Generations Radio

Salt, Yeast, and Light. Only 24 percent of all Americans say they know an evangelical person, and 53 percent say they know a homosexual person well, while homosexuals only make up 3-5% of the population. So what gives? Meanwhile, during the SB-200 hearings, an ACLU representative told a Judiciary Committee in Colorado that "religious people" better keep their religion out of the public forum. With homosexuals now well out of the closet, it appears that Christians have climbed back into it. If Jesus wants us to be salt, yeast, and light, what exactly does that mean? Does it mean we're going to make people uncomfortable with a message concerning sin, law, repentance, atonement, and stuff like that? Does it mean we're going to confront a culture with a message that could turn the world upside down by a different epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics?

Millennial Fever Strikes Again Admittedly, anybody who cares about the Christian faith, moral values, and the integrity of the family, is going to be a little pessimistic concerning present trends. Nevertheless, does this portend the end of the world? And do Christians discredit themselves when they attach a name to "the Antichrist?" Kevin Swanson brings a balanced look at how to read current events in light of the unfolding of the kingdom of God. With millennial fever fading, sensible Christians are once again setting themselves to the business of disciple-ing the nations and developing generational vision out of the ashes of dead humanist civilizations.

Planning Your Life Wise Words for Teens We want to talk about how to avoid becoming a 48 year old man in mid-life crisis. . . Or a 52 year-old washed-up, burned-out career woman, who missed God's calling on her life. . . Or a 28 year old professional student, who after 4 colleges and 6 majors is still wandering around California trying to find himself. Calling begins with a vision, something that most people don't understand because they were never taught vision in their conventional public school experience. In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson shares some wisdom concerning a life calling that should be taken into account in the raising of any and all of our children from the time they are 12 years old.

The Nuclear Warhead in the War of Ideas More powerful than buying every major media outlet in the world. . . More powerful than taking over the legislatures of this country and legislating against every sin that men commit (including abortion and homosexuality). . . More powerful than dropping 1 million tracts over every professional football game. . . The most powerful way to change the world is a really foolish tact - preaching. But preaching is passe', especially to a post-modern age that simply cannot tolerate any sense of absolutism or authoritative declaration. So what do we do, when nobody likes preaching and nobody wants to preach? Here is a powerful message to the post-modern world. Kevin Swanson discusses the biblical idea of preaching, and how we will warm our children to the idea.

Polished Cornerstones To even speak of the father-daughter relationship comes across as strange and even twisted to many fathers and young teenage daughters today. But the father-daughter relationship is key to preparing young women for their future families. Dysfunctionality in this relationship will only lead to more dysfunctionality in marriage and parenting later on. Therefore, this edition of Generations focuses on the hearts of fathers and daughters. How to heal the rifts. How a daughter can capture the vision of her father while she lives in his home. How a father can capture the heart of his daughter. David Barrett and his daughter Elysse have authored the new book "Fathers and Daughters," and they join us on this issue of the Generations radio broadcast.

Homosexual Indoctrination The Southern Baptists turned down two more attempts to caution their members concerning California public schools where the schools are required to teach the moral equivalency of all forms of sexual behavior, including homosexuality, transgenderism, etc. But will the Southern Baptists condemn the schools when they bring in mandatory, homosexual laboratories into California High Schools, when sodomites are tutoring all the young Christian Boys? Unless God's law is applied as the basis for ethics, the church will continue to follow the culture twenty feet behind on the slide into Gomorrah.

A Vision for Fatherhood In order for faith, family, and freedom to dissipate, it is absolutely essential that visionary, biblical fatherhood be completely eliminated from the homes across this nation. Thus, over the previous 4 generations, we have gradually lost a vision for fatherhood. That's why the turning of the hearts of the fathers to the sons is central to any meaningful reformation in the modern world. Listen to this important interview with Norm Wakefield from Spirit of Elijah Ministries on this critical need of the day.

Socialist, Communist, or Muslim - What's the Worldview? A unique candidate surfaces as the Democrat nominee for president of the United States. Incredibly popular with the masses, few have any idea of the man's basic ideology or worldview. Kevin Swanson takes a moment to analyze his positions on the issues, and then studies the Messianic complex found in many political candidates in our day, not to mention Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.

Jesus Gets Pretty Harsh Jesus recommends the millstone treatment for anybody who offends "one of the little ones who believes in Him." Meanwhile, teachers and administrators in Idaho discuss ways to teach 2nd grade children about the homosexual lifestyle. Here Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner discuss what parents might do to avoid the millstone treatment.

Where to Get a Vision Education is in decline. The character of a nation has fallen drastically. Morality is sinking to a new low. The idea of family has faded. Suppose you were a parent who was actually concerned about his children and their future. Would you be happy with the status quo? Suppose you were a parent who no longer trusted the professionals who put together the education systems about you. Where would you go for a vision for something better? In this segment of Generations, Vision Forum's Doug Phillips and Kevin Swanson talk about where you might find that vision.
