Corrupting Science, Economics, and Politics

December 9, 2009
Amazing things are happening right now, just within the last 15 years. Cumulatively, we are witnessing the corruption of science. The same flimsy system of dating used in determining the age of fossils is dragged into dating ice cores to "prove" global warming.
But over in Washington, we are spending ourselves out of debt, with the largest deficits we've ever seen as a nation. With commercial real estate in decline, and the second wave of ARM's resetting, it’s not looking to good for the "recovery." Hang on folks! We have another dip on this rollercoaster. And some of us wonder if this one could fling us off the rails!
Kevin Swanson points out the concomitant breakdown of science, economic systems, and political systems in this segment of Generations. Should you abandon God's basic principles in the way you educate a populace, you will see the unraveling of nations.

Throw Government Money at It After 10 years of massive increases in government spending on education in England, it appears that there was no perceptible improvement in the academic performance of the students. Our country has seen education spending-per-student increase between 200 and 300%, adjusted for inflation since 1960, and results are dismal. In per student costs America spends more than all other nation in the world for its education system, yet lags behind other developed nations in reading, writing, and math. Kevin Swanson contrasts the secularist, godless model of education with the basic Christian principles concerning education, based in Scripture.

Reintegrating the Generations After 40-50 years of generational severance, while government social security programs enabled "independence" for retirees, things are starting to change now. The number of parents living with their adult children has risen 67% in just the last seven years. As economies fail, the social security fund empties out, and state welfare systems disappoint, Christian families will do what they've always done. They'll take care of their own elderly parents. This renewal of relational living is already coming back. Kevin Swanson interviews James Mill on the transitions, the challenges, and the blessings of bringing an ailing mother-in-law into the home.

When Men Face Sexual Temptation Tiger Woods. John Edwards, Ted Haggard. David Letterman. These men are known for a lot of things. They accomplished a good deal in their lives. But how will they be remembered by hundreds of millions of people? Some things that men do will tarnish their reputations forever. Some actions are more permanent. . . way more permanent. In the words of Proverbs 7, "She has cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." How many times has this been repeated in the history of the world? Thousands of times. . . every day.

High Tech Cannibalism Parents selling children into adoptions. Kidnappers grabbing children for body parts. From nations where the Gospel has hardly penetrated we hear stories that plumb the depths of human depravity. Unless otherwise informed, unwary westerners may back into some of the worst crimes going on in the world today. Brent Hample, president of India Partners speaks first hand concerning what he has witnessed in the dark land of India. Important issues discussed here, and vision imparted for taking the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ to a dark land. (But some content not for small children.)

Putting Families Back Together Generally, dysfunctionality breeds more dysfunctionality, and the family on a macro scale in America is soon to be no more. But occasionally families are salvaged, lives are put back together by the grace of God. Kevin Swanson interviews one family from a farm out in the middle of Missouri, that is doing what it can to train families in the principles of God's Word.

Practicing God's Law Exalts a Nation Is a cop-killer in Washington another Huckabee clemency case? The governor from Arkansas is gaining the reputation of being too soft on crime. Kevin Swanson speaks of his counsel he gave Huckabee's staff eight years ago concerning the prosecution of crime in the state Arkansas. Should a Christian ever make it into a position of authority in the civil magistrate, his agenda is pretty clear, and Kevin outlines this on today's Generations broadcast.

How Several Families Shook the Shackles According to a study produced by the Societe Generale Bank in France, debt in the richest economies are destabilizing the world economy, and may precipitate a worldwide depression. We are not out of the woods yet, especially since America is still using debt to work its way out of its current recession. Aging populations, a failure of the national character, and the debt burden are combining to produce a "perfect economic storm." Yet the macro economy is always made up of 100 million micro economies. So whether the future yields deflation or inflation, the message remains the same - GET OUT OF DEBT! This broadcast features a panel discussion with several average, ordinary, middle-class families who made it to FREEDOM! Kevin Swanson also encourages micro-economies and micro-communities where the majority of families within churches are debt-free and mortgage-free on their homes.

Dying of Loneliness and Boredom We live in the loneliest time in human history, at least in the last 1000 years. A higher percentage of people live alone or just live in cold, institutionalized setting than ever before. And it's bound to get even worse, especially with the elderly. In just 20 years, there will be 71 million retirees in America, twice the number in the country today. Kevin Swanson conducts a vitally important interview with Carmen Bowman, consultant for elderly care, and an advocate for relational, individualized care for the infirmed and suffering elders in our communities. Carmen issues a passionate call for more families to visit these needy, lonely folks. Occasionally the rubber hits the road on this broadcast, and we get to the practical ways to love our neighbor as ourselves. May God bless your family with more love as you listen!

PETA Thanks God for Nothing When you're not sure what your thankful for, why you should be thankful, and Who you should thank, let's face it, you're going to have a pretty dull thanksgiving. Kevin Swanson refers to the PETA advertisement that NBC rejected, and comments on what it must be like to be a humanist who rejects God as good and as the One who defines good. Do you thank yourself for everything, or do you thank cosmic dust for being cosmic dust? Yet for Christians, there is still the possibility of an absolute good, and a beautiful, thanksgiving filled with deep sentiments of warm gratitude.

More Dead Faith A Catholic Bishop asks Patrick Kennedy, (Ted's son) to forgo communion, because of his position on killing babies, and Pat is not very happy about it. So goes the controversy. But if we weren't just playing church and we were really holding the keys, would we really want to have communion with serial killers, rapists, and homosexuals? In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson discusses the importance of communion and meaningful spiritual accountability and leadership in the church. Faith without works is dead, and that goes for Patrick Kennedy too.
