The Generations Radio Program

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. 

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 mandato...

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...

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...

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 re...

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 Ch...

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. 

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 Chr...

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 a...

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 chi...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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 fo...

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 divisi...

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 domina...

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...

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 forc...

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...

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 qualif...
