- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 122:1 and Psalm 43:3a (00:00-00:33) and prayer (00:34-02:03). There was no introduction for Olin Trivette Binkley, but he was Academic Dean and Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics at SEBTS. He begins by focusing on the integrity of servants of God in a theological school amidst the pressures and problems in a very complex and dynamic society (02:04-03:55). He draws attention to three basic convictions: first, the Living God knows us as we are and loves us (03:56-04:20); second, God, who offers salvation, demands something of us that is consonant with His nature (04:21-04:37); third, God has revealed Himself to us as the God of mercy and truth (04:38-05:16). He then speaks about the two factors of interpersonal relationships in seminary: first, honesty in straightforward speech (05:17-07:22); second, the integrity of mind and conscience involves affectionate loyalty to whole persons and to the whole fellowship of the school, having compassion, humility, and courage (07:23-17:04). He ends with prayer (17:05-17:37).

- Description:
- The service begins with an opening word and prayer (00:00-04:11). There is no introduction for the speaker, Robert Cook Briggs, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. He begins by reading Romans 12:1-2 (04:12-05:36). He bypasses “what one ought to do” and focuses on “how one is to interpret the meaning of student days” (05:37-07:00). He summarizes the sermon in three points: first, years spent in seminary are best seen as years of opportunity (07:01-14:44); second, this opportunity is related to both what one has been before seminary and also what one will be after seminary (14:45-18:06); and third, essentially, this opportunity must ultimately be seen as a gift from God (18:07-19:58). He ends in prayer (19:59-20:50).
