SEBTS Convocation - Samuel Howard Miller September 8, 1960 AM

Description
  • The first and fourth stanzas of the hymn “Come, Thou Almighty King” is prayed over the congregation at the tenth convocation of the seminary’s existence (00:00-00:42). President Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey introduces Dr. Miller concerning his educational, ministerial, and working background; he was the Dean of Harvard Divinity School (00:43-05:29). Dr. Miller’s sermon title is “Souls Threshed from their Husks,” a phrase taken from William Blake’s work. He believes the prime urgency of the ministry of the twentieth century is to be a well-founded, unconfused person, since many are confused as to what this means. Such a man, through theological integration, has been stripped of the world’s illusions and understands true personhood in Christ (05:30-22:16). We must live “at the growing edge redemptively” – the edge where God’s revelations come to life in difficult moments when sometimes words fail to pass from our lips (22:17-37:52). The crises of our lives force us to answer for ourselves what we think, feel, or believe alone before God, and these moments are what God uses to thresh our souls from their husks over our lifetimes (37:53-41:44).
