hillsong - its roots and its sovereignty-of-man worldview.

Harmful Mission Trips

Short term missions trip are en vogue for American churches looking for something to do for their teens (and hoping they might just get saved on the trip). But, now a new campaign is trying to stop these “harmful” missions trips to orphanages especially. What’s the first requirement for missions, before anybody even thinks about going on a missions trip? We lay down the most essential pre-requisite. And, also we offer general principles for charitable giving for missions and international needs.

Kevin Swanson examines the worldview behind this top grossing movie -- Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As the director and movie stars preach to the masses, Kevin Swanson takes careful note of the anthropology, political theory, social theory, witchcraft, and metaphysical worldview perspective that make up the world of Star Wars.

Are the Baptists loosening their standards concerning alcohol (especially with their colleges and seminaries)? We review the history of alcohol and the Baptists since the 1830's. It can be hard to believe that segments of the American church have held the wrong standard and definitions of godliness for over a hundred years, but all of us tend towards external, manmade conceptions of godliness. What is true and substantial godliness? Huge questions to consider on this edition of Generations.

Why More Girls are Drawn to Witchcraft

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The year 2018 in television is being labelled the “Year of the Witch.” Thirteen year old girls are being indoctrinated in cannibalism, blood sacrifice, and selling souls to Satan — and this is presented as an admirable and wonderful thing. It’s time to wake up and smell the napalm in the War of the Worldviews. This sure ain’t “Family Ties” and “I Love Lucy” anymore. We discuss the strong connections between witchcraft and feminism as presented by the Satan character in “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” We encourage that your children come out of the darkness of this dying and darkening culture into the light of resurrection and Christ. Indeed, Jesus came to bring life. We recommend they read about “Taking the World for Jesus” and watch films like “Mully” or “Dispatches from the Front” or “Polycarp” or “Modern Parables” offered by Generations this Christmas season.

When godless men lead, they will take God’s Name in vain in a very public manner. Although there are many other things wrong with them, this is what gets them in trouble more than anything else. The basic problem with America is that Americans take God’s Name in vain, and they do not fear God. Is it really that simple? David French warns of the post-religious right as well as the post-religious left. The pride, the anger, the vitriol just gets worse and worse with godless men.

The major socialist voting block in America during this last election was the gender gap. Polls are saying that women are preferring socialist and liberal candidates by a ratio of 62% to 35%. The gender gap (of females to males voting Democrat) has increased from 8% in 1980 to 11% in 2012 to 14% in the 2018 elections (according to the most recent SSRS poll). Why are unmarried and educated women increasingly turning socialist and seeking more dependence on the government and independence from marriage? The destruction of marriage and family will result in a great deal more socialism, big government, and communism.

Why are the poor and the uneducated voting Republican, while the Democrats are getting the votes from the rich and the educated. Are Republicans less intelligent than Democrats? Is that the message? Or is education and intelligence a poor correlation in a day of politically correct, anti-Christian education. The rural vote still goes Republican and the big city vote goes Democrat. The Democrats get the minority vote by a significant margin, but Christians need to disciple the nations that are rushing into America. After all, this is our commission from our Lord. Sadly, the conservative vote doesn’t really care about principle. They’re just trying to keep the “pesky” Central Americans out of the country. But, that’s losing battle, given that the birth rate in Central America is 2-3 times higher than this country’s birth rate. In the end, the Margaret Sanger worldview will lose.

How do families surrender their freedoms to the government? How do they walk the primrose path towards surrendering control of healthcare decisions and education to the state? Inevitably, the surrender happens when they seek government funding and welfare. Increasingly, governments are paying for healthcare and they will call the shots on your healthcare decisions. Canada’s governments are funding Christian school and homeschool education, and now they want to enforce transgender and homosexuality education on these Christian homes. Is freedom a lost cause now, or are there families still interested in salvaging freedoms in the 21st century?

Now, 51% of millennial evangelicals are pro-homosexual (up from 44% in 2014). But, 53% of evangelicals believe people are “basically good by nature.” The underlying assumption in the minds of most Americans is captured in the question, "Why would God throw a nice guy like me into hell?” That’s pretty much what the Pharisee thought.

An “Exponential” Increase in Women Clergy

Augustine calls Homer “a torrent from hell.” And Jerome called the Greek poets “The food of the demons.” Martin Luther referred to Aristotle as a devil from hell. However, the latest fad for post-Christian homeschools seems to be to revive humanist classical education. Aristotle is the “master of [all] those who know.” “The humanism of the Greeks was remarkable. . “ Who is right in this debate? This may be the most critical question for modern day Christians.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:57:00 -0400

Why are homeschooled kids raised in Christian homes three times more likely to retain faith then kids sent off to public or private school? Why are homeschooled kids equally or better socialized than their counterparts in public and private schools in socialization studies? Why are churched kids predominately public schooled twice as likely to be sexually abused than churched kids predominately homeschooled? Why are homeschooled young people 18-26 years of age, fourteen times more likely to be involved in politics? Garrett and Yvette Hampton have traveled the country interviewing hundreds of homeschoolers, and they are putting together a major motion picture that will chronicle the homeschool revolution of the last twenty years.

Who Trains Your Dragon, or Your Children?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Does the worldview of those who produce and write Sesame Street and "How to Train Your Dragon" matter? One of the key writers of Sesame Street comes out of the closet and indicates that his experiences have informed his depiction of Ernie and Bert. We’re not as concerned about who trains your dragon, as who trains your children. Who are these producers, writers, and directors? Do their worldviews and their sexual proclivities really matter? We also take a look at the social view. Where are Big Bird’s parents? Is the village raising the children, or is the family still important?

No Freedom of Speech in England AND Texas

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 09:02:00 -0400

English police are looking to arrest people for making rude comments on the internet. Texas police are issuing citation to street preachers for offending people. It’s a society that is more disrespectful than ever, but also more fragile and snowflakish than ever. How do you restore self-government to a people who have lost it? How do you salvage a society from descending into a police state? Only Christians will be able to stand in the gap against the rising police state. Here is how it can be done!

The 2018 Emmy Award ceremonies recognized Jesus, but they apparently did not want to honor Him. Why are the most popular shows the ones that feature the most sexual violence. Where are the Me Too people when you need them? We discuss the biblical view of portraying sin and violence on this edition.

Kavanaugh at the Court of Public Opinion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 09:00:00 -0400

One accusation (without corroboration) against Bret Kavanaugh, President Trump’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, threatens to derail the whole thing. As mob justice in the court of public opinion sways to one direction or the other, it is for Christians to avoid this. What would God’s law say about these accusations brought against Mr. Kavanaugh? Also, would Christians attend these drunken parties, as admitted to by the accuser? Drunken parties become a seedbed for a whole lot of sin, and young people subject themselves to this sort of thing.

Young Evangelicals Moving Liberal

Some of the younger generation are staying evangelical, but they are moving liberal. Surveys find they don’t want to reverse Roe v. Wade, they like homosexual marriage and free health care. However, they aren’t much different from their parent’s generation. They are rejecting conservative values, but then conservatives never went for God’s law much to begin with.

81% of the family comedies (intended for your little children) are sexualizing the children in the shows. When it is the most perverted and depraved minds dominating television production, the family programs will degrade into the Lowest Common Denominator. And. . . young pre-teens and teens are watching television programs at a higher rate than ever before - 4-5 hours per day! This is your children’s peer group at the Christian schools and the youth groups.

The Nun and the Dangerous Horror Genre

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 09:50:00 -0400

Is the most popular horror movie series in the world Christian or demonic? Christian news outlets are torn on the issue, and it is an critical question with many implications. A priest blessed the movie set of “The Nun” so there can’t be any demonic element to this horror flick. The argument bases the existence of good upon the existence of evil, and the existence of God upon the existence of the devil. But what is more fundamental — the fear of evil or the fear of God? What is the director/writer establishing in the story itself — the sovereignty of evil or the sovereignty of God? Are “Christians” capitulating to a manipulation of the devil in the Conjuring series? This is dangerous stuff. When severely compromised Christians who do not have a strong Christian worldview get involved in art, culture, and politic, they give way to the wrong worldview. . . and terrible things happen.

Tortured, Crucified, and Escape on a Jet Ski

Here is the thrilling story of how God miraculously protected a young Christian man in Egypt through torture and crucifixion. Majed El Shafie tells the story of how he escaped Egypt on a jet ski after suffering persecution for his faith at the hands of the Egyptian police. His organization One Free World International recently rescued hundreds of girls (as young as nine years old) held as sex slaves by ISIS. It is the story of faith and courage in the face of sheer evil and fearful circumstances. It is a story that American Christians need to hear as they face their own persecutions.

