    SEBTS Chapel - Paul Kercher April 26, 1962
    Description:
    The service was organized by the Student Coordinating Council, and it begins with an announcement and a prayer (00:00-02:46), followed by singing (02:47-07:18). No introduction was given for the speaker, Paul Kercher, but he was a student at SEBTS. He speaks on “who is a Christian” and “what is a Christian,” speaking first about the different ways in which the word was commonly used in that day (07:19-09:59). He argues that a Christian must be spoken of in terms of the individual person, especially regarding one’s own three distinct (while not separate) parts: intellect, emotions, and will (10:00-13:52). He then says that a Christian is someone who experiences something, arguing that belief without experience is not enough (13:53-19:45). Finally, he says that a Christian is someone who practices his beliefs in his conduct, attributing the conversation to Christian ethics (19:46-23:56). He ends with two succinct definitions of a Christian (23:57-24:50) before ending in prayer (24:51-25:42).
