Parents complain about their sullen, ungrateful, slothful teens, and wonder what to do about them. Even some home schooled graduates are still sitting around the house, supremely unmotivated and unfocused. Maybe they’ve rejected the idea of college, but Plan B is a little fuzzy, and they’re making choices that are even worse.
Kevin Swanson provides some simple biblical answers to these all-to-common problems. ]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[University Dorm Rooms -- Opposite Gender Roommates]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/19/2009 As Modest as Dogs
University dorm rooms now allow opposite-gender roommates, and Miley Cyrus continues to lead the teeny-bopping 14 year old girls to maturity, which is another word for breaking the 7th commandment. With the world losing all concepts of modesty and sexual boundaries, Kevin Swanson suggests that it's time to drag out the old biblical standards, and re-examine them. ]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Saving America with Smoking Hot Evangelicals...]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/18/2009 ...and Hockey Moms
Are we really going to salvage a nation where 95% of those getting married confess to marital sex, with the "smoking-hot sexiest evangelical of them all?"
And if the nation's real problem is that 40% of children are born without fathers and the family is breaking down, how will we save this world by conservative talk show hosts working on their 4th divorce, and Republicans whose families are in shambles?
Kevin Swanson is working on Plan B, just in case the above doesn't work on this issue of the Generations broadcast. ]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Is the Bible Sufficient and Authoritative....?]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/17/2009 ...in Matters of Faith and Life?
The Sufficiency of Scripture Conference
In 1480, the devil had a problem, a big problem. . . Gutenberg. For the first time in hundreds of years, the Bible would be accessible to the ordinary fellow in the common tongue. So the devil had to come up with Plan B, fast.
Now practically everybody in America has access to a Bible, but it doesn’t make much of a difference anymore. Doctrinal systems were created, diversions introduced whereby the authority, the relevance, and the sufficiency of Scripture were undermined. This would become the undoing of the Christian faith in Europe, Canada, Australia, and America.
Kevin Swanson interviews Scott Brown on the Sufficiency of Scripture conference sponsored by the National Center for Family Integrated Churches in Cincinnati in December. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Single, and Wants to Be Married]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/16/2009 Interview: Alex Chediak
Over the last 20 years, both men and women show a considerable increase in age at marriage. Men are now on average two years older when they marry than the mean age of marriage for men in 1980. Women are three years older on average now, than the mean marriage age in the 1980. This does not bode well for Christians who want to retain values like sexual purity, the integrity of the family, and a selfless, anti-existentialist lifestyle that doesn't implode birth rates in all the western countries. Ironically, 86% of singles say they "want to be married."
Kevin Swanson interviews Alex Chediak, the author of an important new book on singleness for Christians. Alex provides some terrific wisdom for singles, but also some helpful advice for church communities who have an interest in launching young people into adulthood and marriage. The goal, of course is to get these young folks from singleness to marriage without sexual sin, emotional heartache, and excessive delay. ]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[The Latest in Teen Entertainment]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/12/2009 Gossip Girl and Anime
Culture Check
With every generation, the mainstream gets more edgy in their entertainment offerings. Kevin Swanson refers to a shocking cartoon feature in the Sunday Post, where a child calls for a human sacrifice, just to keep things "interesting."
Programs that used to push the edge like Three's Company move aside now for Gossip Girl and the sexual confusion that dominates in this sick offering from CW Network. Then, Kevin analyzes the latest fad with American kids, not to exclude Christian children – Japanese Anime and Manga. ]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Married to Peter Pan]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/11/2009 Men who Won't Engage
