How does one fight the wars that are raging today around things like abortion or the homosexual agenda? Is just anyone suited for the fight? We must remember a few basic principles, not least of which is that we are fighting principalities and powers as we engage the battle with the culture. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss strategies for the fight, and review the life of Anita Bryant on this edition of the program.
Nothing encapsulates and exemplifies the spirit of the age like Joe Rogan. The modern youth are enraptured by diversions, a constant stream of the f-words, conspiracies, drugs, and UFO’s. In a word . . . unhinged. This is nihilistic, hard-edged, constantly-vacillating relativism on steroids. Sadly, the young people in the church have been affected by this spirit. The only possible solution is to be nailed down to the deck of God’s truth (God’s law-word) with 400 sixteen-penny nails.
Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still some who have the courage to do it in the public forum. Dr. James White is one of the nation's most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years. Here Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage the battle in the dangerous war of ideas—with meekness and fear.
The teenage phenomenon and peer culture has captured the modern world. The thing was born on October 12, 1944—now almost 80 years ago. Only the 98-year-old men and women would have been there to commemorate this revolution. For 5,944 years of world history, there was no peer orientation and peer pressure as what kids face today. Here, we bring a biblical comparison between fearing God (and honoring parents) and fearing peers. The destructive consequences of this social revolution are everywhere ...
Everything is excused in the alternate universes created for the fantasy worlds in an age of rabid autonomy. Post-Christian man is cutting himself loose from the bonds of God’s law in his own imagination. This begins with Matilda Joslyn Gage and Frank Baum and then continues with the J.K. Rowlings of the world. The same sort of thing is happening now with the Western infatuation with pagan manga and anime.
Somebody’s lying. The Federal Reserve and the Keynesian economists play the shell game with the people, and it is an outright violation of the 8th and 9th commandments. Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts. Here is one more attempt to uncover the most massive heist of all time—and it’s the widows and retirees that are hit the hardest.
Hollywood and the big film industry lost another 3.9 percent year over year, down 47 percent over 2002. And the Golden Globes throws away its awards to two trash films that nobody watched. Hollywood is passing away with the lust thereof . . . the stars are tarnished. This is going down. Will Christians go down with it?
The most urgent issue in the news must be the leading cause of death in the world—killing 175 million people a year, as compared with 8.2 million people who died of cancer, 5 million of cancer, 1.7 million of HIV/AIDS, and 1.35 million from traffic fatalities. Even Christians pass it off, and don’t pay much attention to it. But, God cares.
The millennial generation’s regular church attendance rate is 18 percent, down from 55 percent with the Silent Generation. We caught up with Josh McDowell, the youth guru, and we're asking him the million-dollar questions. What will salvage the millennial generation? What's the message? How to compete with the electronic revolution? If you've heard about the debate on presuppositional and evidential apologetics, you need to hear about your life apologetic.
What does the Bible say about immigration, nationalism, and borders? Is there a point at which the salad bowl of multiculturalism turns into a time bomb? What happens when a nation jettisons its Christian common denominator? Dr. Phil Kayser joins me to talk through these important issues that touch quite a few nations in our present day.
Christians too often delve into the culture. They kowtow to it, and fall down into it, and further pollute the spring. In the name of Christian liberty, almost everything is permitted, but what was it that Romans 14 was talking about? Shall we encourage more or less interaction with pop culture, and at what point are you stepping over the line and having communion with the unfruitful works of darkness?
Here are the gutsy pro-life ads that interrupted The View, the World Series, and other programming during the presidential campaign. Whether God uses a donkey, or Jonah, or anybody else, the prophetic word gets out for these empires that attempt a coup against the Almighty.
Get the whole year in 20 minutes, siphoning US events and world events through a biblical world and life grid. Here is an excellent bird’s eye view of the progression of history, the shocking US election, the destabilization of the world, the second nuclear arms race, the popular cultural trends, the state of the church, and the death of socialist leaders in the West.
Action films have changed shape since the heyday of Stallone, Willis, Gibson, and Schwarzenegger. More women, more explicit gore, more ethical ambiguity, and more hard-edged nihilism all around. But, what about the vigilantism, the venge-fests, the blood lust, and the pride and reliance on self? Did they include God in the picture, or is all of this to the glory of man? Here is a worldview analysis of action films.
With one final treacherous policy decision, President Joe Biden sweeps almost every federal prisoner on death row into a free-room-and-board program for the rest of their lives. Whence cometh this softy-wofty treatment of ax murderers and serial killers? The root is found in a corrupted 19th-century theology. Human governments are supposed to be some expression of common grace that dates back to the Noahic covenant—but not much anymore.
Crazy worldviews produce crazy consequences. That principle cannot be better illustrated than with Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and the man who’s got the ear of the most powerful man in the world. We dissect the Musk worldview, ultimately the same atheistic worldview as Douglas Adams and Richard Dawkins. We discuss the limitations of science, as well the internal incoherence of a materialist, deist/atheist worldview. There is no basis for any meaning in life, but Elon Musk still grasp...
