1,183,700 Violent Crimes Committed in Public Schools - Violence in Schools and Suicide Among Christians?

April 27, 2012
There are 1,183,700 violent crimes committed in the public schools in a given year, according to reports from the Department of Education and the Department of Justice. But there are only 1,209,000 violent crimes reported to the police in any given year—in the entire country! So what gives? Many violent crimes happening in schools are not reported to the police, including half of the “serious” violent incidents. Why are there more violent crimes happening in the public schools than on the streets? Are parents aware of the pressure cooker of violence simmering away in public schools in the present day? In the wake of the Voice of the Martyrs tragedy, Kevin Swanson also addresses the problem of suicide among “professing” Christians.

The Girl Scouts is turning into an organization that promotes lesbianism, feminism, abortion, and Planned Parenthood. Is this really something that Christians want to get behind? Kevin Swanson contrasts the Girl Scout vision to a biblical vision for femininity, and recommends that Christians not promote the Girl Scouts.

What are the major challenges facing the church today? How have programs and youth ministries interrupted God’s intentions for family AND church? Kevin Swanson interviews Brian Cosby, author of a new book entitled Giving Up Gimmicks, on his experience in youth ministry. Brian recommends discipleship and the simple preaching and teaching of the Word of God as the means by which God works His powerful work of salvation.

Men, your wives need to listen to this terrific interview with Leah Smith, author of a new book entitled Diapers, Dishes, and Dominion. Leah says that too many women are overcome by fear and faithlessness—seriously hampering a vision for dominion.

The Obama administration is proposing new rules that would "not let 15-year-old farm kids use a flashlight or a wheelbarrow!" The formidable forces against family economies are relentless. Whether it be socialists, communists, or centralizing capitalists, family farms and family economies face incredible opposition! Yet, these businesses provide hope for the future, stability and growth for economies, upward mobility, not to mention a re-integration of the family in the present day. Many families have fought hard for family-based education. Will we have to engage the struggle for the freedom to mentor our sons in farm-work and other family businesses as well?

Nothing chronicles the destruction of an entire social system like the soaring illegitimacy rates. And 2012 marks the first year in the history of this country where the majority of children born to 30 year old women (and younger) are born without fathers. . . 53%. That's up from 6% in 1960 and 0.69% in 1660! Kevin Swanson covers 500 years of the problem of illegitimacy in the western world, and illustrates the utter devastation of the last 50 years in America, Sweden, England, and elsewhere. The socialists and the humanists have finally succeeded in bringing about the humanist dream. But the destruction of the family will mean the destruction of civilization and the social order.

According to a recent Barna poll, the support for Barack Obama among evangelicals has doubled in four years. The hard work of those leaders who have endeavored to separate politics from the Bible is paying off! The evangelicals are getting the message: “You can vote for either Hitler or Stalin. It doesn’t matter!” However, God will judge those who support infanticide, abortion, and other atrocities via the ballot box.

YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS EYE-OPENING INTERVIEW FROM THE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF A MAN FROM THE EAST WHO WAS SAVED BY GOD’S GRACE. The Bible gave the Western world technology, wealth, health, hospitals, J.S. Bach, and education, putting an end to suttee, cannibalism, infanticide, and some forms of slavery. That’s the point Vishal Mangalwadi powerfully makes in his new book, The Book That Made Your World. Vishal is careful to excise between the Western influence of the destructive ideas of humanism and that of the Christian Reformation. As Western Christianity fades, it is critically important that Christians know their heritage.

Do your children have trouble sharing their things? Does selfishness sort of dominate in your 3-year-old's life? What about habitual lying from a ten-year-old child? Kevin Swanson interviews Pam Forster from Doorposts, on these basic character issues. You will appreciate the tremendous wisdom that comes from a grandmother and mother who has been at this work of discipleship and nurturing character in children for a long time!

What kind of people will we be, 20 years from now? What kind of churches will be left? Will your family still be in tact? The present trajectories indicate an end of newspapers and network television, an end of land line telephones, popular music, and even brick and mortar schools. But will life be less relational or more relational? Will things be more centralized or more decentralized? The choice is largely up to individual families. What kind of life do you want to live? Kevin Swanson examines technology trends and religious trends, and extrapolates a bit into the future on this edition of Generations.

A recent study found that the number of people between ages 25 and 34 who are living with their parents doubled between 1980 and 2008 (and that was before the great “Mancession” or “Hecession” of 2008-2010!). The children of boomers are turning into boomerangs! This program introduces a real clash of worldviews and life views. Here we ask the question, “Should you kick your 22 year-old kid out of the home economy or help him build his own economy?” Fox Business doesn’t address that question because it’s not even a consideration of the average family today.
