In this show you will hear the message I delivered this Sunday at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church from Genesis 15 on the Covenant God made with Abram. Even though the message of the passage was given to Abram more than 4,000 years ago the implications are important for us today. His covenant promises a people and a place. The covenant was fulfilled physically but also spiritually. It is the spiritual fulfillment that is encouraging to believers today. Here is the divisions of the text:

As is mentioned repeatedly on The Legacy Podcast, a strong marriage is crucial in building a multi-generational legacy of abundance. Unfortunately, marriages do not come without difficulties or problem. Join me for today's show as I address 6 of the biggest problems in marriage and some solutions. Here is the outline:
1) Communication
Problem: Difference between men and women
Typically women need to communicate more with words
Typically women are more emotion in communication
Communicate: no one can read your mind
Don’t assume: Makes an Ass out of You and Me
Consider the other person:
If you are the one who likes to communicate get to the point
If you are the silent type open up
Consider how you communicate your feelings
You.....
Always....never...
Instead use I feel....
2) Money
Problem: Different approach to money
usually one is more of a money cruncher than the other
Dave Ramsey calls this nerd and free spirit
Another problem is different priorities
The wife may want to go out to eat more and the husband may want to spend more on hunting equipment.
Usually the man is more interested in return and the women is more interested in security.
Solution is the Budget
This serves as an agreement, a map, so there can be unity.
Ask how important an issue is on a scale of 1-10 (not everything can be a 10.)
3) Sex
Problems of difference in desire
Usually but not always the husband has a higher desire than the wife.
It is easier for the low desire to rise to the high desire than vice versa
It is possible to develop to the point of loosing this difference
Solution: 1 Cor 7:1-4. Do what you need to do. Do it with all your heart.
Problem of difference in what is wanted
The male and female bodies are different and respond differently to different things. It is important to learn what your spouse likes and do that. This may not always be the same things either
If you do to your spouse what you want it may not be what he she likes best.
light versus no light
learn to compromise: not this time but next time. Trade offs.
Problem of difference in trying something new
Usually one wants to be more creative than the other.
My position: Nothing is off limits as long as it does not violate the Scriptures or is forced upon the other.
The one who wants is more creative: be satisfied and savor what you do get
The one who is less creative: take little steps in creativity.
4) Third Party (Inlaws)
Problem: too much interference from inlaws
Adult child support
Looking to parents rather than spouse to meet need
Ask spouse before going to parents
Problem: comparison
Wives have a tendency to compare their husbands to their dads
Husbands have a tendency to compare their wives to their mothers
Christian comedian Tim Hawkins “things you don’t say to your wife”, something about the cooking not being like moms
Just don’t do it. Either way you are showing disrespect.
Problem: unwanted advice
This is usually a problem of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws.
Don’t take it personally
If gets really bad the husband needs to protect his wife.
5) Children
Differences in how many
Should be determined by God
Differences in how often
Should be determined by God
Difference schooling
Should be homeschooled
Differences in discipline
usually one is more lenient than the other
Have agreed upon standards
One is usually more consistent then the other
Be consistent
Don’t let the kids play one off the other.
6) Expectations
Expectation that your spouse will meet all your needs
Only God can do that.
You can change your spouse
You can influence him or her but not change her.
1Pe 3:1-2 NKJV - [1] Wives, likewise, [be] submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, [2] when they observe your chaste conduct [accompanied] by fear.

This episode is a recording of the message I preached at church in which I pastor from Genesis 6-9 on the flood. I was a little off on this message but hopefully you will still be able to gain some value in better understanding the environment in which we now live as a result of the flood and the nature of the redemption that God offers through Christ. The outline is as follows:
The purpose of the flood 6:1-7, 11-13
The preserved from the flood 6:8-10
The preparations for the flood 6:14-7:9
The power of the flood 7:10-8:12

We are only given so much time in this life in which to build a legacy which means that we need to make the most of every moment.

Tell me a little about yourself and your family
What is courtship?
How does it differ from dating?
Why did you choose to court rather than date?
What did you learn in the process of your courtship about the courtship that you didn't know before you started?
What advice would you give to the parents that are listening who have preteen or teenage children who are wanting to date?
What websites, organization, ministries, etc. do you recommend for further study on courtship?
What advice would you give to the single man or woman who came to the idea of courtship late in life and are now living on their own but want to do courtship rather than dating?
In this episode I interview Doug Pruiett who has recently started a family business. I interview him on why and how he started his business with the hope to inspire others to start a family business where the next generation can be discipled, learn a trade, and contribute to society and the church.
Pruiett and Sons is a “father and sons” business that hand-crafts farm-style dining tables, benches, coffee tables, and more.
Doug spent seventeen years as an aerospace engineer at Cape Canaveral, working in the design and testing of long-range nuclear missiles.
In 1996 He went into full-time Christian work as a missionary, then pastor, and now an assistant VP of information technology for a Good News Jail and Prison Ministry.
He has always maintained his engineering interests and work in his Christian assignments. “My sons and I were taught the building and carpentry trades by a master-carpenter for over five years. One of my first lessons was that buildings (and most other things) do not require aerospace tolerances. Once I quit using a micrometer on everything, I began to build some nice things in a reasonable amount of time.”

In this show I talk about my encounter with a county worker who took my tax money this morning about the difference between theft and property taxes.
I ask the question: What is the difference between Theft and Taxes?
I also discuss what I consider some important principles relating to this subject.
1) The government should not be allowed to do what private citizens are not able to do
2) The threat of force to get what you want is wrong in all accounts except self defense
3) Mandatory participation in a program creates a monopoly and monopoly of service increases cost and decreases service
4) If you could loose it if you don’t pay the tax means you really don’t own it.
5) Taxes are doubly bad because they not only reduce your power but empowers the state
In the next section of the show I address some objections to the statement that Taxes and Theft are the same
