Generations Radio

As Christians, we should be letting our light shine among men. In this edition of the Generations Radio program, Steve Vaughan and Bill Jack fill in for Kevin as they discuss the incredible opportunities that have been presented to Christian debate teams. Whether it's in the U.S. or halfway across the world, God is using debate as an outlet to share the Gospel message with unbelievers.

He’s probably held up as the most evil monster America has ever produced. But have you heard the rest of the story? You’ve heard about the first 34 years of Jeffrey Dahmer’s life, but have you heard about the last 6 months? How did materialistic evolution play an important role in his depravity? The media will never tell you this. Kevin Swanson interviews Roy Ratcliff, the man who discipled Jeffrey Dahmer for the last year of his life before he was killed by a fellow inmate in a Wisconsin prison.

This can be a quarrelsome, minor issue. . .or it may be an vitally important issue. Would you use the Jehovah Witness Bible, for example? What about the KJV-only position? Are translators inspired men, or are they Holy Spirit assisted men? Do they make mistakes? What if the language has not been well adapted to receive the Greek and Hebrew meaning? These are not easy questions, and it takes a bit more wisdom and grace to discuss these thing than we are able to bring to the table, at times.

Churches in Europe and America are reporting that demon possession is on the rise. Interesting. . . A nation in apostasy seems to court demonic presence. The Roman Catholics and Protestant organizations are training exorcists. For $3,000 you can be qualified as an exorcist. But, could this be the “Sons of Sceva” training institute? We analyze an exorcism video taped and available on a protestant exorcism ministry website. And, we discuss biblical principles relating to demon possession and exorcism.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a pro-life Republican, signed the Heartbeat Bill into law on Friday. If a heartbeat is detected, the baby in the womb is protected. Guest host Adam McManus interviews Janet Porter, founder of Faith 2 Action, who urges pro-life Christians to support the federal Heartbeat Bill (H.R. 490) by sending a fax to 476 Washington, D.C. and district offices with the click of a button through her website www.Faith2Action.org.  Plus, Porter discusses the first American flag which preceded the Star and Stripes. It featured the words “An Appeal to Heaven” which President George Washington commissioned to fly on our Navy ships during the American Revolution. One of those ships captured an English ship with the ammunition aboard we needed to win the war. Once again, we need to make “an appeal to Heaven” to stop abortion and help overturn Roe v. Wade.

Modern man has pretty much abandoned relationship and followed in the way of Cain, way, way east of Eden. A recent UCLA study found American Generation Z’ers are the loneliest of all. They have been institutionalized, and sent away into the wasteland of the electronic universe. But, the real problem is the man is still running away from God. We discuss how Christians might provide hospitality centers in the city of anonymity, oases of relationship and love where man has destroyed it.

We pull together the Generations key team leaders to thank the Lord for His mercies, to confess our weaknesses and sins, to consider what God is teaching us, and to ask for prayers for our ongoing ministry as we look forward to the years ahead.

It’s the most popular move in the world. It’s the blockbuster of all blockbusters, raking in almost $1 billion worldwide in one week. So what’s the worldview? Based on the movie dialogue, we identify the worldviews of polytheism, pantheism, and witchcraft with the source of power sourced inside the universe. A shift of worldview is also seen in the top four box office blockbusters of the 2010s vs. the 1950s and 1960s. The world is falling for fantasy and complete escape into a parallel pretend universe.

Only 0.13 % of Americans seem to believe Psalm 5:5 and Romans 9:13, but the real question is this. . . Does God control everything? Is God sovereign over everything including your salvation? We compare the Humanist Manifesto’s view of man’s sovereignty with a biblical worldview perspective that holds to God’s absolute sovereignty. Then, what are we to say about modern “orgasmic” worship where Dionysius is let loose in an evangelical praise and worship service? What is true biblical emotion and how does it play into worship? Is the solution going to be liturgical worship, or the psalms, or preaching?

The Democrats are moving further left as they prepare to sweep Washington in the 2018 and 2020 elections. However, it’s hard to believe that the Democrats could be more socialist than the Republicans. Beyond any doubt, historians would identify the most socialist and Marxist presidents in American history as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sadly, these are the great heroes of many Christians. How did we get such a skewed view of history? We set the record straight on this edition of the program.
