Short term missions trip are en vogue for American churches looking for something to do for their teens (and hoping they might just get saved on the trip). But, now a new campaign is trying to stop these “harmful” missions trips to orphanages especially. What’s the first requirement for missions, before anybody even thinks about going on a missions trip? We lay down the most essential pre-requisite. And, also we offer general principles for charitable giving for missions and international needs.

The Star Wars franchise is the second highest grossing movie franchise in American history, with "The Force Awakens" the highest grossing movie of all the franchises in history, with almost $1 billion in box office receipts. Kevin Swanson examines the worldview behind this top grossing movie -- Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As the director and movie stars preach to the masses, Kevin Swanson takes careful note of the anthropology, political theory, social theory, witchcraft, and metaphysical worldview perspective that make up the world of Star Wars.

We review the history of Thanksgiving from 1621, and the official Thanksgiving holidays in the 13 colonies. Then we take a look at the first national Thanksgiving proclamation issued by President George Washington. Finally, we counter the politically correct view of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. Was it a blessing that Christianity broke into the pagan world of North America controlled by Satan? What impact did Jesus make on this continent?

Have you read the second most important book for Christians to your children? Of course, you have read the Bible to your children. But, what about Pilgrim’s Progress? The book is impacting, powerful, and transcends culture. Now, for the first time in history, the book is being released in a major motion picture. Kevin Swanson interviews the producer, Steve Cleary, on this exciting new film production to be released in a few months.

Are the Baptists loosening their standards concerning alcohol (especially with their colleges and seminaries)? We review the history of alcohol and the Baptists since the 1830's. It can be hard to believe that segments of the American church have held the wrong standard and definitions of godliness for over a hundred years, but all of us tend towards external, manmade conceptions of godliness. What is true and substantial godliness? Huge questions to consider on this edition of Generations.

The year 2018 in television is being labelled the “Year of the Witch.” Thirteen year old girls are being indoctrinated in cannibalism, blood sacrifice, and selling souls to Satan — and this is presented as an admirable and wonderful thing. It’s time to wake up and smell the napalm in the War of the Worldviews. This sure ain’t “Family Ties” and “I Love Lucy” anymore. We discuss the strong connections between witchcraft and feminism as presented by the Satan character in “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” We encourage that your children come out of the darkness of this dying and darkening culture into the light of resurrection and Christ. Indeed, Jesus came to bring life. We recommend they read about “Taking the World for Jesus” and watch films like “Mully” or “Dispatches from the Front” or “Polycarp” or “Modern Parables” offered by Generations this Christmas season.

Here is a story of the nanny state in Kansas City squelching private charities who are trying to reach out to the homeless. Then, there is the beastly state in Scotland mandating indoctrination in sexual perversion for all kids, including those in Catholic schools. Why must the Catholic schools comply to this? That is our question. Christians should never worship the state, or offer sacrifices to Caesar or Moloch, for that matter. Are these the end times, and are Christians going to submit themselves to the “all-powerful” state?

When godless men lead, they will take God’s Name in vain in a very public manner. Although there are many other things wrong with them, this is what gets them in trouble more than anything else. The basic problem with America is that Americans take God’s Name in vain, and they do not fear God. Is it really that simple? David French warns of the post-religious right as well as the post-religious left. The pride, the anger, the vitriol just gets worse and worse with godless men. We are in trouble for this very reason.

What happens when a nation loses the will to carry on its civilization? Nations used to be wiped out by raiding armies. That's not the way it works anymore. Now they just rot from the inside. Almost every major leader of every major nation in Europe is childless. What does this mean for the future of Europe? How do childless leaders develop policy that might benefit future generations? They won’t. That’s the simple answer. It is over for Europe. But what about America? How would you prepare for the future of nations on a suicidal bent?

The pornography scourge is now affecting both men and women, causing untold damage to marriages and family. We discuss with Deepak Reju why so many secular approaches to the problem never offer a permanent solution. How does Jesus’s “program” result in a steady crushing of the sinful habits and a wonderful freedom?
