The Holy Cause of Liberty

March 29, 2011
Homeschool Day at the Capitol

On Generations Radio we often speak of liberty, but we usually do not define it. For many liberty means license, for others it means living in a society where there is no restraining power in the magistrate. But the Bible speaks of liberty as the end of the law. The biblical concept of liberty teaches that men must exercise self restraint and pursue the law of God in their lives and interactions with others or external restraint will be exercised by oppressors. Equality under the law, private property ownership, righteous living; these are the elements that God says are both the blessings and the prerequisites of maximum liberty. Join Dave Buehner as he speaks with George Sechrist about true liberty and how the upcoming Homeschool Day at the Capitol event can help to secure liberty.

A Father's Story70% of boys are not grown up by 30 years of age (up from 30% in 1970), per a recent study reported in Newsweek Magazine. Unfortunately, the problem is not much better among homeschools and private schools. It takes a man to raise a man. So here is a story of a father who caught the vision early on. Randy Winton tells how he raised his boys, even when he was faced with the debilitating challenge of contracting Multiple Sclerosis.

China's Gender ImbalanceWhat happens to a nation with 22 million men who will never be married? Nations know what to do with these men. They usually go to war. Things are bound to get interesting by the 2020's. What a nation sows, that shall it also reap. When a nation sows abortions, or sex-selection abortions, will they have to face euthanasia and war in the next generation? Kevin Swanson demonstrates how the social planners set us up for disaster, on this edition of Generations.

A Division in the Homeschool Movement?The battle of the worldviews heats up in the home education movement when a conference committee dismisses a creationist, and embraces a speaker who denies the historicity of Adam and the fall of man. Do worldviews really matter? After 30 years of attempts to salvage a few remnants of a God-centered worldview/epistemology, will the Christian Home Education movement capitulate to the inclusivists? Every reformation defines itself at Nicea or at Chalcedon. Some will take the right side and some the wrong side of the salient issues. After the fall of western civilization; after the old liberal churches are cleared out; after the post-modern relativists are gone; when the dust settles, how many Christians still holding on to a distinctively biblical worldview will be left to carry on the faith? We may have a few more iterations to go. Here Kevin Swanson analyzes the teachings of Peter Enns, a new apologist for Biologos and an active player in the Christian home education movement.

The Burlington Homeschool MurdersThe Burlington Homeschool Murders continue to shake Colorado and the nation. The 12-year-old accused has reportedly confessed of the terrible crime. But, why? Why do kids kill? Why do kids from Christian families kill? These are the questions Kevin Swanson grapples with on this segment of Generations. Psychiatrists warn of the causes of abuse, emotionally absent fathers, controlling mothers, growing narcissism in the culture, escalating violence or anger in the home, etc. But which is it? Nature or nurture? Why do kids kill?

The Japanese Quake and the AftermathIt was the most significant national disaster since World War II for the nation of Japan. The saga of the 2011 earthquake is playing itself out over weeks and perhaps even months. Will Japan be able to work its way out of this disaster, as it rebuilt the nation in the 1950s and 1960s? Doubtful. Western materialism, existentialism, and birth implosions have done at least as much harm as the 2011 earthquake. On this segment of the program, Kevin Swanson interacts with Rob Bell’s interview on MSNBC. Is God behind this earthquake? And if so, how can a good God bring this evil upon man? Is man the victim of the brute chance in a purely materialistic universe, or is there some other explanation for these disasters?
