Is this another good reason to attend college? World Magazine reports 240 universities, including Christian colleges, now sponsor e-sports programs—fake sports for gamers. Sports were supposed to be metaphor for warfare. Now, here is metaphor on metaphor, and people watch gamers play games! Avatar 1 and 2 are the first and third biggest blockbusters of all time. Video gaming, a $40 billion industry at the turn of the century, ballooned into a $260 billion industry by 2020, surpassing the music and movie industries by fifteen-fold (and the entire sports industry by more than double). It is the escape from God's reality.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The progress of the green religion is pretty impressive. They tend not to lose their political and cultural battles. Now cities in America have signed up for a program called C-40 intended to ban meat, dairy, and private vehicles by the year 2030. That includes: Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. This is the doctrine of demons, and the basis is preposterous—greenhouse emissions, the worship of scientism, and earth worship.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Incredibly, for the first time in modern history, more Americans favor homeschooling than those who favor public schooling. Sixty to seventy percent of Americans maintain a favorable perspective on homeschooling, but only 29% of Americans have confidence in public schools. More Republicans (74%) than Democrats (56%) or unaffliateds (62%) approve of homeschooling for children. Why such enthusiastic support? But what about the 18% of homeschooled kids who oppose homeschooling? We provide four reasons why homeschooling might turn bad.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Children’s church, youth ministry, and highly age-segregated church programming fit well into the new social structures of the 20th century, but could not find basis in Scripture. Getting away from God’s order for family and church has been catastrophic for both. What if the church did what the church is supposed to do, and Christian families did what the family is supposed to do? What if both family and church experienced spiritual revival in the 21st century? What would happen in twenty years? Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The Gen Z’ers are “the best educated generation yet.” And they are 70% socialist as compared to 53% of Gen X’ers, 49% of Baby Boomers, and 39% of the Silent Generation. The correlation between the percentage of kids attending college and the percentage bending socialist is almost perfect. Phenomenal!

So many years ago, pastors and presidents would call for days of repentance, fasting, and prayer when disaster struck. But those days are long gone. When the Tower of Siloam fell or when fires struck Maui, Jesus would say, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Does that sound compassionate to you, or does the present age define compassion wrongly? Our response first is the fear of God, and then repentance, and faith, and an increased awareness of His judgements and mercies. Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Some Christian sects forbid all alcohol, alcoholic mouthwash, and painkillers altogether. Others rush into alcohol and tobacco with great zealousness and a distinct lack of sobriety. Men of the world look at alcohol, marijuana, peyote, and the like as essentials for a decent “good time.” But what about us? Shall we be filled with the spirits, or filled with the Holy Spirit, as the basic constituent of glad fellowship? More importantly, how do we prepare our young men to be sober, grave, thoughtful, wise, temperate, and full of Holy Spirit fruits? Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.
