The Generations Radio Program

We take a look at Babylon Bee and the Christian use of satire on this edition of the program. Can you overuse satire when mocking aspects of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? What about the use of sarcasm or attack humor in the home?  Will the use of satire strengthen the fear of God or weaken it in your life?   These are important and intensely relevant questions for every Christian.  

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...

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...

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 F...

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.  

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...

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...

 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 tea...

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. 

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?  H...

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?

More people are bringing their emotional support animals (like peacocks and chickens and. . .) on the airlines.  Emotional fragility and mental instability increasingly characterizes a nation on the edge.  But, what is the problem with the over focus on victimhood? Victimhood fails to come to grips with the holiness of God.

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 ci...

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 in...

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...

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 t...

In the wake of another school shooting, the media continues its endless search for motive.   More importantly, what is the heart of it?  And what is the basic worldview of the modern rash of serial killing in America?  We analyze Eric Harris’s diary, David Berkowitz’s testimony, and Jeffrey Dahmer’s interview with Stone Philips on Dateline.  Sadly, we come back to Charles Darwin and Friedrich Niet...

Josh Harris’s book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye , sold 1,000,000 copies, and he’s regretting the book. We come back to the question of risk and fear.  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 wave...

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....

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 abou...

A PCA elder from Houston is running for Governor of Texas, and he says he is 100% in support Roe V. Wade.  We also look at the record of the Methodist church, beginning with a Methodist pastor who conducted the Sand Creek massacre in Colorado, possibly the worst Native American massacre of women and children in history.  Then, we take a look at how the Methodists in the Rocky Mountain region are t...

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 tha...

Parents need to be aware of the sad cases of abuse related to gymnastics and sports in general. How did this Larry Nassar "get away" with twenty years of abuse 265+ little girls? Here is systemic failure at multiple levels. A Christian woman broke the case open and we commend her for it. But, what can parents do to avoid this nightmare? We mention multiple risk factors related to gymnast...

Moody Bible Institute is in crisis now.  The story is pretty familiar for most if not all Christian colleges.  It’s the same old battle over biblical authority, inerrancy, and creationism.  The conservative theology professor is on ice, and the liberals gain ascendance.  Should you send your children to Christian colleges that give way to neo-orthodoxy and the typical slides into apostasy?

American churches have seen the first serious drop off in attendance in just the last seven years.   Evangelicals are apostatizing much faster than other denominations, especially on homosexual marriage - a 250% apostasy rate in the last 7 years.  And, America has finally seen a sharp drop off in the number of people who believe in creation.  The battle for the faith in America has reached the mos...
