Title: Ken Davis – “Graduation: Address”
Dr. Anderson introduces Dr. Ken Davis, commencement speaker, who delivers a sermon on differentiating between truth and "cheap goods" to a graduating class. He references Luke 14 and illustrates his points with colorful examples such as grocery store coupons and Swedish suicide rates. He discusses the importance of acknowledging the “monster out there” and Christ as protector and saviour. He references Jacques Ellul and supports Ellul’s claim that society must choose between people and things. Davis argues that man can only be chosen indirectly through choosing God. Davis argues against humanism and for the sovereignty of God in everyday life. Dr. Anderson thanks Davis for speaking and introduces Wayne Reese, who leads the group in song. Anderson introduces Rev. Gretzler who leads the group in prayer.
