The Generations Radio Program

Justin Bieber and Kanye West are Christians now. . . or are they? What are Christians to think when they hear these announcements? Also, Christians encourage us to redeem "the things of the world," including Yoga, Halloween, and the rest. But, what does this mean? What is that we would reject about all of this celebration of the "Day of the Dead?" What is there to redeem?  

82% of evangelical children attend public schools, according to new Pew Research Data.  Does God have anything to say about the education of an 8-year-old child, or is it merely a matter of Christian liberty? What about the training of a child?  Scotland parliament has banned spanking, joining New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Greece, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, and other post-Christian countries.  Should...

Should we honor the idolatrous ways of the Aztecs and Mayans, the human sacrifices that went on with those natives on the American plains?   Should we gather around Mount Ararat to celebrate indigenous persons day? Or, do we honor Christopher Columbus?  The tendency is to throw the whole Christian influence of the last 2000 years out with the bathwater. Revolutionary generations consider themselve...

Here are ten things families fight over. The bathroom. Food. Money. Music. Who is to blame for forgetting this or breaking that thing? We cover the most common conflicts that occur in the home, and dig for root cause. Then, we discuss the best ways to handle conflict, and how Christ brings that blessed unity and peace in our homes. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam Mc...

The peak influence of the church in the western world occurred during the Puritan era, and Matthew Henry represents the great impact of this movement upon the world. Daniel Pugh is the director of a new documentary film on the life and times of Matthew Henry.  The tremendous persecution of these puritans and the powerful effect of family discipleship is seen with an influence that has reached the...

Christian homeschool parents are in prison in Cuba. More Christian parents and pastors are in trouble in China for attempting to give them a Christian education. We make the point that this is the core spiritual battle going on in the Christian world today. The tug-of-war is over our children. The pressures in America are different than China, but just about as strong. This program includes: 1. Th...

Is it poverty and unemployment that makes cities a rotten, miserable place?  Do we blame it on the poor? Or, is it the fact that people are breaking the commandments of God? The worst cities and most immoral cities in the country are San Francisco, Washington DC, Detroit, and Gary Indiana?   We point to abortion, welfare, sexual sin, and the like as the causes for destroying cities — which usually...

How does a criminal get arrested 40 to 50 times, and turn out to be the most prolific serial killer in US history?  Where was justice thirty years before he murdered all those people? Why does the modern world avoid justice, spanking, and consequences? What’s the worldview here? The message is clear.  If there are no consequences here on earth, maybe, just maybe there won’t be any consequences on...

“The Joker” is the most popular movie in the country now.  The move from sheer evil to a self-conscious ethical relativism happens quickly in these franchise serials. We review the Joker’s transition in worldview from tragedy to comedy, and then move to the director’s move towards complete metaphysical relativism. We also note that so far this year movies retaining a biblical worldview captured 0....

Christian families are getting persecuted badly in Cuba.  Here is a first hand report of Christian parents in prisons and work camps in Cuba for attempting to pull their kids out of public schools and homeschooling them. As with all communists and socialists, Christians are persecuted for keeping their kids out of the public schools and giving them a discipleship in the Lord.

In the year 2011, Time Magazine featured a front page article touting man’s overweening scientific optimism with these words: "Immortal by 2045." Three years later, the life expectancy of Americans dropped (for the first time in 150 years). "The boat is unsinkable, I tell you!" Man is still hoping that world unity will come by technology, prosperity will come by technology, and...

Lifeway reports that evangelicals are more committed to socialism, shutting down immigration, and healthcare than they are to the pro-life position. We conclude that this has everything to do with their media choices.  Evangelicals are 80% influenced by the left-wing media, and very little influenced by pastors and Christian news sources.  The majority of professing Christians do not care about wh...

The life of Cain and the loss of relationship in the modern world has been completed, finally.  Fully 95% of teens have a smartphone, and twice as many are “constantly on it” as were four years ago.  The average of age of kids getting into porn is now 11 years of age. Will parents get their kids away from peers now, or just let them wander into the wilderness East of Eden at 11 years of age?  Pare...

