The Generations Radio Program

Kevin Swanson attends the Bad Abortion Bill hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and here's the take away: There is no fear of God before their eyes, and "your story" is all that matters. Whether you killed the kid or saved the child, "your story" is everything, and they want to hear it. Sartre rules now. Choice defines essence, which precedes existence. However, Sartre represents the decline of civilization, just a brief postponement of cultural suicide.

While the faith is dying out in the Western world, some are rushing to water down the gospel in order to make it palatable for those running away from it. Will this watered-down gospel presentation produce any good fruit? Why not press the gospel claims of Christ hard? Why not call men "sinners" and call them to repentance like Jesus and John the Baptist did? Why not make it hurt? Is this the time to water down the gospel? Or is it the time to present the gospel with even more clarity and force? Evangelist Ray Comfort has taken the gospel to the streets. His message has impacted millions, and he's known for his straightforward gospel presentation.

Another Great Awakening comes about with the outrageously popular religion promoted by women shaking free of husbands, finding freedom in the all-about-me worldview. It’s the ministry of Hester Prynne, first envisioned by Nathaniel Hawthorne in “The Scarlet Letter.” This program also takes a look at the positives and negatives involved with Charlotte Mason’s teachings.

So, the feds used Christian leaders like N.T. Wright, Ed Stetzer, the Gospel Coalition's Joe Carter, Pastors Tim Keller, Rick Warren, and Russell Moore to push the party line on Covid vaccines and protocol. Pastor John MacArthur was out of the fellowship, and these other guys crowded in. So what is the lure of statism for these Christian leaders, that they would snuggle up so close with the likes of Dr. Francis Collins? The rise of statism really is testing the hearts. We also consider the question of strategy. While we don't want to argue over strategy, what is the wise approach to addressing the rise of statism?

The U.S. economy is now in desperate straits, inflation is on the rise, and spending bills continue to pass through unnoticed by the vast majority of Americans. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address the topic of economics and the importance of educating ourselves on these issues.

Andy Stanley airs his doubts about infallibility and the authority of Scripture, but still wants to hold on to a shred of evidentialism for the Gospel of Luke. The slippery slope of evidential apologetics gives way to full-bore faithlessness in the ongoing apostasy of the West. This gets us back into the basis for truth and the fundamentals of our faith. Why believe God's Word? What is a good basis for believing something is true, especially when it comes to the fundamental questions relating to reality and the purpose of human existence?

Here are the four killers of masculinity. While there’s no silver bullet, except for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, here are some helpful guidelines for raising sons—five practical things you can do now. By God’s grace, we can plant gardens in the ashes.

Does the church do best under democracy or dictatorship? The star pastor phenomenon is fading fast, but what is the best form of leadership? What does the Bible require for leadership and accountability for leaders? We consider the biblical pattern of eldership and the role of the congregation in selecting leaders in the church.

Doomsday bunkers are selling like hotcakes in quite a few nations around the world. Terms like "Nuclear War" and "World War III" are being batted around now. Russia has enough nukes to wipe out at least 7% of the world's population. Economics without the fear of God, science sans the fear of God, is not producing a stable society anymore. Crisis is the moment that tests our worldviews—what do we really, really believe of the things we know about God and His Sovereignty?

Paul exhorts Titus to go after the Cretan sins because soundness in the faith must include a rebuke on societal sins and repentance. Alas, this is all but missing in churches that are strong on a narrow band of piety and externalisms. Pastors worth their salt must go after the sins of the day, the foundational worldview issues, critical race theory, economic sins, abortifacients, and the utter apostasy of the public school. Why do they avoid worthwhile controversies, while tripping over less-important matters? There is a tie-in between national and personal sins, national apostasy and the apostasy that creeps up into the families in our churches.
