GOD’S UNCHANGING FAITHFULNESS THE STEADFAST LOVE OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER 68TH ANNUAL BIBLE LECTURES May 3 - 6, 2011 Malibu, California Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. FOR THE LORD IS GOOD AND HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER; HIS FAITHFULNESS CONTINUES THROUGH ALL GENERATIONS. Psalm 100 The New International Version Message from the President Many believe we are at a turning point in America. But whether that be true or not, we are always at a crossroads, constantly challenged by our God. It’s important to reexamine our relationship with the Creator, and this year’s Bible Lectures provide a tremendous opportunity to do just that. Two thoughts leap to mind as we approach this year’s theme, “God’s Unchanging Faithfulness.” First, we must open our eyes to the unsurpassed majesty of the God of the Universe. The Book of Psalms, our text for this week, leaves no doubt that God reigns supreme… He is high and lifted up, far beyond all other beings and powers. No one or no thing is remotely like Him. Not only is He all powerful and all loving, but also His very Name is majestic in all the earth. The 2011 Pepperdine Bible Lectures will challenge us to come before our magnificent God and endeavor to behold His beauty, His excellence and His enduring faithfulness! A second thought follows immediately as we pause to consider the source of all goodness and life. God’s steadfast love and creative power call for our sincerest and most profound praise. It is true that we often fail to adequately acknowledge, on a daily basis, the God in whom we live and move and have our being. But even when we do remember Him, our feeble efforts at praise seem to fall far short of what He deserves, and we may become discouraged. However, we will be called to reflect more deeply, to sing a new song, and to find fresh ways to lift high the Name that is above all names. It is likely to be a challenge that has eternal consequences. We hope you will feel at home at Pepperdine, and we trust you will enjoy the wonder of God’s earth that He so beautifully displays on the mountains above the sea in Malibu. He has given us this lovely campus to use to His glory. And we encourage you to come before our reigning Lord—in joyful assembly with many of His children— to seek a new depth of understanding of Him and a more profound expression of praise to the One who made us, who loves us and who wants us to know Him intimately. Much human effort has gone into preparing for this spiritual conference. But we want you to know, we believe it is the Holy Spirit who will bring great things into our lives—if we allow Him to live and work through us. May these special days prepare you to thrive and to serve more fully in the power of praise, because of God’s steadfast love. 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 Long ago, God’s people would journey from near and far to the mount of God, to present themselves before the Lord at His holy temple. And as they went up to Jerusalem, they would joyfully sing the “Psalms of Ascent,” the “going up” songs. We hope that many thousands of Christians will have that kind of exhilarating attitude as they travel to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, to seek a deeper faith and experience from the Lord of Heaven. This year at the 68th annual Bible Lectures, we believe there will be a spirit of joy and praise that is more profound than in all the preceding years of this forum! That is our desire and our prayer as a Lectures Team. And it is the goal toward which we have been striving for many months now. As you know, there are moments that come in a person’s life that never appear again—the birth of a child, the warmth of a new love, that certain sunset over the ocean, the morning fog in the pines. Seven men of God will be in Malibu to bring us before the Lord of unchanging faithfulness, and they will open “God’s hymnal,” the extraordinary Book of Psalms. And we believe these will be moments not to be missed. We are convinced that they will point us toward the incomparable Christ and the everlasting Father of Lights. God knows that words and music can do things to the human heart that nothing else can do. That’s why the Psalms have blessed millions of people through the ages. And this week in Malibu will be like no other. Perhaps you are aware that we have been expanding the Pepperdine Bible Lectures into an international forum, and this year we will welcome participants from 30 nations around the world, including teachers from 40 states of America. Jerry Rushford, Joella Michael, Tami Williamson, and Rick Gibson There will be an anticipatory spirit of Pentecost in the air as people stream onto campus and into more than 300 classes and events presented by excellent and enthusiastic teachers “This special week will be about lifting and performers.

Adair Doctor of Ministry School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary 2010 This final project facilitates a doctrinal intervention to help emerging adults at Harding University understand and appropriate the biblical teaching of Christ’s humanity in order to bring about holistic spiritual formation. The intervention takes place during five or six class periods in two college courses at a private, liberal arts college in Searcy, Arkansas affiliated with the Churches of Christ. The students in these classes are in a liminal stage of life marked by a quest for identity. Their tattoos tangibly bear witness to this quest and to their postmodern leanings. The majority of these students share a background in the Churches of Christ of the American Restoration Movement. This project seeks to ground these students’ identities in Christ while addressing a potential deficiency in their inherited views of Christ, namely, a superficial understanding of his human nature.

  • Max Lucado – Biography Author of You Are Never Alone: Trust in the Miracle of God’S Presence and Power
    Max Lucado – Biography Author of You Are Never Alone: Trust in the Miracle of God’s Presence and Power You can’t read Max Lucado’s writing and not be changed. You can’t hear his words and not come away encouraged. You see his words on the page, you hear his words on social media, your brain processes them, but they end up planting themselves in your heart, somehow creating beautiful blossoms of hope and encouragement in the process, helping you see God’s love more clearly than you ever imagined. With poetic storytelling combined with a familiar, downhome tone, Max is committed to making known to all the grace and acceptance found in Jesus. You could grab any book from Lucado’s extensive catalog and hand it to a friend going through challenging circumstances, knowing they’ll be helped, and not preached at. These are the qualities that have made Max one of the world’s most popular authors. Entering his 35th year as a published author, with 140 million books in print, Max has occupied spots on every major national bestseller list. During the COVID crisis, Max became a rich source of pastoral wisdom, with more than 10 million views of his daily video check-ins and online church in less than 45 days. In addition to pastoring virtually, Lucado continues to serve as Teaching Minister at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, TX, where he has been on staff since 1988. His writing has been translated into more than 54 languages and has been featured in countless national media outlets.
