How Churches Are Disintegrating the Family - Are Sunday Schools of the Devil?

July 12, 2011
The breakdown of the faith seems to attend the breakdown of family relationships. But what is the real problem with church ministries? Is it the toxicity of the adolescent peer group and its corruption of the youth? Is it the lack of meaningful integration of the older and the younger in the same social setting? Is the church aiding and abetting the disintegration of the family in the present age? Are Sunday Schools the real problem, or do we have deeper problems? Are the current systems just watering down the doctrine of the church, the discipleship methodologies, and the relationships necessary to disciple the next generation? Is all of this "ministry" just too shallow, too insipid to meet the relentless series of tidal waves of apostasy that are rolling over the church in the west?

The verdict is in - Casey Anthony has been acquitted of murder, but how should Christians respond? Many are celebrating because “the system worked” while others are as angry as a wasp that had its nest broomed. The prosecution, with the aid of the media, did a good job of convincing everyone that Casey was a bad person, but that does not make her a murderer. Dave Buehner lays out some often neglected and ignored Biblical principles of justice and Biblical law to help frame the Anthony verdict, or even the OJ verdict, not in emotional terms, but in terms of the law of God. Some listeners may find what the Bible actually says quite surprising.

Interestingly, the most godless states in America also happen to be the most "educated" states. If the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God, will this "education" you get in American universities make you wise, or just godless? What happens to states that abandon the fear of God, over a period of 100 years or so? Kevin Swanson monitors the decline of the western world, and assigns the blame to the increased secularization of education.

Today, we interview Andrew Rappaport on the challenge of street evangelism and apologetics as well as the great blessings that attend this work.

Is America the best country in the world? Or is America the worst country in the world? It’s getting harder to tell as the years go by, at least if you look at the state of the family in this country. We are quickly losing faith, family, and freedom in this once great nation with rich Christian roots. Prosperity may be soon to grow wings and fly away as well. But will freedom ever return to our world? As long as you live here or anywhere, you have a responsibility to see to it that all of your institutions and relationships improve according to the standards of God’s Word. Some nations will always be better than others, because they better conform to the standards of God’s Word. Kevin Swanson gives a message of vision and hope for tens of thousands who want to be part of another “Mayflower,” for those who want to be a blessing for many generations to come. Here is the core message delivered to the Indiana Home Educator’s convention at Indianapolis in June of 2011.

The post-modern world has jettisoned any possibility for absolute truth, and thereby removed itself from any meaningful conversation concerning ideas. Meanwhile, Christians are finally returning to the worldview discussion, suggesting that there is a possibility for truth. Yet sadly, few Christians are really equipped to enter the discussion. Only 8% of American Christians have even the basic constituents of a biblical worldview. Enter Dr. Del Tackett and the Truth Project from Focus on the Family. Here is a significant program that is working to re-establish a solid worldview foundation for Christians who have learned a little story about Jesus, but are sadly lacking in their understanding of things like truth, God, man, law, and sin.

Ken Sande heads up what could be the most important ministry in the country. It is a ministry that lives the Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching the life of forgiveness and forgiving. In a world of divorce, faux love, church splits, church hoppers, and broken relationships, Jesus really does bring reconciliation, forgiveness, and authentic, relational life. In this 30 minute interview, Ken shares a little from his helpful little book, "Everyday Conflict Resolution." These are the nuts and bolts of true relational life, for those that are drawn to it.

Kevin Miller, Author of the book, “Virtue Locally, Freedom Nationally or Socialism,” questions the value of government-instituted abstinence programs.

With the average kid in America taking in 12-13 hours of electronic media per day, we are calling Christian parents to discernment in this area. How much media is too much media? And where does media interrupt family relationships? Does media desensitize us to the things that are most important in life? After watching 67 murders in an “Action Film,” are we more sensitive to the horrific character of murder or less sensitive? Phillip Telfer from Media Talk 101 is in studio with us, as we discuss the power of media and it’s potential to do much harm.