Why is the Whole World Banning Spanking?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 09:50:00 -0400

Over the last ten years, the number of states that have banned spanking have more than tripled. Some 60 nations have banned this biblical form of child discipline. But why? The psychologists have performed the studies, but the desired outputs in the studies do not correspond with a biblical definition of a good. Biblical character definitions are far different than that definition used by humanists and permissive nanny statists. We will watch the character of nations unravel, but how do Christians proceed? Should Christians stay out of nations that ban parenting and discipline?

22 Pastors Arrested in Oregon

We were a little excited when we discovered that 22 pastors were arrested in Portland, Oregon. But, then we come to find out that they were arrested for all the wrong reasons. They weren’t calling sinners to repentance and announcing the promises of the Gospel. The social justice kick is getting more airplay in evangelical and reformed churches. We do a quick review of The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel, and Kevin Swanson explains why he signed it.

Red Letter Christians on Christian Campuses

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Increasing numbers of “Red Letter” Christians are not liking anything but what Jesus said in the Bible. But, do they really like what Jesus said? These “Red Letter Christians” are wandering on to Christian campuses like Liberty University. Students may attempt to subvert the Christian campuses by infiltrating organizations and the campus newspaper. We take up the question of freedom of the press on college campuses. Are newspapers neutral. . . ever? Conclusion: what we need on these campuses are revivals, not more left wing revolutions.

College - 400 years of Decline

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Colleges turned sour in 1698, when Increase Mather failed to fight off the latitudinarians at Harvard College. It’s been a long and hard road of declination. The progressivism is ten times worse than it was 20 years ago, and 1,000 times worse than it was in 1698. So, what do Christians do now?

Skepticism concerning experts and institutions has gone mainstream now. We take a look at “Flat Earth Theories” and other conspiracies. The major trap to avoid is the fear of man. . . always a snare. The same fear of man that trips up brilliant scientists in their arrogance will trip up those who conspiracists who are more fearing man than God.

Good news! The illegitimacy rate has dropped from 41% to 40% in America, and more millennials are staying “virgins.” Wait a minute, though. Abortifacient use is way up and men are only interested in the ultimate depersonalized sexuality. The one ethic that is taught with nauseating consistency is “Your career is more important than bearing children.” But, what are the biblical principles/wisdom relating to getting married? God’s Word tells young people to GET MARRIED! Very few people have the gift of singleness, really.

High School Kids Aren’t Reading

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 09:00:00 -0400

We look at the greatest social shifts of the last 40 years. The cohabitation rate is through the ceiling. The male-to-female ratio has dropped like a rock. But, the greatest social shift is the academic decline in reading among high schoolers - a 75% decline in 25 years! Only 2% of Sophomores are reading, and 16% of seniors would read a book. Readers are leaders. And, Christians must be readers. Our Christian children must not get stuck in mass-diversion, minimal attention span culture. The flashing screens, the texting, the 14 second attention span isn’t going to work, especially if you are going to study God’s work and take it into your heart and mind.

How do Christians react to the brouhahas that flare up between Fox News and CNN. As the pundits argue over whether the $375,000 paid to the prostitutes/porn stars violated the campaign finance laws, Christians should be thinking. . . Whatever happened to the fear of God? Isn’t God’s law more important than some campaign finance law? This would be a really good time for somebody to humble himself. We take a look at Nebuchadnezzar and Manasseh, who were humbled, and said, “I’m sorry. . .”

With the resignation of Bill Hybells, the Willow Creek Board, and the new Lead Pastor, the mothership of church growth and modern mega-churches hit the iceberg. American evangelicalism quivers. We take a little advice from our Chinese Christian brothers on this one. We have a lot of silver and gold, and plenty of bodies, bucks, and buildings. What we need is the spiritual renewal.

Years ago, there were Christian leaders who would promote homeschooling.

Instead of encouraging Christian families to pull their children out of the public schools, now Christian leaders are encouraging their 7 year old children to have a dialogue on transgenderism in the public schools. Is “dialogue” the right word? Besides, the foundations of the public schools and all of knowledge is more important than the transgendered restrooms.

A day of humiliation was called. Oops, that was on April 30, 1863. Such resolutions are rare even for churches today. It was a day in which almost everybody feared God, and quite a comparison with a day in which almost nobody fears God. How do Christians view these calamities?

While thousands of farmers are planning to escape South Africa’s class envy, social upset, racism, and confiscation of private property for freedom in Russia, we offer the real solution to these nations in self-destruct mode.

Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Arthur Clarke, Gene Roddenberry, H.G. Wells, L. Ron Hubbard, et al were the atheists, agnostics, and scientologists who developed the science fiction genre.

Ariana Grande claims in the new hit that "God is a woman." We disagree. We also disagree with the gender neutral attempt made by the TNIV translation of the Bible, which has been dragged into the new NIV translation. God is not a woman, and the Bible is not nor should it be gender neutralized.

We recommend that parents not normalize evil in the way they speak of the sins of fornication or homosexuality.

How Does a Church Revive and Reform?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Every story of revival and reformation in any church is exciting. But, this story of how God brought revival and reformation to this church in Chesapeake, Virginia will win your heart. God worked in the hearts of fathers, mothers, and children. Can revival happen in the 21st century? Absolutely. Reformations aren’t easy, because we are swimming against the cultural streams on this one. How does a reformation come? Pastor Carlton McLeod and Kevin Swanson talk about how the miracle can happen today.

Tensions with China Grow

The catalyst for the initiation of wars are usually worldwide depressions, economic threats, and fussing with tariffs. The real root is found in the human heart (see James 4:1-2). Kevin Swanson has a question. China has just become the #1 Economy in the world. China has never had a shot at Military world dominance. So, what in the world is China going to do with 40 million men who can never be married? We take a look at America’s consumer debt and suggest a better way for your 16 year old son.

The ELCA Lutheran Church Dies

The ELCA puts an 11-year-old transgendered boy in front of 31,000 Lutheran youth, to explain how the church is a place where everybody can be themselves. That’s a dead church, but what does an alive church look like? What does life look like in a dead world? We analyze a hyper liberal ELCA sermon and find some comparisons with dying conservative churches. What do the dead and dying conservative churches have in common with the dead liberal churches?

Why Millennials Don’t Have Kids

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 09:00:00 -0400

The birth rate is set to fall sub 1.0 in America, as the millennial generation earns less money and wants less kids. When women are faced with the question, "Would you rather have a career, or kids?" what would they say? Only 29% of moms with kids will stay home with them these days. But, they’re not having kids — due to child care costs, student loans, and the need for a whole lot of me-time.

Why Physician-Assisted Suicide is Deadly for Society

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 28 May 2018 09:00:00 -0400

On May 15th, California Judge Daniel Ottolia affirmed life when he overturned the 2-year-old physician-assisted suicide law which had led to the deaths of 111 Californians, noting that the legislature acted unconstitutionally.

Guest host Adam McManus talks with Dr. David Stevens, president of the 19,000-member Christian Medical & Dental Association, who says, "Assisted suicide is not healthcare; it has no role in the healing arts of medicine. Depressed patients can easily fall prey to the temptation to give up on life. Those who have a financial interest in a patient's death—insurers, the government, greedy heirs—can wield lethal pressure against the elderly and infirm. When these laws pass, millions of Americans, including many teenagers, who feel vulnerable to thoughts of suicide, hear a message from the government that suicide is a good thing.”

You’ll hear about the differences between physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, the Biblical reasons why they are wrong, and the disturbing notion that 25 states introduced such lethal bills in their legislatures, the vast majority of which failed to pass – for now.

But one little homeschooled girl found five smooth stones down at the brook, and tossed one at the giant, just to see what would happen. Lila Rose is part of a team of young pro-lifers who have found a way to strip the facade off of the Planned Parenthood organization to show its true colors, and its support for eugenicist practices and other illegal perversions. In one of the most important battles of our day, these pro-lifers demonstrate dogged persistence, strong convictions, and true courage.

There are many bad decisions that can take place when fools get together. Steve and Bill discuss the dangerous trends that have surfaced among young people. Social media and peer pressure have started to influence bad behavior. This is the reason why Christian love and discipleship in a young person's life can be so important.

As Christians, we should be letting our light shine among men. In this edition of the Generations Radio program, Steve Vaughan and Bill Jack fill in for Kevin as they discuss the incredible opportunities that have been presented to Christian debate teams. Whether it's in the U.S. or halfway across the world, God is using debate as an outlet to share the Gospel message with unbelievers.

How Jesus Saved Jeffrey Dahmer

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 11 May 2018 09:07:00 -0400

He’s probably held up as the most evil monster America has ever produced. But have you heard the rest of the story? You’ve heard about the first 34 years of Jeffrey Dahmer’s life, but have you heard about the last 6 months? How did materialistic evolution play an important role in his depravity? The media will never tell you this. Kevin Swanson interviews Roy Ratcliff, the man who discipled Jeffrey Dahmer for the last year of his life before he was killed by a fellow inmate in a Wisconsin prison.

