The Generations Radio Program

Barna Research’s recent numbers find that only four percent of millennials now hold to a biblical worldview, and that’s roughly the percentage of those who were homeschooled. Another survey from Pew finds about half of evangelicals hold to new age beliefs. Could it be a result of 15 years of twenty minute self-help sermons? How does a church build in a rock solid rooting and grounding in a biblica...

Can the drug problem be fixed by regulation or deregulation or education?  If it is a worldview problem, then how would you fix that?  Nations are finally giving up, and they are deregulating suicide and drug use.  America is ahead of the curve on this, with 9 states legalizing pot and some 31 states allowing medical use of it. We take a look at a biblical view of the legalization of drugs, and th...

Respected Christian pastors and theologians are getting tattoos. 40% of millennials get tattoos. Is that about half of your friends and relatives? To what ends might we go in order to relate to the people with whom we are sharing the Gospel? What about the other accouterments of pagans -- cannibalism, drinking blood, body mutilation, spiritism, prostituting daughters, and androgyny? Will the rest...

How does the modern culture compare to that of previous centuries? Where are the modern trends taking us? Today, man is seeking to define his own reality, meaning, and purpose. These philosophies come through in the post-modern art he produces. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the destructive nature of it on this edition of the program, and come back to our call to live to glory of God.

This is a monumental, historic moment in the history of the country.  With the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the somewhat pro-life, constructionists have the majority on the nation’s highest court.  Will this mean the reversal of Roe v. Wade? Can we expect the Republicans to reverse the trends or just rein in the constant legislating from the bench that has characterized the court since...

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 7 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 G...

Is a revival of humanist classical education working to destroy home education and Christian education in this country?  A catalog promoting “classical education” announces that “humanism is exactly what is NOT wrong with the modern world and modern education.”   Chrysostom Called the Greek philosophies as worthless as dogs.  Augustine calls Homer “a torrent from hell.”  And Jerome called the Gree...

Nothing is more disturbing than the lack of spiritual power and the breakdown of the church, and the handing over of our children to the nurturing systems of the enemy.  We interview Joel Saint, organizer of the Future of Christendom conference in Pennsylvania, and Erick Rivas, organizer of the Sufficiency of Scripture conference in South Texas.  At the end of the day, what the church needs most i...

What happens when a society removes all social restraints? Shame is out of vogue these days.  The Christian church attempted to prop up a few fences and restraints in the 1990s, but that proved rather ineffective as well.  The bitterness and rejection of celibacy, virginity, and courtship indicates there wasn’t much of a heart change.   Yet, the consequences of a shameless, permissive society will...

The mega church leader, Andy Stanley told his congregation of 34,000 recently that the Ten Commandments no longer apply. He would rather post the Sermon on the Mount over the Ten Commandments in public places. Only trouble is, the Sermon on the Mount would be more controversial than the Ten Commandments. How do the Ten Commandments relate to the command to love? We also deal with the distinction b...

As Christians, should we immediately rush in to defend Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the drinking parties with the guys, and the rest of it?  Politics and media have idealized the highest forms of hypocrisy, but we as Christians must stick to biblical principle in the present hearings.  Has Mr. Kavanaugh been too cavalier about the drinking parties and the underage drinking?  We also examine the move on...

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 predominatel...

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 w...

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?  O...

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.

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...

Should your children go into acting, produce movies,  and get involved in Hollywood?  The industry is often clogged up in egos, pride, lust, and idolatry.  We discuss the need for Christians in the arts with Dan Nuckols, film producer and artist.  He introduces the film, “Oh Aching Soul” on this edition of Generations. 

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 chil...

Why are kids leaving the churches in droves? Pew Research digs into the reasons, and finds it is the evolutionary thinking, philosophical skepticism, and the vacuity of modern church theology.  The teaching is just too insipid.  How do you equip your young teens to face the world of skepticism?   We discuss both evidentialism and presuppositional apologetics on this edition of Generations. 

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...

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 slav...

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 huma...

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 Ju...

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 pre...
