The Generations Radio Program

There is nothing more pitiful than a pauper pretending to be rich. There is nothing more deceitful than a political party always pretending to decrease tyranny, but instead increasing tyranny on the people—as in the case of the Republican Party. America still thinks she is rich and free, but she is extremely enslaved, poor, broken, bankrupted, wretched, and blind (spiritually and in every other way). There is no hope for a nation that won’t admit it. 

Praise God for what He is doing with the homeschool movement around the world! The enemy of course is always pushing back on family freedoms and parental rights; the bad guy has control of just about every school system today. But there are parents around the world—and not just in America—who love their children, are willing to stand by faith, and say no to these systems. Michael Donnelly from HSLDA joins us on this edition of the program to discuss the state of homeschooling in various countries around the world.

Some of the most challenging situations come up between grandparents and the parents concerning discipline issues with the kids. How do we handle different values and approaches in child training? And, what about older children living in the home who differ with their parents' standards? We handle a few questions from the listening audience on this edition of the program. 

Jordan Peterson issues one more sortie in an effort to save Western civilization, suggesting that young men go to church. The question still to grapple with is this . . . Does the system prevent young men from exercising innate strengths that could preserve human society? Or do the systems enable sin that is already latent within young men . . . and thereby further compound the problem? Interestingly, Peterson is less impressed with the Protestant churches. What would a church that affirms biblical manliness look like? 

Christian socialist Ron Sider passed away over the weekend but his legacy remains. Between 30% and 50% of the evangelical population have been influenced by his thinking. We take a look at his argumentation that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden's socialist efforts to "reduce poverty" would do a good job reducing abortion in America . . . whereas Donald Trump would not "substantially change" or reduce abortions in the US. Sider insisted he used the Bible as the basis for his ethics, and his political positions. What gives? 

As what may have been the last best hope for America, Kansas voters go against life by a vote of 59% to 41%—a complete rout. The democratic voting base is rotten to the core, even in the heartland. The US Supreme Court may have repented, but not so the electorate. What would revival look like if the heart of the people and the church repented? 

The first business trip recorded in history found Judah traveling up to Timnath—and it did not turn out very well. Kevin Swanson talks about the anonymity of the city and the resulting hotel porn traps that ensnare so many businessmen. 

Then we interview Theresa Bowen from A Candle in the Window Hospitality Network on a Christian ministry that actually promotes Christian fellowship around the world! This is one of the most encouraging and important interviews we have done. Rather than cursing the darkness, it is more fruitful for us to "light a candle," and that is what the Bowens have done with this ministry.

Somebody won the $1.34 billion jackpot in the Mega Millions lottery, but check out the stories of those who live out Proverbs 18:20. Why would Charles Spurgeon, John MacArthur, and others consider gambling a sin? The Age of Greed has given birth to the worldwide economic disaster we are facing today. Here is how it happened.

Millennials are especially upset with the church for being too political, judgmental, and anti-homosexual. But what do they mean by political? Are homosexuality and abortion political issues or ethical issues and sinful issues, which could be very well addressed by the Gospel? Is education a political issue, or a family issue? Definitions are helpful. We review a World Magazine article written by Kevin DeYoung on “Politics and the Church.” Is the church’s mission soteriological, or is the church’s mission to teach everything Jesus has commanded in His Word (per the Great Commission)? Do we equip the man and woman of God for every good work, in every area of life?  

Twenty-two percent of Republicans have squished on codifying Obergefell, and have joined the other side among the House of Representatives. This appears to be happening with the US Senate as well. Witnessing the squishing is one of the most outstanding experiences of our generation. But the fault doesn't lie with our politicians. The fault lies with the heart of the people. Seventy-one percent of Americans want homosexual mirage in place, up from 61% when Trump was elected. Trump did not bring a revival to America. America is not repenting. The Roe v. Wade reversal was not repentance. America is in tremendous degrade, and the problem starts with the church.
