William Culbertson 1905-1971,
President,Moody Bible
Born in Philadelphia and educated there at the Theological Seminary
of the Reformed Episcopal Church and Temple Univer- sity, he
pastored Reformed Episcopal churches in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. At age 31, his denomination elected him bishop of the
New York and Philadelphia Synod. For 23 years (1948-1971), Dr.
Culbertson served God as president of Moody Bible Institute.
Under his leadership, the Moody Bible Insti- tute grew steadily,
increasing its day school enrollment to over 1,000 students.
Five major buildings were added to the Chicago campus. Dr. Culbertson's
ministry extended beyond Chicago as he spoke at Bible conferences
around the world and also served as president of the Accrediting
Association of Bible Colleges. In 1971, he was appointed the
school's first chancellor. Above all, he lived in God's Word,
and therefore always had a word from God. As they trained at
Moody, thou- sands of young people for a quarter of a century
looked to William Culbertson as their spiritual father because
of his godly example.
His last words, "God...God...yes!"
concluded a life characterized by affirmative responses to God's
commands.
1. God The Father - 1964
It's in a very special way that
the Father bestows blessings upon us of every spiritual kind.
God is good and we must grant Him our devotion. It's then that
we will receive His blessing. He provides for us in ways that
we could never provide for ourselves. We should cry "Abba
father!" He is our helper and Father.

(1970)

Preached at Winnona Lake, Indiana

4. William Culbertson
- Unity
Aron's benediction in Numbers six
places great emphasis on the unity of God. It also, however,
shows plurality. This plurality, which is very important in understanding
God, is seen throughout the Bible by the use of phrases, words
and grammar. Dr. Culbertson looks closely at Numbers six and
other scriptures to examine the Trinity.

- Splendor of God - 1969
6. William Culbertson - God's Government - 1969
7. The Ministry Of Christ and The Holy Spirit - 1964
Part of God's blessing upon us is
the ministry of Jesus Christ and the work He did on behalf of
our sin. The same God that said "let there be light"
gave us light, the light which is Christ. Dr. Culbertson looks
at the connection between God's grace shinning on us and the
ministry of Christ and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
8. The Weapons Of Our
Warfare - 1968
9. Some Distinctive Elements In The Christian Evangel -1971
10. True Worship and Geninue Praise
Psalm 8 has a theme declaring
the glory and magnificence of the Lord. Later in the chapter
we see that God is mindful of us, that is, he sent Jesus to us.
We must praise God because He has and will meet our needs. All
that we should need is Jehovah God, our Lord.
