Should Christians compost their bodies? Should they cremate their relatives and tattoo their bodies?   What would post-Christian Christians do in a post-Christian world?  We take up the controversial topic of cremation, starting with what the Bible says about cremation, and defining Christian culture.  Christians would live out their worldview of resurrection.  If they REALLY believed in the resur...

We review the two developments going on in films and popular culture, focusing on the escapism in sci-fi and fantasy films. The Golden Globes lead the way on mainstreaming Leviticus 18 perversions.  We compare the present offerings to AD 78 Pompeii. 

The college bubble has burst, or at least it is deflating fast.  Enrollment has dropped by 1 million students in six years. . . that’s like 100 major colleges going out of business.  The secular college is consuming itself when it denies the beginning of knowledge as the fear of God.  It has undermined its own foundations, chopped off its own legs, and burned all of its capital.  The college girl...

The younger generation in America today is quite a bit poorer than the young generation was in 1989 . . . by 70%! The fact is that the character of the nation has fallen off the cliff and is careening downwards fast. Put away your red MAGA hat. Forget the wall. America needs to rebuild her foundations. We provide several basic foundational lessons for rebuilding the foundations of character in fam...

It should go without saying that the church in America is in bad need of reviving.  The spiritual needs run deep. Evangelicalism is in crisis. Now pastors in America are rising up and calling for reform, and praying for reviving. Now, as the nation faces what appears to be more division and turmoil (and what appears to be a serious decline in Christian worldview thinking among evangelical and othe...

Pastors in America still have an opt-out for the social security program.  Social security is not an annuity.  It is not insurance.  But, is social security a welfare program? We give pastors reasons to exempt from social security, and some guidelines that might be helpful if pastors are considering it. 

Something is wrong with American children.  Some 32 million children have chronic illnesses, and a ground breaking new study of 600+ homeschooled children finds multiple links to immunizations. Kevin Swanson reminds us that we live in a fallen world, and we need to moderate faith in modern medicine.  

The Urbana 2018 Student Conference is concerned about a “tainted Gospel” where Christians commit sins like patriarchy and environmental racism, and they play monopoly to boot (which is not Jesus).  Instead of disciple-ing the nations, what are these college ministries doing?  They confuse the issues, they refuse to define sin by the commandments of God (which is what Jesus told us to teach the nat...

Why do Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Carter confess Christ, but so far there hasn’t been a public confession from President Trump? Only President Donald Trump neglected to recite the Apostle’s Creed at President George H.W. Bush’s funeral. We go over the public testimonials of faith in Christ from the presidents. Then we study the basic faith of the Apostle’s Creed, and how the idea of "sin&...

The box office has turned almost 100% fantasy, as all five of the 2018 box office blockbusters were fantasy/sci fi/super hero films.  Modern man has walked over the line of despair and he has almost completely rejected any contact with reality.   It is the last few breaths of a dying empire.  Can you hear the wheezing?  But, the good news is that Christian film is on the comeback.  Between 2013 an...

Purity rings, purity vows, purity ceremonies, and dances were popular for a few decades among Christian groups.  But, problems developed when the little boys didn’t grow up and girls couldn’t get married. Immaturity dominated, on-line porn took the boys down; and combining vows of celibacy with a delay of marriage (and a reputation of young marriages) was a killer for evangelicals. Why aren’t our...

Here is a full view of everything that happened in the world in 2018 in twenty minutes. Join Kevin Swanson for a quick flyover the last year, for a big picture look at what happened in America and around the world.  It was the year that evangelist Billy Graham died, and it was the year that evangelicalism died. 

The Christian colleges, evangelical denominations, and seriously mixed-up Christian leaders ball up social justice, feminism, me-too, and race conflicts into one big confusing package. And now, Calvinists and reformed people are accused of accommodating domestic violence and opposing social justice, because they think objectively about stuff. However, these pet issues as presented usually lack cla...

The only good news going on in western civilization seems to be happening in America — the evangelical birth rate is finally on the rise.  All other birth rates around the developed world are imploding.  Japan will probably lose about 2/3 of its people, and not be a nation by 2100.  Korea isn’t doing any better. But, the birth rate is not the only indication of life in a church. Life comes when we...

Here is the story of reversal — a reversal of a vasectomy, but more than that. The Christian life brings reversals and repentance as the mind is renewed according to the will of God. Here is the story of tragedy and triumph. It is the story of life-changing reversals followed by the blessing of God. It is the story of the Christian life.

America is turning increasingly materialistic, and this seems to be increasing debt and consumeristic spending. How to avoid all of this materialist trap?   Giving, gratitude, and stop stealing.  This is the best approach to preparing for the next great recession.  

A priest is in trouble for suggesting that a teen who committed suicide might not go to heaven. Is suicide the unforgivable sin? The life expectancy in America has fallen off for the first time in 100 years — because Americans are killing themselves. Suicide and drug overdoses are bringing the American life expectancy down fast. We discuss the biggest causes for the increase in suicide and despair...

The dangers of hierarchy and centralization of power in the church seems to produce corruption, lack of accountability, demagoguery, abuse, and all the rest.  The Protestant Church and the Roman Catholic Church are in all out crisis mode now.   The image of the Roman Catholic Church is befouled and apparently unsalvageable now.  What can be done?  A return to decentralized elderships and a rejecti...

The National Association of Evangelicals which includes the EV Free Church, the Presbyterian Church of America, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Vineyard, and others have endorsed a plan to include homosexuals under federal nondiscrimination laws. This move sets real Christians up for persecution, while protecting fake Christians from persecution. The motions passed by the National Associa...

It was the 1920s in Germany. Homosexuality was on the rise. Immorality and decadence defined Berlin. The church was reduced to liberalism and pietism. The country was torn by economic stress. The time was right for Adolf Hitler, the great 'savior' of the people. Does any of this sound familiar? Kevin Swanson interviews Erwin Lutzer, author of a new book entitled 'When a Nation Forge...

There is a danger lurking when American pentecostals or baptists or anybody denies God’s sovereignty.  Although people may call themselves Christians, what happens when it turns out they are worshiping the wrong god?  When Benny Hinn’s nephew and assistant learns about the sovereignty of God, everything changes.  

Certain songs have been outrageously popular because they have broken through social mores and sexual barriers — and “Baby It’s Cold Outside”  is in that category. Is this woman more concerned about what her neighbors would think or what God would think, if she spends the night with this guy?  Are the Me Too people more concerned about a sin against God, or a sin against somebody else?   We also t...

Every pastor in America should hear this program! They came for the Mennonites, and I did not speak out.  They came for a Fundamentalist Baptist who read from Proverbs 13:24, and I did not speak out. . .  Although very few Christian ministries or news programs would cover this, there are real instances where Christians are going to prison in America.  A pastor teaches from Proverbs 13:24, and gets...

When it comes to an important step in the right direction, the Republican leadership in the Supreme Court and the White House will go the wrong direction — you can count on it. It was our last chance to defund Planned Parenthood for the foreseeable future, and again, the Republicans failed. Justice Brett Kavanaugh promised he would not reverse Roe v. Wade, and he is keeping his promise. Pro-abort...

God grows our faith and our love through trials.   In fact, these become some of the best opportunities in which to manifest love.  When a major trial like cancer hits, immediately God provides a wonderful field in which love may begin to function in the family and the church.  Marisa Henley, a survivor of a rare form of cancer, explains how to love your friend through cancer, based on her recent...
