Is relativity void of common sense? There is good and evil in the world evidenced by the fact we lock people in jail! So If God is the master story teller and if every good vs. evil, right vs. wrong or heaven vs. hell story reveals the character of creator God then where do I stand before the God who gives the spirit of life? Who am I as I flow through my short time here on this in between place know as earth?

Episode 145 – 10th Part 12 Zombies and Living Dead Things

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:44:03 -0800

My, not blind faith becoming a Christian (not a Blood sucking religious person) because of statics mathematics and irreducible complexity. Truth is what really made me a believer?

Hurt can build a stoney crusty layer around the heart, if we choose to numb ourselves in the midtst of pain the result is zombieland. Feeding on flesh without careing. Taking from others with out love, shark attitude rather then servant.

Why in zombie land is there more flesh eating sharks then humble willing to give servants?

I'm way to selfish and not as spiritual as I would like to be. But I do thank God he's still working on me and I'm not as selfish as I was.

Romans 8:5-8, Common English Bible (CEB) 5 People whose lives are based on selfishness think about selfish things, but people whose lives are based on the Spirit think about things that are related to the Spirit. 6 The attitude that comes from selfishness leads to death, but the attitude that comes from the Spirit leads to life and peace. 7 So the attitude that comes from selfishness is hostile to God. It doesn�t submit to God�s Law, because it can�t. 8 People who are self-centered aren�t able to please God.

Who among us has not experienced sorrow, pain & grief? (a loss, treatment, etc.) The art of life is the song we play as a result of the inevitable. Isn't the truth that deeper the pain the more robust the song?

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:14:19 -0800

Am I in earthbound hell? How much does Love have to hurt?!

"Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.�

"Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him; and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you."

In the reality of Micro disasters, On the eve of Dr. Piper�s prostate surgery, he wrote an article titled �Don�t Waste Your Cancer�. As I walk among the ruins in Haiti and in Japan, his words ring in my ears, applied to the context of natural disasters, �You will waste your cancer [disaster] if you believe it is a curse and not a gift.� In the midst of devastation, is that possible? What does that even look like?

Hebrews 13:5
New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, �I will never leave you nor forsake you.�

James 4:5-6
New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, �The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously�?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: � God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.�

Luke 11:13

Episode 126 - The Ninth Commandment & Exposing the lies of the beautiful people.

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 13 May 2011 17:08:59 -0800

Exposing the lies of the beautiful people is really revealing our own "dogmatic assumptions".
Faith is not ultimately found in intellectually stuffing doctrine in from the outside.
Faith takes root in the heart and grows from the inside out.
That growth takes place when an individual, behind their own eyes (not diverting off into the cup and ball trick of OPM other peoples morality) has the courage to examine their own individual heart effects and realize what they actually do place their hope in.
For me understanding the truth of the Gospel has grown my roots down to the point where I'm grounded in something that's true and real.
I know it's real not because I can prove it, but because of it's effect and continuing impact on my heart.

Relapse happens when we put second things first.
Change the heart and behavior follows. Change behavior first and the heart will eventually do what it wants to do, over being forced to do what it begrudgingly has to do.

                          THE CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON

                                by Immanuel Kant

                       translated by J. M. D. Meiklejohn

            PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION, 1781

 Human reason, in one sphere of its cognition, is called upon to consider questions, which it cannot decline, as they are presented by its own nature, but which it cannot answer, as they transcend every 
faculty of the mind. It falls into this difficulty without any fault of its own. 
It begins with principles, which cannot be dispensed 
with in the field of experience, and the truth and sufficiency of which are, 
at the same time, insured by experience. 
With these principles it rises, in obedience to the laws of its own nature�

Hebrews 11 (New King James Version)
By Faith We Understand 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 07:40:56 -0800

One's daily surface identitys authenticity occurs when one's emotional expression is let out and put on display. Feelings build up and rush out of the heart like a fire hose. Many times for the addicted person, Its exposing the fact that; where we are rooted is not deep enough to insure any sense of long term fullness, rest or security. Hope needs to be placed in a deeper foundation of solid truth.

Lifehouse broken lyrics:
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you.

2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (Amplified Bible)

⁷However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.

⁸We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;

⁹We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;

¹⁰Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the [resurrection] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.