Which Version of the Bible to Use?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 May 2018 09:00:00 -0400

This can be a quarrelsome, minor issue. . .or it may be an vitally important issue. Would you use the Jehovah Witness Bible, for example? What about the KJV-only position? Are translators inspired men, or are they Holy Spirit assisted men? Do they make mistakes? What if the language has not been well adapted to receive the Greek and Hebrew meaning? These are not easy questions, and it takes a bit more wisdom and grace to discuss these thing than we are able to bring to the table, at times.

Demon Possession on the Rise in the West

Churches in Europe and America are reporting that demon possession is on the rise. Interesting. . . A nation in apostasy seems to court demonic presence. The Roman Catholics and Protestant organizations are training exorcists. For $3,000 you can be qualified as an exorcist. But, could this be the “Sons of Sceva” training institute? We analyze an exorcism video taped and available on a protestant exorcism ministry website. And, we discuss biblical principles relating to demon possession and exorcism.

Heartbeat Bill Made Law in Iowa

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 08 May 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a pro-life Republican, signed the Heartbeat Bill into law on Friday. If a heartbeat is detected, the baby in the womb is protected. Guest host Adam McManus interviews Janet Porter, founder of Faith 2 Action, who urges pro-life Christians to support the federal Heartbeat Bill (H.R. 490) by sending a fax to 476 Washington, D.C. and district offices with the click of a button through her website www.Faith2Action.org.

Plus, Porter discusses the first American flag which preceded the Stars and Stripes. It featured the words “An Appeal to Heaven” which President George Washington commissioned to fly on our Navy ships during the American Revolution. One of those ships captured an English ship with the ammunition aboard we needed to win the war. Once again, we need to make “an appeal to Heaven” to stop abortion and help overturn Roe v. Wade.

American Teens Loneliest in the World

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 07 May 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Modern man has pretty much abandoned relationship and followed in the way of Cain, way, way east of Eden. A recent UCLA study found American Generation Z’ers are the loneliest of all. They have been institutionalized, and sent away into the wasteland of the electronic universe. But, the real problem is the man is still running away from God. We discuss how Christians might provide hospitality centers in the city of anonymity, oases of relationship and love where man has destroyed it.

The Most Popular Movie in the World

It’s the most popular move in the world. It’s the blockbuster of all blockbusters, raking in almost $1 billion worldwide in one week. So what’s the worldview? Based on the movie dialogue, we identify the worldviews of polytheism, pantheism, and witchcraft with the source of power sourced inside the universe. A shift of worldview is also seen in the top four box office blockbusters of the 2010s vs. the 1950s and 1960s. The world is falling for fantasy and complete escape into a parallel pretend universe.

Is Man Sovereign in Salvation?

Only 0.13 % of Americans seem to believe Psalm 5:5 and Romans 9:13, but the real question is this. . . Does God control everything? Is God sovereign over everything including your salvation? We compare the Humanist Manifesto’s view of man’s sovereignty with a biblical worldview perspective that holds to God’s absolute sovereignty. Then, what are we to say about modern “orgasmic” worship where Dionysius is let loose in an evangelical praise and worship service? What is true biblical emotion and how does it play into worship? Is the solution going to be liturgical worship, or the psalms, or preaching?

Democrats Moving Further Left

The Democrats are moving further left as they prepare to sweep Washington in the 2018 and 2020 elections. However, it’s hard to believe that the Democrats could be more socialist than the Republicans. Beyond any doubt, historians would identify the most socialist and Marxist presidents in American history as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sadly, these are the great heroes of many Christians. How did we get such a skewed view of history? We set the record straight on this edition of the program.

Liberal Media Loses Grip

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:00:00 -0400

About 56 newspapers have gone out of business or merged in the last 12 years. America is less and less trusting of the media. But, the real story is the radical polarities developing in the nation. The Gallup polls found that 72% of Democrats trusted the media in 2017, and only 14% of Republicans trusted the media — almost a 60% spread. Twenty years earlier, the same polling organization found that 52% of Republicans were trusting the media, and 60% of Democrats registered trust. That’s a 7-fold increase in the political divide. Are newspapers necessary? Is a free press important to Christians? Why does darkness want to squelch all light and all truth? We argue for the value of a free press, and the use of news for Christians who wish to expose the unfruitful works of darkness.

The Alfie Phenomenon

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Now an international news phenomenon, Baby Alfie presents another case of pro-death, draconian socialist medical systems grabbing away parental rights. The more fundamental issue that nobody really wants to talk about is — why do parents insist on surrendering the responsibility for medical care to the state? Socialist medicine will naturally undermine parental rights. Tom and Kate already surrendered decision-making to the state when they signed up for socialist medicine. Now, California families who check their kids into public schools in Orange County must subject their children to the Sodomy 101 classes too. The battle for parental rights is real, but parents are going to have to make the call before they sign up for socialist education and socialist medicine.

Pro-Death Dominates Medicine

The pro-death culture is dominating medicine today, more than ever before. Now, the enemy is going after midwifery in England and America. Regulations are cranking up for midwifery in America, and Montana has cleared the way for midwives to kill babies. Families are going to have to fight harder than ever for life. What is the root problem? The medical establishment and medical training are too sensitive to cost, and they will pressure families to kill. 90% of children with Down Syndrome are already killed when parents are pressured to pre-screening tests. How can Christians who still have faith stand against this?

James Comey’s Moral Crusade

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 09:00:00 -0400

The morality of a nation is compromised first in the universities and in the grass roots. Then, immorality spreads into the leadership of a collapsing nation. The former FBI Director, James Comey has gone after the president of the United States, with something of an interest in morality. Comey calls the president “morally unfit” for office. His ideological roots are found in Reinhold Niebuhr, a liberal theologian who ruled a bit of the roost from the 1940s and 1950s. It is a theology of political pragmatism only superficially interested in morality, and definitely not interested in God’s law. Niebuhr is the theologian behind Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and James Comey.

It's government regulation on schools receiving monies from the state. Too many Christian Schools and Home Schools are resurrecting the classic filth and warming up the same garbage taught in the public schools for their kids.

Barbara Bush in Heaven?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 09:00:00 -0400

Four generations of the George H.W. Bush / Prescott Bush family supported Planned Parenthood, Title X Funding, and the Abortion Nightmare in America. Barbara Bush was typically more supportive of abortion than was her husband who is the major sponsor of Title X abortion and abortifacient funding as early as the 1970s. With the passing of Barbara Bush, this would be a good time for the nation’s religious leaders to call the Bush family to come to repentance, and to seek God’s mercy and forgiveness for their sins. Although many news sources announced that Barbara Bush went to heaven, but we are not in the place to make that call.

How should Christians prepare for a collapse of the monetary system? How would we replace a dishonest monetary system with an honest system?

In the 1770s, General George Washington had all the drummers and fifers drum a man who attempted a homosexual act all of the army, “never to return.” Now, the military is placing a lesbian at the head of the Air Force Academy as Commandant. What God has called the most debased sin, had become the highest possible virtue in our land. Shall we send our sons to the Air Force Academy, and place our sons under the authority of the Lesbian?

The present sexual scandals do not seem to have much of an effect on the president’s approval rating. At root, character is of essence — far more important than rhetoric. And, the fear of God is the absolutely necessary component of character for the governance of a nation.

Evangelicalism has seen its better days. God is at work around the world, but the Western world is languishing and the old way of training pastors has fallen on hard times.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:00:00 -0400

We search for Christian colleges around the country where there is no compromise, and where there is opportunities for real discipleship. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Ben Merkle from New St. Andrews College, and Dr. Paul Michael Raymond with the New Geneva Academy. How does a Christian college avoid the compromises of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton Universities sliding from Christian orthodoxy to rank secularist?

Sending Our Women Into Combat

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The Marine Corps has incorporated the first 40 females into combat training, a first in American history. We take a look at the resolutions opposing women in combat from the Southern Baptists, the PCA, the OPC, the RPCNA, and other conservative denominations. Then, we interact with a CNN article which draws out a list of the impossible expectations a feministic, sinful society places upon when in our day. We contrast this burden with Jesus’s burden which is light and easy in comparison.

Academy Awards Hits New Low

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 09:00:00 -0500

Kevin Swanson walks through the process whereby the worst possible vices are made socially acceptable over a period of 70 years. Beginning with Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope in 1948, the complete debauchment of the nation was finally done by 2018. How do Christians keep themselves away from the frogs in the slowly boiling water? And, why was Governor Huckabee kicked off the Country Music Association Foundation Board? The trajectory of the Country Top 40 Stations in America stayed on a debauched trajectory for 60 years. Art is trajectory because it reflects the hearts of those who make it.

Why Europe and Islam is Dying

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 09:00:00 -0500

European nations like Italy and France are concerned that the Muslims are moving in and taking over. What they don’t realize is that the birth rate for Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Africa are birth imploding too, big time. Will the Christian worldview win out in the end, after all? We also discuss the worthless fights over race and the worldview of racism.

