So, everything is to be submitted to Christ . . . except for the civil government? Is that how it works? Why are Christians so hesitant to submit their politics to rule of Jesus Christ? But, what does the Christian do when he is the far minority, and there is little opportunity to impact politics? 

Modern man has finally lost confidence in himself. While trust in man's institutions have fallen like a rock since the 1970s per Gallup polls, trust remains in one area—science. This is the last of the idols to fall. Yet there is a crisis in science, headlined by the Washington Examiner. A 2016 survey conducted by Nature Magazine found 90% of scientist respondents believed that a crisis was at hand, and a full 70% of those surveyed had tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments. For a century, evolutionists have cried out, "Who needs reproducibility! Who needs observation! Who needs verification! Who needs data! We have an elegant hypothesis that can't be wrong!" Science will fail us. In fact, science is killing us now.

It was the year the Federal Reserve failed. After nearly a hundred years of that homosexual pedophile's economic policies were incorporated into the profligate nations of the US, the UK, the EU, Japan, and the most powerful nations on earth, the year has finally arrived. It was the year that Keynes failed. This is the week the Fed failed, with a pitiful fifty-point increase on interest rates to beat inflation brought on by the drunken-sailor-inspired Quantitative Easing policies of 2020 and 2021. We equip Christian families with a knowledge of the chicanery going on the economy, and then leave them with Christian principles for doing it right, if we get a chance to reconstruct this mess over the next 30-50 years. 

The Left is running scared. The wicked sense that abortion is not a safe and sacrosanct right forever and ever, amen. Roe v. Wade is on the chopping block. And . . . now they're concerned that same-sex mirage and homosexuality may not enjoy the same support it has for the last 10 years. We also point out that the left condemns itself with "The Handmaid's Tale," and its pretended condemnations of surrogacy. But, who supports surrogacy and rent-a-womb in our day now? Does a woman have a right to rent out her own womb? Does a woman have a right to sell herself into slavery? Does a woman have a right to commit suicide? Does a woman have a right to kill her own baby? Does a woman have a right to purposefully conceive a child with the purpose of selling the child, or placing the child in some institution, brothel, or cesspool where homosexuals live? We address these questions from the perspective of God's law.

What is this much ado about reversing Roe? The spiritual pressures mount against the conservatives on the bench. But what about the 14th amendment for little guys in the womb? Is it too little too late, after technology has enabled the Kill Pill by Mail, the Plan B Pill, and high-efficiency abortifacients? Will our legislators do the right thing, especially since churches hardly have the will to stand up on any of this? Doubtful. Nonetheless, the hearts of these kings are in the hand of the Lord, and He turns it whithersoever He wills.

America crossed over to the dark side in 2007 as the shift in moral perspectives shifted from an average of 48.6% to 64.4% support for evil. By the Gallup Moral Acceptability poll, America is 32.6% more evil than she was in 2001. We include the ten "Most Devastating Events" in American Civil History on this program. What America needs more than anything is humility, repentance, regeneration, and faith in God's only Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ. This edition of the Generations radio program originally aired in 2020.

It’s called The Marriage Mentor: Becoming the Couple You Long to Be. Guest host Adam McManus talks with Rhonda in this first part of a two-part conversation.

Your marriage can survive toddlers and teens. The grass is not greener on the other side. She is the founder of No Regrets Woman, a ministry dedicated to helping women live life with no regrets in a way that honors God and His design for them.

Will Christian pastors speak out on the California infanticide bill, or should they speak out? We provide a few biblical examples from Jeremiah 23 and Titus 1, where God holds pastors responsible for going after societal sins. But why are churches so powerless to affect culture these days? The man-centeredness revealed in the marketing programs and the programs themselves may be one reason. We quote Tozer. 

Are we really safer now than we were in the 1970s and 1980s? Universities are 50% more liberal. Nations are far more anti-God than they have ever been. Science has recently taken more steps in the development of nukes and their delivery systems. World economic systems are teetering on the edge of disaster. Russia is desperate. Are we really safer? Has the moral nature of man improved that much since the days of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin?
