Generations Radio

An Interview with Ken Ham An extensive study of the 20-something crowd finds that those who were raised in conservative churches and Sunday Schools are MORE likely to doubt the Bible, approve of pre-marital sex, abortion, and macro-evolutionary theories! Going to church will harden you against God? Would it have been better if they had never gone to Sunday School? In this ground-breaking interview on the Generations Radio broadcast, Ken Ham describes a deadly recipe for apostasy that includes the combination of a secular worldview, a compromising church, and massive abdication of parental responsibilities. The fact of the matter is that America is in apostasy, and the vast majority of the nation’s children and grandchildren will reject the God of the Bible. And if you still believe the Bible, you know that apostates do not go to heaven.

Ethics and the Bible Since the 1950s socially acceptable sins are slowly evolving from fornication and adultery to homosexuality and pedophilia. But the worldview war has come down to this... Does God have the right to tell us what to do or not? Have Christians abandoned their basis for ethics? This is basic ethics and every family needs to be savvy on this worldview war where it rages the hottest.

Our Collapsing National Integrity and You Kevin and Dave try to name a major national conservative leader who does not have a daughter who is a lesbian, has not had an affair, has not tapped a shoe in an MSP airport restroom stall, etc. The Moral Integrity of the nation is collapsing. Yet, our leaders are only a reflection of us. This program gets into the nuts and bolts of what to do when a husband has committed adultery, or a child has fallen into fornication, or drunkenness, or . . . Drawing from the book of Proverbs, we hold that prevention is always the best strategy. Of course, repentance is always essential, for the sanctification and renewal of all areas of our lives.

Church Freedoms and Family Freedoms Our forefathers went to war over 27 cents of annual taxation, and now we bow to government taxing the citizens up to 60% of the Gross National Income, and the National Debt obligating each family in America to the tune of $1,000,000 plus. The freedoms held dear by those that fought hard included primarily freedom for the church to operate free from the regulatory influences of the state. Of course the church is pretty irrelevant to most people today, so they would hardly hold this freedom sacrosanct anymore. But now the battle has shifted to the sphere of the family. Of course the family is pretty irrelevant to most people today, so they would hardly hold parental rights sacrosanct anymore. Kevin Swanson also challenges the listening audience to a new battle for freedom, over the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Who Owns the Children? Kevin Swanson points out that the child labor laws and the accompanying unraveling of the family oikonomia (economic systems), have all worked to produce a nation where 70% of young men are not grown up by 30 years of age (per Newsweek magazine).Where families once functioned as families, the corporations enriched themselves on enslaving the children (and the parents), until the children were turned over to the government. The same thing is happening now to healthcare. Our healthcare decisions were turned over to corporations, and now the corporations are turning them back over to the government in the form of socialist healthcare. This is HOW millions of families are turned over to the governance of total socialism. Kevin argues that a biblical worldview empowers the family, while a socialist worldview centralizes power and turns all power over to the centralized state.

Interview: N.D. Wilson On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews N.D. Wilson, Christian author of several popular novels, addressing important questions like, what is a bad book? What is the difference between witchcraft and what Elijah or Moses were doing in the Old Testament? If we were Trinitarian Christians and believed in God's Sovereignty and Human Responsibility, might this affect the stories we write?

The End of Theocracy Just when we all had put our hopes in the secular state, and did our little dance with Jon Meacham of Newsweek Magazine on the grave of "Theocracy," the whole things crashes down on top of us! As Iran and America shake off their religious moorings, the secularists are celebrating their new-found utopia. While hating to be a big party-pooper, the gods of the copybook headings mosey up to explain it once more. What did the old man say? "Either you'll be governed by God or by God you'll be governed!". Kevin Swanson chronicles the rise of self-inflicted tyranny in the form of Cap and Trade, national healthcare, and other socialist plans for America. Meanwhile, down in South Carolina the loyal opposition appears to be losing whatever character was left on the right side of the aisle - once again proving what the old man said. When God changes the hearts of a family, He renews beautiful relationships and builds love and joy and righteousness into all of our institutions!!

Jettisoning Biblical Ethics Two-thirds of teens don't believe in God, and six out of ten say that "religion has a negative influence on the world." Meanwhile, on the slide into Gomorrah, Kevin Swanson gives the biblical reasons why Christians don't commit incest, and don't mark the flesh with Tattoos. You'll find it in God's Laws somewhere in Leviticus. The thesis-antithesis thing gets pretty blurry by the time you start reading the evangelical Sojourner Magazine. Kevin Swanson plays a piece from Bart Campolo and comments on it.

Why Cities are Blue and Evil In one of the most engaging discussions ever broadcast on the Generations radio program, Kevin Swanson touches California's Great Depression, shaping up to beat the one that hit America in the 1930s. Things are different today. The cities are corrupt, and dying; some soon to be bulldozed and turned back into farmland. Is it time to leave the cities? Could God judge these cities as He did to others in the history of the world, or could He care less if these cities repented? What if God really does exist? What if He really does care what happens in these cities?

The Best Education for Your Child In the cacophony of diverse recommendations for the education of children, parents really do make choices that prove to be fatal for their children. Sometimes they walk away from education conferences confused. All they know is that education is vitally important, as it forms the minds and hearts of the next generation. Having returned from visiting several homeschooling conferences around America and Canada, Kevin Swanson boils it down to several basic principles for parents who are committed to a good, solid Christian education on this edition of Generations.
