  • SEBTS Page Lecture - Milton Ferguson September 30, 1986

    Description:
    Milton Ferguson was the President of Midwestern Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-4:46). There is a Scripture reading (4:47-5:27). The congregation is led in a moment of prayer (5:28-7:38). Milton Ferguson is introduced as the Page lecturer (7:39-12:25). Ferguson shares about his pet peeve of when speakers overly express their gratitude for being able to speak and he shares about the interactions he has already had with the students and their families (12:26-15:59). Ferguson speaks about the potency of human suffering in this life in various forms (16:00-21:25). He shares about his grandmother who understood that hard work and struggle would bring pain, but when there was purpose the pain made sense (21:26-23:56). Ferguson shares an experience he had with a family who suffered to explain that one must deal with suffering and know how to react to it (23:57-30:02). He explains there is a theoretical or intellectual problem of suffering, which is asking the question “why,” and the existential problem of suffering, which is knowing how to persist through it (30:03-31:36). Ferguson addresses the theoretical problem of suffering in discussing the cohesiveness of the ideas that God is good, the presence of evil in the world, and the will and sovereignty of God (31:37-50:03). The service closes in a moment of prayer (50:04-50:52).
