I N T R O D U C T I O N The global spread of the Coronavirus has certainly shaken all of us. It is natural to feel anxious during this uncertain time, and it is definitely wise to take practical precautions in order to minimize the risk of infection to ourselves, our loved ones, and the general population. However, let us not resort to panic and rash decision making. Let us not allow worry and anxiety to cause us to live timidly and in fear of our lives. Fear wants us to believe the worst possible outcome; it takes delight in our obsession over every news update, social media information, and fake news snippet. Instead, let us keep our eyes on God and dwell in the peace that He offers us through His son Jesus Christ. Let us lean on God as our source of strength and take refuge in the High Tower of His might and power. Most of all, let us be reminded that God loves us and works all things out for our good. We hope that you enjoy this spiritual kit that we have put together for you, and that it aids you in your faith walk during this period. W H A T I S I N O U R S P I R I T U A L K I T ?

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

From coast to coast, as a team of reporters for Home Missions and Baptist Press question- ed participants in the spiritual phenomenon, the youth unhesiatingly credited every good action to the Holy Spirit. The manifestations of their belief varied from the jabber of speaking in tongues and raised hands ans swaying bodies, to a quiet movement through the dry plains of nearly dead churches. Some youthful Christians who are "turned on to jesus" reject, however, the emphasis in speaking in tongues among other youth groups, Ironically, right here might come the theological battles of the movement, both over tongues, or "the baptism of the Spirit" as it is usually called, and over free expression of one's faith. Because of differing views on "~!cesolalia" (another name for speaking in tongued, some youth groups denied they were a part of the "Jesus movement, " as the media have labeled this national spiritual phenomenon.

Some will give God thanks for their spiritual bless- ings like salvation, healing, forgiveness, fellowship, the church and many other kindnesses that the Lord has bestowed on them. When I pastored, at Thanksgiving we would have services where we would attempt to not ask the Lord for anything and we would take the service to simply give thanks to the Him. It was hard having a service and not asking God for anything, but those services of Thanksgiving were truly a blessing. Of all the blessings that were mentioned during those services, I never heard mentioned the blessing that David mentioned here in Psalm 139. “Thou has beset me behind and before,” What David was thankful for was that he realized that he was surrounded by God! *Protection from Inward Temptations He knew the Lord went before him and walked behind III.
