Homosexuals, Surrogate Kids, and Other Sex Crimes Monday, October 19, 2009
This Brave New World
Arnie signs a couple of homosexual bills in California. Meantime homosexuals hire surrogate wombs in India to carry "their children." Out in North Carolina, registered sex offenders are prohibited from attending church. So what does the Bible say about things like sperm donations, surrogacy, and sex crimes? Kevin Swanson addresses the role of the civil magistrate and the church in a society that is unraveling faster than ever before.

What to do about it
Parents complain about their sullen, ungrateful, slothful teens, and wonder what to do about them. Even some home schooled graduates are still sitting around the house, supremely unmotivated and unfocused. Maybe they’ve rejected the idea of college, but Plan B is a little fuzzy, and they’re making choices that are even worse.
Kevin Swanson provides some simple biblical answers to these all-to-common problems.

Kevin Swanson provides some simple biblical answers to these all-to-common problems.
As Modest as Dogs
University dorm rooms now allow opposite-gender roommates, and Miley Cyrus continues to lead the teeny-bopping 14 year old girls to maturity, which is another word for breaking the 7th commandment. With the world losing all concepts of modesty and sexual boundaries, Kevin Swanson suggests that it's time to drag out the old biblical standards, and re-examine them.

...and Hockey Moms
Are we really going to salvage a nation where 95% of those getting married confess to marital sex, with the "smoking-hot sexiest evangelical of them all?"
And if the nation's real problem is that 40% of children are born without fathers and the family is breaking down, how will we save this world by conservative talk show hosts working on their 4th divorce, and Republicans whose families are in shambles?
Kevin Swanson is working on Plan B, just in case the above doesn't work on this issue of the Generations broadcast.

...in Matters of Faith and Life?
The Sufficiency of Scripture Conference
In 1480, the devil had a problem, a big problem. . . Gutenberg. For the first time in hundreds of years, the Bible would be accessible to the ordinary fellow in the common tongue. So the devil had to come up with Plan B, fast.
Now practically everybody in America has access to a Bible, but it doesn’t make much of a difference anymore. Doctrinal systems were created, diversions introduced whereby the authority, the relevance, and the sufficiency of Scripture were undermined. This would become the undoing of the Christian faith in Europe, Canada, Australia, and America.
Kevin Swanson interviews Scott Brown on the Sufficiency of Scripture conference sponsored by the National Center for Family Integrated Churches in Cincinnati in December.

Interview: Alex Chediak
Over the last 20 years, both men and women show a considerable increase in age at marriage. Men are now on average two years older when they marry than the mean age of marriage for men in 1980. Women are three years older on average now, than the mean marriage age in the 1980. This does not bode well for Christians who want to retain values like sexual purity, the integrity of the family, and a selfless, anti-existentialist lifestyle that doesn't implode birth rates in all the western countries. Ironically, 86% of singles say they "want to be married."
Kevin Swanson interviews Alex Chediak, the author of an important new book on singleness for Christians. Alex provides some terrific wisdom for singles, but also some helpful advice for church communities who have an interest in launching young people into adulthood and marriage. The goal, of course is to get these young folks from singleness to marriage without sexual sin, emotional heartache, and excessive delay.

Gossip Girl and Anime
Culture Check
With every generation, the mainstream gets more edgy in their entertainment offerings. Kevin Swanson refers to a shocking cartoon feature in the Sunday Post, where a child calls for a human sacrifice, just to keep things "interesting."
Programs that used to push the edge like Three's Company move aside now for Gossip Girl and the sexual confusion that dominates in this sick offering from CW Network. Then, Kevin analyzes the latest fad with American kids, not to exclude Christian children – Japanese Anime and Manga.

Men who Won't Engage
So we have this society where 70% of young men are not grown up by 30 years of age, up from 30% in the 1970s. But what happens when some poor woman marries one of these men? Is she forced to wear the pants in the house while junior plays his video games and engages his sports hobbies?
Kevin Swanson speaks to an all-to-common struggle on the part of millions of Christian women across America. Society is changing dramatically and far more women will be the leaders, the producers, and the sustainers of homes in the next few decades.

Put Another Log on the Fire
In the interest of avoiding controversy, Kevin Swanson takes on this little bugaboo. Even asking the question can bring the wrath of the feminists down hard. Many believe that asking the question is sinful, but Kevin insists that asking the question is worthwhile, actually necessary. He doesn't believe there is anything sinful about asking the question, "Should my wife work outside of the home?" You may be surprised how he answers the question.