So we have this society where 70% of young men are not grown up by 30 years of age, up from 30% in the 1970s. But what happens when some poor woman marries one of these men? Is she forced to wear the pants in the house while junior plays his video games and engages his sports hobbies?
Kevin Swanson speaks to an all-to-common struggle on the part of millions of Christian women across America. Society is changing dramatically and far more women will be the leaders, the producers, and the sustainers of homes in the next few decades. ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Should our Wives Work Outside of the Home?]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/10/2009 Put Another Log on the Fire
In the interest of avoiding controversy, Kevin Swanson takes on this little bugaboo. Even asking the question can bring the wrath of the feminists down hard. Many believe that asking the question is sinful, but Kevin insists that asking the question is worthwhile, actually necessary. He doesn't believe there is anything sinful about asking the question, "Should my wife work outside of the home?" You may be surprised how he answers the question. ]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Surviving Homosexuality in the Workplace]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/9/2009 Political Correctness on the Job
As Ian McKellan (better known as Gandalf) rips Leviticus 18:22 out of hotel Bibles, guys are getting fired for their Christian views on homosexuality in Boston.
The next 20-30 years do not bode well for Christians who have decided not to join the slouch towards Gomorrah. As homosexuality continues to proliferate for another generation or so, Christians will have to learn how to function in the marketplace. Kevin Swanson gives some careful advice on how to ford these waters. Do you cast pearls before swine? What is it to be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves? How do you stand for the truth, and avoid providing implicit approval for the idolatry as you eat the food offered to idols?
If you or your children plan to be in the world at any time over the next 30-40 years, you should listen to this program. ]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Family and Freedom in Sweden]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/6/2009 Homeschooling Outlawed in Sweden
Often touted as a success story of socialism, Sweden is now turning into an oppressive nations for those who want to homeschool.
Mike Smith, president of HSLDA joins us to discuss homeschool freedoms in Sweden and Germany, and the battles that were fought in the 1980s and 1990s to codify homeschool freedoms here. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Barack Hussein Obama -- Year One]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/5/2009 Obama's Most Important Accomplishment
One year after the election, America's 41st president has already clicked off a number of items on his agenda. But what is his most important accomplishment? Foreign policy. Socialism. Hate crimes. Economic recovery. None of these will come close to Obama's most important accomplishment in his first year as president of the United States. ]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Government's Attack on Family Freedoms]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/4/2009 Breaking Down the Family
Over 50% of children in America will receive their food from the federal government by way of food stamps. And now government is seizing control of healthcare as well, not to mention its almost complete hold upon higher education and K-12 schools.
It is a truism that the family is no longer as strong as it was fifty years ago. . . No debate on that one. But what have governments been doing to assure the breakdown of the family in west?
Kevin Swanson outlines the steady efforts made by government to erode family solidarity, and what families need to do to begin to oppose these efforts. ]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[What Happened at Richmond High]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/3/2009 America's Gibeah
Occasionally, something extraordinarily horrifying happens that indicates the magnitude of the depravity to which a nation has sunk.
Last week, a 15-year-old Christian girl at Richmond High School received the Gibeah treatment, and shock waves reverberate across the country. So far nobody has cut up a concubine and sent pieces across the country, and civil war may not be imminent. . . yet.
Read Judges 19 and then listen to this program.

