Description

• Robert Edward Seymour was pastor of Binkley Memorial Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, NC. The service begins with organ music (00:00-05:01). The speaker gives a word of prayer (05:02-06:05). Robert Edward Seymour is introduced as the chapel speaker (06:06-08:07). The choir sings a song of worship (08:08-12:00). Seymour reads from Matthew 5:9, and he tells the story of a man who advocated against the Vietnam War even though a person told him war was inevitable (12:01-14:30). Seymour spends most of his sermon speaking on nuclear weapon armament and war and how it goes against what the Scripture says about peace (14:31-27:15). Seymour concludes his sermon by urging the audience to not give up on peace but to stand up and urge the government to reverse the nuclear arms race (27:16-31:22). The service ends with a benediction (31:23-31:52).
