The Generations Radio Program

NPR’s Scott Simon makes note to atheist Richard Dawkins that atheist organizations are never seen helping people during wars, tragedies, or famines. But, why would atheists choose to be altruistic? The motive is going to be self-interest, unless there is a God-interest. We also take a look at the rise in suicide among the millennials, esp. with young girls. We cover the new television program “13 Reasons Why,” and provide our own 13 Reasons Why Not Commit Suicide. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Defense Secretary Says North Korea Is a Threat, Kentucky Governor Confronts Violence with Prayer, Terrorist Kills 37 People in the Philippines)New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Prejudicial Caricatures and Media Propaganda against certain sects constitute the first step towards persecution and genocides -- witness: Germany and Rwanda. Eccentric cults and Biblical Christians are being targeted in television programs and first-person shooter games. We take a look at Far Cry 5 and The Handmaid's Tale as prime exhibits. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Supreme Court Considering Denver Christian Baker's Case, Trump Rejects Paris Accord, Planned Parenthood's Annual Report Reveals More Abortions)New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We do a quick review on the summer movie fare on this edition of Generations. The persona of Wonder Woman finds roots in Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. Jack Sparrow of the Pirates of the Caribbean finds his roots in guys who hung on the gallows in 1721. Shall we encourage our children to endear themselves to guys who are drunk, commit adultery, and habitually steal from others? How does the Goddess Woman compare with the Godly Woman of Proverbs 31?

Some are wondering if Russia's draconian anti-evangelism is bringing the nation back to the days of the Soviet tyranny. We status the situation by first hand account from a Russian believer on this edition of the program. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2.

Reformers of the 1920s like J. Gresham Machen saw the educational institutions and government-controlled systems as “far more dangerous” than the crude tyrannies of the past. What would he say about our present day — with 5 times more government (as a percentage of the GNI) and 10 times more immorality? We have hardly recognized the damage done to the family and to the church by our modern systems. What the government funds, the government controls. And what the government controls, the government destroys (except for that which God has delegated to it). This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (More Arrests in Manchester Attack. Church of Scotland Goes for Homosexual Faux-Marriage, Tiger Woods Needs Jesus)New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Young people are looking for cool churches and cool tattoos, or both. What do Christian parents say to their children who are planning to get tattoos? Is the church still interested in fulfilling the Great Commission and teaching them to observe what God has commanded including laws pertaining to prostitution, tattoos, cannibalism, and divination? How do we disciple the nations in 21st Century America? Must we teach children to honor their fathers and mothers? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2.

Taiwan becomes the first Asian nation to set a path towards the legalization of unnatural relations and homosexual marriage. This introduces the subject of common grace, and the unusual condition in which God has chosen to withhold common grace from the world beginning in the 1980s. Why are the nations burning out en masse? This introduces the question of eschatology. Does the rise of Christ's kingdom and the burning out of the nations encourage a pessimism or optimism? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Pastors are Responding to the Manchester Terrorist Event, Methodists Now a House Divided, Fourth Circuit Blocks Trump's Travel Ban)New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Tragically, 2000 children attended the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, and three were killed (including one eight-year-old child). Geert Wilders thinks that Islam is the root problem underlying these violent terrorist events. Is Islam the problem? Or is radical Islam the problem? Or, is Ariana Grande the problem? Why would parents allow children to attend concerts that encourage gross sexual sin? What may we learn from the fall of the Tower of Siloam and other tragedies? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2.

What is the virtuous woman spoken of in Proverbs 31? Modesty. Domesticity. Prudence. Contentment. These aren't words we hear much anymore in the common vernacular, so here in this interview with Nancy Wilson we limp up to explain it once more. Nancy Wilson is the author of 16 books for Christian women, young and old. You will appreciate the graciousness, the humility, and the matter of fact, biblical language without the sappy sentimentality in this exchange. This program includes: 1.

President Trump is moving right, they say. But, the rest of the country isn’t. Of all the 19 moral indexes monitored by Gallup over the last 16 years, Americans are not moving conservative on even one of them. Young adults are far more likely to endorse homosexuality, illegitimacy, abortion, and pornography than the older generation by about 20-30 percentile points. In fact, the millennials are 2.5X more likely to consider pornography normal and moral than previous generations. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2.

