Acceptable service to God has always demanded the heart of the man as well as his hand. Christians live in Christ, and Christ lives in them. This year’s lectureship deals with significant aspects of man’s heart-felt worship directed toward God and of God’s presence which affords help for His people. Understandably, Florida College Lectures have frequently dealt with topics that are academic by nature. This year’s series is biblically based, as always, but focuses on the spirit and emotion that exist between the Christian and his Lord. I think you will find that our speakers have done an exceptional job in focusing on what God says about these issues and on what God wants from us both in action and in feeling. Several of the topics in this year’s lectures are controversial. Respected brethren have differed over some of these matters for generations. From the manuscripts submitted, I have been particularly impressed with the manner in which these disputed areas are presented. As they should be, personal convictions are expressed and defended, but, also as it should be, in a spirit of kindness and understanding.
