We find two basic heresies that are often promoted in country music. Country Music Television cancelled Jason Aldean for suggesting that law and order might work better in small towns. But then, CMT promotes perverted forms of sexuality in their annual awards ceremony in April. Dolly Parton has led the cultural revolution against God's law order since the 1990s, and we conclude that nobody is more responsible for destroying the morals of the heartland and the nation itself than Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks. We present the sharp worldview contrast between what God says and the self-idolatry, self-expression, self-love, and self-definition presented by Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton.

All the flags are on the field now. A recent survey found that pornography viewing among underaged kids under age 17 now stands at 75%, up from 42% in 2014. While about 300-400 children are kidnapped in this nation each year, 25,000,000 children are introduced to pornography at ages 10-17, with the average age of first exposure at 12 years old. The universities are leading the way on this. Fully 23% of university students have identified as sexually perverted (LGBTQ), and liberal arts colleges claim a homosexual population of 40%. Only 1.5% of Harvard University professors claim to be conservative. Over 80% claim to be liberal, and 37% very liberal—an increase of 8% from the previous year. Parents must wake up and smell the napalm in the war of the worldviews . . . and the war for the minds and souls of their children. Adam and Kevin provide a list of practical things you can do.

Christians fall down before the wicked these days and corrupt the springs. Sadly, the church hardly speaks with a unified voice against the false religions that are capturing our institutions everywhere. Tyranny descends on the nations in every generation largely through fake Christians, do-gooders, prohibitionists, social-gospelites, social justice warriors, and other antinomians. We explain here why Woke is bad, why feminism is bad, and other worldly ideologies that are counter to the laws of God. Churches want to avoid the discussions because they want to avoid controversy, or they say that they are committed to "the Gospel." But the law of God is part of the teaching related to the Gospel itself. Reject the law of God, and you have rejected the Gospel.

Picture the stereotypical liberal academic—the archetypal feminist living the lesbian lifestyle. Is this beyond the reach of Christ's transforming grace and the Spirit's mighty regenerating force? Don't even consider it! Rosaria Butterfield tells the story of her radical conversion from lesbian feminist to pastor's wife and homeschool mom. The world says that it is impossible for a leopard to change its spots and a homosexual to change his/her orientation. But our God specializes in this kind of thing—and yes, it is supernatural. Don't miss this great interview with Rosaria Butterfield!

With the release of the blockbuster film, the fight against child trafficking has become something of the Cause Du Jour. While there are millions of slaves that head towards the Middle East and Africa for Muslim households, and others that are shipped into Europe and North America, we want to be sure to include the full list of causes available in a sinful world. Don't forget the 15,000,000 babies killed every year in this country by abortion and abortifacients . . . and  the 12,000,000 young people who have been groomed into homosexuality by the public schools . . . and the 308,000 young people 13-17 years of age that are being encouraged into transgendering right now in this country . . . and the seedbed in which sex trafficking is developed . . . the 150,000,000 people accessing bad websites in this country . . . the 360,000,000 Christians persecuted for their faith . . . as well, the 8 billion people who need the Gospel. Where do you start?

Americans are cooling their enthusiasm somewhat for sodomy and drag queen presentations for 6-year-olds and claiming a little more social conservatism. But, these sins represent only the tip of the iceberg. What about the rest of the iceberg? America is the porn capital of the world by a factor of 12-fold (on a per capita basis). Pro-aborts are much more passionate about the issue than pro-lifers . . . on average. In 2004, there were only 5% committed pro-abortion voters . . . that has increased to 17%. In 2004, there were about 9% committed pro-life voters . . . now it's still about 9%. Here is one solution for this reticence to repent . . . root and branch.

Sadly, it was the liberal arts and literature of nations that led the apostasy of nations and opened the door to mainstreaming homosexuality. The pioneers were William Shakespeare, Marlowe, Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, and Oscar Wilde. The great literary giants seduced the mind and the heart of a nation over a generation, and they're still doing it. We go over Shakespeare's homosexual sonnets, Louisa May Alcott's testimony on her lifelong gender confusion, and Oscar Wilde's testimony at his trial. The greatest risk in the education of children is literature and the curriculum chosen. It's time for a reformation in liberal arts, especially among homeschooling families.

Only 1% of American millennials under 30 years of age hold to a biblical worldview, while 56% of them say they are Christians. Here is a program for the 24,640,000 millennials who think they are Christians, but don't think like Christians. Here we explain why Humanism, Islam, Buddhism, Mormonism, and Hinduism are wrong, and introduce a solution for 24,640,000 millennials.

Harry Potter is the biggest pop-cultural phenomenon in the post-Christian zeitgeist today. The tenth movie in the franchise raked in $400 million last week at the box office. After reading the eighteenth encouragement from Christian reformed/classical/literary enthusiasts to embrace Harry Potter, Kevin Swanson finally reads the book and watches a Harry Potter film. Shall we encourage our eight-year-olds into this fantasy genre? Or would this sign us up for the Matthew 18:6 treatment? Here is a careful analysis of the Harry Potter worldview in this parallel universe of autonomy.

Most everybody acknowledges by now that there is something very wrong with the modern evangelical mess. Young people are seeking the authentic, the biblical, the true, the essential, and the foundational. It is the God-centered. It is the work of God, not the work of man. It is the fear of God . . . and heart-love for God—and it will manifest itself in music.