Refreshing Examples of Courage in Ignominious Times

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 09:00:00 -0500

An American pastor was arrested and charged when he told a young woman at an abortion clinic that she was dead in her trespasses and sins. A mother in England is willing to go to prison to defend her rights to homeschool her children. Why are there so few examples of courage in the day in which we live? For what principle might you be willing to go to prison? Is it worth it to fight the petty tyrants down? We provide a biblical view of the struggle for liberty against the dictates of tyrants.

The Year of Living Biblically

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 02:00:00 -0500

CBS Television is airing a sit-com targeting the Biblical Christian faith, by creating a caricature and a straw man of the Christian faith (which is subsequently burned down at least in the mind of the viewer). It is based on the best selling book, The Year of Living Biblically. The book gets it wrong on almost every level. We address these common errors people make about the Christian faith on this edition of the program.

The Billy Graham Controversy From Libs and Conservatives

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 09:00:00 -0500

Billy Graham’s funeral is today, very probably the biggest funeral in America in decades. The controversy swirling around Graham continues after his death. Conservatives and liberals both react negatively to the Graham phenomenon. Was Billy Graham a homophobic, Christ denying, antisemitic and bigoted failed evangelist on the wrong side of history? What about the doctrine of universalism which teaches that everybody gets saved and nobody goes to hell? We also discuss the bounds of ecumenism. Can Protestants really jointly worship with Roman Catholics given differences on key doctrines?

How Feminism Captured Evangelicalism

There are three times the number of female pastors today as there were in 1990. The breakdown of manhood and the breakdown of western society has influenced the breakdown of the church. We compare the varying pagan worldviews (including the ancient Roman and Muslim worldviews) to a Christian worldview on the roles and value of women in society.

Caring for Loved Ones with Dementia

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 28 Feb 2018 09:00:00 -0500

At least 5 million Americans have Dementia, and about 50% of our fathers and mothers will have the disease by the time they reach 90 years of age. As Christians, we can rest assured that God has a reason for this disease as it afflicts our loved ones. What is it like to experience Dementia? Do personalities change? Are there certain things that cause dementia. . . or hasten the onset of it? Here is a Christian view of a common affliction, as provided by Dr. John Dunlop, author of the book, Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia.

Witchcraft, Abortion, and New Age Remedies

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 27 Feb 2018 09:00:00 -0500

An abortionist finally admits she relishes the power over taking life of a baby in the womb. Feminists seek the power of choice, and the power over life and death. It is the age-old quest of power apart from God. Then, we look at New-Age remedies that place mind over matter. How are people so easily swayed into New Age spiritualism in our day?

Pro-abortion, pro-homosexual evangelicals running for office say they are only "separating church and state." Is that what they are doing, really? Or are they actually separating morality from the state? We also take a look at Trump’s suggestion for more gun control, and compare it to the original intent of the Second Amendment. Would our founders have been comfortable with giving the citizens access to surface to air missiles and machine guns?

Billy Graham — Prophet to a Nation

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 09:00:00 -0500

Billy Graham, the great American evangelist is with the Lord. His 70 year ministry is practically unmatched in history, especially as he served as the preacher to a nation in severe decline. His prophetic voice called Americans to repentance and faith in Christ, more than any others. We trace his roots from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, consider his impact on the nation, and the integrity and trajectory of his life. We end the program by asking why American Christianity is so weak? What happened? How did we lose a God-centeredness in the doctrine of salvation and life?

Purging Christians from Norway & Europe & Public Schools

Norway is still confiscating children from Christian homes and the problem is getting worse. One homeschooling family lost their son to the Social Services again last week. But, secularization in Norway, England, and America is working to eliminate Christians from the public schools as well. The secularists are weeding out Christian teachers who speak against the politically-correct sins of the day on their own time. We take a look at how the Apostle Paul instructs Christians who must interact with the wicked in the world.

Unprecedented debt. Unprecedented levels of government spending. Trump's big budget deal increases government spending AND debt more than the last two years of Obama budgets. So. . . who is the conservative here? When the tale is told of the breakdown of the American economy, the greatest deficit - Keynesian spenders will have been Reagan, George W. Bush, and Trump. But, that isn't the greatest tragedy of the big budget plan passed by Congress - the greatest loss is the babies. Where's the defunding of Planned Parenthood?

We analyze Eric Harris’s diary, David Berkowitz’s testimony, and Jeffrey Dahmer’s interview with Stone Philips on Dateline.

How do parents wisely assess risks, and fear God above all things? Instead of going with formulaic approaches to things like courtship and dating, we suggest rather a return to biblical principle, and living the life of faith as we cross the wild waves of the Christian life.

Body Defacement, Body Discontentment

Why do men want to rearrange their bodies? Is it appropriate for us to take a duck’s legs and sew them on to a beagle. . . “just for fun?” Or, what if a human tries to turn himself into a leopard, by tattooing stripes on his body, and making ugly cuts on his face? Or, what if a man wants to turn himself into a woman by 100 surgeries? Or, what if a man wants to grind his hand up into a blender. . . “just for the fun of it”? The modern mind has corrupted big time on the treatment of the body, and it’s pretty much mainstream. Why do homosexuals and transgenders hate their bodies so much? We take a look at Nancy Pearcey’s new book Love Thy Body on this edition of the program.

How to Really Mess Up Your Kids

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 14 Feb 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The schools seem to be studying hard about how to thoroughly mess up a child’s mind. New reading programs for six year olds present Tilly the Transgendered Teddy and Mr. Blue Crayon in the Red Wrapper. The abnormal and dysfunctional is bound and determined to destroy the rest of society. Does this call for Christians to increasingly separate from these systems? Parents must think deliberately about who will disciple their children. We also take a look at Central Oklahoma University’s decision whether to invite Ken Ham or a Drag Queen to present to the students. They were looking for something highly intelligent and non-controversial.

Then, we take a look at how the Methodists in the Rocky Mountain region are treating abortion (the killing of children) in our day. As the hypocrisies are made manifest, will they repent?

Glee was the most sexually-perverted program for young people on television. So, a homeschooled young man who stars in the television program falls into perversion himself. He is arrested for it, and he commits suicide. This is the pattern for Christian kids who get entangled up into the world, and the end is worse than the beginning for them (according to the Apostle Peter). How do we know that children raised in Christian homes are more and more loving the world, and pulling away from the faith?

Abortifacient Abortions up 55% in 5 Years

Americans are having less babies, and the number one reason is no co-pay for abortifacients under Obamacare. Americans are killing more babies using abortifacients, and the rate is up 55% in just five years. The pro-life groups have missed this important datapoint. We’re not celebrating victories on this one, yet. We look at American trends. American men are playing more games, and women are having less babies.

Sexualized Barbie Dolls for 8 Year Old Girls

What lessons, what patterns, what standards are being trained into the minds of little girls? Turns out that the originator copied Barbie off a German Prostitute Doll used as a gag gift at stag parties. Now the feminists are upset that Barbie objectifies the female body, and created "the standard look" for girls in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Do Christians agree with feminists?

It took 6,000 years for the world to rack up $80 trillion in debt (by AD 2002). Sixteen years later, the world had added another $157 trillion (to reach $233 trillion). Now, the world debt to GWP is 225%. We’ve never been this far into the Keynesian nightmare before. So on the brink of the biggest economic disaster ever, we take a moment to explain the life, the fruit, and the ethical rebellion and radical, unrestrained homosexuality of John Maynard Keynes.

The Trump Revival in Washington

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 09:00:00 -0500

We go back to Phyllis Schlaffly’s last words on Trump - “He’s the last best hope for the country.” However, it’s still hard to believe that Trump will be the Savior of the nation, even if Dr. James Dobson says that Trump has invited Jesus (or Paula White) into his heart. Are we focused on the right things? Are we listening to rhetoric, or are we concerned with the character of the man? Do we vote for principle, platform, or the person (and his character as demonstrated by his life)? We revisit the role of politics, the critical need for rank-and-file revival, and the untrustworthiness of the most ardent of conservative voices who don’t demonstrate their commitment to God’s law in their own lives.

Military Sex Surgeries and Hormone Treatments

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 08 Jan 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The United States Military will now be busy taking care of their sex surgeries and hormone treatments for their male recruits who want to look like women, and vice versa. The military now pretty much represents the dry rot of the nation, as the foundations continue to erode. We take a look at the military’s prototype transgender: Bradley Manning - treasonous, transgendered, mentally unstable, suicidal. . . and pardoned by President Obama. The condition of the nation is perfectly realized in such examples. As Christians, what shall we do? Do we want to support government funding for transgender operations and suicide for guys like Manning? We explain the insanity of a nation with verses like Eph. 4:18,19 and Rom. 1:26-28.

Inevitable Persecution for U.S. Christians

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 09:00:00 -0500

The family bakery in Oregon lost their appeal, and now they are forced to surrender $135,000 to a lesbian couple for not supporting their wedding. Christians who believe even the most rudimentary Christian truths have fallen into the very slim minority, and are persecuted as such. We go through the history of Christian persecution in the United States from Samuel Worcester in the 1830s to Everett Siliven, Randy Alcorn, and other familiar names of those who have suffered for the faith.

