This is a monumental, historic moment in the history of the country. With the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the somewhat pro-life, constructionists have the majority on the nation’s highest court. Will this mean the reversal of Roe v. Wade? Can we expect the Republicans to reverse the trends or just rein in the constant legislating from the bench that has characterized the court since Earl Warren? Projection: the court will reverse Roe v. Wade, and return more controls to the states.

An atom bomb has dropped on the family since 1970. The whole western world loosened divorce laws beginning in 1969. Abortion was legalized in 1973. Cohabitation rates increased 20 fold since 1970. The illegitimacy rate increased 7 fold. Homosexuality was legalized in 2001. And homosexual marriage came in 2015. Now is the time to battle for the biblical family. But first, we need to know how God defines a family. What is the importance of covenant? Why must the father be recognized as the federal head of the family? What is the first step to fixing a broken down family? These and other questions are considered with Dr. George Scipione who teaches biblical counseling at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Is a revival of humanist classical education working to destroy home education and Christian education in this country? A catalog promoting “classical education” announces that “humanism is exactly what is NOT wrong with the modern world and modern education.” Chrysostom Called the Greek philosophies as worthless as dogs. Augustine calls Homer “a torrent from hell.” And Jerome called the Greek poets “The food of the demons.” Martin Luther referred to Aristotle as a devil from hell. However, the latest fad for post-Christian homeschools seems to be to revive humanist classical education. Aristotle is the “master of [all] those who know.” “The humanism of the Greeks was remarkable. . . “ Who is right in this debate? This may be the most critical question for modern day Christians.

Nothing is more disturbing than the lack of spiritual power and the breakdown of the church, and the handing over of our children to the nurturing systems of the enemy. We interview Joel Saint, organizer of the Future of Christendom conference in Pennsylvania, and Erick Rivas, organizer of the Sufficiency of Scripture conference in South Texas. At the end of the day, what the church needs most is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and a prayer life that is looking for the power of God over the programs of men.

What happens when a society removes all social restraints? Shame is out of vogue these days. The Christian church attempted to prop up a few fences and restraints in the 1990s, but that proved rather ineffective as well. The bitterness and rejection of celibacy, virginity, and courtship indicates there wasn’t much of a heart change. Yet, the consequences of a shameless, permissive society will be horrendous. Children especially will pay the price for generations to come.

The mega church leader, Andy Stanley told his congregation of 34,000 recently that the Ten Commandments no longer apply. He would rather post the Sermon on the Mount over the Ten Commandments in public places. Only trouble is, the Sermon on the Mount would be more controversial than the Ten Commandments. How do the Ten Commandments relate to the command to love? We also deal with the distinction between the moral/judicial laws and the ceremonial law.

As Christians, should we immediately rush in to defend Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the drinking parties with the guys, and the rest of it? Politics and media have idealized the highest forms of hypocrisy, but we as Christians must stick to biblical principle in the present hearings. Has Mr. Kavanaugh been too cavalier about the drinking parties and the underage drinking? We also examine the move on the part of Christian colleges like Azusa Pacific to accept homosexual relationships as a good thing.

Why are homeschooled kids raised in Christian homes three times more likely to retain faith then kids sent off to public or private school? Why are homeschooled kids equally or better socialized than their counterparts in public and private schools in socialization studies? Why are churched kids predominately public schooled twice as likely to be sexually abused than churched kids predominately homeschooled? Why are homeschooled young people 18-26 years of age, fourteen times more likely to be involved in politics? Garrett and Yvette Hampton have traveled the country interviewing hundreds of homeschoolers, and they are putting together a major motion picture that will chronicle the homeschool revolution of the last twenty years.

Does the worldview of those who produce and write Sesame Street and “How to Train Your Dragon” matter? One of the key writers of Sesame Street comes out of the closet and indicates that his experiences have informed his depiction of Ernie and Bert. We’re not as concerned about who trains your dragon, as who trains your children. Who are these producers, writers, and directors? Do their worldviews and their sexual proclivities really matter? We also take a look at the social view. Where are Big Bird’s parents? Is the village raising the children, or is the family still important?

English police are looking to arrest people for making rude comments on the internet. Texas police are issuing citation to street preachers for offending people. It’s a society that is more disrespectful than ever, but also more fragile and snowflakish than ever. How do you restore self-government to a people who have lost it? How do you salvage a society from descending into a police state? Only Christians will be able to stand in the gap against the rising police state. Here is how it can be done!