From the song... "Lay Your World On Me"

I know you think you're all alone
I haven't been there when you've needed me
I didn't deserve the love you gave
But now I'm telling you I'm here if you need a friend

Give me your pain
Give me your anger
Let me be your rock
I can be the pillar of strength that you need
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
I can take the weight

Don't let it twist you up inside
Time never fails to make the heartache stop
You've got to let those feelings go
I'll give you everything I can if you say the word

Lyrics by OZZY OSBOURNE

1 Peter 2:21-25 (ESV) 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Mark 4:22 (New King James Version) For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

Quotes from the film �Inception�

Cobb: What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.

The seed that we planted in this man's mind may change everything.

You're asking me for Inception? I hope you do understand the gravity of that request.

Cobb: She locked away a secret, deep inside herself, something she once knew to be true... but chose to forget.

Quotes from the film �The prestige� Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.

Sarah: No more lies. No more secrets.

Alfred: Secrets are my life.

We'll have to dress it up a little. Disguise it. Give them enough reason to doubt it.

Cutter: Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

Alfred Borden: Everything's going to be alright, because I love you very much. Sarah: Say it again.

Alfred Borden: I love you. Sarah: Not today.

Alfred Borden: What do you mean?

Sarah: Well some days it's not true. Maybe today you're more in love with magic. I like being able to tell the difference, it makes the days it is true mean something.

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire

How do we stop stealing when stealing and staling is all we know? And how do we live in the truth when that truth may knock down like dominos the security of who we believe we actually are? The Truth is in reviled realities!?

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 09:22:12 -0800

'I thought I had gotten over the abuses in my past'�I had forgiven my abusers, stopped feeling like a victim, and felt like I was a stronger person. After reading Rid of My Disgrace, I realized there were still underlying issues I hadn�t dealt with that were preventing me from getting close to other people and, worst of all, preventing me from having a deeper relationship with God. Each chapter not only discussed each emotion that had been secretly weighing on me, but also showed me that those emotions don�t have to rule me. Jesus� death and resurrection apply not only to my sins, but also to the burden of someone else�s sin against me. My identity is no longer as �damaged goods.� It is �child of God� and with that comes God�s unending love. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced not only some form of sexual abuse, but other abuses as well.�

Proverbs 5 and Cultural Normative conformity.
Love, Marriage, Men, Wives and perfect?!

Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated always in her love.
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?

Episode 117 - Valentines day Theft! (Part 1) Proverbs 5 (8th Part 5)

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 09:20:40 -0800

Valentine's Day can be fraught with danger of identity theft.

Proverbs 5 (ESV)
Proverbs 5:1 My son, be attentive to my wisdom;
incline your ear to my understanding,
2 that you may keep discretion,
and your lips may guard knowledge.
3 For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil,
4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps follow the path to Sheol;
6 she does not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.

7 And now, O sons, listen to me,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,
11 and at the end of your life you groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, �How I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 I am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.�

Episode 116, 8th Commandment (Part 4) ID Thief (Part 2)

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:19:41 -0800

Dr. Tim Keller says in the book "The Reason for God":
Sin is the despairing refusal to find your deepest identity in your relationship and service to God. Sin is seeking to become oneself, to get an identity apart from him. . . . Most people think of sin primarily as �breaking divine rules,� but Like the Danish philosopher Kierkegaard knows that the very first of the Ten Commandments is to �have no other gods before me.� So, according to the Bible, the primary way to define sin is not just the doing of bad things, but the making of good things into ultimate things. It is seeking to establish a sense of self by making something else more central to your significance, purpose, and happiness than your relationship to God.

Jules: Ezekiel 25:17 The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

Episode 115 The 8th Commandment - Identity Theft?!

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 22:45:34 -0800

My faith is not in the hackers ability to crack my encryption attempts.
My faith is in the One who has redeamed me and my knolage of that keeps me safe. Therefore my own efforts at protecting myself are minimal at best.

Either He is our Keeper, or He isn�t. Yes, we should not be presumptuous and should use Common Sense, but we have lost sight of what true common sense is. How do we define LOVE? And as a result, how will we demonstrate LOVE in response?
If we are driven by dark anxious fear, it is not of God.

Episode 111 Intense Love The 7th Commandment (Part 6)

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 22:32:48 -0800

Is sin cheating on God? If Jesus is close and involved in our day by day lives. Then how does our relationship with him stay faithful.

