Here we are arguing over whether to kill a 6-week-old child or a 15-week-old child. Americans are okay with killing kids now. And Republican politicians are waffling on abortion bans. Imagine what it would be like to have a wise leader in Washington, leading a nation . . . or leading any nation for that matter? With the dearth of wise and righteous leaders, our nations and states have lost their way. We draw from Proverbs and other Scriptures to define what wise leadership would look like.

What ever happened to the 10 commandments? Digging into the first four, consider this: America is one of the most unrestful nations on Earth. This nation is more irreverent and tends to take God's name in vain more than any other nation, and the visual medium seems to attract a fixation verging on idolatry. Do we break these commandments at a more fundamental, principle level, and fail to realize it? And, what about the 4th commandment? What are the basic requirements of the 4th commandment before we get into the controversial elements? Here we deal with the fundamentals on the sabbath.

College enrollment in the US is off by 4,000,000 students. Fifty-one million people quit their jobs in 2021 and 2022. At this critical juncture in Western history, with the collapse of the nation’s character and with unemployment rates soaring around the world . . . the restoration of economies will have everything to do with mentorship and a focus on character.

The US Supreme Court tried to get Coach Joe Kennedy's job back, but the high court is powerless to change the heart of America. The coach lost his job anyway after SCOTUS ruled in his favor. Christians fight for symbolic battles, but they are losing the cultural war at every front. If a Christian school wants to fire an Islamic coach who prays on the field six times a day, do they have that right? What we need is a Christian state, but the only way to get that is to restore Christian churches to the nation . . . which might produce Christian senators and representatives and judges. We're a long way from that. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is get the government completely out of the business of education. It's got to be tough for public schools attempting to maintain a pluralism that includes monotheism, polytheism, and atheism at the same time. How do they pull that off?

The United Nations Education Framework 2030 promises to export social justice, inclusion, LGBT, and all the other wokey programs to the world. And they are making progress! However, the one thing standing in the way of this international agenda is . . . parents, and more specifically, Christian parents who are committed to bringing their children up in the paideia of the Lord Jesus Christ. Kevin Swanson speaks with Kevin Boden from HSLDA International on the battle for freedom on the international scene.

Every day on The Worldview, we feature another story of the persecution of believers somewhere around the world. Well, today, on Generations Radio, guest host Adam McManus interviews Michael Parves, a 61-year-old native Pakistani missionary, whom McManus met personally at church in San Antonio, Texas, who has experienced persecution first hand.
After growing up as a nominal Catholic who attended church twice a year, God got Michael's attention in 1993 when he miraculously survived a train crashing into his car. Since he trusted Christ as Savior, he has planted 33 churches!
But Satan hates to see the advancement of God’s Kingdom. So, in the Muslim-majority country, Michael's spiritual antagonists have burned down three separate homes of his in 2007, 2013, and 2020—all because he refuses to deny Christ and follow Allah. Plus, his eldest son was kidnapped in 2013, tortured for two weeks, and left for dead at 12 midnight in the street. Open Doors lists Pakistan as the seventh most dangerous country to be a Christian.
Five years ago, Michael founded an orphanage which now houses 87 children. (It costs $30/month to provide food, clothing, and medical care per child.) Providing food for the kids has become increasingly difficult with the skyrocketing 42% inflation rate. That’s why they’re raising the funds to build a self-sustaining chicken farm with 400 chickens outside the city. That will enable them to both provide cost-effective eggs and chicken meat for the orphanage, as well as a desperately-needed income stream.
Send a donation made out to: Rio Grande Valley Prayer Center, their sister organization here in America, 3106 Harmony Lane, Mission, TX 78574. Write: “Pakistan Mission” in the memo. The prayer center then wires the money to a nearby bank in Pakistan.
