February 24, 2014
The dysfunctionality ratio (children not growing up in nuclear family for 18 years) has reached 54% (double what it was in 1980).

Kevin Swanson talks about how to deal with more sour rumors spreading concerning Bill Gothard and the ATI program. Then, we move on to a discussion concerning the old fundamentalism from the 1930s - 1970s. This movement is cracking and turning either self-consciously anti-nomian, outrageously apostate. . . or it turns to a more biblical balance. Funny how these things work.

The liberal press is excited about the potential apostasy that they see happening in 2014. More Marxism, more homosexuality, more "inclusiveness," and more millennials leaving church. Exciting times. Kevin Swanson points out the differences between liberals and conservatives when it comes to widows and orphans. Liberals kill babies, and destroy the families of the inner city poor by their approach to "charity" or "welfare." Christians adopt babies, and lay down their own lives and livelihood for the poor.

Scotland is considering the "brilliant" idea of providing guardians for every kid in the country. The goal is to tyrannize as many families as possible, to try to help the couple of kids who could use some help from somebody besides some bureaucrat.

Humanist, evolutionary sociologists suggest that the break down of marriage will bring about the break down of civilization. Of course, you can argue for evolution either way. Kevin Swanson urges Christians to just go with what the Bible says. Stick with 1 Cor. 7:1,2, and 1 Tim. 5:14. Will the present attack on marriage and the family ruin our civilization? Conservative sociologists and historians think so. What shall we conclude?

More young people are delaying marriage than ever before, and they may live to regret it. Some just want to "make an impact" in politics or in business before marriage. Or they may be "having fun" being single, and in the process miss the calling God has designed for them. It turns out that God knows more about living the fulfilled life than the existentialist materialists of the day. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Candice Watters from Boundless.org, author of "Get Married - What Women Can Do to Help it Happen." Candice speaks to the power of mentorship in a young woman's life in preparing her for the true purpose God has laid out for her future.

Kevin Swanson suggests prayer and repentance as the right way to handle droughts. President Obama, are you listening?

Katherine Lee Bates might have been a lesbian anyway." Kevin Swanson says that it takes a pretty fouled up mind to turn all phileo love into some form of abominable eros. Then the Russian President chastises America for its godless character. Strange world out there.