How to Respond to Doomsday and Conspiracy Theories

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 09:00:00 -0500

Should Christians just trust in the establishment and go with the status quo? Or should we assume every conspiracy has merit because it is "anti-establishment?" Some Americans will stick their heads in the sand like the ostrich, and others will flip into the paranoid mode. But, how do WE maintain a spirit of power, of love, and a sound mind?

When Moms Leave Their Kids to Go to Work

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 09:00:00 -0500

Do young children really need their mothers, or should they be raised by institutions, daycare, and strangers? A full 71% of moms with kids under eighteen, and 65% of moms with kids under six are out in the work force now. What are the effects of the Home-Alone kids in America today? Mary Eberstadt, author of the book, "Home-Alone America: The Hidden Toll of Day Care, Behavioral Drugs, and Other Parent Substitutes," goes head to head with us on this gnawing problem in our society today.

Time to Stop White Washing History

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 09:00:00 -0500

Evolutionists are admitting their hubris and their over-eagerness to find an explanation for the origin of life (since they don’t like God and His explanation very much). Everybody wants to white wash their favorite historical narrative, especially the humanists. But as Christians we don’t want to do this. We are telling the true stories of Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Warren Harding on this program. God stopped their lives short again and again, as they carried on with sexual trysts and perversions. Lessons to learned from history for those who humble themselves and listen.

Americans Increasingly Confused on Abortion

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 11:11:00 -0500

Americans say they are pro-life, but they don’t want to make that decision for anybody else. They are so committed to relativism, they cannot see themselves ever holding firmly to a moral absolute on anything. The term “pro-life” is losing its meaning with evangelicals.

We predict that the U.S. Senate will not cut Planned Parenthood funding. And we include our prognostications for 2018 on this program, and more importantly, our prayers to God for this year.

It was an extraordinary year. . .2017. Unprecedented judgments and mercies. It was the year of Trump. It was the year of radical autonomy and sexual revolution in the motion picture office. It was the year of the worst natural disasters — $400 billion worth. It was a year of setbacks for evangelicals. This was THE WINDOW of opportunity for Americans. . .to repent.

Included with this broadcast is a last “prophetic” word to the 21st century church as part of an interview with Dr. Sproul.

Hatred, Victimhood, and Manhood

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 27 Dec 2017 10:16:00 -0500

Hatred, victimhood, and loss of manhood have created a three-fold cord of a sinful predicament for many among the African-American population. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson helps to unwind the conundrum for us, and point to redemption. How did Barack Obama contribute to worsening the tensions? And, how can we “rebuild the man” and rebuild the foundations of a broken society?

The marriage rate for the millennials has dropped in half as compared to 1980. Only 38% of millennials (25-34) are married now. When they do get married, many are getting divorced (even among Christian families). It’s “scary” out there. Do we want our children getting married if they are going to get divorced? Kevin Swanson offers several biblical answers to help divorce-proof you kids before they get married.

Now, 68% of Americans want to use the term "Happy Holidays" or "X-mas" or something besides Christmas. Where did the modern trend towards paganizing Christmas start? We take a look at Adolf Hitler’s attempts to remove Christ from history and from Christmas. Then, we talk to Christian families about avoiding the wrong emphases, the wrong symbols, and the wrong way to handle the holidays.

United Nations on Abortion, Adultery, and Humanism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

The Trump administration has dumped the United Nations abortion funding, and it’s about to defund UNESCO as well. We take a look at the roots of the United Nations, and the worldview behind the charter. The United Nations is trying to correct nations that assign the death penalty for adultery, but what would Martin Luther and John Knox say about this? Also, we take up the practical question - what happens when a girl friend or wife wants an abortion, but the father resists? What should the magistrate do if a wife starts killing the kids via abortion?

How to Deal with Scandals

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

With the multitudinous scandals coming out of Christian ministries, it seems appropriate that we learn how to deal properly with them. We refer to the child molestations allegations and investigations of child molestations that surrounded Voice of the Martyrs from 2012 to the present. These things ride like a cloud on these ministries, but how does one resolve it? Now, a cloud has descended upon Ravi Zacharias’s ministry as well. Kevin Swanson recommends independent investigations, and accountability with church eldership.

Exvangelical - Leaving Evangelicalism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Do we really want to be called “evangelicals?” The term is increasingly nebulous, although it was supposed to distinguish “true” Christians from liberals. We look at the history of the term, and the morphing of it through the centuries. Then, we take a look at the hyped up, modern worship service where almost nobody is singing anymore. What ever happened to congregational singing? More importantly, has the Holy Spirit departed from the evangelical church? Is this Ichabod?

Jerry Brown Calls Trump to Fear of God

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

California’s Governor Jerry Brown takes on a prophetic role, as he calls President Trump to the fear of the Lord, or a fear of the wrath of God. This liberal governor links the wrath of God to the fires in California. Indeed, God’s judgment has visited this nation this year. This year brought record hurricane damages and record fire damages — in the same year. Almost 10,000,000 acres have burned down, causing around $180 billion in damages. We contrast three explanations for the fires. The typical academic/media explanation that points to a chance universe, Jerry Brown’s explanation, and the Bible’s explanation for these natural disasters.

Alabama Bites the Dust

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Alabama, the last conservative bastion in the nation, finally bites the dust as the state prefers a liberal pro-pan sexual, pro-abort over a conservative pro-life, pro-family candidate. Doug Jones, as the leading voice in favor of sexual perversion and sexual abuse in the form of homosexuality wins the race. But, Alabama has deeper problems than this. Porn-Hub rates Alabama as the second most active pornography state in the country. We point out the rising hypocrisy of the media, as television shows increasingly sexualize younger and younger girls for their viewing audiences. We also interact with the mass of media scandals that have taken down political and media leaders. These are all instances of God's real and present judgment upon the nation. . .but as we point out here. . . judgment always begins in the house of God.

Foreigners Bring Gospel to Pagan England and America

As the faith is dying in the West, England and America are in need of missionaries from foreign countries to come to preach the Gospel. It is called “reverse missions.” One South Korean missions group has seen 300 Korean missionaries in the UK over the last eight years. They’re not reaching the whites, however. They are reaching the internationals in the mission fields in London and New York. We compare Iran and England, in this discussion with Pooyan Merhshahi, a pastor in George Whitfield’s home town of Cheltenham, northwest of London.

Why Progressives Liked Hitler and Sanger

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Liberals were pro-eugenics in the 1920s, and they are pro-Planned Parenthood in the 2010s. Any surprise, anybody? Christians like Calvin Coolidge opposed the liberal agenda of eugenics and racism in the 1920s, while liberals like Woodrow Wilson embraced inter-racial marriages and pushed for segregation in federal departments. Christians still oppose the journalists that push for race-baiting and the trading in baby body parts and other evils. This program looks at the hypocrisy of the media and the tendency to excuse liberal icons despite their horrible lifestyles and policies.

Worst Presidents - Reagan, Bush, and Ford

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

We take a look at federal outlays per capita and the graduated income tax over 45 years, and identify the worst presidents in terms of fiscal irresponsibility. Presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush administrations were the worst. President Obama’s was the best, and President Clinton was second best. Based on the degree of graduation in the income tax (looking at the top quintile of earners), America is 70% more Marxist than she was in 1980. Marxism grows. Debt grows. Immorality grows.

The Severest Warnings to a Nation

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

We contrast the warnings that Christian leaders issued in 1992 with the situation today in this country. The West is in 3-4 times worst shape by every possible metric, and yet this generation is far more complacent. It is a time for the most urgent warnings possible. It is a time for agony, and to call all to repentance. Kevin Swanson issues a critical warning to Christians in the Western world. Wake up and prepare for the worst.

Can somebody be a conservative Christian and still be pro-abortion? We take a look at a Pro-abort, Tomi Lahren, and her recent convocation speech for Liberty University. Also, studies find husbands whose wives retain their maiden names are perceived to be lacking the pants (and disempowered). Are Christians concerned with empowerment or disempowerment? We are more interested in unity, that no person do anything that would separate the two which God has made one.

This clarion call addresses the lack of repentance, the severe lack of the fear of God, the centrality of God, and the sovereignty of God.

Why CPS Must Be Abolished

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Child Protective Services tyrannize families, aid in adoption, and use public monies to pay for foster care. These tyrannical systems were largely espoused by liberals like Walter Mondale, Richard Nixon, and LBJ. How do Christians interact with systems that are patently unbiblical and refuse to submit to biblical law? We draw a distinction between good Christians who are within bad systems, and the systems themselves. We also contrast government coerced redistribution of wealth and real heart-deep charity. Christians must displace these ungodly systems with church-based systems.

