A Double-Dip Recession - Hare-Brained Regulations, Recessions, and God’s Laws
May 30, 2011
A national uprising against colleges and university education continues with a stream of stories out of the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and other prominent news sources. Kevin Swanson pleads with his audience to think out of the box in the area of education. Consider mentorships, networking, entrepreneurship (if you’re cut out for it), and family economies. But what does a family do when the USDA fines their 15 year old son $90,000 for selling rabbits without a license? With the clear intent to squeeze out the little guy and squelch family economies and free market competition, the regulative society continues to grow (per an article from the Economist).

We have come a long way from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga (as the latest pop star). What we find with Lady Gaga is decadence, yes. But more fundamentally, it is the deconstruction of culture. What happens after Lady Gaga? What come next? After the deconstruction of post-modernism, comes what? An apocalyptic mood is spreading. There is a growing sense of economic, cultural, and social doom and gloom. Apocalyptic films are more popular than ever. Kevin Swanson discusses the idea of “judgment,” and the predictions of a wacky, shriveled old man in California on this edition of Generations.

Homosexual columnists are now admitting that their goal is to indoctrinate our children in the public schools. . . because that's the only way they can preserve their kind.

Kevin Swanson reviews the history of homosexuality, and reviews Iain Murray's new book, "The Undercover Revolution." Robert Louis Stevenson, Herman Melville, Lord Byron, Thomas Hardy, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Virginia Woolfe. These are just a few examples of dangerous humanist thinkers that destroyed the faith in the west.

The tornadoes hitting Missouri are no where near as powerful as what is going on in the heads of teens absorbed in the pop culture. Trace Embry from Shepherd's Hill Farm works with teens who check in to his program for help - most from Christian families. There is no more powerful influence on kids today. But its not just perversion. It's deconstruction of meaning and beauty. It is art that mocks at the viewers, and the viewers will pay to be mocked at. But the most painful part of it, is what it does to the younger generation. Some of these stories will curl the hair on your legs.

"We're so proud of you! Live your dreams! You are the future!" You've heard the cliche's that ramble off the podium at the graduation commencements. Kevin Swanson analyzes these, often empty aphorisms in light of biblical language and metaphysics. Almost half of college graduates from 2009 have yet to find a position in their career. We interact with these studies, as well as a video produced by the National Inflation Association relating to the quickly-collapsing college bubble.

Extensive surveys of Christian colleges indicate a fair amount of "religious" compromise, and a "house divided against itself." Incredibly, 78% of the Religion Department heads take the Old Earth Perspective, while only 35% of the Science Department heads take that position. What gives? Do these "Religion" guys know more about science than the "Science" guys? Here is an eye-opening program concerning the state of the faith in America, as Kevin Swanson interviews Ken Ham on the state of Christian colleges and universities in the United States.

Newsweek reports on a prominent evangelical family in America. Three of the children are divorced; there’s drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, spousal abuse, and alcohol abuse. Is this normative, or is there a different biblical model for family life? The weakness of the faith is obvious in the breakdown of the family in this country, but how do we build it back? Kevin Swanson interviews Voddie Baucham on his book, “Family-Driven Faith” on this edition of Generations.

What if man is responding to the wrong disaster? What if the problem is not so much man's industrial endeavors, as his materialistic, existentialistic, family-destroying ways? What if the Global Warming scare is just a detraction from the real issues? What if the godless schools and the character-less youth will destroy our nations sooner than our S.U.V.'s will? As scientists turn into alchemists, the statists find the pseudo-science produced helpful for the socialist agenda. Kevin Swanson interviews E. Calvin Beisner from the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance, on a prudent, biblical response to the rising eco-fascism of the day.

If the average child spends 5,000 hours with their peers over six years, is there any wonder that their hearts are primarily connected to the peer group? Children have different teachers each year, and as the years progress they spend less time with their families. So who really disciples the hearts of our children? Kevin Swanson and Mike Cheney discuss the power of peer discipleship on this segment of Generations.
