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[Copenhagen Treaty, Rights of Child Treaty...]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/23/2009 ...Cap and Trade
Freaking Out Over World Government
What's all this trending towards centralization, as America surrenders national sovereignty piece by piece? If a nation can't handle it's own governance, how in the world are we to expect world government to do a better job at it? Kevin Swanson points out that huge centralized empires killed hundreds of millions in the 20th century, not to mention 40-50 million per year just in aborted children. It's hard to imagine the 21st century is going to be a whole lot better. So what to do about it? Instead of freaking out about world government and spending your years throwing rocks at the United Nations, what about putting a little time into worshiping God, building godly families and churches, and decentralizing your economy back to an oikonomia? What about fearing God, loving Him and keeping His commandments? ]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Bible Burning in North Carolina]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/22/2009 The NASB, the NIV, and the ESV
Bounds of Ecumenicity
A church in North Carolina advertises a Bible Burning of all the "wrong versions," and then people start tossing John McArthur, Chuck Swindoll, and Billy Graham books in the bonfire too.
Understandably, some churches are a little gun shy with ecumenism, in the midst of the cold storm of a Christian apostasy in the west. But Kevin Swanson points out that Christians have always struggled over the major-minor, gnat-camel thing. Then he lists some of the major questions you want to ask when choosing the sort of books you read and the Christian teachers you hang out with. ]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[The Challenges and Blessings of the Eldest Son]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/21/2009 Why the Devil Targets the Eldest
Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and David had major problems with their eldest sons. And this pattern continues into the present day. With 80% of children raised in Christian homes leaving the faith, the devil is well versed in his strategies. Go after the eldest son first. So a couple of dads in studios who happen to be working with eldest sons right now, talk about the challenges, the struggles, and the blessings in the process of grappling for the hearts of their sons. ]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Humanists vs. Christians]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/20/2009 The Way They Think
Unfortunately, many Christians think like Humanists, and they don't even know they do this. Kevin Swanson refers to basic philosophy textbook definitions of humanism, and points out that many if not most Christians actually believe these propositions! Yet, hardly any Christian churches would want to call themselves the First Humanist Community Church of Somewhereville, America.
Are you a humanist, or a Christian? That's a pretty important question, because now we're talking basic religious commitments on the Generations broadcast. ]]> Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Homosexuals, Surrogate Kids, and Other Sex Crimes]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/19/2009 This Brave New World
Arnie signs a couple of homosexual bills in California. Meantime homosexuals hire surrogate wombs in India to carry "their children." Out in North Carolina, registered sex offenders are prohibited from attending church. So what does the Bible say about things like sperm donations, surrogacy, and sex crimes? Kevin Swanson addresses the role of the civil magistrate and the church in a society that is unraveling faster than ever before. ]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Personhood and Embryo Adoptions]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/16/2009 Born at Four Years Old
Does life begin at conception, at 9 months, or at 4 years of age? Kevin Swanson interviews Maria Lancaster, a mother who carried an embryo adoption to term after the child had been in deep freeze for a full 48 months. The law still treats these embryo adoptions as the "exchange of property," but these adoptive parents should love and respect the beautiful life God has created.
And on that note, Colorado pro-lifers are going after the Personhood Amendment one more time, as are at least 30 other states. Kevin Swanson interviews Leslie Hanks from Colorado Right to Life on this important battle. ]]> Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[The Demographic Bomb vs. The Population Bomb]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/15/2009 Population Implosions
There are less children in the world now than there were in the year 2000, and now 90 nations around the world are seeing their populations imploding. The demographic bomb is about to implode, and economists predict an unprecedented worldwide economic collapse.
But we're in a good mood out here on the eastern plains of Colorado. You see, we've abandoned the worldview that dominates western societies – and we're planting gardens in the ashes of a burned out existentialistic, humanist world. ]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[Wearing an Abercrombie and Fitch Shirt to Church]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/14/2009 Displaying the Playboy Symbol
Kevin Swanson talks culture on this program, and encourages fathers and mothers not to be naive in the war of worldviews that is committed to consuming their children.
Symbols mean things, because they are incarnations of the ideologies that are rampant in the culture. Yet, most Christian parents think the incarnations are harmless, and the ideologies too complex to think about. And that is how their children are consumed in larger proportions with each generation. ]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST <![CDATA[The College Social Setting]]> http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Generations_Radio/?bcd=10/13/2009 Independence Day!
Christians and pagans alike seem to want their children to be "independent," at least if you read all the How-to-Raise-Kids websites out there. Kevin Swanson doesn't really understand what this word "independent" means. As in, independent of what? With the largest socialist voting block in America now as single, independent women, who of course are dependent on the social structure of the state, Kevin Swanson isn't really cottoning to that worldview. Do we want our children independent of the covenant structures of church and family? Do we want them independent of the state schools and state social security programs? Do we want them independent of God and His Spirit?
With this eye-opening program, you will see radical differences between the way that the secular socialists raise their sons and daughters and the way people who would follow the Bible would do it. ]]> Tue, 13 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!

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.
