This is what these gates to worship the Lord. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place.” will let you live in this place.” Jeremiah 7:1-3 Jeremiah 7:1-3 New International Version New International Version Message from the President Henri Nouwen writes of this “wordy world” in which we live. “Over the last few decades we have been inundated by a torrent of words,” he says in The Way of the Heart. “Wherever we go we are surrounded by words . Words, words, words! They form the floor, the walls, and the ceiling of our existence.” Indeed, the world around us and our internal world—our thoughts, our desires, our concerns—all cry out, creating a tremendous clamor and clutter of noise that often obscures the whisper of God. At the Pepperdine Bible Lectures this year, we shall endeavor to break through the wordy world and once again “Hear the Word of the Lord,” as He speaks to us through the prophet Jeremiah, as He calls us back to Himself. How gracious is our God! How patient and longsuffering! How like a spring of living water! And how like straying sheep we often are, unconsciously drifting from the Shepherd of our souls. This week in May will be a call to silence, a call to listen again to the God of Jeremiah, a call to return to God’s Word, God’s Will, God’s marvelous ways. The call is to be both listener and speaker: to hear and receive the Word of the Lord, then faithfully speak it through our lives to all who will listen. We must acknowledge our tendencies toward evil and our desire for pleasant prophecy. These days in May will usher in springtime in Malibu, a glorious season in a lovely place. My prayer is that these days will also witness a wonderful “springtime for the soul” for thousands of seekers at the Bible Lectures. We trust that our time together will be a season of repentance and a day of great renewal. Welcome to the campus of Pepperdine University. God has blessed us with a beautiful place in which students may learn and grow, and we gladly share it with you, our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. We invite you to enjoy the nooks and crannies and the broad vistas of Pepperdine, and to seek the quiet places where you may meet with God…and hear the Word of the Lord. Andrew K. Benton President As a Christian University, Pepperdine Affirms THAT GOD IS That God is revealed uniquely in Christ That the educational process may not, with impunity, be divorced from the divine process That the student, as a person of infinite dignity, is the heart of the educational enterprise That the quality of student life is a valid concern of the University That truth, having nothing to fear from investigation, should be pursued relentlessly in every discipline That spiritual commitment, tolerating no excuse for mediocrity, demands the highest standards of academic excellence That freedom, whether spiritual, intellectual, or economic, is indivisible That knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service Message from the Lectures Team Sixty-four years of Pepperdine Bible Lectures—what a remarkable heritage of spiritual service to God’s people! These wonderful conferences began before most of us were born. Think of all the great Christians who have taught or learned of our Lord in those years—many of whom are now with the Savior. And after nearly six and a half decades, Pepperdine University now presents the largest program in its history, with 272 classes and fifteen singing and drama groups. In addition, we are excited to present seven theme lecturers who will lead us on a journey through the challenging prophecy of Jeremiah. These servants of God—Glenn Pemberton, John York, Harold Shank, Yukikazu Obata, Dan Rodriguez, Monte Cox, and David Fleer—are spiritual men with the maturity and ability to expound the Scriptures and inspire us into action. We anticipate welcoming participants from 40 states, along with attendees from more than 20 nations around the world. It is sure to be a historic occasion, and we trust that you will be on hand for this great spiritual feast. Our Bible Lectures theme for 2007 is “Hear the Word of the Lord: Jeremiah’s Call to Renewal.” It will be a powerful and timely message for God’s people who are often tempted and lulled by the mesmerizing melodies of this world, soothed by false prophets as in the day of Jeremiah, and too often satisfied with self-congratulations. Jeremiah calls for the one thing we are reluctant to offer: repentance. We are not anxious to admit that we disappoint God at times, even though we are all guilty of drifting from our first love. How can we be continually Rick Gibson, Tami Williamson, Jerry Rushford, restored? How can we live in God’s land, both now and Kym Dildine, and Erin Newton in ages to come? The 2007 Pepperdine Bible Lectures will be a perfect time to return to the Lord in complete sincerity and begin again to love Him and serve Him with our whole heart. Our Bible Lectures theme for 2007 is Perhaps our campus in Malibu is a metaphor of the “land of milk and honey” of Jeremiah’s day. Perhaps God “Hear the Word of the Lord: Jeremiah’s Call to Renewal.” is calling us, His people, to return to Him and live in the land with gratitude and devotion. Those who worked so hard to provide the Malibu home for Pepperdine It will be a powerful and timely message for believed with all their heart that it was none other than God Himself who ultimately provided this miraculous God’s people who are often tempted and lulled by the place. For what purpose? To serve students, yes; but also and finally to serve the Living God. mesmerizing melodies of this world, soothed by And so we welcome you to God’s place to hear God’s message through the ancient prophecy of Jeremiah.

Pepperdine style is a “down” style, meaning that capitals are to be used sparingly and intentionally. References to the 17th edition (when applicable) are provided within entries where Pepperdine and Chicago coincide. Ideal Pepperdine style is minimalist yet pragmatic, intended to provide clarity, consistent logic, and elegant structure to its communications, using the least amount of punctuation and type to most effectively and quickly deliver an author’s message to the intended audience. Editorial/Aesthetic License Pepperdine style should give writers and designers a broad range of creative freedom in which to work. Deviations from standard practice in University-branded, flagship publications are permitted only by agreement with Integrated Marketing Communications. As a general rule, in all University publications using another company’s word mark and/or logo, we should make sure we have written permission to do so. All factual claims must be verifiable. Grammar and usage must follow standard current practices.

Hun lost 16 members of his family, including his father, who was killed in front of him. Most Cambodians who found refuge in the U.S. and other countries have little desire to return to Cambodia. Hun converted to Christianity from Buddhism in 1981. After years of Christian service in the U.S., he returned to Cambodia in 2009 to serve as a full- time missionary. Hun’s life underscores the power of God’s forgiveness. Wednesday, 9–10 pm The Present and Future of Spiritual Leadership ased on the findings of a large-scale research project undertaken by Pepperdine and the BBarna Group, David Kinnaman will reveal the state of spiritual leadership in America today—and consider the future for current faith leaders and those will answer the calling to a pastoral vocation. What are their greatest challenges in ministry, for family life and when it comes to their own emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth? How effective are their churches for catalyzing transformation in lives and communities? And how are faith leaders perceived and misperceived by the wider culture? David Kinnaman is the president and majority owner of the Barna Group, a visionary research and resource company located in Ventura, California. He is the author of two best selling books, unChristian and You Lost Me, which focus on the spiritual lives of teens and 20-somethings.
