In Branson, Mo. Bringing Christian Seniors FAith for a new place & time: Studies in Joshua Dear friends, It is an honor to welcome you to Harding University’s 89th Annual Bible Lectureship! We are so pleased that you have come to our campus for these four special days of Bible study, fellowship and worship. Your presence here with us helps to make an already wonderful occasion even better. The theme of this year’s Lectureship is Faith for a New Place & Time: Studies in Joshua. Everyone I know feels that the pace of life is getting faster and faster with each passing year. The constant changes that sur- round us can be both disorienting and exhausting. I find it most reassuring to know that in the middle of all of life’s confusion, God is our rock, and, His word continues to guide us through whatever new challenges we face! If this is your first time back on the Harding campus in several years, David B. Burks you undoubtedly have noticed that many things have changed around President here. At our May commencement, we graduated our first class of phar- macy students, and less than two months ago, we finished building a new concept in student housing, Legacy Park, on the west side of cam- pus. Alumni always are amazed by how quickly the school they remem- ber takes on a very different appearance. However, our friends and alumni alike can be comforted and assured by the fact that the heart and soul of Harding University remains the same. A document known as “The Mission of Harding University” was reaffirmed by our board of Trustees in May 2011. I want to share the second paragraph from that statement with our Lectureship guests: We are committed to retaining the Christian identity of Harding Univer- sity. Realizing that there is a powerful, almost overwhelming tendency for Christian institutions to drift toward secularism, we recommit ourselves at this time to the distinctive practices that have always been central to Harding’s Christian mission: required Bible classes, daily chapel, and a lofty code of behavior for the board, administration, faculty and students. Again, I want to welcome you to our 89th Annual Bible Lectureship! And I pray that when you return home your heart and spirit will be refreshed, and you will take the warm greetings of Harding University back to your home congregation. Yours in Christ, Dr. David B. Burks President 2 FAith for a new Dear guests, place & time: Studies in Joshua I want to join Dr. Burks in welcoming you to Lectureship! Since our very first semester as a senior college back in 1924, the fall Bible Lectureship has been an important part of the mission and identity of Harding. Each year it gives us a special opportunity to welcome to our campus Chris- tians from across the country and around the world. The things that are said and experienced during these four days help to serve the needs of congregations everywhere and to express the spiritual identity of Har- ding University. Our theme this year, Faith for a New Place & Time: Studies in Joshua, is both timely and timeless. In 1970, futurist Alvin Toffler introduced us to the concept of “future shock.” He stated that future shock was the perception that we were facing “too much change in too short a period of time.” He described how many people today have the same anxiety as someone who has moved to another country and who feels over- whelmed by the differences in the culture. Toffler suggested that we can feel culture shock without ever leaving our home and homeland, be- Bruce McLarty cause we all are facing “too much change in too short a period of time.” Lectureship Director The Old Testament book of Joshua is a biblical antidote to future shock. It is about a time when the Children of Israel were, literally, confronted with a new place and time. They easily could have felt that they were experiencing “too much change in too short a period of time.” However, their walk with God provides a model for how we can face our own new place and time. The call to be strong and courageous and boldly follow God is a timeless challenge that the people of God certainly need to hear again. As we get started with our 89th Annual Bible Lectureship, I want to draw your attention to a very important change in our schedule. The Women’s Day program, traditionally held on Tuesday, has been moved to Monday this year. Please make a special note of this change as you plan which classes to attend this week. A year’s worth of planning, organizing and praying have gone into the preparation for these four days. Our hope is that you will receive the spiritual blessing you came here seeking and that you will take with you ideas and teachings that will help to strengthen your congregation back home. May God open our hearts this week to hear the timeless message of the book of Joshua, and may He give us a renewed sense of faith and confidence as we enter our own New Place & Time. Yours in Christ, Dr. Bruce McLarty Lectureship Director 3 FAith for a new place & time: Studies in Joshua Table of Contents Child care 5-17 Free child care is pro- vided at College Church Daily Schedule of Christ on Race Avenue beginning Sunday eve- Classes are arranged by date, time and sequence. ning and ending Wednes- day evening.

For over 30 years, a substantial number of ordinary American citizens have participated in the stock market through tax-deferred contributions to their personal or employer’s retirement plan.
