These two don’t go together do they? Christian people along with the rest of the world associate God with love which is accurate by the way. God is love. But too many people adjust God to suit their own needs. Many times we define God out as this love”y” dovey being that sits on a rainbow and just loves to watch over us. This God hears all prayers from saint and sinner alike. He gives us many ways, outlets, and roads to salvation. It may shock many of you, but God does hate. The God of Jacob, Abraham, and Isaac is a jealous God. You may be thinking, “How can you say that?” I did not say it. God did. As recorded in Joshua chapter 24 and verse nineteen, Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve the LORD. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins. With that thought, let us look at the message at hand; the things God hates: Proverbs 6:16-19 16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. The first part that we see is haughty eyes and a lying tongue. Haughty also means proud. The Bible teaches about pride very clearly. Most people even those unfamiliar with the rest of the Bible can ramble off, “Pride goes before the fall,” and not really know what it means. Having pride in something or someone is not a bad thing, but being prideful is. Let us take a look at what the Bible says about it. Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. How does God feel about those wrapped in pride? Isaiah 11:25 11 They will spread out their hands in it, as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim. God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands. 4 It is pretty clear what God says and how he feels toward the prideful. God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands. Those who think they are all that and a bag of chips do not stand a chance against Almighty God. Speaking of those who see themselves as all that, let us look at possibly the beginning of arrogance; Satan. Isaiah 14:12-15 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. [c] 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." 15 But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. Lucifer, son of the dawn, fell with and because of pride. He wanted to be more than God, but he found out real quick like how wrong those ambitions were. We as a people are like Satan in that regard. We suffer from a, we think therefore we are, it if feels good do it, Hey, you can’t judge me mentality that places us on the same level as God. So what happens when we become like Satan full of pride? But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. The pit and grave by the way is hell. Have you ever had a layer of sticky gunk on your tongue that just would not come off when brushing your teeth? No, just me then. Okay. The tongue is a little piece of flesh with a lot of power. Even the cleanest mouth can kill with an untamed tongue. Let us look at the Word of God concerning the tongue. Proverbs tells us that God hates proud eyes and lying tongues. What else does God’s Word say about the tongue? James 3:5-10 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the 5 parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. The tongue cannot be tamed. It’s evil and full of evil. We cannot say, “Praise God” one moment, then “Go to hell, you sob” the next moment. I am guilty of this and daily, I continue onward growing in Christ. Psalm 34:13-14 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Continuing in Proverbs, it teaches that not does the Lord hate proud eyes, a lying tongue, but also hands that shed innocent blood. This by the way doesn’t mean we can go out and mow down convicted killers. Nonbelievers love to question this and tear it apart. The scripture not my side note. They say more people have died in the name of God than anything. Here is what I know. God ordered King Saul and many others to kill and destroy those who opposed Israel. I will not pretend to know why. God says, “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion” (Exodus 33:19). The mature in his faith Christian can read this verse and feel peace. We as a people do not and cannot fully understand the nature of God. We have his Word, but we grow and learn more about God each day. But anyway, let us go back to the beginning of the first murder. Cain killed his brother because of pride. Abel’s sacrifice to the Lord was accepted and good. Cain’s was not. Cain allowed anger and aggression to engulf him. Do we know what God said to Cain before Cain went on to kill his brother? Genesis 4:6-7 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." Wow. God told Cain that he had to master it (sin). God has not changed. He is with you now. He is telling you and me Christian brothers, Christian sisters that we too must master it (sin). The way to master sin is for us to fall at the cross Of Christ! 6 Cain was punished. Now Jesus in the Gospels taught that if we are angry at our brother without cause, we too are like murderers. This makes you think does it not? God is a loving God, but he is a jealous, vengeful God as well. There are too many to list, but here is a real simple to the point nugget of truth from the Lord.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor John Stauffer Christina Katherine Adkins Slavery and the Civil War in Cultural Memory Abstract That slavery was largely excised from the cultural memory of the Civil War in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly by white Americans, is well documented; Slavery and the Civil War in Cultural Memory moves beyond that story of omission to ask how slavery has been represented in U.S. culture and, necessarily, how it figures into some of the twentieth century’s most popular Civil War narratives. The study begins in the 1930s with the publication of Gone with the Wind—arguably the most popular Civil War novel of all time—and reads Margaret Mitchell’s pervasive tale of ex-slaveholder adversity against contemporaneous narratives like Black Reconstruction in America, Absalom, Absalom!, and Black Boy/American Hunger, which contradict Mitchell’s account of slavery, the war, and Reconstruction.

    Pentecostalism and Nigeria: New Forms of Religious Life

    PENTECOSTALISM AND NIGERIA: NEW FORMS OF RELIGIOUS LIFE. Gabriel Olumide Apata Goldsmiths College University of London Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration I declare that this research is the result of my own independent research except where I have indicated my indebtedness to other sources. I certify that this work has not already been accepted in substance for any other degree, nor is it being submitted concurrently for any other degree. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is my good fortune to have come under the supervision of Professor Mike Featherstone and Professor Scott Lash as my first and second supervisors, respectively. I wish to thank them both for their support, patience and intellectual contribution to this project. Professor Mike Featherstone in particular being my first supervisor took over the supervision of this thesis at a very difficult time but has made immense contribution to its progress through frequent supervisory interactions, discussions all the way through to its completion. Professor Lash has been a source of encouragement and an unstinting supporter of mine from the beginning and his contribution has been considerable. I am also grateful Dr. Abby Day whose assistance and critical assessment, particularly with the ethnography has been invaluable. Without them this project would not be the work that it is although the many flaws remain mine. I am grateful to Pastor Thomas, Evangelist Kingsley Akpabosah and the congregation of Christ Apostolic Church Stockwell for welcoming me into their church and to the many that agreed to speak to me about their Pentecostal experiences. Finally I thank my wife, Funmi, Mummy T., T.
