  • SEBTS Chapel - L. Keith Harper February 19, 1997

    Description:
    Dr. L. Keith Harper was Assistant Professor of Church History. Dr. Harper is introduced (0:00-2:19). The choir sings a song of worship (cut) (2:20-2:25). Dr. Harper thanks the musicians and instructs the congregation to turn to 1 Kings 22 (2:26-2:51). Before delving into Scripture, Dr. Harper briefly mentions Dr. Stephen Andrews and his archaeological work (2:52-3:56). He asks the question: what do you do when you want to do right, but everyone else wants you to make the decision that is morally wrong? (3:57-4:50). He then reads from 1 Kings 22, focusing on the prophet Micaiah and how he faced adversity (4:51-7:49). There will be times where it feels like you are against everyone else (7:50-9:00). Dr. Harper provides three ways how Micaiah dealt with adversity, with the first one involving Micaiah knowing his identity (9:01-17:58). Second, Micaiah knew what to expect (17:59-19:44). He knew that he faced a demand for conformity, false religion, and intense hatred (19:45-22:35). Dr. Harper discusses that as believers we must make a stand for Christ by not conforming, not following false religion, and acting more Christ-like in the face of hatred (22:36-28:06). Third, Micaiah knew how to cope with adversity by enduring the consequences (28:07-30:39). Dr. Harper concludes with expressing that God’s path is not the one with the least resistance and that a generation that will not conform to this world is needed (30:40-32:57).
