Fornication and Feminism The second Narnia tale produces another box office success. But twists in the tale taken to the silver screen seem to present an ulterior agenda. Is the director's intention behind such modifications to introduce the fornicating and feminist world and life view for the young viewers? Are PG movies more influential that R rated and X rated movies in formulating the worldviews by which hundreds of millions live their lives? And what is that worldview?

Arrested by the Cow Police A Mennonite farmer in Pennsylvania is arrested for selling unpasteurized milk, and Kevin Swanson admits that he drinks raw milk without divulging the name of the cow. Our forefathers were concerned about the tyranny of a state that imposed 29 cents of annual taxation upon the colonists. But now the character of the American people has changed dramatically, as they willingly bow to government control of every aspect of their lives, and a government that confiscates 50% of the wealth of the nation each year. Host Kevin Swanson presents a biblical approach to government regulation, drawing from the gross negligence principle of the bull that "pushes its horn." He makes the point that when men stray from the laws of God, inevitably they give way to tyranny and anarchy (usually simultaneously).

Sodom and AmericaThe Republican-appointees on the California Supreme Court legalized homosexual marriage, while the Democrat-controlled legislature in Colorado provide special rights to transvestites. Such social developments make it important for Christians to gain a wider biblical and historical view of empires and city states that fell into the sodomite lifestyle.Kevin Swanson gives a brief history of few periods in history where homosexuality and homosexual marriage made it out of the closet and gained a little social approval. He takes a look at the attempts to synthesize the Christian church with the homosexual lifestyle including the attempts at drawing distinctions between homosexuality and homosexualism. Because the roots of this problem are embedded in the failure of fatherhood,to preach the real Gospel in the churches, and the disintegration of the family, political solutions will be futile.

Vs. Al Gore and Jon Bon Jovi Over 31,000 scientists (9,000 of whom are PhD's in their respective scientific fields), have signed a petition calling the Global Warming policy recommendations proposed in the Kyoto Convention a "harm" to the environment, producing deleterious effects to the "health and welfare of mankind." This is far and away more of a consensus than anything that the Chicken Little crowd has collected for themselves. Granted, these 31,000 scientists disagree with Bill Nye the Science Guy, Jon Bon Jovi, John McCain, Al Gore, Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, and Ben Affleck. And we all know who the masses will listen to - the celebrities and politicians who love to create crises and present themselves as solutions. This edition of Generations looks at the concomitant rise of junk science with the failure to recognize God or fear God in scientific inquiry.

Heart-less, Love-less, Fatherless and Godless God's System of Loving Discipleship, and the Rod Child development theories taught in public universities today are heart-less, love-less, fatherless, and godless. They are diametrically opposed to God's theory on child development contained in the book of Proverbs. The Christian view of child raising involves relationships, families, love, and a focus on character and faith. These ideas are rejected outright by the secular state and the university programs that train child development experts and professional teachers. And it is destroying children and families by the millions.Here, Kevin Swanson provides a defense for love and discipline, as well as the proper use of the rod, from the book of Proverbs and Hebrews 12. He cautions Christian teachers and parents from the ungodly Child Development ideas conveyed in secular classrooms.

Interview: Dr. David Noebel In their own words, the organizers of the modern public school movement admit that these schools are temples and the religion is a secular humanism. Here is Charles Francis Potter: "Education is the most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?" Amen! We couldn't have said it better than this committed humanist, writing in his book "Humanism, a New Religion." It's just too bad that there are so few Christians that know about the clergy in the classroom. Listen to Dr. David Noebel's interview concerning his important book "Clergy in the Classroom, The Religion of Secular Humanism."

Husband Prefers Birth Control What's a Wife to Do? Responding to questions from the listening audience, Kevin Swanson takes on several challenging questions in this segment of Generations. A woman would like to have more than 1.4 children, but her husband does not share the vision. What's a wife to do? What if a mom wants to home school her children and her husband is unsupportive of the vision? Such marital disunity is not uncommon today, and yet the Bible has a powerful solution to these problems.

Incrementalism and Politics The "far-too-radical" Personhood Amendment is on its way to the Colorado ballot for the 2008 elections. Despite opposition or lack of support from mainstream "conservative" organizations, a fledgling band of faithful pro-lifers have already achieved a major victory in a 40 year battle for human life in America. Kevin Swanson points out how conservative pragmatism has never really won us much of anything. So if you're going to be a pragmatist, he offers several pointers on how to be a consistent and effective pragmatist.

Hospitality and Hotels The scenario is all too common. On a business trip, a family man gets a touch of the life of anonymity in the hotel room in the big city. Contrast that with the life of Paul and Elisha who enjoy the hospitality of brothers along the way. In this ground-breaking program, Kevin Swanson shows how modern systems have purged relationships and accountability from education and travel. Then, he points out how hospitality establishes relationships through the "love of strangers." Should you pay for love on the road, or should brothers open their homes to others, as Christians did for thousands of years before hospitality was commercialized? This Generations broadcast challenges families and churches to re-examine the modern social order, and some practical issues relating to the biblical lifestyle of hospitality are discussed.

Disasters & Persecuting Countries The last several major natural disasters that resulted in 100,000s of lost lives were centered in Burma, China, Iran, Indonesia, and Pakistan. And every one of these nations stepped up persecution against Christians throughout the 1990s and 2000s. One big coincidence? If God exists, and if He is particularly bothered by the torture and persecution of His people, and if He is totally sovereign over all things, then what are we to say? Kevin Swanson interacts with these questions, developing a biblical perspective on God's relationship with man's reality in this segment of Generations.
