The Generations Radio Program

While we have finally reached the apex of humanist pride (and confidence in man), this also turns out to be the most disillusioned age in history. What gives? The Gallup Confidence Poll continues to drop year by year since the 1970s . . . sinking another 5-7% just in the last year. Men have lost reason and faith, and the motivation to work. The working male employment ratio continues to drop and has steadily fallen since the 1960s. Women accounted for 82.8% of the 372,000-gain in June payrolls and now represent 49.9% of total US nonfarm employment. The social security crisis has finally surfaced, with a $160-billion deficit in 2021. The $2.7 trillion in savings will be gone in the next 14 years. But, the character of the next generation is destroyed. How do we recover now? Here are some practical directions on this edition of the program. 

Since 1980, half of American faith has dissipated, as measured by those who believe the Bible is God's Word. The apostasy is metastasizing now. Only 20% of Americans believe the Bible is the Word of God, and only 40% of evangelicals say the Bible is the Word of God (a minority). Partly, they don't like biblical ethics, and partly they prefer science over God's revelation. But, in the process, they jettison all certainty on basic issues. 

Four Catholic Justices and one liberal Protestant Justice did the right thing in reversing Roe v. Wade. But, why is America more pro-abortion than ever? Why so many deaths by high-efficiency birth control, the Plan B Pill, and the Kill Pill by mail? Is it too early to celebrate the reversal of Roe v. Wade? While it is true some elements of the Christian faith are toughening up, there is still a fear about speaking out on homosexuality and the use of abortifacients. American faith is still squished. 

Thirty percent of millennials call themselves homosexual, and incredibly, the percentage isn't much different for "born again Christians." The salt has lost its savor, now fit for the dung hill. The severity of this sin and the judgment of God have been too much ignored by the Christian church. Calvin College is encouraging homosexuality and has gone post-Christian. What would John Calvin say?

Three important technological advancements have occurred since 1990, allowing for the killing of 15 million babies, and rendering the discussions on surgical abortions almost moot or irrelevant. But then, Justice Clarence Thomas dared to speak up and point out the elephant in the room—the application of the 14th amendment to sodomy and abortifacients. Liberals turned apoplectic when one justice dared to touch the sacred cows of all sacred cows.

The #MeToo movement is dying off for lack of integrity within. And, the Southern Baptist Abuse Report lost perspective quickly, largely because the wrong worldview dominated the organization producing the report. We compare the incidents of abuse among the Baptists to the less-pious Catholics, and the even less-pious public schools (orders of magnitude different). Yet, there are deeper problems yet to be addressed among Baptists and all evangelicals today. Judgment and repentance must still begin in the household of God. 

College education is bankrupt, and so are those attending. College graduates are in 34 times more debt (adjusted for inflation) than they were in 1970. The world view and social view has turned into something both Anti-Christian and Anti-Social. This is the stuff that destroys human society. So what are the solutions? We talk alternatives on this edition of the program. 

Since the leaked Supreme Court Dobbs decision on May 2, 2022, radical pro-abortion activists have vandalized or firebombed 60 pro-life pregnancy resource centers, reports LifeNews.com. 

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Jim Harden, the CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Center in Buffalo, New York, whose pro-life medical office was firebombed on June 7th, reported the New York Post.  

Harden said, “This is the pro-abortion Kristallnacht.” Kristallnacht was The Night of Broken Glass on November 9th, 1938 when Nazi leaders smashed the glass of the Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues, and homes throughout Germany. 

Jane's Revenge, which issued a May 30th statement about their “Night of Rage,” has claimed responsibility for many of these violent acts. 

On June 15th, Jane’s Revenge released a second disturbing statement in which they said, "We have demonstrated in the past month how easy and fun it is to attack. We promised to take increasingly drastic measures.”

The group’s name is a reference to the “Jane Collective,” an underground group in Chicago that helped mothers obtain illegal abortions prior to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

In their conversation, they discuss:

*  The letter from 120 Congressman urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the acts of abortion terrorism.

*  How New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochel called pro-lifers as sub-human.

*  Harden’s 6-point Pro-Life Equal Protection Plan.

*  How medical pro-life pregnancy centers will compete with the faltering abortion empire.

*  The dangers of chemical abortion pills which women are ordering by mail and taking at home. 15% of them will become infertile.

On this Independence Day, discover how the pastors of the American colonies, derisively called the Black-Robed Regiment by the British, boldly taught their congregations the Biblical principles to resist tyranny.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dan Fisher, author of Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment: How the 18th century church stood for liberty and why it must do so again.

Dan is the co-pastor of Fairview Baptist in Edmond, Oklahoma, a former member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2012-2015, and ran for Governor in 2018. His vision is that the American church will regain the “spirit” of the original “Black-Robed Regiment,” and once again actively engage in defense of truth and liberty. In an impressive 60-minute, multi-media presentation in full period costume, Dan travels the country to portray these heroic men of American history complete with verified artifacts from our War of Independence. (Check out his schedule).

Adam and Pastor Fisher discuss:

*  Pastor Peter Muhlenberg of Woodstock, Virginia who took off his black robe in the pulpit, revealing a colonel’s uniform, and challenged the men to fight.

*  Pastor Jonas Clarke of Lexington, Massachusetts who trained his men to prepare for the April 19, 1775 showdown with the British which led to the shot heard ‘round the world on Lexington Green.

*  Pastor James Caldwell of Elizabethtown, New Jersey who brought hymnals to the Minutemen to use for wadding to fight the British.

*  Pastor Naphtali Daggett, president of Yale, who rallied 100 students to fight the Redcoats, which led to his capture and brutal treatment.

*  Pastor John Treadwell of Lynn, Massachusetts, who kept a loaded Flintlock in his pulpit, and who narrowly escaped death at the Battle of Bennington in Vermont.

*  The disturbing similarity between the church in pre-World War II Germany and the American church today.  Both have, by and large, remained silent in the face of evil.

If you are one of the first 5 Generations listeners to email Adam at [email protected], he will send you a free copy of the Bringing Back the Black-Robed Regiment book ($20 value) and the 90-minute DVD or Blu-Ray ($20 value) that features Fisher in period costume along with other actors and re-enactors of battles. Include your full name, mailing address, and whether you want the DVD or Blu-Ray.

There is a narrative going around currently that promotes the idea that Christianity has brought oppression to the world. However, in reality, it is just the opposite. Christianity has changed the world by helping put an end to slavery and human-trafficking, oppression of widows, human sacrifice, and many other unethical and evil practices. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Sharon James on her book, “How Christianity Transformed the World.”
