His delivery had us in praise and very much in worshipped. He concluded with a spiritual that expressed his sermon. The song was called “He’s An on Time God” which states “He may not come when you want him, but he’ll be there right on time, He’s an on time god, yes he is” which added more spirit and praise since it was the topic of discussion. In summary, this sermon was one that added spark to the room and to those of the audience. He presented his topic, gave examples to support his topic, and delivered it in a positive and inspirational way.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY ESSAY TITLE: St.Pauls Episcopal Church SUBMITTED BY: Cameron Thorpe DATE: September 21, 2013 HUMANITIES 210-90 Mr. Frank T. Elliott, Instructor St.Pauls Episcopal Church For this cultural enlightenment assignment I choose to do my assignment on the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church located downtown Norfolk, Virginia. The reason for choosing this location was because of its rich history. The church was built in 1739; it is the sole colonial-era building, which survived the various wars that Norfolk has witnessed.

Such as the Revolutionary War, and also the Civil war .The church has played host to several different denominations throughout its history.
REFLECTION PAPER on THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCH/CHRISTIANS A PAPER PRESENTED TO DR. B. Hodges INFULFILLMENT OF THE COURSE BI 602 NEW TESTAMENT BEULAH HEIGHTS UNIVERSITY ATLANTA, GEORGIA SPRING SEMESTER 2013 JAMES E. HARRIS 8510 The synoptic Gospels were and are still relevant to the first century church, as well as the church of today. They were important then because they are narratives about the life death and resurrection of Jesus. The three Gospels that “take a common view” of Christ’s life are Matthew, Mark and Luke. Each writer affords us a special look into the life and teachings of Christ in a different way. One may provide one detail, and another may provide a detail that adds to the account so that the Bible student is able to receive additional insights.
This explosive growth has forced the Christian world to pay increasing attention to the entire movement and to attempt to discover the root causes of this growth. Although the Pentecostal movement had its beginnings in the United States, it owed much of its basic theology to earlier British perfectionistic and charismatic movements. At least three of these, the Methodist/Holiness movement, the Catholic Apostolic movement of Edward Irving, and the British Keswick "Higher Life" movement prepared the way for what appeared to be a spontaneous outpouring of the Holy Spirit in America. Perhaps the most important immediate precursor to Pentecostalism was the Holiness movement which issued from the heart of Methodism at the end of the Nineteenth Century. From John Wesley, the Pentecostals inherited the idea of a subsequent crisis experience variously called "entire sanctification,""

However it was good to know the history about integration and how many people expressed their views. Which lead me to this question: what contributions did the historians contribute to integration and if any what were they? Entwistle dissected the different denomination and how each denominations view integration and provided the ethical guidelines for incorporating religion in counseling. Which lead me to these questions: What are some ways Christians incorporated science and theology? What are some examples of integration in churches?
“The patriotic feeling of loyalty to one's national ties can take different forms depending upon the economic and cultural context” (ETHNO-NATIONALIST TERRORISM, 2012). An excellent example of nationalist terrorism is the American Revolution wherein the revolutionists fought against repressive British rule to gain an independent state. National terrorists engage in a unique sort of ‘war of attrition” with the state, aimed at breaking the will of the State. Religious nationalism extends the notion of nationalism to ‘religion’. It suffuses the nationalist rhetoric with religious imagery, and most likely may be framed and formulated in religious or religiously tinged language.