Ephesians 2:4-10 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Romans 6:15-16 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

With the startling increase in emotional affairs, let me reveal some of the motives of the heart under the surface and expose the fule tank of our desires for such �affairs� and why it is actually breaking the 7^th commandment and on a real intimate heart level it is one of the most painful forms of adultery.

Pit Bulls and Nannies and What is a short perception span?

^{Romans 3 (amp bible) 28}For we hold that a man is justified and made upright by faith independent of and distinctly apart from good deeds (works of the Law). [The observance of the Law has nothing to do with justification.]

²⁹Or is God merely [the God] of Jews? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

³⁰Since it is one and the same God Who will justify the circumcised by faith [which germinated from Abraham] and the uncircumcised through their [newly acquired] faith. [For it is the same trusting faith in both cases, a firmly relying faith in Jesus Christ].

³¹Do we then by [this] faith make the Law of no effect, overthrow it or make it a dead letter? Certainly not! On the contrary, we confirm and establish and uphold the Law.

Episode 104 The 6th Commandment (Part 4) short term vs. Long term Victory! ex-addict, War Metaphor! (Part 2)

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:33:57 -0800

Air War and ground War! Action and Heart.
Ending the 6^th commandment on and encouraging note!
It�s not what you do but who you are.
Who your are changes what you do from the inside out.

Air war is seeing a hostile area flying in to attack it from the air. To declare War on my enemy!
Ground war is getting to the hostile area and dropping troops to gather intelligence about it from the ground.

Air War = Having the courage to take action!
Ground War = having the courage to let Jesus change my heart from the inside out.

Air war = This sin is killing me, My Family and relationships with others! Attack the problem behavior!
Ground war = This sin in not something I can simply quit doing, Its someone I�ve become.

Air war is coming up with a game plan to take on my enemy.
Ground war is saying goodbye to my best friend. Realizing and admitting the reason it today is my enemy is because over time it became my best friend.

Air war I need to pray but to who??!! It�s realizing we do not have the power to overcome our addiction with out seeking the truth of a higher power.
Ground war is realizing I�m a created being and there is a creator. I�m a spiritual being constantly being poured out all of the time. I�m a worshiper always spending emotional intellectual and spiritual energy, like a hose with no shut off valve, on going and without ceasing.

Air War is fighting to avoiding my triggers.
Ground war is facing the fact that I am triggered and asking why I�m sometimes thirsty to be triggered?

Air War is a choice to commit to the process.
Ground War is getting back up when you get knocked down.

Air War is disciplining me to get out of my covert zone and attending a church or go to a bible study and seek the fellowship of Gods imperfect redeemed people.
Ground war is realizing my addiction is an authority I submit to. And realizing Jesus is a friend not a foe and I can invite in the loving redeeming God, The Holy Spirit to take up residence in my heart.

Air War is having the courage to be known and committing to get and accountability partner.
Ground war is being a loving, venerable friend to another blood bought brother or sister (if you�re a female) in Christ, and together sharing honestly what its like to follow Jesus Christ.

Air war is responding to the call to make a change and doing the things it takes to change.
Ground war is opening my eyes, splashing on the cold awakening water and waking up to the fact that what I do will spring out of who I�m going to be today.

^{1st Corinthians 6:9-11 (the message)}Don't you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who don't care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Those who use and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don't qualify as citizens in God's kingdom. A number of you know from experience what I'm talking about, for not so long ago you were on that list. Since then, you've been cleaned up and given a fresh start by Jesus, our Master, our Messiah, and by our God present in us, the Spirit.

Ephesians 5:6-14 (The Message)
^6-7Don't let yourselves get taken in by religious smooth talk. God gets furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but want nothing to do with him. Don't even hang around people like that.

^8-10You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it! The good, the right, the true�these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.

^11-16Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ.

   Wake up from your sleep,
   Climb out of your coffins;
   Christ will show you the light!
So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!

A Breaking of the Sixth Commandment by the act of a human being intentionally causing his or her own death. As a former deeply, powerfully addicted sex addict Russ shares his own thoughts of suicide and the light he struggled to walk towards.

Jesus compassion toward the people at the end of there rope and his wake up call for the religious!

