The Generations Radio Program

It was the year the nuclear arms race reengaged . . . the pink socialist tide rolled back over South America . . . Elon went up and back down again . . . Trump came back down . . . Roe v. Wade reversed but the loyal opposition didn't show up for the midterms . . . Queen Elizabeth's death ended the Christian era in England . . . persecution against Christians boiled over . . . the evangelicals squished on the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and the remnant toughened. Join Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus for a fast-paced year in review in the 2022nd year of the King.

Disciple nations by disciple-ing families to disciple their family, one family at a time. That's the strategy handed down from Scripture, and the Generations team is united on the vision. Here is a drive-by history of Generations with Kevin Swanson, Chad Roach, Joshua Schwisow, and Daniel Craig.

Every family should be pro-life and contribute something to the greatest need in our society today—saving souls and saving lives. Here’s a user-friendly, easily engaged, everybody-can-do-it approach to get out there for the pro-life cause. Children are dying in this country . . . by the millions. It is the glaring need, the crying need of the day. To be silent . . . is to be complicit. To refuse the light . . . is to allow the darkness to dominate. How can your church become a House of Refuge for Life? How can your family get out on the front lines of prayer? How can you turn on the lights in the gathering darkness? 

As the world goes nuts with every form of paganism, what will Christians do with tattooing, cannibalism, hired wombs, creating clones, three-parent children, polygamy, etc., etc. We encourage Christians to a thoughtful confrontation with the present Brave New World instead of mindlessly accepting its ethics and practices. Here is some discussion on snowflake adoptions. We also talk through the question of renting a house to a couple living in fornication. And we take up another question on activists who resort to cursing politicians. Christians must be more and more on their game—not babes in the woods—when it comes to this world that has declared war on God (especially in science and social moral standards). At the least, let us look for a redemptive trajectory in the midst of the devastation of modern science and modern life.

Wayward religions, weird cults, ecstatic expressions have played a role in certain revolutions. We trace the roots of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia to the rise of cults, moral anarchy, and a few other influences. Certain ecstatic expressions open up to the demonic, and this we find in the Bolshevik revolution as well as the firsthand testimonies of men like Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc. How do we avoid these dangerous excesses even within certain sects of Christianity?

Skipping church for Christmas is like opting to celebrate your wedding anniversary alone. Is family time more important than the body of Christ, enjoying the presence of Christ where the church is gathered, and celebrating communion/fellowship with Christ at the Lord's Table? Which is the priority according to biblical imperative? This actually introduces a more fundamental question. Is the church really necessary? Does one really have to belong to the body of Christ as a member in particular?

Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them. Referring back to Germany and Russia at the turn of the 20th century, we identify the seedbeds for a worldwide explosion in anarchy, revolution, and world wars—bringing about hundreds of millions of deaths. Moral anarchy, economic stresses, demonic infiltration, and national pride are roots. Biblical wisdom cautions about this business of taking a mad pit bull by its ears.

What's wrong with this testimony? "I want to be justified, but not sanctified. I want to be forgiven, but not cleansed from my sin. I want to be dead in my sins, but still forgiven of sins. I want to be free to sin, but not free from sin. . . ." Salvation does bring new life, and forgiveness is always attended by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The subject can be controversial and a bit complicated in places. But here Dr. Joel Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, lays out in plain, accessible language for us—the necessity of holiness, the theology of holiness, and the way to holiness. An essential message for ALL CHRISTIANS!

The Circuit Courts are battling it out, but finally the Democrat-appointed justices are still winning out in terms of sheer numbers. Two moderates on the US Supreme Court have been tipping private property rights the wrong direction. Christians need to hold consistently to free speech AND private property rights, but what does this look like? Suppose a 501 c(3) pro-life organization or a pro-life plumber hires somebody who spends his Saturdays campaigning for Joe Biden. They fire that person, and then get sued on a 1st Amendment basis. Or suppose a Christian school hires some teacher whom they discover later to be protesting for "Gay Rights" on Saturdays. What about a private university that disallows teaching on Evolution . . . or disallows teaching on Buddhism . . . or Islam? Do I have the right to not allow a Buddhist club to organize on my campus? The only way out of this . . . is to privatize all education now.

Designer babies. Gene editing. Automated abortions at the push of a button. Mechanical wombs for hire. The pieces are already in place for baby farms. The modern world has depersonalized, dehumanized, and de-relationalized at every stage of human life. We give multiple examples of this, but the final step is the mechanical womb. Researchers say it's about 10 years out now. It is the abolition of man, and Christians are the only ones on planet Earth who have what it takes to restore relationship and real love.
