The Generations Radio Program

Will we save a nation by closing borders? What in the world could possibly salvage a post-Christian Europe - where church attendance scrapes 2%? Half of London’s church attendees are immigrants. So how will closing the borders save the nation? Shall we surrender the culture to atheists or Muslims?  Tough call.

The Generations Radio Program

The civil government is given a responsibility by God but hasn’t followed through on it well since the 1920s. Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:4 are clear. The trend was set in the wrong direction in 1846, largely due to the influence of one man, John O’Sullivan. His worldview was dead wrong. We touch on the gradation of priorities set before the civil magistrate by God according to the standards of biblical law. Which national governments are doing better than others?

On this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow address the importance of being part of a church. The church is not a club. The church is a body of people accountable to each other. If pastors are to be held responsible for the people they shepherd, how can they do this without ever seeing the sheep? How can church goers submit to a pastor they don't even know? Where does church discipline fall into play? How important is membership?
