William Randall Lolley was the 3rd president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with an introduction from President Lolley about how he chose the topic of his presentations (0:00-2:50). He reads from Matthew 11 (2:51-3:41). There is a moment of prayer (3:42-5:07). The congregation joins in singing “Blessed Assurance” (5:08-7:19). Lolley speaks about why good and bad things happen in this world without rhyme or reason (7:20-11:51). Lolley speaks of biblical times when bad things happened to “good” people, such as John the Baptist’s question of doubt and God’s will of suffering (11:52-23:40). Lolley has a moment of prayer and gives a charge to the students to commit themselves to Christ (23:41-27:39).
