Chapel Service: Jeff Burdick (TWU Professor) - February 3 / Dr. Hesslegrave

Audio 13a consists of the following recording:
Title: Jeff Burdick – Building Your Temple
The recording begins with a worship leader introducing a new song, “Praise Him, Praise Him,” during a TWU chapel service. He sings and plays the piano, and proceeds to lead those gathered in song and prayer for the next 10 minutes. After the worship session, Jeff Burdick, a business professor, is invited to speak. He begins with two goals: to encourage students to live a Christ-like life and to have a willingness to participate in the community of the saints. Burdick advocates for personal Temple-building, to care for one’s life and one’s spiritual well-being as if it were a temple. If the temple is in shambles, repair it, make a commitment to improve your spiritual well-being and ask someone to hold you accountable. He also encourages his audience to seek out those whose temples are in need of repair and offer assistance. Finally, he relates a compelling story about two women and a dozen wilting roses to illustrate his point. To close chapel, Burdick leads the group in prayer.
Audio 13b consists of the following recording:
Title: Dr. Hesslegrave – Maintaining the Lordship of Christ in a Secular Age
Dr. Hesslegrave speaks at a TWU chapel in late 1986 or possible early 1987 on John 14. He spends the majority of the tape exploring the various questions and statements made by the apostles and how these questions relate to the world today. He argues against the ideas posed in the books “Everyone is Right” 1986 by Roland Peterson, that every worldview is valid, and “No other name?” 1985 by Paul Knitter, that every religious tradition contains a Christ-figure. Dr. Hesslegrave believes that one cannot introduce God to a godless generation by changing the definition, fragmenting, refashioning God into an idea or the God of "my experience" instead of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. One does not communicate Christ by altering his Lord-hood. He relates a compelling story about a Chaplain, three North Korean spies, and the book of John. Finally, he leads the group in the song “He is Lord, He is Lord”, and closes with prayer.