Luke 7:^{41-47 (}the message bible) "Two men were in debt to a banker. One owed five hundred silver pieces, the other fifty. Neither of them could pay up, and so the banker canceled both debts. Which of the two would be more grateful?" Simon answered, "I suppose the one who was forgiven the most." "That's right," said Jesus. Then turning to the woman, but speaking to Simon, he said, "Do you see this woman? I came to your home; you provided no water for my feet, but she rained tears on my feet and dried them with her hair. You gave me no greeting, but from the time I arrived she hasn't quit kissing my feet. You provided nothing for freshening up, but she has soothed my feet with perfume. Impressive, isn't it? She was forgiven many, many sins, and so she is very, very grateful. If the forgiveness is minimal, the gratitude is minimal."

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

For Steve @ XXXchurch and for Tyler. continued prayer for there families.

Sexual addiction and anger! What are the real life connections? Is anger really is a huge underlying issue for people struggling with sexually addictive behaviors? Is there an addiction under the addiction to sex that is fueling all our destructive addictions we see on the surface? Is anger bad or does it do you well to be angry sometimes?

And what does this have to do with the 6^th commandment? How did Jesus define murder in the Sermon on the Mount?

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 07:58:20 -0800

I wanna Trust! Do you? I did, but I didn't too. Kinda like I wanna lose weight and get in shape. And it's not even the work it takes to get there that I really see as holding me back. The truth is I kept asking... Do I really trust that all that effort is going to have me really feeling any better? And what about those goodie good people trying to help me? Do they have there own ego built up by helping others or do they really care?

It took me far to long to see that it was me! My own attitudes that came pouring out of me. The fule I was putting in my tank was self righteousness and that was holding back my recovery.

Russ answers Listener Email and put the sights on the shalt nots.

Love is the Acts of Love!? Yes. So honestly how do you deminstrate love?

Episode 99 - The 5th commamdment (part 3) Structure, Skeptics and Relationship

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 06:34:26 -0800

Episode 99 The fifth commandment (part 3) Structure, skeptics and relationship.

I�ve got issues with authority! But if I�m totally honest I know that I am ruled by a very real and oppressive form of governing authority.

Step one of the 12 steps - We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become unmanageable.

Realizing where we are and that life is (from a surface level) unmanageable is the first eye opener. Realizing the path of habits and heart level attitudes that got us there is the second.

What was the evolution of how I act, react, influence and choose to be influenced by others?

If intimacy is at the heart of all sexual ethics then future of the quantitative structure of all our love relationships (friends, family even spouse) are how deeply we care. And that governs how deep those relationships may or may not go.

Episode 98 The 5th commandment (part 2) an act of redeeming and the state of being redeemed.

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:43:45 -0800

Honor your mother and father! A commandment!? In recovery we all deal with the parent wounds. So how do we choose to honor our parents in light of the heart wounds we grew up in? How did I get so wound up in believing the lie that I need to love me first?

The fifth commandment is a screaming reminder of the challenge of grace and love out side the �me first� obscure spirituality of the post modern "make me feel better" culture.

Its the fact that real Joy comes for giving away the gifts we are given by our God who is our good and ultimate loving father.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10 NIV

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. Luke 24:27 NIV

The Fifth Commandment (Part 1)

Honor your Mom and Dad! A requirement by God? Really a Commandment?! Yes, Love a real not self serving kind of love, can be taken on in our own heart by asking our selves �how we do the relationship with the closest people to us?� any many times that starts with how I do relationship with Mom and Dad. Learning to Love deeper sometimes takes seeing what we learned to be the norm growing up. What does it look like to love unconditionally in a world where things can and have and will, gone so wrong? Realistically is there such a thing as unconditional love? And honestly what does it really mean to be in a Covent relationship?

Episode 96 - Sexuality, Climax and Sabbath

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 06:57:12 -0800

In Episode 96 Sexuality, Climax and Sabbath Russ talks about the truth about Jesus over religion and the concept in social psychology of fundamental attribution error. And askes the very real question, what are the deeper meanings and in depth reasons for the 4th commandment?

Sabbath is a place our desire finds rest. Ok, then aren�t we all observing the Sabbath in one form or another? After a hard day where is it we go to find rest? And why sex?

Episode 95 - The Forth Commandment

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:56:37 -0800

Finding Rest, A day off to just Be and not Do? A day off is a good thing!

