Crisis reveals who is truly your God!
September 11, 2009
On 9-11 as we watched the terrorist attacks on a civilian population America faced a crisis. The action we took in the aftermath revealed our true commitment to our core principles and our level of true fidelity to God. In spite of all the "In God we trust" bumper-stickers that were placed on bumpers, America instead placed their trust in a strong military and in a centralized government. It has been said never let a good crisis go to waste, that is exploit the unsettled emotions of the moment to get accomplished that which may be impossible to get accomplished when there is no perceived imminent threat. In crisis the righteous turn toward their sovereign creator, the unrighteous turn elsewhere. So far this year we have learned of the global warming crisis, the swine flu crisis, the credit in the markets crisis , the state budget shortfall crisis, the home foreclosure crisis and the year is not over yet. Perhaps the only real crisis is the lack of fear of God.

Will My Son Join the Armed Forces?
Interacting with an insightful story from the Wall Street Journal entitled, "Babies Win Wars," Kevin Swanson points out that the humanist nations are in the process of destroying themselves by their existentialist, materialist birth implosions. Post-modern humanists have lost the will to perpetuate their civilizations.
This leads to a discussion on whether we want our sons and daughters fighting for the republic on foreign soil. What would John Adams think about this? Kevin encourages involvement in the military for some of our young men, but issues a strong caution that they be well grounded in biblical principles relating to warfare.

Why We Don't Care about Evidence
A listener needs a little more back-up evidence for our condemnation of socialist healthcare systems, so we provide it. But this leads to a discussion on the vacuous theory of ethical utilitarianism, and why we don't really care about evidence. You run a society on what works or what you think might work based upon three failed experiments in history, you will probably fail. Try running a society on the laws of God and see what will happen!

How to Really Mess Up Your Kid
A public school math teacher in Oregon undergoes a sex change, where this guy Nick turns into Nicole. The principal calls it a teachable moment, so Kevin and Dave discuss a few other teachable moments your children might experience should they be attending the public schools.
But, parents be warned! There are so many ways in which a parent might mess up their childrens perceptions of themselves, gender, sexuality, and other elements of God's creation. Kevin Swanson refers to several examples where a child is stumbled by a parent who is not careful to train him in God’s laws relating to cross-dressing and other issues. This program is especially important for parents who are right now raising children in a pretty messed-up world.

Interview: Al Mohler
With the collapse of the faith in the western world (Europe and North America), and the simultaneous, temporary materialist-humanist rout of most developed countries, the future of Christianity is in the balance.
Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Albert Mohler from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary on the "End of Christian America." How will we possibly salvage the faith in the west? His answer may surprise you, unless you have listened to this program - Fathers.
Here is a powerful interview with one of the leading figures among those committed to digging in and fighting for a faithful remnant for Christ on this hemisphere.

Shepherding a Home or a Church
If you read the Bible, you find that God seems more concerned about shepherds than he does about the politicians. In other words, He's more concerned with Ted Haggard than he is with a Barach Obama. But what's a good shepherd? Is it the corporate VP in the pin-striped business suit, the fellow in the pointy hat, the motivational speaker in the untucked polo, or the guy slopping around the barnyard in muddy boots?
You will enjoy this practical interview on fathering, shepherding, or pastoring, with a pastor's pastor - Greg Thurston.

Eleven Years in the Movement
Having resigned as Executive Director of Christian Home Educators of Colorado after 11 years of service, Kevin Swanson reminisces on his experiences and how the vision sharpened over the years. In a world where fatherhood disappeared over 5 generations, where the culture disintegrated, where parent-child relationships were minimized and 64% of kids under 6 are latchkey, and where the reality of God faded, we began to envision a new world where fatherhood, family integration, and a biblical worldview was recaptured in the paideia of children.

Pastor's Kids
As a pastor himself, Kevin Swanson speaks to the challenge of raising authentic children who don't have to fake it because their dad is a pastor. Hypocrisy is only magnified when it manifests itself in the life of the guy doing the preaching. This Generations message is especially important for elders, deacons, and ministry leaders who are raising children during the greatest generational apostasy (numbers wise) in the history of Christianity.

Worldviews in Conflict
A principal and an athletic director in Northern Florida face criminal charges and up to 6 months in prison over a prayer uttered on school property (during off-school hours), as the secular state does everything it can to obliterate every tiny remnant of the fear of God from any part of the paideia of children in public schools.
Kevin Swanson contrasts the rising Muslim worldview to the secularist worldview and the Christian worldview on this segment of Generations, pointing out that humanists kill babies and imprison people who fear God and Muslims kill daughters who don't submit to their fathers in honor-killings. Meanwhile, Christians kill murderers but refuse to submit to a worldview that idolizes the state as a means of salvation.

Somebody Get Me Another Cigar
A church in Michigan wins $70,000 in the state lottery and appropriates the monies to the building fund. This initiates a conversation on a Christian view of gambling, playing the stock market, taking dominion, idolatry, and fun.

His day has come
"For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yes, you shall diligently look for his place, and it shall not be. The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming."
A sober edition of the Generations broadcast reviews the life of the man who led the march of a nation into the killing of 50 million babies, and into a national socialist experiment that ended in bankruptcy, and into a widespread endorsement of homosexuality, and the breaking of just about every one of the ten commandments.
