Dysfunctional Families
I recently gave a sermon-lecture on the implications of Genesis 4:1 for family relationships. I thought you might like to hear it. It’s rather long – about an hour and a half – with some discussion at the end, but I think you will have an appreciation for this one verse that you might not have had before.

UPDATE March 22 10:46am EST: We transferred the web server to a new host late last night. The audio files all still being copied over to the new location. (I didn’t realize Skip was posting a new audio clip this morning, and I didn’t give him enough advance warning not to post it. Oops!) So on ALL of the audio files (including this one), you’ll see a “File Not Found” error. This should be resolved in just a few hours though. Thx for your patience. -Patrick, Skip’s Tech Geek

I have a question concerning a hypothetical married couple who are both trying to live their lives according to God’s original design for husband and wife. Along comes a choice the couple is faced with, and there is disagreement between them. After much prayer both corporately and individually, the husband still feels that the direction he has chosen is the one God wants for them; yet the wife feels that God wants them to go another way. Who has the final word? [I specifically refrained from using an example to prevent any temptation to make the remedy fit the situation.]
The one who submits to the other.
I like that answer because, even though I failed to mention that either choice facing the couple was not particularly favored in Scripture, and they both prayed about it, that they no doubt believe in the sovereignty of God. Consequently, regardless of who submits to whom, God’s plan will be accomplished. One will have to be an Esther and go along with the other’s suggestion.
