Is Nimrod Really the Reason for The Season?

December 24, 2010
Celebrating the Greatest Event that Ever Happened

The mother-child-tree thing on December 25th is sometimes attributed to Nimrod from Babel in the annals of ancient history. But then Christians wanted to celebrate their own day, so they came up with "Christmas." The battle over culture is non-stop. Christians fight for their holidays, while pagans work to turn the culture their direction. The battle over symbols, holidays, and cultures rages. But Christians should work to capture every day for Jesus Christ.

Really Smart People Usually Vote LiberalAccording to recent surveys, only 5% of scientists profess to be Republicans. Most of the rest claim to be liberal, rational thinking, and well, you know, intelligent! They also tell us that the smartest states (with the most PhD's and MS degrees) are going to be Blue. It's the "du-u-mb" farm states and a few southerners that'll vote for the conservatives. So what gives? Are engineers generationally more conservative than scientists because they aren't on the government doll, I mean, government grants? Or is it just that the humanist university is by definition, the modern temple of the other religion that has taken over America - the naturalist - anti-supernaturalist metaphysic?

"Kill and Eat""Prairie Muffins shoot real good, too!" Kevin Swanson explains how daughter Rebekah killed her first deer in the back yard with a single shot from a lever-action 30-30. There are a hundred ways to re-integrate the family economy in the 21st century, and hunting is a great way to do it. We pray for our food. We thank God for our food. And, we explain to our children the reason why animals must die for us to live.

Mentorship Going ViralEconomies busting up, the integrity of the family breaking down, and educational systems failing. There is quite a bit of bad news out there right now. But one of the most exciting and hopeful developments in education and economics right now is happening in the explosion of mentorship. Mike Cheney is director of the AME Program (Apprenticeship, Mentorship, and Entrepreneurship) in Colorado. Already 28 states are involved, and the idea is coalescing. Mike gives some great examples of how it works in a variety of families. Do you have children 12-24 years old? You will get some terrific ideas on mentorship from this Generations broadcast!

A Biblical View of Dance Dance has been heavily sexualized, along with just about everything else in the present culture.  But Kevin Swanson wants Christians to engage culture AND community, and dance may be one way to pull it off.   To NOT do culture and community is not an option. Dancing is biblical.  There is absolutely no question about that.  So Christians must interact with the subject at some level.  Could it be a way to build community in a cold, institutionalized world?   Listen to the animated discussion on this edition of Generations!

How Families Make it Work Here are two wonderful stories of families whose hearts turned towards re-establishing the family unit in the 21st century – after 8 generations of an industrial revolution that undermined the integrity of the household.   Some families find ways to re-integrate the family in technical businesses.  Some find creative ways to make it work in agriculture.   Michael Pope was a father of nine children with a vision for re-connecting with his family.  So he came home and built a farm from the ground up.  Three years ago, the Alexander family found a creative way to pull together to make it work with a family farm, without any debt!  Joy Alexander shares a story of faith, family relationships, and freedom, on this edition of Generations.

Ministering in War-Torn AreaNations around the world are careening into more anarchical uprisings – and Mexico is filling the brunt of that right now. Kevin Swanson interviews Mike Richardson, a missionary working in some of these war-torn areas in the northern regions of the nation. It is a strange irony that some of the most trying times may offer the best opportunities for the Gospel.

James Bond, Jason Bourne, Rambo. . .Jimmy ValiantAction thriller films define manhood, heroes, and virtue for many. But what if a couple of Christians produced an action thriller, complete with evil tyrants, dangerous scenarios, and men in need of redemption? Here Kevin Swanson interviews the director and producer (Nathaniel Darnell and Nathan Barnes), of a new action thriller with a twist – God is still sovereign, and man must be redeemed.

Despite the apparent strength of modern empires, they seem incredibly vulnerable to little guys in their basements, posting “secret” documents and shutting down Visa and Mastercard. It turns out that God is still sovereign over the Nebuchadnezzars who run the biggest empires on planet earth.

Impact and Backlash Kevin Swanson takes a look at 2,000 years of Jesus’ rule.   He has made an impact, but now it appears the opposition is not happy about it.  We have seen a 100 year backlash against the rule of Christ, and we use one easy example to illustrate this.  Every nation around the world refers to the year in terms of Christ’s birth.  But now, most if not all academic references to the year, are changing “the year of our Lord A.D.” to  “C.E.” or Common Era.

Homosexuality and Gender Neutral Bibles A public university in Augusta, Georgia threatens to excommunicate (dismiss) a student who refuses to change her views on homosexuality.  Demanding that the student attend a “gay pride” event and get re-educated, the university is committed to their orthodoxy and will not tolerate this “terrible” form of heterodox thinking. This leads to a discussion on church discipline.  The prevailing orthodoxy of the day seems to be in the direction of homosexuality and gender neutral Bibles.  Kevin Swanson also comments on the direction set by Zondervan as they scrap the old NIV in favor of a gender-neutral NIV.   The Marxist ideology is pressing hard to capture the entire evangelical church.
