At one time, Christians provided hospitals through churches and charitable organizations, but that has changed with the present socialist and fascist approaches. However, these governmental solutions are fraught with pro-abortion policies, and systems that continue to corrupt the poor with each passing generation. The only possible resolution to this problem is found in biblical charitable solutions. James Lansberry from Samaritan Ministries shares the vision for the "Morning Center", a full service, maternity-care hospital for the poor. This is the next logical step for bringing a pro-life vision to bear in a Planned Parenthood - Roe v. Wade age. What Planned Parenthood has done over 75 years for the cause of a self-centered, materialistic, death-based culture, and what the state has done in ruining the inner-city family is impressive. But could a few Christians with a biblical vision make a real difference by creating one Christ-honoring, pro-life hospital for the poor pregnant mother who wants to keep her baby?

The present form of education doesn't quite find its roots in the Bible. Whatever we're doing in public schools and Christian schools often misses the mark. In this talk given to the Rocky Mountain Super Conference on the Family, Kevin Swanson makes the point that education is important, REALLY important to the future of a nation and the future of each of our children. But what is the best education for our children? Every loving parent wants to give his child the very best, and they know what thing for sure. They're not qualified to do it. So is it time to call in the professionals?

The U.S. Department of Education sets up conferences to enable the networking of homosexuals with young teens. As we recall, the pagan Greeks did the same kind of thing. But it didn’t work out so well. Some parents in America are doing what they can to add to the confusion in the gender blender by raising their boys as girls. Even Christian families are losing their high school-aged children to homosexuality and lesbianism in these schools. But how do we disciple our children who are given to sin, whether it be lesbianism, dishonor of parents, or lying? The issues are essentially the same. Kevin Swanson gets back to the basics on this edition of Generations. If God’s law provides the standard, now our children know the stuff they need to repent of. . .

There is no greater joy than to see our children walk in the truth. But what about generational squishiness? Or generational apostasy? This is more the rule today in Christian churches than the exception. There is hardly any greater pain than to see our children walk out of the truth. How do we prevent teenage rebellion, or at least minimize it? This question is particularly salient today with systemic failure everywhere. Fatherhood fails. Submission fails. Teens rebel. Pastors fail. Churches fail. About the best some churches can do is make sure the youth group stays edgier and more rebellious than the pastor's kids! Dr. Jeffrey Klick, an ex-mega church pastor explains his journey towards re-constructing a biblically-based social order. His new book "Generational Impact" addresses some of the foundational issues to consider as you seek to make a positive generational impact for the kingdom, in your family.

Kevin Swanson interviews Anita Mellott, author of the new book “School is Where the Home Is.” Everybody struggles with comparisons, perfectionism, and stress while raising children, but why do homeschooling moms face these things with astonishing regularity? Anita Mellott has encouraging words to say to mothers who are in the thick of it!

Why the Japanese Family is in Big Trouble Birth implosions. Abortion. Pornography. The hearts of father separated from families. Japan bought the materialist vision, hook, line and sinker after the war. They rejected the Christian worldview, and took the worst of the western worldviews. Now, they are paying for it. But what can be done with the Japanese social collapse? Where do we go from here? That's where Ray Suzuki comes in. Raised in Japan by a father with a vision, he forms a prototype for what could happen with millions of others in the next generation, and the next. Here is a discussion on missions and kingdom vision that could impact MANY cultures and nations around the world! (This program also includes info on dried squid and miso.)

This summer, Kevin Swanson is sitting around wondering where all the children went? Where are all of the sandlots? The children are nowhere to be seen. Why isn't anybody playing ball in the sandlots? Oh! The average kid spends 12-13 hours a day plugged into the electronic media! We have yet to understand the true effects of this huge mistake. Within 20 years or so, we'll at least get our hands around the magnitude of it. But it's not just kids. Wives are divorcing their husbands over addiction to World of Warcraft and other on-line games. We review computer games on this edition of Generations. Also we provide a list of four questions to ask before your family participates in computer games.

World magazine reports on the dating scene at Christian colleges, and finds much frustration on the part of girls (more so than boys) – not to exclude the girl-boy ratio, the immaturity problem, etc. Now some of these girls are having second thoughts about “kissing dating goodbye.” Without casual dating, how in the world will they get to know the boys? How is the half-way courtship model going to work for them? Of course, there is a missing piece in all of this. So what is the missing piece?

We all agree that governments do charity badly, very badly. But the church can make the same mistakes. Scores of well-meaning Christian pastors, deacons, and laity are taking the call seriously to help the poor and to visit the fatherless in their affliction. They throw their energies into “Short Term Missions,” inner-city relief, single mom assistance, and other efforts. But are they doing more harm than good? Brian Fikkert, co-author of the book “When Helping Hurts,” explains the method and goals of biblical charity. Giving ourselves up for Christ involves far more than throwing a few bucks at a problem. You will find this thoughtful conversation a helpful addition to the work Jesus assigns to us while we are here on Planet Earth.

The cover of Christianity Today sports an apeman purported to be a sort of Adam. But what they are really asking is, "Was Adam a real person?" Since a few scientists are "absolutely, definitely clear" on the rate of mutation over 100,000 years, and the time of divergence of chimps and humans on the "Tree of Life," theologians must make their proper prostrations. In the great apostasy of the 21st century, there must exit ramps from the faith. Is this one of them? Do the compromises of Neo-orthodoxy or theistic evolution really salvage any part of the faith, or do they just grease the skids of apostasy in the west?