THIS PROGRAM ORIGINALLY AIRED IN 2021. As we celebrate this Christmas, we review once more the accomplishments of this great King. Can we really say that kings and queens will kneel before Him? What did Christ do for the world over these 2,000 years with the aid of His followers? What would the world be like if Jesus had never been born?
There cannot be a more needful topic for the hour than this. Discipleship is the mission. Discipleship is what is lacking, especially the discipleship of the disciplers, in the age of education, institutions, and seminaries. Brian Croft from practicalshepherding.com provides immensely helpful advice based on his experience and ministry work over the years. This is especially good for parents and pastors.
There is a transgender tug-of-war going on over children. Some states are staging themselves as sanctuary states for transgender surgeries for kids and children’s rights. Others will stand for parental rights. The only question that matters is this: What does the Bible (i.e. God) say about transgenderism and parental rights?
Isolation. Exclusivism. The sovereignty of man. Fixated on external practices. A rejection of the historical church. This is what has characterized eccentric cults over the years. But, the fallout from gross heterodoxy and hypocrisy can be severe. But the biggest cult of all is the post-Christian, anti-Christian worldview indoctrination into atheism and humanism. This brought about a sexual revolution that did more damage than anybody could have ever imagined.
The left has taken a big setback, while the more libertarian side got a front seat in the 2024 elections. DEI, woke, the transgender crowd, and the feminists have all fainted in the bleachers. The MSM missed the game, and it’s pretty much over now for the CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS monopoly over the minds of the American public. The tower of Babel is crumbling into some strange pieces.
Homeschooling is no panacea, and exceptional challenges are present here and there . . . but homeschooling still introduces the most positive news in Western Christianity—when it comes to generational faith. Another comprehensive study just released confirms that homeschooling is two times to four times more effective than Christian schools for passing on the faith. Here Kevin Swanson and Dr. Brian Ray (president, National Home Education Research Institute, www.nheri.org ) review these outstandi...
Kevin and Bill discuss the importance of ideas, worldview, and art in culture. Tom T. Hall, a country singer and a nihilist, wrote a song entitled “The Man Who Shot Himself,” then ended up shooting himself and committing suicide over 40 years after the song came out. Ideas are powerful things. The habits and patterns that are set in younger years will affect the later years of our lives. This is why it is vital that we remember and fear God in the days of our youth, and separate ourselves from s...
A CEO of a big insurance company was recently murdered. This has been a priority issue for the news channels lately. However, why won't the news cover the thousands of babies that have been murdered in the womb? Meanwhile, Trump continues to double down on his lack of concern for the abortion issue. Abortion pills are being made available for sale in all 50 states, and the killing of babies continues unchecked. America needs to repent before it's too late.
Polygamy is on the rise in a post-Christian world along with other accoutrements of paganism. Occasionally, homeschooling families will migrate in that direction. But, why the move towards eccentric cults and cultic ways? We offer a few reasons on this edition of Generations, and biblical basis for calling polygamy an affront to God's law order.
Turns out the roots of The Wizard of Oz are firmly rooted in 19th century feminism with all its seances and penchant for witchcraft. We didn’t like the distinction between the good witch and the wicked witch. But now, this wicked witch is a little more personable and really good at heart. Here is why Christians are still against Wicked and witchcraft.
On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Marilyn Boyer about a new box set of books sold at MasterBooks.com . These books are focused on historical figures that, through God working in them, have influenced the course of history in incredible ways. Tune into this program for a more detailed look at these people’s lives, and go to MasterBooks.com to purchase the set for your family.
American fertility has dropped 21 percent in 14 years, and another 4 percent since 2021 (post-Dobbs). That’s 72,000 more babies lost every year to either abortion, abortifacients, or some other means. Expect another 80 colleges to close in the next few years. Already, 1,660 colleges have closed, and more are to come. That’s bad news for the blue left, but good news for the red right in this country, assuming the university is the cause of birth implosions and the bad worldviews that undermine th...
US President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on several firearms charges, but what does the Bible say about gun registrations and partiality in government policy? Will the president release everybody else convicted of crimes for violating unconstitutional and tyrannical gun laws? While the liberal governments violate the liberties of millions, they allow murderers to run free on the streets. What is the role of government as dictated by the Lord of lords? After all, civil magistrates a...
Anti-Christian, post-Christian America and the UK are turning towards polytheism and Hinduism as the operating religion, with Hindus and Muslims filling the void where the Christian faith has been abandoned. Hindus are also increasingly taking over Western governments, currently making up 0.7 percent of the U.S. population but roughly 10 percent of Trump’s appointees. Hinduism is polytheistic and hopeless. It has a confused ethic and views reality as an illusion. There is no value for the indivi...