The Sabbath is one of the oldest institutions in the world, dating, as the Bible makes clear, from the very earliest appearance of man upon the earth, when God blessed and hallowed the Sabbath. Later, it was part of the Law given to Moses and Israel. Many Christians today are troubled -- considerably at times -- by the question: "Should we be observing the Sabbath yet today?" There are certain Christian groups who feel that this is the case; in fact they insist that we are not genuine Christians unless we observe the commandment of God to keep the Sabbath continuously.

Then Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. Mark 2:27 NLT

Heaven and Earth were finished, down to the last detail.

^2-4 By the seventh day
      God had finished his work.
   On the seventh day
      he rested from all his work.
   God blessed the seventh day.
      He made it a Holy Day
   Because on that day he rested from his work,
      all the creating God had done. This is the story of how it all started,
      of Heaven and Earth when they were created.
Genesis 2:1-4 (The Message)

Episode 94 - A review of 123

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:18:03 -0800

Attitudes of sexual integrity and sexual ethics.

A review of the most imporantant of the 10.

The 1st and 2nd and the 3rd commandments that calls Gods people to heartfelt embrace rather than trivializing the faith.

2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to
salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

The correspondence bias is the tendency to draw inferences about a person's unique and enduring dispositions from behaviors that can be entirely explained by the situations in which they occur. When people observe other�s behavior they often attribute that behavior to dispositional traits rather than situational factors (Aronson, Wilson, & Akert, 2007). The tendency for people to overemphasize personality based explanations and underemphasize situational factors is known as the correspondent bias (Miyamoto & Kitayama 2002).

Episode 93 - The 3rd Commandment.

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 08:07:07 -0800

The 3rd commandment! Taking the lords name in vain. Profanity in making the lords name trivial or superficial.

Exodus 20:7 �You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

^{Matt 23:23-24}Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you give a tenth of your mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected and omitted the weightier (more important) matters of the Law--right and justice and mercy and fidelity. These you ought [particularly] to have done, without neglecting the others.

²⁴You blind guides, filtering out a gnat and gulping down a camel!

Episode 92 The Second Commandment

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 06:07:11 -0800

"You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I The Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Commandments." (Exodus 20:4-6 RSV)

We are all created as small c creators by his glory. Violation of the Second Commandment takes two general forms; first, the worship of false gods by means of religious statues or pictures, and second, the worship of the True God by means of religious statues or pictures.

The Ten Commandments, Sexual Ethics and the Decalogue.
the 'Decalogue'

Lyrics

'Mountain' Good Charlotte
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me
All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

Years go by and nothing�s slowing down the time
Years go by and then they�re wasted
All this time
I thought that I gained everything
But you're not mine
and I'm so empty

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came, when it came to me
That all my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams.

Episode 90 - intro to Decalogue, Sexual Ethics!!??

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Tue, 18 May 2010 08:15:05 -0800

The Ten Commandments, Sexual Ethics and the Decalogue.

So what about the law? Why even strive to obey about it?
Obey! Come on! I hate that word! Doing it just made me feel forgotten, ignored and alone!

Why do so many religious people would say 'people get what they deserve'?
A very unloving reaction to hurting people.

An unloving reaction to hurting people is also leaveing them alone. A life lived without direction. No teacher to teach playing the beautiful interments of life as to be free to make beautiful music.

Wait, I thought religious people where suppose to help hurting people? So why is there so much of a mess due to a break in sexual ethics?

Jesus says Over and over in the Gospels Jesus challanges the religious rulers with the Truth of Love and Grace.

(Matt 7:11-12) ESV�If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!' 12 'So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.'

Jesus also said in John 14:15 'If you love me, you will keep my commandments.'

John 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

Luke 7:47 ESV Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.'

Episode 88 - Hope and Strategy for the sexual addicted.

When the struggle sometimes seems insurmountable. What kind of plan, faith or knowledge that I can accomplish integrity?

And how does a heart of I get to press in and love result in a day by day want to? and how do we go from want to, to get to?

How did I do that? and continue to move forward? What did it mean for me to cross the divide from surface level behavior modification to a heart level (I want to)?

What fueled the determination and had my attitude move to a (I get to change) Heart condition?
And What are the plans for myself and ASI in the future?

Episode 84 - Ask a former Sex addict anything, It's a state of emergency!

