- Description:
- Richard Gene Puckett was the editor of the Biblical Recorder. Puckett is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played (0:13-4:51). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (4:52-6:05). Puckett is introduced (6:06-8:02). Puckett thanks Southeastern’s students and faculty (8:03-9:03). His lecture, “State Baptist Papers: Reflectors of the Crises,” focuses on how printed papers are better records of current events (9:04-10:00). He summarizes his lecture from the day before: he explains that the lecture dealt with the history of U.S. Baptist missions with a specific focus on the Judsons and Luther Rice and the creation of the Triennial Convention, the Southern Baptist Convention, and state conventions (10:01-10:20). Puckett expresses that documents exist that inform us of what truly happened during the birth of Baptist missions and that Baptist papers mirror these events (10:21-11:39). He chooses ten crises to prove this point, with the first crisis being the mission vs. anti-mission movements of the nineteenth century (11:40-11:59). These movements resulted due to the conflict between general atonement (Arminian theology) and particular atonement (Calvinistic theology) (12:00-12:55). Puckett reveals that Baptist papers reflected this conflict in Maryland (12:56-15:49). The second crisis involved the founding of the Southern Baptist Convention by the Virginia Mission Society which became a large highlight in Baptist papers (15:50-16:24). The third crisis is the Campbellite and Landmark movements, with the former movement involving Alexander Campbell and his view on baptism (16:25-17:15). Biblical Recorder editor Thomas Meredith recorded the errors of this movement (17:16-18:58). Puckett then explains that the Landmark movement viewed its church as the only valid church in accordance with New Testament truth and made an appearances in the Tennessee Baptist Paper and the Kentucky Western Baptist Review (18:59-20:48). The fourth crisis, with which the Kentucky Western Recorder highly involved, was the Witsitt controversy over whether Baptists could be traced back to Jesus’ time (20:49-23:45). Fundamentalism vs. Modernism was the fifth crisis that became popular in Baptist publications, specifically the Oklahoma Baptist Messenger (23:46-27:33). Puckett’s sixth crisis is the Baptist westward movement: some believed that these Baptists were not true Baptists with Reuben Ally, editor of the Virginia Religious Herald, being a strong voice of the conflict (27:34-29:11). Crisis seven is the Southern Baptist Seminary conflict that occurred due to a disagreement between the president and faculty and appeared in multiple papers such as the Kentucky Western Recorder and the Christian Index (29:12-33:16). The Elliot controversy at Mid-Western Seminary also found its way in Baptist papers, with E.S. James, editor of the Texas Baptist Standard leading the way (33:17-36:02). Puckett’s ninth crisis is the struggle of power, especially within the Southern Baptist Convention concerning the presidential position, and he conveys that this crisis caused many papers to suffer as they attempted to record the facts (36:03-38:23). The final crisis is one that occurred at Southeastern and was accurately and completely recorded by the Biblical Recorder (38:24-40:14). Puckett speaks on the problems of editing and recording, focusing on how writers never have complete freedom of words and on how they must strive to record truthfully, yet fairly (40:15-50:54). He then closes with saying that the Baptist mission of the world depends on education and information (52:59-53:59). Puckett is thanked and the congregation is informed that he will be in the Ledford Center for further discussions (52:59-53:59). A word of prayer ends the event (54:00-54:23).

President Lewis Drummond greets and expresses gratitude towards the graduates and faculty (34:18-37:20). The choir sings a song of worship (37:21-40:40). Micah 6:1-8 and Philippians 2:5-11 are the Scripture readings for the day (40:41-44:22). Two gifts are presented: a scholarship fund to seniors and the Wake County Chapter for Habitat for Humanity (44:23-45:03). President Drummond accepts the gifts (45:04-45:23). Hawn instructs the graduates “to do justice, love tenderly, and walk humbly with God” as a “basis for a covenant ministry” (45:24-52:45). Using the reading from the book of Micah, Hawn discusses that doing justice, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with God must be seen as one; they cannot be separate (52:46-1:00:42). Hawn then speaks on the hope found in Jesus, which the graduates must give to the world (1:00:43-1:01:47). He ends with mentioning how the Quakers perform all three (doing justice, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with God) and sings a Quaker hymn (1:01:48-1:05:16). A hymn is played (cut) (1:05:17-1:05:21). President Drummond explains how the ceremony will commence (1:5:22-1:06:06).

A hymn is played (0:17-2:31). It is announced as the second missionary address day of the semester, and a word of prayer is given (2:32-5:09). Another hymn is played (cut) (5:10-5:13). Scripture reading for the day comes from Acts 16:8-10 (5:14-5:52). The Watsons are introduced (7:31-11:35). The choir sings an anthem (11:36-17:28). Hazel Watson speaks of the missionary opportunities, especially for women, as well as commitment and prayer (17:29-27:08). She ends with a word on how discipleship, discipline, and obedience bring us closer to God and how women are needed over seas (27:09-27:55). Les Watson begins with rereading some of the Scripture reading from Acts 16, focusing on how God can change our plans to fit His plans (27:56-29:30). He strongly emphasizes the answering of God’s call to missions and highlights the many priority requests of the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board for 1989 (34:12-35:22).

- Description:
- Edwin Luther Copeland was Visiting Professor of Missions. A call to remember certain members is made (0:00-1:18). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (1:19-3:25). Dr. Copeland is introduced (3:26-8:43). An anthem is sung (8:44-11:28). The Scripture reading is from Luke 10 (11:29-13:18). Dr. Copeland begins his sermon with recounting the sending out of the seventy to spread the Gospel to the Gentile world and how they received the power to liberate evil (13:19-16:58). However, Jesus informs us not to rejoice over having the power over demonic sources (16:59-17:27). Dr. Copeland explains that rejoicing over these victories can lead to pride, conceit, and arrogance, which can ultimately lead to the manipulation of people (17:28-17:50). He further states that succumbing to such arrogance of power means joining the enemy (17:51-19:15). He mentions that because we are not always victorious over evil, we should not make victories a source of rejoicing (19:16-20:15). Though Jesus said nothing can hurt us, we can still experience the power of the enemy and defeat (20:16-22:06). Dr. Copeland quotes Charles W. Ransom, regarding not allowing others to dissuade you from the call of ministry (22:07-25:31). He expresses that we should rejoice that we are saved and that we are spreading the Word (25:32-26:19). The Word is our drink, food, air, and life and it should bring us joy (26:20-27:01). A word of prayer closes the service (27:02-27:25).

- Chevis F. Horne was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Dr. Horne is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:41). The choir sings an anthem (2:42-3:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (3:33-5:35). The Scripture reading is Matthew 25:31-46 (5:36-8:18). The choir sings a song of worship (8:19-11:06). Dr. Horne focuses on the Scripture reading in his message, titled “Surprised by Judgment,” with an emphasis on Jesus as a servant and as a King (11:07-14:15). He finds it surprising how Jesus identified Himself as a servant on earth despite His place on the right hand of God, a place of honor and power (14:16-15:16). He is further surprised at how many poor people there are in the world whose presence he cannot escape now or at the time of Judgment (15:17-18:17). Dr. Horne talks of his surprise of the social questions that will be asked on the day of Judgment (18:18-20:30). He then discusses that believers are truly saved by grace and display graciousness in their lives (20:31-21:43). He also is surprised by Jesus identifying Himself with the poor: their pain is His pain (21:44-26:24). Dr. Horne hopes that those who are going to be pastors would “love, care for, minister for, and identify with their people” (26:25-27:05). He closes with a word of prayer (27:08-27:47). A hymn ends the service (27:48-30:10).
