Description:: This service was organized by the Student Coordinating Council, and the service begins with prayer (00:00-03:16). There was no introduction for the speaker, Jim Baucom, but he was a student at SEBTS. He begins by exposing the secularization of religion in America, becoming only a set of rules leading to moralism, devoid of the gospel; religion retreats into the walls of the church house and becomes institutionalized and couched in a secret vocabulary (03:17-08:51). He then illustrates total acceptance and total rejection (08:52-10:47) before applying it to the lives of Christians, stressing the need to merge religion with daily life (10:48-15:11). He ends his time in prayer (15:12-15:41).
