The sheer force of the spirit of the age upon Christian colleges, churches, etc., is enormous. Who do we fear? Where is faith? Evangelicalism measures faith by superficial externals—passion, primal screams, image, the well-put-together makeup, the cool clothing, and a few religious cliches, and "encouraging" memes. But what does real faith look like in the present faith crisis?
The assumptions of systemic racism and the virtues of social justice are increasingly accepted without criticism by higher education. But Grove City College capitulating? That was pretty much the last bastion of critical thinking and a Christian worldview in America. We are amazed at the quick progress made by the Gramscians and anti-Christian forces in almost every institution of our day. The paralyzing fear of offending. . . the snowflakes, the race baiters, the social justice warriors, the BL...
A very public figure with a huge amount of influence in the Christian world and secular world, Dr. Francis Collins has also become something of a key prototype for the worldview apostasy going on among evangelicals and even pro-life Christians. He is the most famous theistic evolutionist in the country. He's the most famous Christian encouraging the vaccine in the country. He's the most famous Christian scientist endorsing homosexuality. . . and now, the most famous Christian in favor of using a...
It may have been the most important oral-argument hearing at the U.S. Supreme Court in our lifetime, as SCOTUS took up the Mississippi case today. Will babies be murdered for the next fifty years in this country? This was the best shot for those who wanted to salvage a nation. We take a blow-by-blow analysis on this historic hearing. Will the Supremes reverse Roe v. Wade? Amy Coney Barrett is the swing vote this time, but nobody's interested in providing the unborn child a right to life by the 1...
Much of the problems with our governments today tie in to a wrong view of economics. Why are our leaders so bent on destroying our economy and civilizations? Here, Calvin Beisner gets down into the foundational principles of economics, and explains the difference between a secular view and a biblical view.
Without exaggeration, we are looking at the greatest heist of all time. How did the most socialist governments in U.S. history succeed in redistributing the wealth into the pockets of the top 1% of the population? All animals are equal, but somehow, it always turns out that some are more equal than others. But what about cryptocurrency? Will this be a turn back towards honest money, or is this the worst investment in all of economic history? Is cryptocurrency a one last-gasp possibility for dece...
As the Christian West collapses and the Christian salt loses its savor, the remnant is at a loss for the agenda. We have reached crisis point. Where do we go from here? Does Marvin Olasky have a point, calling us to the role of peacemaker with the transgender agenda, etc.? Is the Christian role at this point to avert civil war, or to join one side or the other? The entire framework is changing. Here we realize that we are shifting from an ideological head-on war to more of a guerrilla war of ide...
When Christian conservatives and Republican Congressmen join the chorus of those casting gigantic curses at the president of the United States, what must we say? Are we cheering a race car driver, mocking an NBC interviewer, or cursing the president? The question deserves an answer, with this “Let’s go Brandon” chant. We are finding a rhetorical anarchy and an unravelling of common decency at the highest levels and the lowest levels of society—and among Christian conservatives. Are we discerning...
On this Thanksgiving Day 2021, we review God's amazing blessings on entire economies. How did we come to receive a median family income 30-times that which people were recipients of over 5,800 years of world history? The blessings came by Christ. . . far as the curse is found!
The vaccine mandates are not dead yet, and neither are masks. However, the good news is that the dust is clearing a bit, such that real data is surfacing finally. We take a moment to review the objective data available for the denominators on the death rate, making comparisons with more severe flu seasons. How does it measure up? We also touch on what churches should do that are facing national and denominational pressure to shut down in-person meetings.
The Marvel Universe is passing away with its lusts thereof, and so is Harry Potter and Dumbledore and the rest. How quickly the worldling faded with all his boasted pomp and show! Even JK Rowling takes her place. . . under the bus, on the twentieth anniversary of the franchise. We spend a little time talking through the “Eternals” Worldview, and then outline the general contours of the decline of a culture. The world passes away with its lusts, but he who does the will of God abides forever....
Sadly, for most Americans, Thanksgiving is nothing more than food, family, and football. But Christians know better. Rediscover our precious Christian heritage for which we should be profoundly grateful. Psalm 9:1 says, “I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Jerry Newcombe , Executive Director of the Providence Forum , about his new documentary entitled The Pilgrims which will air on the NRB Channel to...
With the exception of evangelicals, the peoples from every other church tradition are between 50% and 60% pro-abortion. Why did the churches surrender moral authority on this issue? The Church has an obligation to excommunicate those who knowingly support the killing of innocent children in this country. This was the Christian commitment dating back to Pastor Ambrose and Emperor Theodosius in the 5th century. What are we saying when a church in New Guinea won’t take a stand against cannibalism? ...
The Rittenhouse story has legs to it, and the nation is riveted by this young man and his self-defense case in the Wisconsin courthouse. Without adjudicating the case, we carefully analyze the biblical principles tied into it, and provide general applications to young men. . . to include a thoughtful consideration of the wisdom of Johnny Cash—Don’t Take Your Guns to Town.
Here we grapple with the fundamental question of how to engage with a post-Christian’ish culture. How do we equip our children to know the Christian worldview, to communicate an apologetic, and engage positively in an increasingly anti-Christian culture? How do they think, live, and speak in the world about them?