Would more coffee bars, better stage lighting, and props on the stage of the church offer more demonstration of the Spirit and power in the ministry? Here is a riveting testimony that should shake some pastors up, and awaken a laity up from their fixation on fun and games. What does the church really need to be doing? We boil it down, and I mean we really boil it down on this edition of the program. What are you looking for in the quest for a real church? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2.

Moms are wanting pieces of their aborted children encapsulated in jewelry. Professing Christians will develop a sentimental attachment for popular music and movies that contain similarly grotesque elements. And, Lyndon B. Johnson produces a Great Society that further destroys the poor. The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Sentimental music, sentimental thinking, sentimental preaching, and a sentimental view of children not measured by the standards of God’s law will lead astray. Beware of grotesque sentimentality!

Primetime television is breaking new moral boundaries with the Starz new production, “American Gods.” The absence of the Christian influence and Christian preaching will mainstream paganism, human sacrifice, and homosexual porn, with a 98% approval rating from the reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes. We take up the question as to whether our daughters should be models and our sons should be actors. Shall we train our children to show off their “assets?” Can Christian actors use the F-word in the production even if they put it in quotes? This program includes: 1.

Thousands of homeschooling families around the world participated in a worldwide homeschool summit sponsored by Generations. We review the theme of the summit - the importance of including God in Math, History, Science, and Literature. Giving your children the wrong worldview in these classes has been devastating for the faith in the generations. If the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge, how can we be sure that foundation is solidly in place under your children's education programs? This program includes: 1.

An atheist professor suggests that virtual reality games will replace jobs for a “useless class” of persons. He compares religion and games as both forms of escapism. We interact with the worldview incoherence with the atheist perspective. Then, we question the world of mass production and mechanization. The automation and mechanization of education, agriculture, and human relationships has been a total disaster. The world of centralization, automation, and virtual reality games is not God’s worldview and true dominion work. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2.

Recent numbers from Barna and Pew Research find that 60% of evangelical millennials are pro-homosexual and wouldn’t discourage the sin. 59% of millennials have quit attending church, and their worldview is turning left fast. These numbers suggest a drop of evangelicalism from 40 million to 4 million, unless God intervenes. We encourage Christian parents to get serious on discipleship for their children.

The Generations ministry releases the Evil Index - 2017, identifying the most evil nations (and the best nations) in the world. Other secular organizations will give you the happiness index and the prosperity index, but we are more interested in the commandments of God. Based on God's objective ten commandments, do you live in the best nation in the world or the most evil nation in the world? Every nation is in need of discipleship, but where do we begin with this or that nation? Sadly, nations that believe they are in good shape, nations like Sweden, Iceland, and the United States score very high on the Evil Index. But which is the most evil nation in the world?

National Review called the Religious Freedom Executive Order a "Nothing Burger," a "Water Sandwich." But, Dr. James Dobson says "he's never been so optimistic." What gives? We analyze the constituents of the order, and find the Christians too easily satisfied with a few bones. What about Obergefell and Roe v. Wade? We compare with Josiah's reformation, and then we take a look at the Johnson Amendment. Should pastors really endorse candidates from the pulpit, or should they teach people to obey everything Jesus commanded? This program includes: 1.

When we take the Great Commission seriously and start real discipleship-based churches, there's no telling what might happen! Here's the story of the missionary who helped plant 100,000 churches and baptized 3,000,000 disciples in 30 years. It's called "contagious disciple making." It's nothing new, yet modern denominationalism and evangelism needs to rethink what they are doing. This program includes: 1.

Why are Japanese teens so glum? And why are millennials losing their hair at a higher rate than previous generations? The most miserable nations are typically rich, they have marginal Christian populations, and they have made progress undermining the nuclear family. That puts Japan and Turkey ahead of the others in the misery index. Meanwhile, South American countries are more optimistic. Nations with growing economies and a better-that-replacement level birth rate are happier as well. What really makes you happy or content? Interesting discussion on this edition of Generations.

