The Generations Radio Program

Christian charity changed the world, and then Karl Marx showed up. Americans still provide 1.44% of the GDP in charity. We're still the most generous nation on earth, but that's dropped off by half since 1924. Church giving has dropped off from 2.8% to 0.7% of the GDP since 1924. And most of church offerings go to clergy and buildings, while governments assign 20-30% of the GDP to social programs. Private church and the church were basically irrelevant in the area of true Christian charity. 

Is atheism dead yet? Eric Metaxas argues the point that the atheist position carved out in the Post-Christian West has actually become increasingly untenable. Atheism has become more anti-Intellectual or even anti-rational. How would Charles Darwin take the constant stream of evidence countering his far fetched hypothesis of advanced life forms evolving out of the inanimate over millions of years? While we wouldn't agree with the atheistic evolutionary construct, there are still internal contradictions that cannot be resolved by the committed atheist.

Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the use of the birth control pill today. The pill is known to cause abortions, but why are a large percentage of Evangelical Christian women on it today? Should God's laws mean something to us today?

The internet is a blessing and a curse. . . a double-edged sword. There are the misguided, the unqualified, the imbalanced, the downright unhealthy and cultic, everything from the sublime and ridiculous. We give a few examples of scripture-stretching and sweeping generalizations that prove unhealthy for the churches, and then outline nine basic principles of sound hermeneutics for the layman. 

Why do 95%+ of the top selling evangelical female authors in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 tout failed marriages and broken families? This thing is way off the tracks—the dysfunctional leading the dysfunctional into. . . even more dysfunctionality. While not pointing fingers directly at one particular author, we uncover the systemic problems with the whole edifice. Why do we keep pointing back to Psalm 11? The solution to the problem is simple: The Lord is in His holy temple. His eyelids try the children of men.

Ted Cruz's daughter doesn't like her father's policies, but what about President Obama's daughters and President Bush's daughters? Francis Schaeffer's son Frank is still unhappy with his father. But, while not delving into specific problems with a particular family, we go over the reasons why the hearts of the fathers and daughters/sons break down, and generational fractures develop. 

Christians are the last hope for political, economic, and social freedoms in the world. But in the present decline, how will a family pass a legacy of Christian liberty on to their children? While Christian liberty is not the freedom to sin, this liberty does begin with freedom from sin. It is only at this point that a true passion for liberty grows in the heart, to the point that we can advocate liberty in a world that is headed towards tyranny.

Russian President Vladimir Putin complains about the undermining of traditional family and faith by the abominations of the West. He's not pleased that Western values (or the lack thereof) are seeping into his country. However, Russia's Bolshevism already ruined the family a long time ago, and then, the Chinese communists quite successfully ruined the family, and then, the West's Gramscian Marxism went ahead and ruined the family out here. Given the utter devastation these Marxists have brought to the East and to the West, is it too late to salvage any of these civilizations? What can possibly reverse the birth implosions and the social destruction brought about by the Marxist zeitgeist of the last century? 

Given the present turmoil and the impossibility of returning to some sort of status quo, now how are we going to proceed with politics, the economy, and the church? How do we prepare for the great downturn in economics? And what about the church? There is a desperate need for three things: Discipleship. Preaching. The restoration of real worship. 

After this year. . . the world will never be the same. Here is a bird's-eye view of the stunning, once-in-a millennium, earth-shaking transitions going on in 2021. Things have not settled out yet. We are still in the middle of it. But, here is a helpful summary of what God did, and what He is doing with our world. Persecutions. Devastating national coups. Economic chaos. Unprecedented national disasters. What in the world is happening on planet Earth? Here is an eye-opening summary of nations on fire . . . a world in turmoil.
