Here is one of the most shocking exposes on the cultural revolution, led mainly by the entertainment industry and Hollywood in particular. Eric Holmberg illustrates the incredible power of Hollywood to lead a nation to cultural degradation and ruin. Always staying a little ahead of the immorality curve, sexuality on the movie screen moved from married people sleeping in separate beds to the ultimate sexual degradation. What will the future hold for entertainment? Will this take us back to the last days of Pompeii, and Rome?

As more of medical care, education, and welfare is turned over to the government, increasingly bureaucracies will confiscate children and control medical decisions over the American family. Freedom disappears as people begin taking the government welfare provided by the state (whether that be schooling, Obamacare or welfare). How to avoid medical kidnapping, much like what has happened to Drake Pardo and others.

Churches seem to be filling up with licentious media, pastors recommend Harry Potter movies, and love for whatever the world advocates seems constant. What does one do? Must we become the Values Police checking everybody’s internet history, reading fare, and A/V diet? Kevin Swanson recommends asking the more fundamental questions. There are usually more fundamental issues at stake, which will either draw us together in Christ or prove some to be not of us.

Reuters calls the 2010s the DECADE OF DEBT. American corporations have become the paradigm of greed, dishonesty, unprecedented debt, and the quick buck. All caution was thrown out the window ten years ago. While the federal government was running trillion dollar deficits, corporate America was running up annual trillion dollar deficits too. But, they weren’t spending it on equipment and development. They were spending it on fake dividends and buying their own stock — 60% of the deficits! At the same time the S&P Price to Earnings ratio was bumping into the mid-20s. Not Good. Not Good. Not Good. But, what are the real heart problems with America? What will greed, debt, and the get-rich-quick schemes do to a country, to the largest economies in the world. . .to China. . . to Japan. . . to the whole world?

It was the decade of Franklin Graham, Ken Ham, John MacArthur, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, Mylie Cyrus, Josh Harris, Hillsong, Taylor Swift, Chick-fil-A, Lauren Daigle, Fantasy, Superheroes, Scandals, Catharsis, Nero, Greta, Obama and Trump, and John Maynard Keynes. It was an extraordinary decade in the history of mankind. And, the verse that exactly fit. . . "For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?" We cover this fast-moving, world-transitioning decade in fifteen minutes.

Pride comes before destruction and haughty spirit before a fall. It was the year of Christian apostasy, surprising conversions, evangelicalism cracking and dividing, the death of manhood, despair deaths, Pride-lust Marches, the failure of the Democrat establishment, and a rising persecution against Christian schooling, Christian discipleship, and homeschooling around the world. This is our annual year in review — interesting insight upon the world from 40,000 feet in altitude.

The left is more interested in imposing salvation by the state with ineffectual crusades and do-gooder agendas. Their imposed salvations become more tyranny, more taxation, and more frustration and futility for all. They miscalculate badly concerning the nature of man and the purpose of civil government. We point to the guy who was sentenced 15 years for blaspheming the god of homosexuality, and burning an $8.00 flag. Of course, it’s taxpayers who will carry the bill of $450,000 for room and board for this guy. The taxpayers have pretty much earned it. They elect their leaders. But, the root of it all — a really bad worldview.

Twenty years ago, Christianity Today Magazine had claimed that President Clinton was “morally unable” to lead the nation. Now, the same magazine claims consistency in recommending the removal of President Trump on moral grounds. Are 82% of evangelicals being hypocritical with their approval of Donald Trump over Bill Clinton? Evangelicalism is splitting down the center, and this provides an interesting manifestation of the divide. We carefully analyze the grounds of Christianity Today’s argument on this edition of the program. In the scheme of things, is there all that much difference between President Trump and President Clinton? More fundamentally — is there much of a commitment to God’s law on personal and institutional levels among evangelicals? Where will true reformation come to a nation? Will it happen in Washington DC, or in the grass roots of a nation?