We try to make sense of the kerfuffle surrounding Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, involving pastor rapping, accusations of racial insensitivity, apologies, and general cultural destabilization.

Bill Nye is fighting the war on science. . . fighting to defend far-fetched fairy tales like Panspermia, Over-population, Climate Change, etc. Modern science has an increasingly difficult time distinguishing alchemy in their systems. We take a hard look at "scientific consensus," the conflation of morality with science, and other common errors made by the pop scientists of the day. And how does the sexual spectrum of perversions make it into this highly scientific series of programs? This program includes: 1.

Do conservatives run the risk of committing misogyny as they react to the feminist explosion of the last fifty years? How do we capture the right balance on this? Here are eight examples of how women express great faith in various callings and capacities. Kevin Swanson discusses the question with Dr. Michael Haykin, Professor of Church History at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. This program includes: 1.

The Oregon Association of Scholars has released a report claiming that “many” colleges are using diversity pledges, to assure that professors hired with “reflect a commitment to queer visibility,” etc. Free expression and free thought are gone now, especially if the issue is sexual perversion (or what is known as “queerness.”) We review what the great Christian pastors and leaders from previous centuries would have said about these perversions in the colleges.

Christian college material presents Karl Marx as a good thinker with good ideas, just badly implemented thus far. And now, here's a new book published by M.I.T. called "Communism for Kids." Somehow, the university always wants to believe that every genius writer and thinker has got to be good. What they forget is that the devil is a genius. The Christian liberal arts crowd makes fatal mistakes, because they refuse to submit to a biblical view of ethics, social systems, economics, and government. Kevin Swanson provides a strong biblical basis for rejecting Karl Marx's ideas. This program includes: 1.

Columnist Matt Walsh says Christians are to blame for “virtually all of our cultural problems.” Do we lay the fault at the feet of the Christian churches? Where were the extreme deprecations from Christian leaders on each successive move towards total social acceptance of the very worst abominations? Where was the outcry? Where is the outcry? The silence is deafening. First thing, the church is going to have to repent on this matter of “repentance.” This program includes: 1.

University Berkeley students are protesting Ann Coulter and threatening riots. And Earth Day involved marches for science and global warming. Marches and demonstrations work for the left, but they don’t do anything much for the cause of righteousness. We explain why the leftists have used marches to their advantage since the 1960s. The left needs talking points on their TV broadcasts. But should pro-lifers and Christian groups organize protests, demonstrations, and riots? How do we make an impact? This program includes: 1.

Christian women are asking if there is a life of Christ that is not saturated in entertainment, feeding flesh, flirting, and glamour contests. What would it be to be a set-apart woman? Leslie Ludy from Set-Apart Woman Ministries joins us to challenge ladies about this life of holiness.

It should be no surprise that the most leftist, corrupt cities in America get the most degenerate mayors. Homosexuals and pedophiles multiply. Mayor Ed Murray from Seattle, Mayor Sam Adams from Portland, Mayor Marion Berry from Washington DC serve as prime examples. The evangelical Gordon College appears also to be sliding towards Gomorrah, at least if the leftist professors will have their way. They protest the administration’s opposition to homosexual fornication on campus. This program includes: 1.

More evangelicals are moving away from the authority of Scripture while seeking authority in science, or church authority and tradition. News that Hank Hanagraaff of the Bible Answer Man fame has turned toward the Orthodox Church serves as another example of the trend. Do we find orthodoxy in decrepit institutions? Do we find life in icons, smells, and bells? Do we find authority in centralized power and long standing institutions? Or shall we find orthodoxy in Scripture, life in the Spirit, and authority in the Spirit speaking through His Word? What fruits do we find with the Orthodox church teachers who failed to disciple Russia and Greece over the last half millennium? We discuss the major orthodox and orthopraxic issues that must be considered when joining a church community.

There is a desperate need right now for a reformation in the way that we teach science. Two things are terribly missing - wonder and worship. Kevin Swanson discusses the vision for a new science curriculum with Neal Bringe, author of a new series of books that explore God's creation.