Who or what has the most profound influence on your child? Who or what forms his attitudes, perspectives, morals, and loves? If a child gets 32 hours a week of television, 25 hours a week of classroom instruction, and 28 hours a week with peers, what in the world will a 30-minute Sunday School Lesson on "Jonah and the Whale" do for him?
Kevin Swanson compares the various influences on young children today, and concludes that peer-group contact is the most powerful for the average kid. Focusing on Proverbs 13:20, ("He who walks with wise men will be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed"), Kevin contrasts the kid who walks with wise men with the companions of fools. ]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Broadcast for Sunday, November 1, 2009]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=11/1/2009 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Raising our Sons and Daughters as Socialists]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/30/2009 How America Became a Socialist Nation
The front page of Newsweek magazine screams out, "We're all socialists now!" And we're finally starting to believe it. But how does a nation turn from freedom to almost absolute government control, where the state controls 70% of higher education, 95% of K-12 education, 65% of the economy, and 35% or rather, 75% of healthcare? First off, it's not because a president is shoving socialism down our throats. And you can't blame George W. Bush for it either, although everybody plays a part in it, of course. It is because our sons and daughters are raised TO BE SOCIALISTS.
R.C. Sproul Jr. joins us on the Generations broadcast to explain how we raise our children to be socialists. . . And how not to. ]]> Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Terror Spreading like Wildfire]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/29/2009 The Scourge of Islam
Over the first 50 years of the last century, there were only 20 recorded terrorist events. This year, we have had 199 so far, and the year isn't even over yet.
Terrorism is on the increase in many nations for several compounding reasons – tyranny and anarchy grow together, people have access to technology – they know how to build bombs, there are far more larger metropolitan areas today, and. . . the scourge of Islam has proliferated.
Here Kevin Swanson interacts with the front page of the newspaper, and contrasts worldviews. Why is Christianity far more peaceful and freedom-loving than the two other predominant worldviews that control national governments - Islam and Humanism? This edition of Generations provides helpful information on the theology, the metaphysics, and the ethics of Islam, and will equip you and your children with a robust apologetic for the Christian faith. ]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Carving out an Island of Freedom in Healthcare]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/28/2009 Interview: James Lansberry
With the socialist noose tightening and as Congress considers mandating expensive health insurance on American families, Kevin Swanson suggests an island of freedom for those people who still want it.
According to James Lansberry, Vice President of Samaritan Ministries, the language in the current healthcare reform bill still exempts Healthcare Sharing Ministries from this mandatory insurance (check out pages 103 and 199 of the bill). Some estimates put these insurance mandates at a cost of $18,000 per family, per year. Not only do these ministries save families hundreds of thousands of dollars in premiums over 10-20 years, but they may be the only island of freedom to keep us out of socialist systems heading towards euthanasia and infanticide for the less fit.
THIS PROGRAM CONTAINS VITAL INFORMATION for those families who are concerned about the rapid changes ahead, as post-modern society moves ahead with a Brave New World. ]]> Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Homeschooling Down Under]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/27/2009 Teaching a Christian Worldview in Your Children's Education
If you think America has lost faith, family, and freedom, or any semblance of a biblical worldview over the last fifty years, you ought to check out other nations like England, Scotland, or Australia! Yet, there seems to be a tiny remnant hanging on to relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. We found a family in Australia who has more than 1.4 children, is reintegrating family relationships, and understands the Christian mandate to apply God's Word to all areas of thought and life. Kevin Swanson interviews Joseph Stephen, homeschooling father of six, and author of several books, on this segment of Generations. ]]> Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Tightening Federal Control on Private Colleges]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/26/2009 The Ultimate Power Grab
Interview: Dr. Everett Piper
The ideas inculcated by higher education will form the leaders and the society of the next generation. So of course, since 1972 the federal government has increased its control of private and public colleges by 40-fold. The federal government is on its way to total control of 99% of all of higher education, by way of. . . you got it. . . federal funding of student grants and loans.
Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University concerning recent signals on the part of the Obama administration to tighten controls on the hiring practices of private Christian universities. Could this signal the end of the Christian college in America? Strategically, this may be the most important initiative on the part of the federal government to end freedom (including academic freedom), from American thought and life. ]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio

Right now, profound social and cultural shifts are driving political and economic changes that will impact every family in America in the next several decades. Failing to understand the times and take necessary steps to address these changes may very well result in the destruction of your family.

We have an opportunity unparalleled in this nation's history. The faulty economic system we have inherited from our great grandparents is failing. The salvific promises of a Messianic State will come to nothing. But this is just the time to rebuild our family economies on Biblical principles. Equipped with a Biblical vision, families will not only survive during these difficult economic times, but thrive!

For visionary families who want to be prepared for what God has in store, this is a conference you can't miss.

Now four hundred years later, their vision has almost faded. Liberty is dying. Humanism dominates. The family, by all indices, has disintegrated. But there still beats within the hearts of a remnant in this nation, the principles of the First Mayflower. In this 300 page manifesto, author Kevin Swanson lays out a vision by which the values of faith, family, and freedom may be salvaged for at least one nation for future generations. The voyage of the Second Mayflower is just beginning.

This is History 101. It is also the history that God thinks is important. While men were busy building their first proud empires, the God who created the universe is more interested in one solitary family wandering about the plains of Canaan, building altars and worshiping God as a family.
