Vampire Myth, Episode 106. Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires... (Godsmack Lyrics) What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? What is it about the vampire myth that explains our interest? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? - #Quote Godsmack's Song Vampires I attempt to answer this question as well as so history of the Vampire Myth.

Romans 3 (amp bible) 28For 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.] [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.

Air War and ground War! Action and Heart. Ending the 6th 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.

Episode 102 the 6th commandment (part 2) a conclusion of self. As a former deeply, powerfully addicted sex addict Russ shares his own thoughts of Suicide and the light he struggles to walk towards.

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 6th commandment? How did Jesus define murder in the Sermon on the Mount?

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!?

Episode 99 FIVE! #TenCommandments

#10Commandments

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?

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?

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 NLTHeaven and Earth were finished, down to the last detail.  2-4 By the seventh day       God had finished his work.    On the seventh day      

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).

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!

"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 CharlotteI wasn't on a mountain When it came to meAll my life's been wasted Chasing shallow dreamsYears go by and nothing’s slowing down the timeYears go by and then they’re wastedAll this timeI thought that I gained everythingBut you're not mineand I'm so emptyI wasn't on a mountain When it came, when it came to meThat all my life's been wasted Chasing shallow dreams.

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 wo
