The typical American family buys a huge house but spends little time in it. This is because we have gradually delegated away and outsourced many of the activities that are suppose to be done in the home. In this show I discuss nine of these activities that need to be brought home. Join me as a discuss the following:
In this show you will hear a recording of the message I preached to the people of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church from Genesis 37 regarding the hatred toward Joseph by his brothers. The outline is as follows:
The Causes for Hatred 1-11
The Acts of Hatred 12-28
The Consequences of Hatred 29-36
Principles
We must not repay Evil with Evil .
The Sins of the Father are often passed on to the children.
The Natural Conclusion of Envy and Hatred is Murder.
In this episode I am talk about something that is a passionate issue for me but sadly is overlooked by many in our society and the church and that is the issue of war and its devastation. Since September 11, 2001 we have been at war against terror which means for the last decade we have been at war. This can take an enormous toll on this nation and every other nation with which we have dealings. I have included a video from costsofwar.org as part of this blog and podcast to help us understand the enormity of this issue. The question I want us to think about in this post is what kind of legacy are we building as a nation and as a people with all this war?
In this show you will hear the message I preached to Mt. Tabor Baptist Church from Genesis 32:22-32. This was a real turning point in Jacob's life. The outline is as follows:
Outline
Retreat to Solitude 22-24
Wrestling with God 24-26
Requesting a Blessing 26-29
At the Mercy of God 30-32
Implications
Our most intimate times with God are when we are Alone with Him
In this show I discuss some of the aspects of the Nitrogen Cycle that are important for us to understand so that we can take advantage of it by working with it and not against it as a source of God's abundance for multiple generations. The Nitrogen Cycle is illustrated in the diagram below.
Join me as I answer the following questions:
What is the nitrogen cycle?
What are the four elements of the nitrogen cycle?
What is so important about nitrogen and the nitrogen cycle?
How can we make the most of this cycle?
What are the three things that available nitrogen in the soil can do?
What can weeds tell you about the nitrogen cycle on your property?

In this show you will hear a recording of the message I preached today to Mt. Tabor Baptist Church from Genesis 27 and 28 on the deceptive way in which Jacob received the blessing from Isaac. It is a passage that has all kinds of wrong action and wrong motivations by the people involved. The outline of the passage is as follows:
Isaac’s Request 27:1-5
Rebekah’s Plan 6-17
Jacob’s Deception 18-29
Esau’s Misfortune 30-40
The Results 27:41-28:5
The implications or principles that can be drawn from the passage are the following
God freely Chose us before we choose Him.
Bad Examples in this passage are not to be followed.
I have been fighting some congestion and tried doing the podcast today but my voice just was not strong enough. I hope to get the next episode out soon. Thanks for your patience.
In this episode you will hear a short discussion about sixteen principles that we try to follow in our home to keep order. Many of these principles are direct applications from the ten commands and others are general biblical principles. Some of them are simply practical. My goal is that you take these and adapt them to your home to help order your household. The sixteen principles discussed are:
You will seek the Glory God above all else.
You will be treated to the level of your displayed maturity
You will reap what we sow.
You will be responsible for your own and others property that you use.
You will speak the truth to one another in love.
You will complete your work before you play.
You will get more freedom as you show more responsibility.
You will obey your parents; quickly, completely, and joyfully
You will treat others kindly according to the golden rule.
You will limit your actions according to the environment.
You will be generous with your time and possessions
You will be courageous in your attempts
You will engage in constructive activities when you have idle time on your hands
You will use the computer for production, instruction, or communication (except for the one hour of electronic entertainment per day.)
You will not expect equal shares or fairness
You will disciple yourself to follow these principles or be disciplined by someone else.
Periodically on The Legacy Podcast I like to point out the way in which government and other organizations infringe on the rights of individuals and free markets. Here is the latest one. What makes this most tragic is that this young entrepreneur had saved his capital to invest it in business (which is what capitalism is all about), had negotiated a win win situation with the private owner on whose property he was operating, had submitted all the proper government paperwork, and still is told he can't do business there. We should be looking to this boy as a hero not a problem. It the restaurants cannot compete with a boy and a hotdog stand so have to get the government involved they have real problem and probably should go out of business.
In this episode you will hear a recording of the message I preached at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church this past Lord's Day. The text for the message is Genesis 22 where Abraham is asked by God to go to the land of Moriah and offer Isaac the son of promise as an offering. Some of the implications of the text are:
We must Obey God even if we don’t fully understand.
God will not have us do Contrary to His character.
God will Provide for what He asks us to do.
Tested Faith bring about Blessing
The pattern of the events are repeated in a more redemptive way 2400 years later when the Father offered His beloved Son as a Substitutionary atonement for His people.
Below you will find a short review of two different soil block/cube makers. Soil blocks are a great way to start seeds because they prevent much of the transplant shock, keep from having to keep all kinds of plastic trays around or purchase new ones each year, and they enhance germination because of the moisture of the cubes. The two that I reviewed are Johnny's Soil Block Maker, and Clayton Jacobs' Soil Cube Tool.
On any given Sunday morning in churches across America the family is segregated into different worship services. Typically, if the children are in the "adult worship service" at all it is only for the first part where there is a lot of singing and then they are dismissed to "children's church". In some churches the children are not in the "adult worship service" at all. I believe that this is the exact opposite of what needs to be done if we are going to leave a spiritual legacy. So in this show I briefly discuss seven reason why the children should be with the adults during worship. If you want to raise children who love the Lord and Love to worship God you don't want to miss this episode.
In this show I am pleased to have my son Graham with me as we discuss the movie Farmageddon. You will want to watch this movie if you are at all interested in farming and or freedom. The show is about the government authorities effort to execute the law on various small farmers. Join TLP for today's show as Graham and I talk about what we learned, what was most disturbing about the movie and what is the real problem and solution that the movie addresses.
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:

Rabbits are growing in popularity as a sustainable food source. I am on my second year of raising rabbits so I am certainly not an expert but in this show I will tell you what I have learned so far about raising rabbits for food. Join me for today's show where I address the following:
In this episode you will hear the message I delivered to the congregation of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church this last Sunday on Genesis 11:1-9, the Tower of Babel. The outline is as follows:
Outline
The setting 1-2
The Sin of Man 3-4
The Solution of God: Judgement 5-9
The New Situation 9
Implications
We must seek the Glory of God not our own glory.
If we disobey God we should expect Judgement .
We cannot reach Heaven on our own efforts.
God will accomplish His Will with or without the cooperation of Man.
Hey everyone. I built a solar dehydrator recently and wanted to show you all what the almost finished product looks like. It was a pretty simple construction. I had most of the material laying around already. I tried one batch of mint in in already and it turned out pretty good. I will try the tea tonight. The great thing about a solar dehydrator is all the energy is passive.
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.
