It is a story of teenage rebellion. It is the story of sudden tragedy and the loss of a husband. It is the story of orphans adopted. It is the difficult story of a messy world. But it is the story of God’s grace. On this edition of Generations, Shari McMinn speaks of the tremendous blessing of covenant bonds that bend a little, but they don’t break. Shari is the author of a new book, called “Stretched, Yet Unbroken.” Here is a huge encouragement if you have ever lost a loved one, if you have ever adopted a child or think about it, or if you have ever had a wayward child. These are inescapable realities in a fallen world. But there is one more inescapable reality you need to know about! God’s grace.

We review the 2015 Grammys, and take a look at the predominant culture themes – not much different from last year. . . the glorification of sexual decadence, self, and religious synthesis. Then, Kevin Swanson asks the question, “Who was the greatest killer of the 21st Century? Carl Djerassi or Josef Stalin? Worldviews matter. Some believe these men brought freedom to the world. Others believe that they brought sorrow and devastation.

The wrong god speaks to Katy Perry at the Super Bowl, this year. But what of the singularly strong influence of these women, such as Stephanie Meyers, E.L. James, J. K. Rowling, and Suzanne Collins? These are the select women who bore immense influence on popular audiences, to mainstream the gospel of nihilist sexuality, cannibalism, homosexuality, witchcraft, and pagan gladiatorial games. Kevin Swanson contrasts the influence of 21st century best selling authors, 18th century best-selling authors (like Jonathan Edwards, John Bunyan, Increase Mather, and Phillip Doddridge), and the 19th century Apostates. Something happened at the turn of the 19th century. Something wicked this way came.

The measles have produced four deaths in ten years, and another 100+ have contracted the disease. Why all the mass hysteria? Here's a rule of thumb. You don't change policy for 350,000,000 people on the basis of four deaths, unless you are Senator C. Little. Republican Presidential candidate, Ben Carson wants mandatory vaccinations, no religious or philosophical exemptions. But what is the biblical basis for government interference in these matters. Kevin Swanson shares biblical wisdom, and recommends that Christians vote on the basis of parental rights. Do parental rights matter more than the abortion issue, in the ballot box? Interesting discussion on this edition of the program.

Kevin Swanson refers to a CT article, ‘Why Joshua Harris Kissed His Mega Church Goodbye.” Is the Mega Church a temporary anomaly, and what are the healthy niches developing in the 21st Century Church? We refer back to the Gen 2 survey and point out two very healthy trends. Disciple-ing Churches are growing fast, and disciple-ing homes are yielding believers in Jesus Christ by the millions. Kevin Swanson also interview Dr. Brian Ray on further results relating to the Gen 2 Survey.

We contrast the influence of mass culture with politics, on this edition of the program. Does Swing Vote Supreme Justice Kennedy have more influence than Katy Perry? Who's selling lesbianism and S&M to the masses? Does Kennedy have quite the impact? Kevin Swanson also considers the issues raised by the "most anticipated film of the year." Fifty Shades of Gray opens on Valentine's Day this week, and it is already breaking box office records. While Antinomian Christians have enthusiastically endorsed the book series, Kevin Swanson critiques the themes promoted by clear biblical worldview teaching.

President Obama points out that people have engaged all sorts of abominable activity in the Name of Christ, and we agree. In fact, we identify three examples where one major U.S. Politician has used Christ to endorse slavery (the socialist slave state), abortion, and homosexuality. Also, Answers in Genesis is going after a clear instance of religious discrimination in the State of Kentucky, and Kevin Swanson catches up with Ken Ham briefly.

While 33% of University of Oregon women claim sexual abuse (and 10% claim to have been raped), there's good news out there. Finally, the Gen 2 survey presents a contrast between Public Schooling, Christian Schooling, and Homeschooling on matters like Sexual Abuse, Belief in Materialistic Evolution, and Belief in God. The Bottom Line? Public Schooled students are more likely to be sexually abused, by a factor of 300%. And, homeschooled graduates are more likely to stand for a biblical view of marriage (vs. the mainstream view on homosexuality) by a factor of 500%. The differences are stark, as Kevin Swanson explains in this summary of the Gen 2 data.

Hosts Steve Vaughan and Bill Jack fly to Davos in a squadron of 1,700 jets, sip on $28 a gallon Red Bull and hobnob with elitist politicians who want to gouge the rich to celebrate their time as guest hosts. Meanwhile, atheists censor "Freedom of Religion Day" at FL school, Muslims put a fatwa on a comedian and the government steals barefooted, homeschooled children in the name of PC.