Political Correctness on the Job
As Ian McKellan (better known as Gandalf) rips Leviticus 18:22 out of hotel Bibles, guys are getting fired for their Christian views on homosexuality in Boston.
The next 20-30 years do not bode well for Christians who have decided not to join the slouch towards Gomorrah. As homosexuality continues to proliferate for another generation or so, Christians will have to learn how to function in the marketplace. Kevin Swanson gives some careful advice on how to ford these waters. Do you cast pearls before swine? What is it to be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves? How do you stand for the truth, and avoid providing implicit approval for the idolatry as you eat the food offered to idols?
If you or your children plan to be in the world at any time over the next 30-40 years, you should listen to this program.

Homeschooling Outlawed in Sweden
Often touted as a success story of socialism, Sweden is now turning into an oppressive nations for those who want to homeschool.
Mike Smith, president of HSLDA joins us to discuss homeschool freedoms in Sweden and Germany, and the battles that were fought in the 1980s and 1990s to codify homeschool freedoms here.

Obama's Most Important Accomplishment
One year after the election, America's 41st president has already clicked off a number of items on his agenda. But what is his most important accomplishment? Foreign policy. Socialism. Hate crimes. Economic recovery. None of these will come close to Obama's most important accomplishment in his first year as president of the United States.

Breaking Down the Family
Over 50% of children in America will receive their food from the federal government by way of food stamps. And now government is seizing control of healthcare as well, not to mention its almost complete hold upon higher education and K-12 schools.
It is a truism that the family is no longer as strong as it was fifty years ago. . . No debate on that one. But what have governments been doing to assure the breakdown of the family in west?
Kevin Swanson outlines the steady efforts made by government to erode family solidarity, and what families need to do to begin to oppose these efforts.

America's Gibeah
Occasionally, something extraordinarily horrifying happens that indicates the magnitude of the depravity to which a nation has sunk.
Last week, a 15-year-old Christian girl at Richmond High School received the Gibeah treatment, and shock waves reverberate across the country. So far nobody has cut up a concubine and sent pieces across the country, and civil war may not be imminent. . . yet.

The Power of Peers and Media
Who or what has the most profound influence on your child? Who or what forms his attitudes, perspectives, morals, and loves? If a child gets 32 hours a week of television, 25 hours a week of classroom instruction, and 28 hours a week with peers, what in the world will a 30-minute Sunday School Lesson on "Jonah and the Whale" do for him?
Kevin Swanson compares the various influences on young children today, and concludes that peer-group contact is the most powerful for the average kid. Focusing on Proverbs 13:20, ("He who walks with wise men will be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed"), Kevin contrasts the kid who walks with wise men with the companions of fools.

How America Became a Socialist Nation
The front page of Newsweek magazine screams out, "We're all socialists now!" And we're finally starting to believe it. But how does a nation turn from freedom to almost absolute government control, where the state controls 70% of higher education, 95% of K-12 education, 65% of the economy, and 35% or rather, 75% of healthcare? First off, it's not because a president is shoving socialism down our throats. And you can't blame George W. Bush for it either, although everybody plays a part in it, of course. It is because our sons and daughters are raised TO BE SOCIALISTS.
R.C. Sproul Jr. joins us on the Generations broadcast to explain how we raise our children to be socialists. . . And how not to.

The Scourge of Islam
Over the first 50 years of the last century, there were only 20 recorded terrorist events. This year, we have had 199 so far, and the year isn't even over yet.
Terrorism is on the increase in many nations for several compounding reasons – tyranny and anarchy grow together, people have access to technology – they know how to build bombs, there are far more larger metropolitan areas today, and. . . the scourge of Islam has proliferated.
Here Kevin Swanson interacts with the front page of the newspaper, and contrasts worldviews. Why is Christianity far more peaceful and freedom-loving than the two other predominant worldviews that control national governments - Islam and Humanism? This edition of Generations provides helpful information on the theology, the metaphysics, and the ethics of Islam, and will equip you and your children with a robust apologetic for the Christian faith.

Interview: James Lansberry
With the socialist noose tightening and as Congress considers mandating expensive health insurance on American families, Kevin Swanson suggests an island of freedom for those people who still want it.
According to James Lansberry, Vice President of Samaritan Ministries, the language in the current healthcare reform bill still exempts Healthcare Sharing Ministries from this mandatory insurance (check out pages 103 and 199 of the bill). Some estimates put these insurance mandates at a cost of $18,000 per family, per year. Not only do these ministries save families hundreds of thousands of dollars in premiums over 10-20 years, but they may be the only island of freedom to keep us out of socialist systems heading towards euthanasia and infanticide for the less fit.
THIS PROGRAM CONTAINS VITAL INFORMATION for those families who are concerned about the rapid changes ahead, as post-modern society moves ahead with a Brave New World.