Attack of the Liberal Fundamentalists

We stand back amazed at the fundamentalism of the liberal progressives of the day. We walk through the ten commandments of the politically correct, and contrast them with God’s laws. The Anglican Church gave Edward VIII a hard time for marrying a divorcee, and Princess Margaret faced the same problem in 1953. But now, the church hardly blinks when Prince Harry announces his plans to marry another divorcee from America. Is this the final R.I.P. for the Anglican Church?

What may be the most well-publicized, horrific murders in America as decried by the media has a redemptive element to it. The liberals hate God’s redemption and God’s law, but for some reason they get very preachy and religious in their deprecations for Charles Manson. Kevin Swanson points out how God redeems some murderers. Charles Tex Watson outlines the sins he committed to lead him to the Helter Skelter gruesome murders of 1969. Watson was raised in a Christian family and the first sin that led him to these nightmarish evils. . . disobedience to his parents.

Pop Music, Sexuality, and the Devil

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

To ignore the spiritual realm, the principalities and powers behind the spirit of the age is to make a grave mistake. Popular music controls the minds of billions of people around the world these days, and Satan has a hand in it. Beyonce is the most wealthy female pop musician in the country, and with her husband, Jay-Z, they make up the most wealthy pop musician family in the business. Christians like to assume they can embrace the popular worldly standards with as much enthusiasm as everybody else. But, we point out the shameless degradation of sexuality found in the popular music scene. Nowadays, it is the musicians that set the standards for immodesty and the lack of chastity in dress and attitude (for Christians and non-Christians alike).

Americans are back on a spending binge. Consumer spending is at its highest level since 2009, and the savings rate is the lowest it has been since 2008. Here’s the kicker. . . Self Storage Unit construction capital outlays have risen from $240 million in 2011 to $3.6 billion in 2017. We’re drowning in stuff. Kevin Swanson provides a little background on where consumerism became the big emphasis in American economics.

When a Medium Sets Up Shop in Your Town

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Most Christians do not take the spiritual realm seriously, and they are easily taken by the devil's devices. What should a church do when a medium or witch sets up shop in town? How do Christians address demonic activity in the home and the church? This program will help you gear up for spiritual warfare as the Day of Evil approaches.

Americans Abort, but Less Adopt

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Adoption numbers are the lowest they've ever been in this generation. Where is the church on this one? Where are Christian families? What's wrong with the system? We take a look at why the love of so many have grown cold, with a warm conversation about loving kids (even those with special needs and those without anybody else in the world to love them.)

Australians Embrace Homosexual Marriage

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 09:20:00 -0500

Australia has finally capitulated to Caesar Nero’s agenda of sodomite marriage and the persecution of Christians that always attends. Only Taiwan and South Africa from Africa and Asia have joined the Western world, but that is only because they were colonies of the Netherlands. If God destroyed the Roman Empire, Sodom, and Pompeii, when will He destroy the Western world for its replication of the sins of these former places? The final chapter of the Western world is almost complete.

Did Judge Moore Commit Sexual Sin?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

While Judge Roy Moore is questioned about his sexual behavior 38 years ago, we look into the sin of everybody else in America. A full 95% of Americans say that they have committed fornication (on the day of their marriage). All of America needs to be crying out for God’s mercy on them for their breaking the 7th commandment. We look at the accusations against George H.W. Bush, Al Franken, Judge Roy Moore, Kevin Spacey, and Sylvester Stallone in light of God’s laws. Deuteronomy 22 requires that a woman cry out against unwanted advancements. But, what if she waits 25 years to cry out? Also, we address the question of early marriage for teen girls.

Rob Bell asks the question, “Is Gandhi in hell?” But, we are asking the question, will Rob Bell go to hell? And, will people who believe the Shack theology go to hell? The weakening of theology forms an exit ramp from the highway of orthodoxy. But how seriously is this? Do we take the Bible Literally? And, what does that mean?

Christians Opposing Spanking and Death Penalty

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Why do Christians and “Christian” countries oppose spanking. . .and the death penalty? How are these things related? Kevin Swanson takes a history ride back into the breakdown of the Christian faith and Christian theology in the 19th Century. Christian do-gooders assumed the wrong anthropology. Softening towards sin turns out to be a hardening of heart towards God.

Wholeheartedly Apologizing for God’s Laws

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Scotland’s government apologizes for ever doing anything according to God’s laws (more or less). And, Hill Song Pastor, Carl Lentz waffles on abortion on The View. We contrast with an abortionist, who calls herself “a mass murderer” in a public hearing. We also pull from the archives from John Knox and Martin Luther who both wholeheartedly encouraged capital punishment for adulterers. Scotland’s First Minister, would “categorically, unequivocally, and wholeheartedly” disagree.

Millennials feel like this and feel like that. They feel like communism is better than capitalism. We talk about the 100th year anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, and the millennial’s preference for communism over working for a living. The work force participation rate for young people has fallen off from 68% to 48% since 1980. Kevin Swanson recommends that 100% of twelve-year-old boys should be working.

Atheists Killing Christians in Texas and North Korea

It was the deadliest church shooting in American history — but not in North Korean history, or USSR’s history, or Egypt’s history, or Pakistan history. Atheists have been killing Christians for the last 120 years. But, these are not merely random attacks from atheists or Muslims. These are Satanic-inspired attacks on the church, and Christians must see this as persecution (and rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven). How do we handle the death threats and the attacks on our churches? Do we respond in fear of man, or faith?

Contemporary thinkers are pretty sure that man is on the cusp of breaking through in the evolutionary process—developing machines that are smarter than man. The moment of singularity is supposed to happen in 2045 A.D. Now they’re asking questions: Will the singularity mean the death of religion? Will the ontological argument fail when an intelligence refuses to allow for the possibility of God? These are deep questions and powerful arguments, but we smash them into oblivion once and for all on this program. You have a powerful apologetic for God. Use it!

Immodest Teen Daughters - What’s a Parent to Do?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 08 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

Time Magazine features an editorial of a mom all up in arms over her teen daughter’s immodesty. How does the Christian parent approach these issues with love and a sound mind? How does a Christian get along in a sexualized society like this? Will Christians seek purity instead, or just capitulate to the inevitable slouch towards Gomorrah? Kevin Swanson addresses the modesty issue, without relying upon a narrow, highly specific set of standards for our daughters and internet filters for our sons.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 09:00:00 -0500

The law of God has come to be ignored or even despised by so many Christians today. God wants us to teaching His commandments to our children. That’s what Deuteronomy 6:7 tells us.

There has been a massive increase in Sexually Transmitted Diseases over the past few years. The world blames funding cutbacks, but what's the real problem? The tip of the iceberg may be Obergefell, but the bottom of the iceberg is a wholesale breaking of the 7###sup/sup### commandment. Kevin Swanson addresses the problem of the most conservative states being the most immoral. We must turn to the Gospel, not as just a “social solution,” but as an eternally important lifeline that saves us from our sins.

Halloween participation has increased 50% since 1999. As the spirit of age moves towards paganism, Christian families are caught up with it. But, we ask the question here: "Should Christians celebrate the Day of the Dead or should they celebrate All Saints/Hallows Eve?" Why are Christian parents so drawn to Disney’s transvestism and homosexuality? Why are they drawn to the Day of the Dead? Why is it so hard to abandon the world’s programs?

Secular studies have found that religious people are just as immoral as atheists.

The world pulls us into a certain lifestyle, certain priorities, and schedules, which usually do not involve family relationships, discipleship, and the things that matter to Jesus. The famous Abraham Kuyper said, “The greatest gift a church can receive is to have a group of families who take their responsibilities with such Christian seriousness that they are willing to completely alter their lifestyle to raise up disciples for Jesus Christ.” We discuss how fathers can do this in the most radical way possible in the post-modern, materialist age.

99.7% of the Department of Education supported the big-government, socialist candidate in the last election, as well as 99.4% of the Department of Agriculture. The fourth arm of government is the bureaucracy, and corruption is inevitable. Campaign donations always turn into bribes when the beneficiaries work for the government.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 09:00:00 -0400

College kids are scratching out their “demands” for the administration in thick crayon and bad grammar. Incredibly, administrators are more and more caving to their demands (just to hang on to whatever is left of their job security). These demands usually include getting rid of things like grades, tests, micro-aggressions, and white male poets. They violate almost every single proverb included in the biblical book of Proverbs. The wisdom ratio is approaching zero, now. Minority groups want their own safe spaces to protect themselves from each other. What about equal-opportunity access for minority groups to these colleges? Is that going to help anything now? We take a biblical look at this government-enforced equal opportunity idea.

Cryptocurrencies, Greed, and Federal Reserve

Cryptocurrencies have grown to a $100 billion business just since 2011. Computer-generated coins like Bitcoin have increased in value from $30 in 2013 to $4200 this week. Some economists see it as a gigantic Ponzi-scheme, second only to Social Security in its success. Do we agree? Is it better than the unbacked money churned out by the Federal Reserve Bank? What makes a currency, and is Bitcoin treated as a currency or a commodity investment? These are important questions. But then we ask the question. . .should we really be involved in fractional reserve banking, given the Exodus 22:26 principle?

