Storms of controversy surround child training approaches, including the work produced by parenting guru's, Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo. With millions of resources floating around the Christian world from these folks, Generations wades into the conflagration to analyze the good, the bad, and the ugly. Undoubtedly, the Ezzos have said some good things and lives have been changed. But is it biblical to forbid 'sleeping with a baby' or 'child-cued feedings?' Widening the discussion to every child-training program in the world, Kevin Swanson gives several interpretive rules parents ought to use when evaluating the merits of parenting resources.

Is it possible to have your doctrine straight while you loosen up on your biblical practice? Kevin Swanson interviews R.C. Sproul, Jr. on the relationship of orthodoxy to orthopraxy, addressing the issue of birth control in the biblically-directed family.

There is an idea that suggests that Christians and non-Christians operate in two different law systems, one in God's law revealed in the Bible and the other in God's law revealed in nature with no aid from the Bible. These two law systems define two distinct kingdoms with two distinct goals. The kingdom of God's law in the Bible is concerned with redemption and the non-Bible kingdom with things like politics and education. But what about “thy kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven”? Is the kingdom in heaven ruled by natural law or Biblical law? And when Jesus commissioned the church to make disciples of all nation by teaching them all that He has commanded, does that all include the law of God as recorded in the Bible? Dave Buehner speaks with Bojidar Marinov about how two-kingdom thinking is separating ethics from politics and gospel from all of life.

Although the field of medicine has produced many lifesaving procedures and researchers continue to discover new ways to improve health. The medical field is also home to many abuses. Many of the most commonly prescribed drugs are for high cholesterol, but how are so called “normal” levels or “high” levels determined? The drug used to treat the condition often produces debilitating side effects, so is “high” cholesterol more dangerous than being treated for high cholesterol? Many of the medical protocols for therapy are based on a one size fits all approach, but what if you are not that one size? Threat of law suites, AMA protocols and government legislation, may force all patients into the Procrustean bed of medical treatment. And most frighteningly many doctors now believe they have the authority to force therapy on patients and are willing to use the courts to do so. Dave Buehner talks to Steve Vaughan, a medical professional and business owner in the health field, about the law of unintended consequences in medical practice.

There has been much written and said about global warming (or is that climate change?) and the corresponding rise in “natural” calamities. Dave Buehner and Steve Vaughan attempt to answer many questions about the hysteria including: Is the Earth getting warmer and how could an honest scientist tell? If the temperature is changing what would be the mechanism and the cause? What should our reaction be to news of catastrophe? We turn to Amos the minor prophet to Old Testament Israel to provide Biblical principles for evaluating and responding to the current global warnings.

Most people have noticed that society and culture have become increasingly rude and uncivil. As America throws off its Christian underpinnings it loses both the motivation to act civil and the method to act with meekness and manners.

Robert Baird wrote in 1855 that there was no subject on which American Christians are more happily united than that of the proper observance of the Sabbath. Not anymore.

Thanks to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Brazil continues efforts to eradicate home education in that country.

The average family eats together 3 times a week (out of 21 meals)! That’s less than the 5 school lunches shared with a peer group each week. How do we put together a functional family when everything around them is some version or other of dysfunctionality? Where do we find patterns to help us? Kevin Swanson interviews Doug Phillips on his “Family Strategies.” How do you cultivate music tastes? How do we address “Jive Talk” in the home? What does a road trip look like?
