- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 40:2-3 (00:00-00:47). A general word of welcome (00:48-02:41) precedes an opening prayer (02:42-05:19). An introduction is given for the speaker, Richard Knox Young, who was Associate Professor of Pastoral Care at SEBTS (05:20-07:28). The entire message is the delivery of a piece of scholarship finalized in 1961 which focuses on the following details related to pastoral care: Richard Neibuhr’s contributions to the topic (07:29-13:21), the sociological effects of ministry on the pastor (13:22-15:25), and illnesses among ministers compared with that of the general population (15:26-25:19), along with limitations to the research (25:20-27:00). From his personal experience in counseling ministers, Dr. Young offers some frustrating factors in ministry, including the impossibility of the task (27:01-29:44), the emotional drain and constant giving to others (29:45-33:54), the limitations of his co-workers (33:55-34:51), the murmerings of his own unconscious (34:52-37:19), the necessity of working out a philosophy of life (37:20-38:42), his interprofessional relationships (38:43-40:08), success (40:09-41:34), and the minister’s home life (41:35-43:29). In closing, he mentions some exhortations for continuing ministry, including a personal, private devotional life (43:30-46:52), recreation (46:53-48:03), a sense of community (48:04-49:16), belief in your role and what you are doing (49:17-54:15), and having one’s home as a place of refuge (54:16-55:31). He ends by sharing the importance of choosing family before work (55:32-58:27).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 19:7-9 (00:00-00:41) and prayer (00:52-02:04). A brief introduction is given for Jim Allen, the pastor of the speaker, Robert Morgan (02:05-02:31). Jim Allen introduces Robert Morgan according to his Christian testimony, education, and working background. He served 5 consecutive terms as senator of Harnett County in North Carolina, and he was the Attorney General of the State of North Carolina. The title of his address is “The Christian and Politics” (02:32-04:29). He does not believe that the church should involve itself in protestant politics nor divide its congregation by taking dogmatic positions on political issues; however, he does believe the church should seek to find Christian answers for the problems that confront us in daily life and also in government circles. There is no prohibition between a mixture of politics and religion in the Constitution, and Christians cannot keep the two separated (04:30-16:02). To do this, we must show charitable compassion, a Christian voice in politics, and encouragement for governmental leadership (16:03-28:56). He ends his time in prayer (28:57-29:14), and the service ends with low instrumental music (29:15-29:23).

- Description:
- The service opens with the reading of Habakkuk 2:20 (00:00-00:13), followed by a period of silence and instrumental music (00:14-01:31) and the mention of a time of worship from hymn #312 (01:32-01:35). An opening prayer is given (01:36-02:03), and the speaker, Frank Wood, is introduced. He was at that time a Middler student at SEBTS, having graduated from Wake Forest College in 1964 with honors in psychology and having been serving at the time of this recording as pastor of Centerville Baptist Church located in the Tar River Association near Louisburg, North Carolina; he also was serving as editor of the student newspaper, “The Inquiry” (02:04-03:16). The chapel anthem is sung (03:30-05:18). Frank Wood begins with a brief prayer (06:09-06:23) and reads the sermon text, 1 John 1:1-4 aloud before preaching through it (06:24-07:26). Wood points out that John is speaking of some cosmic truth which he has experienced with his senses and which is the basis of fellowship between humans and between God and man (7:27-12:42). Understanding the text in reverse, Wood proceeds to mention how we are without joy when we do not have or know Christ, who was from the beginning; also, we are without true fellowship with each other and with God when we do not have fellowship with Christ (12:43-17:15). He sums the text up by saying that the divine intrusion and the gospel itself is not found in words, but in the person of Christ (17:16-26:31). He closes the message with prayer (26:32-27:43).
