Some are wondering if Russia's draconian anti-evangelism is bringing the nation back to the days of the Soviet tyranny. We status the situation by first hand account from a Russian believer on this edition of the program.  This program includes:  1. Generations with Kevin Swanson  2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Texas State Lawmaker Receives Death Threats, Volunteer Youth Mentor Arrested, Comedian Posts Disturbing Image)

Reformers of the 1920s like J. Gresham Machen saw the educational institutions and government-controlled systems as “far more dangerous” than the crude tyrannies of the past.  What would he say about our present day — with 5 times more government (as a percentage of the GNI) and 10 times more immorality?  We have hardly recognized the damage done to the family and to the church by our modern systems.  What the government funds, the government controls. And what the government controls, the government destroys (except for that which God has delegated to it). This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (More Arrests in Manchester Attack. Church of Scotland Goes for Homosexual Faux-Marriage, Tiger Woods Needs Jesus)

Young people are looking for cool churches and cool tattoos, or both.  What do Christian parents say to their children who are planning to get tattoos? Is the church still interested in fulfilling the Great Commission and teaching them to observe what God has commanded including laws pertaining to prostitution, tattoos, cannibalism, and divination? How do we disciple the nations in 21st Century America?  Must we teach children to honor their fathers and mothers?    This program includes:  1. Generations with Kevin Swanson  2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Ramadan to Bring More Terrorist Attacks, Planned Parenthood Racks Up Medical Emergencies, Christian Australian Tennis Player Boycotts Pro-Homosexual Qantas)

Taiwan becomes the first Asian nation to set a path towards the legalization of unnatural relations and homosexual marriage.  This introduces the subject of common grace, and the unusual condition in which God has chosen to withhold common grace from the world beginning in the 1980s. Why are the nations burning out en masse?  This introduces the question of eschatology. Does the rise of Christ's kingdom and the burning out of the nations encourage a pessimism or optimism?  This program includes:  1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Pastors are Responding to the Manchester Terrorist Event, Methodists Now a House Divided, Fourth Circuit Blocks Trump's Travel Ban)

Tragically, 2000 children attended the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, and three were killed (including one eight-year-old child). Geert Wilders thinks that Islam is the root problem underlying these violent terrorist events. Is Islam the problem? Or is radical Islam the problem? Or, is Ariana Grande the problem? Why would parents allow children to attend concerts that encourage gross sexual sin? What may we learn from the fall of the Tower of Siloam and other tragedies?  This program includes:  1. Generations with Kevin Swanson  2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Five Suspects Arrested in Ariana Concert Bombing, Taiwan Court Approves of Homosexual Marriage, Eight States Have Closed All But One of Their Abortion Mills)

What is the virtuous woman spoken of in Proverbs 31?  Modesty. Domesticity. Prudence. Contentment.  These aren't words we hear much anymore in the common vernacular, so here in this interview with Nancy Wilson we limp up to explain it once more.  Nancy Wilson is the author of 16 books for Christian women, young and old. You will appreciate the graciousness, the humility, and the matter of fact, biblical language without the sappy sentimentality in this exchange.  This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Jakarta Christian Governor Sentenced to Two Years, Oregon Bill Verges on Euthanasia, Trump Reacts to Terror Attack in England)  

President Trump is moving right, they say.  But, the rest of the country isn’t.  Of all the 19 moral indexes monitored by Gallup over the last 16 years, Americans are not moving conservative on not even one of them.   Young adults are far more likely to endorse homosexuality, illegitimacy, abortion, and pornography than the older generation by about 20-30 percentile points.  In fact, the millennials are 2.5X more likely to consider pornography normal and moral than previous generations. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Terror Attack at Ariana Grande Concert, Home School Curriculum Promotes Homosexuality, College Debt is Soaring)

Would more coffee bars, better stage lighting, and props on the stage of the church offer more demonstration of the Spirit and power in the ministry?  Here is a riveting testimony that should shake some pastors up, and awaken a laity up from their fixation on fun and games.   What does the church really need to be doing?  We boil it down, and I mean we really boil it down on this edition of the program.  What are you looking for in the quest for a real church? This program includes:  1. Generations with Kevin Swanson  2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Chinese Christians Receiving Torture, Two Abortion Providers Closing in Colorado, South Sudan Refugees Piling Up in Uganda)

Moms are wanting pieces of their aborted children encapsulated in jewelry.  Professing Christians will develop a sentimental attachment for popular music and movies that contain similarly grotesque elements. And, Lyndon B. Johnson produces a Great Society that further destroys the poor.  The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.   Sentimental music, sentimental thinking, sentimental preaching, and a sentimental view of children not measured by the standards of God’s law will lead astray.  Beware of grotesque sentimentality! This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson  2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Ravi Zacharias Discourages “Tepid” Christianity, North Korea Church Continues to Grow Despite Intense Persecution, Youngest Baby to Survive a Heart Operation is Doing Well)

Primetime television is breaking new moral boundaries with the Starz new production, “American Gods.”  The absence of the Christian influence and Christian preaching will mainstream paganism, human sacrifice, and homosexual porn, with a 98% approval rating from the reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes. We take up the question as to whether our daughters should be models and our sons should be actors. Shall we train our children to show off their “assets?” Can Christian actors use the F-word in the production even if they put it in quotes?  This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Indonesian Christian Governor Receives Prison Sentence, Last Wyoming Planned Parenthood Is Closing, U.S. Household Debt Reaches All-Time High)