How can good come out of these tragedies? What does this say about the nature of man? These events shake the nation. In fact, God is shaking this nation. Fifty years ago, the F.B.I. referred to the perp’s father as psychopathic. What about the sins of the fathers as mentioned in Exodus 20:4? Are the sins of the father really visited upon the 3rd and 4th generation?

The End of the World didn’t happen last week . . but now David Meade says it’s coming in October. We agree with one thing. The end of the world is coming. But it may not be in October. We review the string of adventists, cults, and eschatology whack-jobs that have emerged on the scene over the last 170 years. What is a healthy eschatology? What is a good balanced approach to the end times discussion?

The NFL vs The National Anthem

The National Football League is getting into the political and social battles of the day. But, what’s the agenda and what kind of progress do they expect to make? The national anthem becomes an issue of protest. We discuss the connection between nationalism and sports, and the breakdown of national unity. Does this signal the end of national sports leagues?

The Fruit of Hugh Hefner’s Sexual Revolt

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 29 Sep 2017 09:25:00 -0400

Hugh Hefner is dead at 91 years of age. His Playboy magazine was the most influential men’s magazine of all time. He kicked open Pandora’s Box in the 1950s and 1960s, and left of legacy of broken families, sexual nihilism, pornography addictions, sodomy, child sexual abuse, divorce, and the abandonment of marriage. He would often point out that he was the son of conservative Christian parents, and he claimed roots in puritans, William Bradford and John Winthrop. He was an apostate nephilim of the highest order, following in the footsteps of Nietzsche, Hemingway, Steinbeck, and others. Kevin Swanson tells the sordid story, and ends with Proverbs 7.

Our Legal Strategy Post Obergefell

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

After Obergefell and Roe v. Wade, there is a tendency for the righteous to fold up shop and give up. Has the Supreme Court obliterated all authority from every state legislature in the country, while it dispenses with traditional marriage once and for all? What do the righteous do now? First, get five smooth stones down at the brook. . . and then. Here is an encouraging strategy session with David Fowler, President of Family Action Council of Tennessee.

Transgendered Schools or Christ Nurtured

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

The Charter Schools in California are not allowing for any opt-out on the transgender classes for 5 year olds. Romans 1 explains how these schools have given way to insanity. It all started when they “did not see fit to acknowledge God.” That’s when it all came unravelled. What makes for the greatest reformations in America today? Is there any good news at all? Yes, there is! The Christian school movement has lost 30% of its students since 1991, but the homeschool movement has grown by 300%!

The most powerful nations in the world - the United States, Germany, Japan, France, and the UK are going down. China and India are on the rise. But what about the Gross World Debt? The World Debt-to-GDP ratio has increased from 200% to 325% in the last 8 years - spending like a drunken sailor, since the last recession. That’s not a good idea.

LGBTQ Clubs at Christian Colleges

Calvin College wants to support LGBTQ students, but what does that mean? There are eight Christian colleges with approved on-campus clubs to service LGBTQ students. So, there is an orientation towards certain sins. Kevin Swanson asks the question: "Do I have to identify as Licentious, Greedy, Bitter, Thieving, and Quarrelsome (LGBTQ), if I have a tendency toward these sins?"

Would you subject your children to the perverted worldview of a kindergarten system that encouraged cross-gendering? Parents in a Church of England school are pulling their kids out. Would you subject your children to the perverted worldview of clothing designers who are manipulating children into more gender confusion?

Why even “Christian” Kids Go For Drugs?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

More and more, Christian homeschool kids, and church leaders’ kids are getting in heroin, and the harder stuff. Opioid deaths are up 533% since 2002. Opioid drug prescriptions are up 350% since 1992. More Americans die of this tragic behavior each year, than soldiers that died in the Vietnam war. What are the causes of this major explosion of drug use? What is the biblical view of the use of morphine and heroin? Does this view warrant the issuance of 259,000,000 opioid prescriptions each year?

Should Your Protestant Son Marry a Catholic?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

Doctrinal differences are so. . .yesterday. The Christian apostasy, and post-modern relativism make doctrinal distinctives (that people used to fight over), less and less important to the Millennial. Pew research finds that there is much less difference in the theological perceptions of professed Protestants and Catholics. 98% of German Protestants and 97% of German Catholics are fine with intermarriage across religious communities. That leaves us with the question: Should your Protestant son marry a Catholic daughter?

Best Strategy for Getting Involved in Politics

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

We aren’t socialists. We don’t believe government is supposed to save us. But it would be nice if civil government would stay out of our way, and provide a little liberty. . . and punish a few criminals on occasion. Here, we interview two homeschooled graduates - now legislators in the South Carolina State Government. Here is a blueprint for getting involved in government, without losing your worldview and your principles. Can Christians really make an impact these days? Can a small minority strike a blow for the cause of liberty and right?

How Darwin Opened the Door to Atheism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

The Majority of UK-ers are atheist now (calling themselves “religionless”). It’s 51% up from 35% just 25 years ago. And now 71% of 18-24 year olds are atheist, up from 62% just last year. What earthly cause is to blame for this metastasis of unbelief? Charles Darwin broke the 2,000 year hold of the “fixed and the final” on the minds of the Western world (according to John Dewey anyway). We also discover that 19% of pastors in America are Young Earth creationists, and only 13% of big church pastors would claim the title. Why is this? We dig into the attraction that modern scientism and Darwinism has had on the modern mind and the church.

Marxist Class Envy and White Privilege

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 09:00:00 -0400

Students are forced to apologize for being White and Christian in a North Carolina public school. How do the ungodly handle sin and guilt? The godless guilt-manipulators fail to define sin according to the law of God, they don’t want any apologies made to God, and there is never forgiveness with them. Christians do not charge the children with their father’s sins. And, they find real forgiveness in Christ.

Why do so few church leaders today agree with Ken Ham (and Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Wesley, etc.) on the young earth creation view? We take a look at recent comments made by R.C. Sproul, John Piper, Tim Keller, Michael Horton, etc. Does this portend a general softening on the authority of Scripture in the consciousness of modern Christianity?

Time to Protest Walgreens and CVS?

When a 6-year-old little girl is subjected to the nth degree for failing to get the pronoun right for another confused transgendering 6 year old, we sense the tentacles of Cultural Marxism reaching deep into our lives. Is it time for Christians to get MORE RADICAL, and start protesting Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart for dispensing their abortifacients (and contributing to the killing of another hundred million babies)? We advise Christians react to the zeitgeist in the most radical form of disagreement - either by creating alternative systems or by head on opposing argument.

The Collapse of the “Christian” Bookstore

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 04 Sep 2017 09:16:00 -0400

What is the deal with the collapse of the Christian bookstore business? While other brick and mortar bookstores have lost 20% of their business, Christian bookstores fell off by 75% since the 1990s. We provide several reasons why Christian bookstores are failing. People are just leaving the faith and churches. What are they leaving? There is a lack of gravitas and seriousness about the faith. We distinguish between the schlocky, disposable books and those books that are worth keeping in your library. Compare Robert Schuller’s books to Martin Lloyd-Jones’ books. Why is it that Joel Osteen’s books will be on the bargain book bin inside of about 2 years, but we’re still reading Pilgrim’s Progress?

There is a world of difference between a godly leader and the wicked, and this we find between Robert E. Lee and Adolf Hitler. While there are no perfect, sinless people in history (but One), the Christian has a duty to read history by the standard of God's law -- not by the political correctness of the day. Should Christians honor the heritage of the nation? Should we build statues for Adolf Hitler or Robert E. Lee?

This evidenced by the Sacramento Bee’s take on the Eclipse. We take a question from our listening audience on agnosticism.

And, why does Duke University still need a chapel? We talk about the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in history. What makes for a good leader or a bad leader? Every nation and every leader has its sins. Liberals define sin really badly, and then atone for the wrong sins. Christians are pretty confused on this whole heritage matter as well.

Would Jesus Be Right or Left?

Would Jesus be on the right or on the left in the political spectrum? Would He be a Republican or a Democrat? The problem with these political parties is that none of them are interested in defining right and wrong by God’s laws. When it comes to crime, the Bible does not want magistrates to be partial in their treatment of Republican murderers, Democrat murderers, Nazi murderers, or Communist murderers. We take a look at God’s law as it applies to the Charlottesville suspect who is charged with murder, after reportedly beating his disabled mother.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

Christian seminaries are now encouraging Christians to watch horror movies and participate in their creation. The latest box office horror film hit, Annabelle Creation, is taking in another $100 million. The movie set was blessed by a priest, so is it really going to be okay? It’s the Sons of Sceva production company presenting the Sons of Sceva attempting another futile exorcism. Do we capitulate to the advice of Fuller Seminary and go watch more horror films? Kevin Swanson presents the worldview problems with the horror genre. There is a horror about what happens to the communicants who have fellowship with the demons while watching the horror films. But there is a horror even worse than that - the judgement of God.

