    SEBTS Chapel - G. Thomas Halbrooks March 3, 1987
    Description:
    G. Thomas Halbrooks was Professor of Church History at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with a call to worship from I John (0:00-0:56). There is a moment of prayer (0:57-1:26). There are Scripture readings from Isaiah 58 (1:27-4:27). Prayer concerns are shared and there is a moment of prayer (4:28-7:17). Halbrooks speaks of the celebration of Mardi Gras (7:18-11:27). Halbrooks shares the idea that Baptists should participate in Lent as it was originally for baptism (11:28-17:15). Halbrooks speaks about the religious leaders’ desire to look holier than the common people and how the practice of Mardi Gras undermines the practice of Lent (17:16-18:26). He speaks about how it is easy for Christians today to practice Christianity only in external observances (18:27-22:04). There is a moment of prayer (22:05-24:33).
