The Generations Radio Program

Should the US join a world war to prevent Russia from taking over the Ukraine? How did America do in 72 attempts to change national governments around the world? We address the proposition that "if America ruled the world, we could fix all the problems." We summarize the wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, and conclude with the real solution for achieving world peace. 

A large part of a Christian's life is learning to be joyful and growing when trials knock us down. Kevin Swanson interviews Galen Horst, author of Chance & Change, a book about their family's journey through change, anguish, and providence. They address the importance of families growing together in faith and love for God, and in the midst of difficult times.

As Christian influence drops off worldwide, liberties are dissipating, and every pagan rite (like child sacrifice and sexual perversion) is on the increase in most nations. But the New York Times steps up to help us save evangelicalism, focusing on the social justice work of Tim Keller, Lecrae Moore, Beth Moore, and Russell Moore. And we're just not sure that's going to cut it.

Real scientists would say, "In God we trust. All else bring data." But people are less and less interested in double-blind studies, probabilities, and alpha and beta risks. Why are liberals so committed to masks and far-fetched evolutionary hypotheses? A four-fold increase of evangelicals or religious fundamentalists in the US embraced evolution between 1988 and 2019. There was a time however, when real Christians produced real science and technology that blessed the whole world. Bottom line, real science and genuinely helpful technology was almost exclusively the product of Christians, followers of the Carpenter from Nazareth. Every person in the world who drives an automobile, carrying a watch, using eyeglasses, and taking advantage of semiconductors should thank a Christian every day of his life; or better yet, thank Christ for bringing light and life to the world. 

Is there a place for moral outrage, a love for God and His righteousness? Does it help us to hear these reports of abortion, killing, sexual perversion, etc.? Do we need more rants about how bad things are? The prophets are criticized for their warnings and honest descriptions of the present evil age. But what is the proper reaction? Passivity? Paralysis? Depression? Vigilantism? Agitation? Anxiety? Despair? Political action? More endless harangues and deprecating commentaries on the radio? We resolve this question by urging confidence in God's sovereignty and God's perfect judgment, and the need for repentance and faith in a faithless and perverse generation.

The Fed has failed. Nothing can stop the inflation tsunami now, and there is no policy that can put Humpty back together after 40 years of debt, stimulus, quantitative easing, and lowering interest rates to almost zero. The hearts of men have failed them, and so has the US federal government. The money-god of Dagon has fallen, and all that's left is his torso lying on the steps of the Federal Reserve. Is God as concerned about stealing as He is about sexual perversion and child killing? We take a look at a compendium of verses in that vein.

It's a massive pandemic in the church, but recovery is possible. The problem has not subsided at all, but rather the opposite is happening. Author Jonathan Holmes provides a rescue plan, involving four angles—access, appetite, atheism, and anonymity. We take up important questions on this edition—How do you recover after a fall? What is fake repentance? What about battle weariness? Are you ready to commit to a 2–5 year, every day faith war?

When will Christians call Francis Collins, Fauci, et. al., to account for channeling millions of dollars into fetal tissue research projects? When will Christians call Francis Collins and others to account for rejecting the biblical account of Adam and Eve? The silence is deafening. Pragmatism is the ethical rule of the day when God’s law is tossed out. The biblical argument against the use of murdered adults or murdered children for Nazi experiments may be found in Proverbs 1:10-16. 

Several questions come up on this episode. Why were the Canaanites destroyed, given that they had no access to God's revealed law on incest, etc.? What should Christians think of In Vitro Fertilization and the much-increased risk of children dying? Is it a sin to adopt a snowflake child? What about GMO foods, and that formed out strange genetic manipulations? How will we ever recover science that fears God, away from the technocracy, the Frankensteins, and the pseudo-sciences of psychology, sociology, computer modeling, politically-correct science, and the other deformed spawn of the scientism-religionists?

As a civilization winds down, in God's providence, we hear the last of the prophetic voices still resonating through the asylums. He's been cast out of the Sanhedrin now, but the shock still remains. Jordan Peterson is unusual for his sanity, his sincerity, and his sobriety. He is quite sure that we are in a hand basket, and pretty sure where we are headed. He feels the guilt. He can even feel the heat from the furnaces of hell. But will he ever find Christ?