A listener asks the question: "So many of the Christians I speak with today are willing to just roll over, get the shot, hand over their guns...whatever the ‘authorities’ demand on the basis of Romans 13. I know we have to respect authorities as they have been instituted by God but I also believe that we have to resist tyranny. Can you offer any clarification regarding the application of Romans 13 and whether or not this is a blanket statement calling us to submit to any/all authority or am I mi...
With the insane amount of spending over the past decades, America is well on its way to an economic depression. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack address the oncoming wave of inflation as they speak to what Christians should be doing to prepare for this massive upset in our economy.
Regrets, second thoughts, and a distinct cooling effect are defining some of the Joshua Generation—the first cadre of homeschool graduates. The ra-ra, do-hard-things, take-America-back revolution seems to have fizzled out a bit for Alex Harris and World Magazine , not to mention brother Joshua Harris. This introduces an interesting discussion on puritanism and separatism, taking America back, pessimistic eschatology, salt and light, and the distinct desalination of evangelicalism today....
The enemy has tossed another slippery term into the mix, causing Christians consternation, dividing churches, and making more room for homosexuality. What in the world does “Same-Sex Attraction” mean? There are three to four different definitions, but the obfuscation is purposeful. Why are evangelicals so committed to the position that “Same-Sex Attraction,” “Incestuous Attraction,” etc., is not a sin? Four reasons here. How does a person repenting of homosexuality get in a biblical church? Here...
As the nation swerves more and more out of control, the civil magistrate abandons its obligations to maintain order in society. The legalization of shoplifting in San Francisco is only a slight example of the larger problem. But the most refreshing indication is that Christian news organizations are finally appealing to the Bible in two instances to buttress their "biblical world and life view."
The Bible warned us about false prophets and teachers–wolves that come for the sheep. This warning is just as prevalent today as it has been at any time in the past. So much of modern Evangelicalism has stumbled thousands, focusing on fluff and personal revelations, rather than the solid substance of God's Word. On this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson interviews Justin Peters of Justin Peters Ministries about the fake Gospel that is so prevalent in today's world, and what...
The World Leaders have almost total unanimity on a green agenda now, with wayward nations repenting of their failure to support the Emperor's New Clothes Initiative. We mosey up to the microphone to ask a few more pointed questions of the wizards that peep and mutter. . . . So what's the downside of more carbon dioxide? And how sure are you of that? How is the average global temperature of the last 40 years different than 1850, 1750, 1650, 1550, and 1450? And how sure are you? Did you have 50,00...
A Cato Institute report concludes that Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world. But why? What are the forces lined up against the Christian faith? For International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, here is a summary of the most serious challenges facing the church in 2021.
It was a major national stage for the parental rights issue in the state of Virginia. MSM is telling us parental rights was the hinge point for the Republican win. Parents are up in arms over Critical Race Theory and Sexual Perversion in the schools. And parents, family, sensible morality is making a little bit of a comeback. What makes Critical Race Theory inherently destructive within modern society? How must Christians engage this handgrenade, and defuse it?
Sins of the tongue is an everyday challenge in our homes. Sometimes the bickering, the tattletale-ing, and whining is getting out of control. How do parents handle this in the home? Here are some practical aids and balanced biblical disciple-ing tips for every parent dealing with this 7/24's.
Campaign donations or bribes? Government favoritism for Elon Musk. Big Pharma has increased from $20 billion to $310 billion per year, and Pfizer, J&J, and the rest are benefiting big time by government mandates. The high-level occupation is far more sophisticated than the dime-a-dozen bribes collected by petty bureaucrats in third-world nations. How do you fix all of that? How do you rebuild freedom and integrity into a system this messed up? The answer is self-government.
U.S. college registration had fallen by 4 million in ten years, a 600,000 drop in one year. At this rate, college attendance will halve in ten more years. Some 60% of 25-44-year-old workers in the force are saddled with debt. And the average debtor will spend a minimum of 6 years paying off the debt. For the college debtor of 1975, the average debtor could have paid it off in 9 months. Can you hear the dearth knell of the liberal college? Is it time to go back to the Jesus method for training pa...
We tell the macabre story of the HEK 293 aborted fetus and the use of the harvested kidneys of the little girl for the Johnson and Johnson Vaccine, and a host of other “wonderful” uses in this Brave New World. Then, we interact with Christian evangelical leader Al Mohler’s position on the use of the aborted fetal tissue cell line, and his encouragement to “get the shot.”
What has the world turned into? What have we become, in just two short years? How did Big Pharma and Big Government respond, and what effect has this had on the peoples of the Western world? Here we present the indisputable facts concerning COVID. There is quite a lot to debate. But these are the broad strokes—the clear trajectory of a world without God.
Homeschooling is looking better and better to a large percentage of Americans. Public schools have reported a 6% plunge in enrollment this year—even larger than last year. Here we address the myths, misconceptions, and negative stereotypes attached to home education with Yvette Hampton, host of the new film, School House Rocked . You can purchase tickets to watch the new film at https://watch.schoolhouserocked.com .
