The Generations Radio Program

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.

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.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Are we taking sin too lightly? Do we take the sins of abortion too lightly? Do we take this sins of racism too lightly? Do we take our own sin too lightly? It’s all bad, but why? These are sins against God, violations of His holy law. How might we speak out against sin, but without favoring one sin over another?

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? Interesting study we have conducted for this segment of the Generations broadcast. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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?

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? This comes from best-of-collection for the Generations broadcast.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The nation is in upheaval. The partisanship is widening. The Supreme Court is doing the wrong thing, over and over again even with Republican appointments. If there was ever a time to find peace with Christ, and to nurture the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (in the Church), now is that time. Psalm 133 is happening in the local churches here, while the nations rage out there. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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. The Harris case has made history — and leading the pack is Neil Gorsuch and John Roberts. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Christians are marching for social justice in the streets. Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales explains via youtube why economic disparity exists in America. But, are we supposed to join the marches? Has the time come to call out for redistribution of the wealth, hiring quotas, the banning of hate by the civil magistrate (whatever that is)? The muddle-ment and irrationality in the churches is stifling. The root — an antinomian gospel. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The World Bank calls it the worst worldwide decline in national per capita output since 1870. But the 1929 depression was the best of times, and these are the best of times. How do the great depressions constitute the mercy of God upon this nation? You need to hear this.

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. Does this mean we should “defund the police?” We recommended defunding the universities and the mob instead. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

While millions of Americans are rioting in the streets, the churches are still afraid to meet. 80% of churches are still closed, and Christians are huddled in their houses, as the police ignore hundreds of thousands of protesters. What does civil disobedience look like for Christians when governments forbid the assembling of themselves together? 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?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

On the 400th anniversary of this nation’s founding, we go over the heritage of those who laid the foundations in New England. Could this heritage be of value to our families and communities today? Was the vision of John Winthrop over-stated? Was the City on the Hill a flop? What were the achilles heals of the first movement of Christians into America? Kevin Swanson interviews Nate Picowitz, the author of an excellent new book, “The American Puritans.”New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The attack on homeschooling continues with another article in Harvard’s Crimson Mag. Christians are accused of “group think” and “social isolation.” But which group think are we talking about? World group think or Christ group think? We encourage at the least, that all sides be epistemologically self-conscious of their think — their worldview foundations. To what extent might we isolate our children, and to what extent do we engage the culture? Important questions to consider for every Christian family, on this edition of the program.

This has been another big year for Disney’s Outing. Technically, Disney has been out of the closet since 1991, but Christians continue to enthusiastically participate in the March of the Pied Pipers. Will parents be okay with Disney introducing bestiality? Time will tell. The bewitching, the enchantment, the spell cast by this medium is powerful. . . really powerful.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is a clarion call to open all churches of true faith, NOW. Despair deaths are twice the incidence of COVID-19 deaths in America, and churches remain closed while hospitals are open. What’s with that? Kevin Swanson compares the present scenario to other pandemics in history, and finds this to be 1/1000th of the pandemics faced by Londoners in 1667, and New Englanders in the 1700s. The time has come to obey God rather than man.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The riots across America following the alleged, murderous act taken against a man who had not been convicted of a crime — has resulted in more mayhem and destruction since the Rodney King riots of the 1990s. The constant cry is for “justice.” But what is justice? That’s the million dollar question, and there is only one way to answer it — the objective Law of God. Tyranny plays off on anarchy to produce more unrest and unhappiness across the land — until the nation repents. Pray for this!New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The most God-like quality that fills our lives, the most powerful force in our lives is to love. But how does one love like God loves? There are two major hindrances, beaver dams, that clog up the flow of love — our love for God and our love for others. We couldn’t be talking about a greater need, or a greater blessing than this.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Never has this generation (or any of us) experienced anything so traumatic, so devastating, so defining, and so exhilarating as these earthshaking events that have unfolded in the last two months. Economically, socially, ecclesiastically, and politically, the nation is facing massive challenges now. The world is impacted more than any other time since World War II. We take the moment to name the seven most devastating events in history, and the eight greatest events! This program is engaging because His story is always engaging.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The nation is more divided than ever, and the divisions are seeping into the Southern Baptist Denomination, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. As with feminism and homosexuality, the divisions always seem to tie into respect or disrespect for the Law of God. We take apart the Critical Race Theory by a biblical view, and warn of Satanic strategies for creating divisions in the church — Diversions, a Lack of Clarity, a Failure to use God’s Objective Law, and a lack of Holy Spirit visitation.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Why don’t romanticist Christian Artists feel like believing in God anymore? The lead singer of the Hawk Nelson Christian Rock band releases his manifesto for fans, and we take a look at the worldview. Does he begin with "I feel," or "God said?" Increasingly, personal feelings trump God’s truth, because the romantic worldview of subjectivity and primacy of the individual dominates. Are your children buying into this worldview?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Pagan spirituality is more and more dominant in the minds of the post-modern Westerners. Man-worshiping humanism is being replaced by the worship of other creatures/creation. This pagan spirituality is creeping into the churches and schools, more now than ever. Listen to this program, and see if you recognize what we’re talking about.

Who do we blame for the coronavirus outbreak? Sin generically? The sin of a nation? Our sin? My sin? Your sin? Sin, as defined by anybody out there? John Piper calls it a thunderclap calling us to repentance. But, N.T. Wright says it is to teach us lament over suffering in the world? But, we’re asking. . .What would Jesus say about it?