70,000 people are expected at the Wicker Man ceremony in Black Rock, Nevada next week. The tradition harkens back to the Celtic human sacrifice of the BC days (Before Christ). It’s called “radical inclusion” or “radical polytheism” to the point of embracing human sacrifice. Will Christians accommodate human sacrifice as they have the sin of homosexuality?

Why the U.S. Would Lose to China

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 09:13:00 -0400

America is facing the possibility of nuclear attack from North Korea. Or is America’s real problem with China? Or is America’s real problem with God? The media does not help us maintain proper perspectives, because the media is more about sensationalism, and does not order its thinking by a biblical ethic. The empire is cracking. China’s GDP is 30 times what it was 20 years ago, and the United States’ GDP is choking.

When Schools Turn into Whorehouses

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

The 2017-2018 school year introduces a whole different level of ungodliness for government schools in Washington, Hawaii, and Minnesota. Washington State school districts are mandating gender fluidity lessons for five year olds. We are finally asking the question. What would be wrong with sending Christian children into a whorehouse for their K-6 education? Should the answers be obvious?

Rob Bell Preaches Blessedness of Doubt

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

CNN does a long, positive piece on Rob Bell, who is touring the Bible Belt as the "outlaw pastor." Rob is an apologist for doubters, and offers group therapy for those who have made their way out of the Christian church. But, we’ve been on this merry-go-round before. Kevin Swanson points out John A.T. Robinson, Paul Tillich, Jeremy Bentham, and Henry Ward Beecher worked the same gig in previous generations. At the end of the day, what is the basic ethic? The answer is obvious - whatever the world says.

Gearing Up for Persecution

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 09 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

As persecution rises and vindictive opposition against the church turns violent, should churches arm the leading brethren? Should churches lock and load? Kevin Swanson interviews Carl Gallups, author of a new book called, “Be Thou Prepared. . . Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble.” What about “Turn the other cheek?” Should Christians press the laws of God and fight for their rights, while at the same time forgiving those that despitefully use them?

Patriarchy, Loving Leadership, and Feminism

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 09:18:00 -0400

Is it only patriarchalists that oppose feminism? Must everybody else embrace feminism, and reject the Apostles Peter and Paul's admonitions to women to submit to their husbands? We take a careful look at the biblical admonitions, and then we cover the sordid history of 19th Century feminism with all its support of witchcraft, spiritism, prostitution, and suicide. Who would ever support such a tragic and evil movement?

Should Men on Porn Get Married?

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

Young men are increasingly troubled by pornography, and the question arises. . . should they marry at all? How long of a clean track record in regards to porn might be appropriate before a young woman risk a marriage with him? Two million less people were married last year in this country vs. the year before. We cover the various causes that are contributing to the delay of marriage.

Legal Marriage for Guys and Their Laptops

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 10:19:00 -0400

After Obergefell, the courts are now wrestling with marriage for guys who are in love with their laptop computers and polygamists. Lawsuits are flying right and left for zoophiles, polygamists, and machinists. The machinist is in love with machines. It’s genetic. They don’t do well with real people. They’ve already been depersonalized. It’s love according to their own definitions. And, it fits right in with a natural law argument. We call Christians to abandon completely the idea of natural law and just go with biblical law. Otherwise, there is no ethical standing anywhere for anybody anymore.

The Moral of the Story of Charlie Gard

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

Rest in peace, Charlie Gard. We provide the moral of the tragic story of Charlie Gard. It’s time to repeal the British National Health Service Act of 1946. The story has stirred up concerns about parental rights and state control over the life and death issues. The answer to such ethical conundrums, however, is very simple. Stop stealing and allow families to make these decisions.

America, Repent!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

We call America to repent, but what is that? Repentance is an oft-neglected doctrine in the church, and this may be the reason for so many false gospels and false conversions in the church. On this program, we explain the doctrine of repentance and its continuance through the Christian life. It is not a matter of outward deeds, it is a state of mind, a renewal of the mind.

Why Communists Hate Sunday School

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 09:00:00 -0400

The Chinese Communists are working to eradicate Sunday Schools and Christian Summer camps. Why do communists hate Sunday School so much? And, why do socialists hate family discipleship? The Communist Manifesto called for “replacing home education with social.” The state owns the children, and cannot tolerate a single hour of children discipled by their parents or by a discipler in the church. But are Sunday Schools really effective, or do we seek out more of a Deuteronomy 6:7-9 construct?

Metal Rock Suicides and the People Influenced

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 10:09:00 -0400

Two lead singers for major metal rock bands have committed suicide over the last two months. The chickens have come home to roost. The ideas have borne the consequences. Linkin Park’s Lead Singer committed suicide, but not before he influenced a young man, Matthew Murray, to conduct a shooting massacre in Colorado. Teen suicides doubled, and then doubled again, and then doubled again since the 1960s. Kevin Swanson traces the suicidal worldview from Hawthorne to Nietzsche to Hemingway to Kurt Cobain. And then, we take a look at Comic Con and the massive escape from reality that began in 1970.

Atheists Calling Islam Abusive

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 09:00:00 -0400

The most famous Atheist in the world, Richard Dawkins, is pulled from a program by the most liberal radio station in California. . . over his comments on Islam. Atheists are attacking Islam. The Polytheists are attacking the Atheists. And the Christians are increasingly irrelevant when it comes to the future (at least according to a new study of birth rates). Christians and atheists agree on lowering their own birth rates. . . while the Muslim birth rate is twice than of Christians and atheists (according to a major new study).

Homeschoolers Dominate in Intl. Debate Tourney

A group of four teams of homeschooled students from America took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place in the International World Debate Tournament in Prague. How do such "unsocialized," "uninstitutionalized," backwoods families succeed in the international scene? We discuss how values clashed, how modern education dumbs down, and how homeschooling really works.

How Western Cultural Leaders Turn Pagan

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 09:00:00 -0400

Western culture is spiraling into paganism fast. Miley Cyrus makes an excellent case study for the slow but steady decline from her Baptist background to apostasy, sexual chaos, and self-destruction. How do these cultural icons lead the current apostasy? Kevin Swanson also distinguishes between true cannibals and Rihanna. Why is Nathaniel Hawthorne more dangerous than Aristotle? Why are the modern pop singers more dangerous than pagan cannibals?

Stop Judging Me!!!!

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 10:16:00 -0400

The polemical guy is not very popular these days. Is there any place for preaching against Rob Bell, Joel Osteen, Andy Stanley, or some other big preacher guy or religious writer in the church? The folks sitting in the pews have access to books, podcasts, radio programs, etc. from who knows who these days. Should the preacher warn them about this book or that book? Is it possible to get too picky? Kevin Swanson breaks down four categories of squishiness in evangelicalism today. The Jen Hatmaker crowd, The Rob Bell Emergents, The Hank Hanegraaffs and the Reversions, and the New Age Mystics in Yoga Pants. J.D. Hall, a practicing polemicist explains the role of polemics and boundaries for it on this edition of the program.

Conservatives Revolting Against College

Republicans are no longer favoring college as they once did. Only 36% of Republicans favor college, down from 58% seven years ago. Finally, red state families are growing tired of sending their kids into the blue city colleges. The rebellion is growing. But, what are the alternatives?

More Cremations than Burials in U.S.

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 09:10:00 -0400

For 1500 years, cremations disappeared in Christian countries. But, last year cremations outnumbered burials in America for the first time. We look at the recent history of cremation, and then ask the question, “Is it a sin to cremate?” Does the Bible ever allow for it? The more important question however is this. . .Why would you want to cremate your loved ones?

Canada: Babies Rule Over Them

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 10:13:00 -0400

You know God’s judgment comes on a nation when babies are ruling, when children are oppressing the people from their highchairs in Washington, DC and Ottawa. Canada’s prime minister marches with proud homosexuals, celebrates Ramadan, persecutes Christians, dedicates $650 million to killing babies, and gives terrorists $8 million of tax monies. We take up the question whether 15-16 year old kids should be held accountable for crimes they commit (as considered from God’s laws). But, the real question we want to look at. . .why the problem with perpetual adolescence and immaturity?

Effeminate Ballet Men at PCA Church

josh@generations.org (Generations) — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:00:00 -0400

The effeminate ballet men at Redeemer Presbyterian in New York City has made it around the blogosphere. What’s wrong with this picture? How is the church addressing the tendency towards homosexuality? Is the church capitulating to it? A reluctant capitulation to the "gay Christian" seems to be the order of the day for the evangelical church. Instead of this "malakoi" softness, it would be refreshing to find a more rugged faith. Somebody like John the Baptist would be nice. . . and he’s not going to be prancing around the stage of Redeemer Presbyterian.