In a world of gender confusion. . . shall we make it even more confusing for our children? Uni-sex names were extremely popular in 2016. . . should Christian parents confuse their children by using uni-sex names, uni-sex clothing, and gender blended toys?

The states that break God’s laws and that do not work are the most stressed, and they happen to be the Southern states. These are the states with the most divorce, the highest welfare rates, and they do not trust in God. We take a look at the latest Stress study conducted by WalletHub.com. Also, there are governmental pressures that are pushing more women into the work place. Why hasn’t this worked out for Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and Germany? This program includes: 1.

The modern church is changing shape to accommodate a growing disinterest in God. Should children miss church so as to make their championship sports games on Sunday? We also talk to the things we lost when the hymnbooks went out the door. The church lost a body of songs. The people lost an ability to sing. Families hardly sing together any more at home. But, what are the real issues at stake here? What are the worldview shifts happening when transient images come and go and truth becomes just as transient? This program includes: 1.

Visiting the orphan and widow. Adoption. It’s real religion. It’s tough religion at points. But it has to be a religion filled with faith and Christ, the whole journey. Here is a realistic, down-to-earth, loving, thoughtful, informative, wise, courageous, faith-filled, hopeful look at adoption through the eyes of a mom who has walked the journey.

Dr. James Dobson is one of the only major Christian leaders that encourages a mass exodus from the public schools. How have things changed since Dobson first advocated homeschooling in the early 1980s. Sexting, porn, and personal electronic devices pervade among the 12 and 13 year old kids. Huge changes have come about in the last ten years, but will parents pay attention? Are Christian parents hardened against Christian education? How does this happen? This program includes: 1.

There are more Muslims than Christian church attenders in England for the first time in history. Church attendance is 4.7% and Muslims make up 5% of the population.

Persecution against Christians is rising in this country, especially with the media. Christians are viciously attacked on the internet, and Vimeo is leading the charge now. Why does Vimeo prefer Jihadists over Christians? Why did the Jews prefer a murderer over Jesus when they had the choice? Also, we take a look at Russia’s rising persecution against Christians.

The American evangelist, Franklin Graham, is moving right while evangelicalism around the world is moving left. He’s not as welcome as his father was. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Graham has been enthusiastic about the Trump presidency. But then, there are reasons to appreciate some of Trump’s policies. We give credit where credit is due when the President cut off funding for forced abortions in China, and opened up the gates for Christian freedoms. This program includes: 1.

There is a lot of bad news in the surveys, when it comes to the millennials leaving the faith, etc. But, here's the really good news. Here's who is keeping the faith. What is happening with Evangelical Christianity? There is no question that Christianity is shifting to a minority position in the West, but there is a core that is hanging on strong. Where are the bright lights? Does the faith have a future in this country? The answer is a resounding YES! This program includes: 1.

Four women. Prophetesses of the new age, leading the culture. What of the singularly strong influence of these women, such as Stephanie Meyers, E.L. James, J. K. Rowling, and Suzanne Collins? These are the select women who bear immense influence on popular audiences, mainstreaming the gospel of nihilist sexuality, cannibalism, homosexuality, witchcraft, and pagan gladiatorial games. Kevin Swanson contrasts the influence of 21st century best selling authors with that of 18th century best-selling authors (like Jonathan Edwards, John Bunyan, Increase Mather, and Phillip Doddridge), and that of the 19th century apostates. Something happened at the turn of the 19th century. Something wicked this way came. This program includes: 1.

It was July 25, 1993. A cadre of terrorists entered a church building in South Africa, in what turned out to be the most dramatic church attack in modern history. Armed with AK-47s and grenades, they were prepared to kill hundreds of parishioners. There was, however, something they were not counting on - Charl Van Wyk and his 38 special revolver. Kevin Swanson interviews Charl on this experience and a more recent attack that occurred in July, 2008. Sometimes loving your neighbor as yourself does require obeying the Nehemiah 4:14 mandate. With the recent rise of church shootings and the progressive decline into anarchy in some western states, this discussion should be of particular interest those responsible for caring for families and churches.

Americans are going mad, and the country went over the edge about twelve years ago. More American soldiers are dying from suicide than combat.