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:20:13 -0800

A need for truth in the midst of a reality of knowing the lies better. I grew up being taught and believing lies! Lies are where I feel safe. I believe lies! Even though I know if I get honest they are destroying everything! and One question I get asked a lot is this... Define Religion? Are you talking about the cold law based Religion of the Pharisees? And what does that have to do with sexual integrity? Episode 84

Music by Pillar - State of Emergency!

It's a state of emergency
It's time we see
There's a need to take action
This is a state of emergency
We're too blind to see
All of these simple distractions

All our attention is directed to the mirror
We want to forget that people live in terror
We're their only way out and the time is right now
We gotta grab a hold of this moment

How far do we let it go
Before we all take control
We are the hands
We are the feet
So we gotta go
Stop waiting for someone else
To take control
(Take back the control)
We could be their last hope

Episode 83 - Ask a former Sex Addict Anything!

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:04:31 -0800

> Time magazine reported, At the 2003 meeting of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers online porn contributing to more than half of divorces in the U.S. Richard Barry, president of the association said "Pornography had an almost nonexistent role in divorce just seven or eight years ago."

> 70 percent of all internet porn traffic occurs during the 9-to-5 workday.

> Today, More people are terminated from there Job for inappropriate web use then alcoholism.

> The sex addict uses sex as a quick fix, or as a form of medication for anxiety, pain, loneliness, stress, or sleep. Sex addicts often refer to sex as their "pain reliever" or "tension reliever." In a popular novel, the heroine describes sex as "the thinking women's Valium."

Its time for a change! The Church historically as turned a blind eye to the fact of sexual misconduct. This Church is taking a stand!

Paul says to the Corinthians "It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans,"

This is now, today. This from the Barna report. "Born-again" Christians are more likely to go through a marital split than are non-Christians, according to a new study by the Barna Research Group.

Revelation 2:29 "Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches." (the message translation)

Have Christians today got good at making every thing look good on the surface?

Jesus said in Luke 4:16-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

Do we abide in that truth or merely believe it?

Episode 82 - The Full Armor of God - last show the stuff I missed. The New Young!?

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:49:44 -0800

Episode 82 - The Full Armor of God � last show the stuff I missed. The New Young!? Why is there so many references to the �new life� or �new beginnings� in Christianity? Can�t anybody stick with it? What dose it really mean to be young, again?

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

"For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 6:37-40 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

Episode 80 - the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit!

EPH 6:17 and takethe helmet of salvation, andthe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

Lyrics: Linkin Park - Easier to Run

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played

If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would, Its easier to run!

Episode 81 - Armor of God - Closing 7 prayers

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:24:19 -0800

It all makes sense right!? Has my heart caught up with it yet? Praying for grace realized, Relationship of love realized, Praying for strength, Praying for peace in my own heart as an ambassador in chains.

Eph 6:19-20 (ESV) and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouthboldly to proclaimthe mystery of the gospel, 20for which Iam an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Eph 6:19-20 (Message) And don't forget to pray for me. Pray that I'll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.

Episode79 - Armor of God - The shield of Faith

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:11:25 -0800

The shield of Faith - I want to call your attention to this one piece of the armor carried by the blood bought. The shield that Paul had in mind here is not the small, round dish looking thing, but the oblong, door-like shield, measuring 4' x 2 ', curved to the shape of the body and carried by the Greek and Roman soldiers. When joined together, these large shields formed a wall behind which a body of troops could hide themselves from the rain of the enemy's missiles.

These military shields were made of wood, covered on the out side with thick leather, which not only deadened the shock of the missile, but protected the frame of the shield from the fire-tipped darts used in the artillery of the ancients.

Contrary to popular teaching, faith is not mental delusion, behavior replacement or presumption and it is not evidenced by self-bolstering surface sucess, but a work of the Holy Spirit from the inside out. Roots to fruits.

EPH 6:16 (KJV) "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."

Rom 10:17 (NIV) Faith comes by hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Episode 78 - Armor of God, The Shoes of Readiness!

russ@digitalaudioproject.com (Russ Shaw) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 07:35:50 -0800

Visualizing the need for shoes! the ground is hard, hot, sharp and like it or not we need to strap on, to put on shoes. to get us up to embrace the comming days with readiness.

Ephesians 6:15 (Amplified Bible) And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.

1 Corinthians 9:27 (Amplified Bible) 27But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit].
