Christians are getting hammered by the US Supreme Court and the lower courts in this country. The Republicans are opposing Christian businesses, ministries, and churches. But what are the conservative Christian leaders saying now? Take the Benedict Option, some say. What about this? Ease off on the birth control. Have a ton of kids, and disciple them as you sit in your house. . . But what are the child to adult ratios in the PCUSA, the PCA, the OPC, and other churches? What is the birth rate? Interesting study we have conducted for this segment of the Generations broadcast.

George Washington has come down. Columbus is down. Andrew Jackson is toppling in Washington. The statues are falling all over the country. There are three issues to consider. First, we are concerned for the intensity of the revolution, the total rejection of a heritage, and the destructive nature of it. Then, we have the question of statues, with the very strong rooting in the man-worshiping humanism of the ancient Greeks and Romans. But then, what do we teach our children? Will they honor the heritage of George Washington, Patrick Henry, Andrew Jackson, John Winthrop, Augustine, Athanasius, and the rest of Christian history? What kind of curriculum will you give your children now? Will they be taught to honor a heritage in the post-Christian age, or the post-America age?

How did music turn into something divisive, pivotal, and central in the worship of the modern church? Dan Lucarini is a former CCM Worship Leader, and he wrote a book called "Why I left the Modern Contemporary Christian Music Movement." Does Rock belong in the worship service? Does this form best convey reverence and fear of God in His worship? Or does this form focus on feelings, self, and personal experience? This comes from best-of-collection for the Generations broadcast.

The nation is in upheaval. The partisanship is widening. The Supreme Court is doing the wrong thing, over and over again even with Republican appointments. If there was ever a time to find peace with Christ, and to nurture the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (in the Church), now is that time. Psalm 133 is happening in the local churches here, while the nations rage out there.

Over and over again, exemptions have been offered by legislative bodies in the US for homeschoolers and Christians who choose to avail the islands of freedom. We don’t have to teach our children homosexuality and humanist ethics in public schools. Now homeschoolers can opt out of immunizations using aborted fetal tissue lies, and avoid the more draconian rules. Christians can opt out of mandatory abortion and abortifacient funding included in the Obamacare provisions. Why not take advantage of these islands of freedom, which God has provided for those who would embrace liberty and His laws relating to killing babies. Praise God for His goodness, as the island of freedom grows year by year.

Could this be the worse US Supreme Court in all of history? It is blatant persecution of Christians. This ranks up there with Roe v. Wade and Lawrence v. Texas. These decisions legitimized people’s choices to perverted sexuality and murdering their own children. But now, the US Supreme Court has taken an additional step — officially approving the persecution of Christ’s followers. The Harris case has made history — and leading the pack is Neil Gorsuch and John Roberts.

Christians are marching for social justice in the streets. Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales explains via YouTube why economic disparity exists in America. But, are we supposed to join the marches? Has the time come to call out for redistribution of the wealth, hiring quotas, the banning of hate by the civil magistrate (whatever that is)? The muddle-ment and irrationality in the churches is stifling. The root — an antinomian gospel.

So much of the Christian church got stuck in cliches, minimalism in thinking, and third-tier denominational distinctives (misinterpreted as the essence of the faith). Is there a miscalculation as to what makes for the foundational and fundamental issues in orthodoxy? Here Dr. Jeff Myers from Summit Ministries, addresses his new book “Unquestioned Answers. . . . Rethinking 10 Christian Cliches to rediscover Biblical Truth.” Did cliches and minimalistic thinking displace Christian maturity and a substantive faith?

If the Christian faith will change the world, if we are to be salt and light, then how does this work? Most of Christianity in the West has given up on changing anything, or they have given up on God’s law as the standard. But then, how does our eschatological perspective play into all of this? Are we supposed to set out to change the world. . .or not? These are discouraging times for lots of Christians, but does that mean we must throw in the towel on the salt and light business?

The World Bank calls it the worst worldwide decline in national per capita output since 1870. But the 1929 depression was the best of times, and these are the best of times. How do the great depressions constitute the mercy of God upon this nation? You need to hear this.
