The Generations Radio Program

A Baptist Church in Los Angeles is incorporating worship music replete with the F-word, the S-word, and other expletives. . . in the interest of relevance. What is this “relevance” thing? This pastor is tired of hypocrisy, so what’s the solution? Let it all hang out. We discuss the desperate quest for relevance, and contract it with the need for holiness in the church today.

Would Jesus be on the right or on the left in the political spectrum? Would He be a Republican or a Democrat? The problem with these political parties is that none of them are interested in defining right and wrong by God’s laws. When it comes to crime, the Bible does not want magistrates to be partial in their treatment of Republican murderers, Democrat murderers, Nazi murderers, or Communist murderers. We take a look at God’s law as it applies to the Charlottesville suspect who is charged with murder, after reportedly beating his disabled mother.

The Game of Thrones rage rages on, setting new records in the seventh season. The HBO program is dividing evangelical Christians - John Piper and Kevin DeYoung on one side, and Relevant Magazine and Crosswalk.com on the other. What with 71 nude scenes, explicit rape scenes, and the stark nihilist worldview, too many Christians are positively in love with this show. What’s the attraction? Is it is a sin to watch soft porn, if there is terrific character development and accurate depictions of evil?

Christian seminaries are now encouraging Christians to watch horror movies and participate in their creation. The latest box office horror film hit, Annabelle Creation, is taking in another $100 million. The movie set was blessed by a priest, so is it really going to be okay? It’s the Sons of Sceva production company presenting the Sons of Sceva attempting another futile exorcism. Do we capitulate to the advice of Fuller Seminary and go watch more horror films? Kevin Swanson presents the worldview problems with the horror genre. There is a horror about what happens to the communicants who have fellowship with the demons while watching the horror films. But there is a horror even worse than that - the judgement of God.

Christians are sometimes encouraged to support tyranny. . .or anarchy. Both are dangerous. With the increase of socialism, big government, and the rising police state in America, Christians should get back to biblical law. What does the Bible say about the police state? Why should we prefer biblical justice over the regulative state? These are important questions considered on this edition of the program.

70,000 people are expected at the Wicker Man ceremony in Black Rock, Nevada next week. The tradition harkens back to the Celtic human sacrifice of the BC days (Before Christ). It’s called “radical inclusion” or “radical polytheism” to the point of embracing human sacrifice. Will Christians accommodate human sacrifice as they have the sin of homosexuality? Who are the leaders in the Christian evangelical world that contribute to the acceptance of sodomy? We name names on this edition of the program.

America is facing the possibility of nuclear attack from North Korea. Or is America’s real problem with China? Or is America’s real problem with God? The media does not help us maintain proper perspectives, because the media is more about sensationalism, and does not order its thinking by a biblical ethic. The empire is cracking. China’s GDP is 30 times what it was 20 years ago, and the United States’ GDP is choking.

The 2017-2018 school year introduces a whole different level of ungodliness for government schools in Washington, Hawaii, and Minnesota. Washington State school districts are mandating gender fluidity lessons for five year olds. We are finally asking the question. What would be wrong with sending Christian children into a whorehouse for their K-6 education? Should the answers be obvious?

CNN does a long, positive piece on Rob Bell, who is touring the Bible Belt as the "outlaw pastor." Rob is an apologist for doubters, and offers group therapy for those who have made their way out of the Christian church. But, we’ve been on this merry-go-round before. Kevin Swanson points out John A.T. Robinson, Paul Tillich, Jeremy Bentham, and Henry Ward Beecher worked the same gig in previous generations. At the end of the day, what is the basic ethic? The answer is obvious - whatever the world says.

As persecution rises and vindictive opposition against the church turns violent, should churches arm the leading brethren? Should churches lock and load? Kevin Swanson interviews Carl Gallups, author of a new book called, “Be Thou Prepared. . . Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble.” What about “Turn the other cheek?” Should Christians press the laws of God and fight for their rights, while at the same time forgiving those that despitefully use them?