How much should Christians respond to these long and drawn out scandals, and the food fights between Fox News and CNN? When smoke bombs are going off in the post office, Christians know for sure that somebody is robbing the bank. What is the other scandal going on? What are the new organizations missing? We take a look at the real scandal of communism and abortion. We summarize the three most evil...

How are our liberties lost, decade after miserable decade?  Freedoms just sort of slip away, but how does this happen.  With the loss of fatherhood and manhood, comes the loss of everything — family, faith, and freedom. These things tie together.  Some men are still standing in the gap, however. Randy Wilson from Family Research Council challenges us to faith first and then action.  Will you stand...

The gender role blender is now blended into the gender blender one more time.  Now male athletes must be able play on female sports teams, because males and females and males who want to be females and females who want to be males are all to be treated equally on the same team. . . ? Should Christians be pulled into these quandaries? Are we forced to the same definitions, the same terms, and the s...

Europe and Asia have rushed into bonds yielding negative interest rates — some $13 trillion of these bonds.  55% of the world economy is moving towards negative interest rates. We’ve never been this far down the Keynesian road before. We examine the life and record of John Maynard Keynes, the man behind the $22 trillion of US federal debt, and the rest of it in Europe and Japan. Then, we recommend...

Peter Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend and would-be president, believes the Bible allows for abortion until a baby takes his first breath.  You’ve heard the phrase, “This is something we can all interpret differently.”  The Bible becomes silly putty in the hands of men who twist it to their own destruction. We draw in 2 Peter to the present apostasy, again. And, we point out that the Bible distingui...

It is a monumental time in human history as we witness the collapse of the greatest star system in human history. Television stars have barely half the importance they had 4 years ago. Popular music system is 1/10 the size of what it was in 1999. Hollywood is 1/2 the size of what it was in national influence. The Academy of Emmys was an embarrassment this year even with popular media. The great an...

Christian-produced film is coming into its own after a decade of work.  The Kendrick brothers put the genre on the map with films like Fireproof and Courageous. Even Rotten Tomatoes had to reluctantly give their latest production, “Overcomer,” a 50% positive rating, along with the 98% audience approval rating.  Why was this movie so engaging and so powerful on the audiences? Why is the world incap...

He has his own coffee shops now. . . 825 of them in Europe. Nero is turning into the "good guy" in history.  When worldviews shift, the good guys turn into the bad guys, and the bad guys turn into the good guys. Is that what is happening with Nero, the arch-tyrant of history? National Geographic suggests that this may be the case. Kevin Swanson speaks of Nero's legacy, as well as wh...

The rapidity with which the Boy Scouts have come down after welcoming homosexuality and gender fluidity is breathtaking. The period of time between the celebration of a sin and the manifestation of the destructive effects of the sin has decreased significantly in just the last ten years. The Washington Post is concerned, and the conservative world critiques.  But, why doesn’t the world talk about...

We were surprised to read that the pope had switched religions. He has come out and confessed him to be a new humanist, advocating an education that puts man in the center, instead of God.  He is calling for an internationalized education, quoting Hillary Clinton’s “It takes a village to raise a child.”  Humanism has crept in and dominated education over 800 years, but now humanism has become the...

Why must EVERY Christian star who wants to make it in the big time, from Carrie Underwood to Lauren Daigle, make proper prostrations to the gods of homosexuality? Why must they pass muster on the Ellen Degeneres show? Daigle is the biggest Christian (female) star of the last twenty years—but will she stand up for Jesus Christ as Lord? Why must we shift to pronouns when we speak of the Lord in popu...

Military and police work is part of God’s ordination, and yet there are spiritual, mental, and emotional challenges involved — often after retirement. Is PTSD a real phenomenon, and what does it look like?  How does one minister to men who are suffering from PTSD after a career in the military? Here is one man’s story of the intensity of real battle, the return home, and the spiritual challenges h...