What makes for a solid church? Not a revolutionary church — but a reformation? We revisit the scandals that are taking apart the young, restless, and reformed churches, and the youth-led movements. 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.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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). What is the value of seeking liberty for families to make these decisions?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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.

Does the 1 Timothy 3:4 qualification serve as a gating factor for pastors in the church today? What would happen if all the pastors resigned whose children rebelled, abandoned church, and lived in fornication? The application of this qualification may be the most neglected qualification in the biblical list. Are there exceptions to this, or does the qualification die the death of a thousand qualifications?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Lot’s children didn’t seem to want to leave Sodom, and his wife wanted to go back. So many kids raised in Christian homes, Christian schools, and Christian homeschools get to be curious about the world, its lusts, its competitions, its pride and perversions. What’s the draw? And, how do we disciple our children to avoid the toxic waste dump, and prefer Christ? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We offer a brief review of the biggest book in evangelicalism, at least for last year — “Girl Wash Your Face.” Rachel Hollis’s worldview is basically summarized as: ““I love Jesus, and I cuss a little. I love Jesus, and I drink alcohol. I love Jesus, and some of my best friends are gay.” Anyway, we contrast this Jesus and Gospel, with the real Gospel. . . and suggest a few book worth reading from the last 15 years.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Top-Selling evangelical authors in the 20th century were Tozer, C.S. Lewis, and Bonhoeffer. Top-selling evangelical authors in 2005 were guys like John MacArthur and Larry Burkett. Now. . . the top-selling evangelical offerings are dominated by the pro-lesbian evangelical women authors — Rachel Hollis, Jen Hatmaker, et. al. This means one thing. . . Evangelicalism R.I.P. It’s a Psalm 80 and Psalm 137 moment for the Western church today.

The Cal State brick and mortar universities are closing up shop for the 2020-2021 school year. But, hundreds of California pastors and churches are planning to open services on May 31st, whatever the Governor's orders. Has the time come to break the law? And, which law are they breaking? Where do you pay honor to whom honor is due, when there are differing opinions between local and state authorities, executive and judicial branches of government? It's not all cut and dried, but there are biblical principles that are to be brought to bear. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

By 2018, 71% of children born to women under 24 years of age were born out of wedlock. 57% of babies born to millennials were born out of wedlock. So now, the secular world claims the nuclear family was a mistake. We contrast the response of Jesus to the brokenness of the adulterous woman in John 8, with the Vatican’s support for transgender prostitutes. What would the real Jesus say about the broken family of the 21st century?

What in the world is happening with the world? Unemployment numbers just exceeded the Great Depression numbers of 1933. But what is the cause of all of it? Was it a disease or doubt? We take a look at the four “stabilizers” that stand between us and a complete meltdown. Will man save himself, or is it time to turn back to God?

Did a global ca-bal of billionaires and drug manufacturers create the coronavirus pandemic as part of a plan to enforce “globally mandated vaccines?” Are there really evil, rich people in the world, with hearts that are deceitful above all things and desperately wicked? Okay. Let’s say that the Coronavirus was planted by the Chinese, or, over-anxious tyrants allowed for the development of Coronavirus in Wuhan labs, or Fort Dedrick, so they could control us more, immunize us more, socialize us more, and create more tyranny. What does this knowledge do for you? Kevin Swanson suggests a little mistrust of yourself first. And then, we discuss the misconception that knowledge = power.

America is awash with over-mothered men, says one commentator. Is this the year of living hysterically? Have we been running around trying to find too many safe places? What is the root problem of a fearful culture? And most importantly, how do you get a man to be a man? When a Christian man is a man, he will overcome by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of his testimony, and he will not love his life unto the death.

Homeschooling is growing, but so is the power of the state. Which will win?

Earth Day came and went, and the pope is assigning blame for the COVID-19 pandemic to environmental sins and mother earth’s indignation. Oops. Wrong religion.

COVID-19 did not cause the current depression. There are ideas which bring about these consequences. Modern man has sallied over the line of despair, and this socio-economic system is falling down.

Pilate asked the question, “What is truth?” While there are lies, very bad lies, and statistics, what we are looking for is ultimate facts. Let’s not get hung up in the weeds, or sweating the small stuff relating to COVID-19, Chinese conspiracies, political wrangling, death rates lower or higher than the flu, etc. There are much more significant issues to consider in relation to God, the judgment of God, and the pride of the nations.

We’ve encouraged families to think out of the box when it comes to education, and now the box is on fire. Per Forbes, 72% of private colleges have very few reserves, and are running the risk of bankruptcy now. But then again, this has been the breeding ground of progressivism for years. College professors are becoming more liberal, more anti-Christian. . . by 50% in the last 25 years. In a recent study, the Democrat to Republican ratio was 12 to 1, and among the younger professors 23 to 1. But what is the biblical view of preparation for life?

We do a program on snitching, and the rise of the Orwellian State. It’s one of the byproducts of the totalitarian state. What does the Bible say? Do snitches really get stitches, according to Psalm 52? We draw distinctions between the various complications that arise under conditions of extreme government control. Under what conditions might Christians break the law? Then we contrast the Christian worldview with that of the statist worldview. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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.

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.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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.
