4. SEBTS Chapel - John Keating Wiles January 25, 1989

Description:
Dr. John Keating Wiles was Assistant Professor of Old Testament at SEBTS. Dr. Wiles is announced as Chapel speaker (poor quality) (0:00-0:31). A hymn is played (cut) (0:32-2:44). Psalm 51:10-13 is read (2:45-3:15). The choir sings a hymn (3:16-6:47). Another Scripture reading comes from Isaiah 32:9-20 (6:48-8:46). Prayer requests are made (8:47-9:54). A word of prayer is given (9:55-11:50). Dr. Wiles speaks of how Isaiah addresses the women of Israel and tells them to mourn for the upcoming changes of their world (11:51-16:00). He emphases the difference between kings and prophets: kings do not call people to mourn when encountering changes, instead they instruct the people to forget the past, ignore the present, and look on the positive side (16:01-16:35). Kings use the managerial approach in life which focuses on statistics and budgets (16:36-18:24). Dr. Wiles discusses how prophets provide words of realism when they call people to live and die in a world that changes (18:25-21:14). Whereas kings and managers depend on continuity and do not expect real change, prophets realize that every historical world has an end and that God is in control (21:15-23:50). Dr. Wiles explains that kings and managers believe that their worlds will last forever (23:51-25:16). When God’s spirit pours out to end the mourning, fruitfulness will abide in the new world (25:17-26:44). Self-absorbed kings and managers do not know this kind of new world because they live in a fantasy world, not a historical world of change (26:45-27:57). Dr. Wiles concludes with a word on how we must not follow the managerial approach to life; we must allow the pouring out of God’s spirit to give us hope for a new world during our mourning (27:58-29:35). A word of prayer is given (29:36-29:54). Two hymns end the service (29:36-32:59).
