The Generations Radio Program

Five-hundred years ago, a reformation was spawned that transformed the world. The world has never been the same. Even secular organizations like Transparency International have to admit that the best countries in the world were nations impacted by the Protestant Reformation 500 years ago. What was this Reformation? How did it come about? How did it affect entire nations, science, politics, music a...

A Baptist Church in Los Angeles is incorporating worship music replete with the F-word, the S-word, and other expletives. . . in the interest of relevance. What is this “relevance” thing? This pastor is tired of hypocrisy, so what’s the solution? Let it all hang out. We discuss the desperate quest for relevance, and contract it with the need for holiness in the church today. This program includes:...

Would Jesus be on the right or on the left in the political spectrum? Would He be a Republican or a Democrat? The problem with these political parties is that none of them are interested in defining right and wrong by God’s laws. When it comes to crime, the Bible does not want magistrates to be partial in their treatment of Republican murderers, Democrat murderers, Nazi murderers, or Communist mur...

The Game of Thrones rage rages on, setting new records in the seventh season. The HBO program is dividing evangelical Christians - John Piper and Kevin DeYoung on one side, and Relevant Magazine and Crosswalk.com on the other. What with 71 nude scenes, explicit rape scenes, and the stark nihilist worldview, too many Christians are positively in love with this show. What’s the attraction? Is it is...

Christian seminaries are now encouraging Christians to watch horror movies and participate in their creation. The latest box office horror film hit, Annabelle Creation, is taking in another $100 million. The movie set was blessed by a priest, so is it really going to be okay? It’s the Sons of Sceva production company presenting the Sons of Sceva attempting another futile exorcism. Do we capitulate...

Christians are sometimes encouraged to support tyranny. . .or anarchy. Both are dangerous. With the increase of socialism, big government, and the rising police state in America, Christians should get back to biblical law. What does the Bible say about the police state? Why should we prefer biblical justice over the regulative state? These are important questions considered on this edition of the...

70,000 people are expected at the Wicker Man ceremony in Black Rock, Nevada next week. The tradition harkens back to the Celtic human sacrifice of the BC days (Before Christ). It’s called “radical inclusion” or “radical polytheism” to the point of embracing human sacrifice. Will Christians accommodate human sacrifice as they have the sin of homosexuality? Who are the leaders in the Christian evang...

America is facing the possibility of nuclear attack from North Korea. Or is America’s real problem with China? Or is America’s real problem with God? The media does not help us maintain proper perspectives, because the media is more about sensationalism, and does not order its thinking by a biblical ethic. The empire is cracking. China’s GDP is 30 times what it was 20 years ago, and the United Sta...

The 2017-2018 school year introduces a whole different level of ungodliness for government schools in Washington, Hawaii, and Minnesota. Washington State school districts are mandating gender fluidity lessons for five year olds. We are finally asking the question. What would be wrong with sending Christian children into a whorehouse for their K-6 education? Should the answers be obvious? This prog...

CNN does a long, positive piece on Rob Bell, who is touring the Bible Belt as the "outlaw pastor." Rob is an apologist for doubters, and offers group therapy for those who have made their way out of the Christian church. But, we’ve been on this merry-go-round before. Kevin Swanson points out John A.T. Robinson, Paul Tillich, Jeremy Bentham, and Henry Ward Beecher worked the same gig in p...

As persecution rises and vindictive opposition against the church turns violent, should churches arm the leading brethren? Should churches lock and load? Kevin Swanson interviews Carl Gallups, author of a new book called, “Be Thou Prepared. . . Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble.” What about “Turn the other cheek?” Should Christians press the laws of God and fight for their...

Is it only patriarchalists that oppose feminism? Must everybody else embrace feminism, and reject the Apostles Peter and Paul's admonitions to women to submit to their husbands? We take a careful look at the biblical admonitions, and then we cover the sordid history of 19th Century feminism with all its support of witchcraft, spiritism, prostitution, and suicide. Who would ever support such a...

