  • The World, the Flesh, and the Devil Week 2
    “Not Today Satan” The World, The Flesh, and The Devil Downtown April 18, 2021 Last week we did an introductory overview of what have been called the three enemies of the soul. The world, the flesh, and the devil. We looked at Ephesians chapter 2, which mentions all 3 of them. Today...we’re talking about the devil. My guess is that this topic is, for some of you, interesting. For others maybe off-putting. And no doubt for those of you who are new with us this morning you are currently wondering if you’ve made a horrible mistake. ...maybe. The answer to that is maybe. To get our bearings we will look at John chapter 8, which is one of the longest sections of Jesus’ teaching on the devil. John 8:31-47 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Ok, so we are entering into a discussion about truth here They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. They are currently occupied by the Romans, Which is why they wanted the Messiah to pick up a sword.

  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond. THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 An historical biography: 1969-2004 by Omékongo Dibinga Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Barbara Finkelstein, Chair Professor Steve Klees Professor Robert Croninger Professor Derrick Alridge Professor Hoda Mahmoudi © Copyright by Omékongo Dibinga 2015 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank God for making life possible and bringing me to this point in my life.

  • Inside Advantage
    Athens is Brewing with Heartfelt Comfort Creature Comforts Brewing Company is committed to the community and has looked for ways to give back since opening their doors on 271 W. Hancock Avenue. They created the Get Comfortable Campaign and Fund in 2014 “in order to become a unifying anchor in the business community to help drive awareness, increase engagement, and provide support for local nonprofits who address our community’s most pressing needs.” They continue this initiative into 2018, directing support to agencies combating homelessness, hunger, and poverty. Advantage CEO OJ Booker and Board Member David Kidd kickoff off the 2018 "Get Comfortable" campaign, while Advantage employees Laura Alexander and Alissa Darnell (below right) get comfy with baby Katarina. On Thursday, January 11, Advantage staff and board members attended Creature Comfort’s 2018 Get Comfortable Kickoff where we were recognized as one of the 2018 recipients. A portion of the sales of Get Comfortable IPA, clothing, and merchandise will support local nonprofits, as well as support from other Athens businesses. “We want to be that shining light that encourages other people to get money back into the community,” says Chris Herron. “Our mantra is ‘People over Products,’ and that’s not just the people who work for Creature Comforts, but also the people of our community.” Matt Stevens, Director of Community and Culture, coordinates the Get Comfortable Campaign and Fund. He recognized the 6 nonprofits who will be supported this year: Advantage, the Ark, Athens Area Homeless Shelter, Athens Community Council on Aging, Mercy Health Clinic, and Chosen for Life.
