- Description:
- E. Glenn Hinson was a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-2:24). There is a word of prayer (2:25-4:22). E. Glenn Hinson is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:23-6:58). An anthem is sung by the choir (6:59-9:20). Hinson directs the attention of the congregation to II Corinthians 12:1-10 and reads his personal translation (9:21-12:08). Hinson recounts how he turns to hope found within Scripture to cope with difficult times and circumstances (12:09-14:28). He explains that sometimes people blame God for the trying times and circumstances one faces (14:29-16:00). Hinson speaks about how people flippantly attribute bad things to God’s will, and he believes that idea comes from John Calvin’s view that everything has been predestined by God (16:01-17:24). But he gives the idea that Paul does not think that way in this passage, rather attributing the bad things of life to the work of the devil (17:25- 20:30). Hinson explains how science and technology, human toil has been eased, which causes people to seek external solutions for every problem, which is a deception and dulls the effects of sin (20:31-26:37). He shares how he personally found God’s grace and love in his own trials to illustrate that people should seek that amid human weakness (26:38-32:24). He closes the service in a word of prayer (32:25-33:44).