Young men are increasingly troubled by pornography, and the question arises. . . should they marry at all? How long of a clean track record in regards to porn might be appropriate before a young woman risk a marriage with him? Two million less people were married last year in this country vs. the year before. We cover the various causes that are contributing to the delay of marriage. This program...

After Obergefell, the courts are now wrestling with marriage for guys who are in love with their laptop computers and polygamists. Lawsuits are flying right and left for zoophiles, polygamists, and machinists. The machinist is in love with machines. It’s genetic. They don’t do well with real people. They’ve already been depersonalized. It’s love according to their own definitions. And, it fits rig...

Rest in peace, Charlie Gard. We provide the moral of the tragic story of Charlie Gard. It’s time to repeal the British National Health Service Act of 1946. The story has stirred up concerns about parental rights and state control over the life and death issues. The answer to such ethical conundrums, however, is very simple. Stop stealing and allow families to make these decisions. This program inc...

We call America to repent, but what is that? Repentance is an oft-neglected doctrine in the church, and this may be the reason for so many false gospels and false conversions in the church. On this program, we explain the doctrine of repentance and its continuance through the Christian life. It is not a matter of outward deeds, it is a state of mind, a renewal of the mind. This program includes: 1...

The Chinese Communists are working to eradicate Sunday Schools and Christian Summer camps. Why do communists hate Sunday School so much? And, why do socialists hate family discipleship? The Communist Manifesto called for “replacing home education with social.” The state owns the children, and cannot tolerate a single hour of children discipled by their parents or by a discipler in the church. But...

Two lead singers for major metal rock bands have committed suicide over the last two months. The chickens have come home to roost. The ideas have borne the consequences. Linkin Park’s Lead Singer committed suicide, but not before he influenced a young man, Matthew Murray, to conduct a shooting massacre in Colorado. Teen suicides doubled, and then doubled again, and then doubled again since the 196...

The most famous Atheist in the world, Richard Dawkins, is pulled from a program by the most liberal radio station in California. . . over his comments on Islam. Atheists are attacking Islam. The Polytheists are attacking the Atheists. And the Christians are increasingly irrelevant when it comes to the future (at least according to a new study of birth rates). Christians and atheists agree on lower...

A group of four teams of homeschooled students from America took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place in the International World Debate Tournament in Prague. How do such "unsocialized," "uninstitutionalized," backwoods families succeed in the international scene? We discuss how values clashed, how modern education dumbs down, and how homeschooling really works. This program includes: ...

Western culture is spiraling into paganism fast. Miley Cyrus makes an excellent case study for the slow but steady decline from her Baptist background to apostasy, sexual chaos, and self-destruction. How do these cultural icons lead the current apostasy? Kevin Swanson also distinguishes between true cannibals and Rihanna. Why is Nathaniel Hawthorne more dangerous than Aristotle? Why are the modern...

The polemical guy is not very popular these days. Is there any place for preaching against Rob Bell, Joel Osteen, Andy Stanley, or some other big preacher guy or religious writer in the church? The folks sitting in the pews have access to books, podcasts, radio programs, etc. from who knows who these days. Should the preacher warn them about this book or that book? Is it possible to get too picky?...

Republicans are no longer favoring college as they once did. Only 36% of Republicans favor college, down from 58% seven years ago. Finally, red state families are growing tired of sending their kids into the blue city colleges. The rebellion is growing. But, what are the alternatives? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Charlie...

For 1500 years, cremations disappeared in Christian countries. But, last year cremations outnumbered burials in America for the first time. We look at the recent history of cremation, and then ask the question, “Is it a sin to cremate?” Does the Bible ever allow for it? The more important question however is this. . .Why would you want to cremate your loved ones? This program includes: 1. Generati...

You know God’s judgment comes on a nation when babies are ruling, when children are oppressing the people from their highchairs in Washington, DC and Ottawa. Canada’s prime minister marches with proud homosexuals, celebrates Ramadan, persecutes Christians, dedicates $650 million to killing babies, and gives terrorists $8 million of tax monies. We take up the question whether 15-16 year old kids sh...
