WELCOME TO THE HARDING LECTURESHIP! · 2020-01-13 · Richardson, Clay Smith, Daniel Stockstill,...

Dear friends,

Welcome to Harding’s 93rd annual Bible Lectureship! Lectureship is a tradition that is as old as Harding University. Since our very first fall as a four-year college, students and friends of Harding have gathered from across the country and around the world for this special occasion. Lectureship has always been part-homecoming, part-revival, part-intensive Bible study, and part-celebration of the University itself. You might say that Lectureship is one of Harding’s gifts to the church and that your presence at Lecture-ship is a gift from you to Harding. So, welcome and thanks for coming!

Since joining us in 2013 to serve as Harding’s vice president for church relations, Dan Williams has taken Lectureship to new heights. Each year the crowds are larger, and the program is packed with more resources and opportunities than ever before. Working year-round with an excellent team of church leaders from both on and off campus, Dr. Williams continues to find ways to address the needs and requests of our Lecture-ship guests. For 28 years, he preached for the College Avenue Church of Christ in El Dorado, Arkansas. Consequently, he ap-proaches Lectureship with the heart and vision of someone who has spent his life “in the trenches” of congregational minis-try. I think you will see evidence of that on every page of the Lectureship program.

Again, welcome to campus! We are so glad you came, and we pray that you have an inspiring, uplifting, refreshing and renew-ing experience at Lectureship this year.

Dr. Bruce McLarty President

The seraphs were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6:3

Dear guests,

When Isaiah caught a glimpse of the holiness of Almighty God, it changed his whole life. It is our prayer that you will leave this year’s Lectureship with a renewed sense of God’s presence and a transformed spirit from having been reminded of his glory!

We have assembled a lineup of dynamic speakers for this year’s program. My thanks to them for their willingness to share the fruits of their scholarship.

In addition, the Lectureship Committee spent many months in careful preparation. I am indebted to Scott Adair, Tom Alexander, Andrew Baker, Nathan Guy, Dale Manor, Karl McLarty, Sherry Pollard, Bill Richardson, Clay Smith, Daniel Stockstill, Devin Swindle, Phil Thompson, Anessa Westbrook and Noel Whitlock for their vital contributions. I am especially grateful to Teresa Castleman, our event coordina-tor, for her creative suggestions and her invaluable work in organizing the many moving parts that make up this annual event.

Finally, our deepest appreciation goes to you, our Lectureship guests, for your support and encouragement, your active par-ticipation in this program, and above all, for your work in the kingdom.

“Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” PSALM 100

Our goal for this Lectureship is to explore and experience what it means to live in the presence of an awe-some and holy God. There is no better way to come into our Father’s presence than with the reverent rejoic-ing of worship. That’s why we have built into the schedule multiple opportunities to join our hearts and voices with fellow Christians in singing praises to the Lord.

In addition, the format of this year’s schedule reflects two significant changes. First, we have added a feature called Morning Praise. Each day from 8:30-8:55 a.m., Rick Castleman and Caleb Dillinger will lead an uplift-ing worship assembly in the Administration Auditorium.

Second, following the Morning Praise session, we will enjoy our first keynote address of the day at 9 a.m. in the same auditorium. At 9:45 a.m. we will dismiss for our regularly scheduled class presentations in the Mc-Inteer Bible and World Missions Building.

Adding the Morning Praise enables us to start the day off on a holy, happy note. Moving the keynote address to 9 a.m. allows our speakers to set the tone for the day and shortens our walk to lunch after the 11 a.m. classes.

Please make a note of these changes in our Lectureship format and plan to join your brothers and sisters from around the nation each morning as together we “worship the Lord with gladness and come before Him with joyful songs!”

Contagious Holiness, part 2: Holy Ear, Holy Thumb, Holy Toe — A Christian’s Ordination Into the PriesthoodKevin Youngblood, Cone ChapelMost Christians would never think of them-selves as priests, but God has ordained every believer into the priesthood. If we took that ordination seriously, how would it change the way we think about our personal holiness and our relationship to God and the world?

Church as Pure Community or as Commu-nity of Reconciliation and Forgiveness?: The Problem of Holiness in Early Church Controversy, part 2Allen Diles, McInteer 225The church in the fourth and fifth centuries was faced with the dilemma of what to do with unholy ministers and whether their ministry was valid. We examine the Donatist Schism and Augustine of Hippo to see how the early church resolved this problem.

The Keys to Making and Retaining Disciples, part 1: Foundations of a Discipleship CultureJoshua Freeman, McInteer 125Scripture calls us to make disciples, but where do we begin and what should we know? This session will provide answers to those questions.

The Business of Ministry, part 1 — Rank or Rank and File?Mike Tune, McInteer 145What is the preacher’s role and how should we see our place in the church? This session develops the theological foundations for the work of ministry.

Church as Pure Community or as Commu-nity of Reconciliation and Forgiveness? The Problem of Holiness in Early Church Controversy, part 1Allen Diles, McInteer 225The church in the third century was faced with the dilemma of what to do with those who had denied the faith in the face of persecution but who, once the persecution passed, wished to be restored to the fellowship. We examine Cyprian and the Novatian schism to learn how the early church resolved this problem.

Shepherding, part 1: How You Can Contribute the One Thing Any Group of Christians Especially NeedsJim Martin, McInteer 229Some shepherds question the value of their contribution their fellow shepherds or even to the congregation. We will talk about the most important contribution a shepherd can make.

Holy Scriptures: What’s So Special About the Bible?David Anguish, McInteer 230Paul showed that we are wise to esteem and “con-tinue … in the sacred writings.” This presentation will remind us of the Bible’s unique origin, benefits and practical value (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Highway to Hell: Sin DefinedDavid Smith, McInteer 353“We have met the enemy, and he is us” (Pogo) — or in us, at least. Here we hold sin up to the light and seek to name the darkness.

Shepherding, part 2: How You Can Have More Energy to Effectively Serve as a ShepherdJim Martin, McInteer 229Many shepherds are tired and worn out. This class will discuss how to build intentional habits into your life that can be life-giving.

Holy Fear: Reclaiming a Reverence for GodBill Richardson, McInteer 230Several factors have contributed to the current demise of reverence for Almighty God. Has an easy familiarity with the divine removed the awe and created in us a sense of complacency in our Christian life? Recapturing a holy fear of the living God will motivate surrender to his will and energize us for our Christian walk.

Perpetual Profanity: Sin DecriedDavid Smith, McInteer 353Sin is defiant of and disgusting to the deity. Sin is habitual hurt to and through humanity. Here we ponder some of the pictures of sin.

3 p.m. MONDAY CLASSESFrom Muslim to Christian, part 1: I Am an Arab, and I Am a ChristianWissam Al-Aethawi, Heritage AuditoriumChristian philosophers have often identified the three transcendentals as truth, goodness and beauty. They also said we usually respond to these in the exact opposite order. Interestingly enough, this is how I converted out of my fam-ily’s faith of Islam, through atheism, into Christ.

Contagious Holiness, part 3: Is Cleanliness Next to Godliness? Bizarre Purity Laws and Their Relevance for Christian HolinessKevin Youngblood, Cone ChapelHoliness in the Pentateuch often takes on bizarre manifestations that seem completely irrelevant to our contemporary lives. But what if we shared the symbolic world of ancient Israel? What might we then see in these esoteric purity laws that can help us more faithfully pursue and participate in God’s holiness?

Pathways of Transformation: Strategies for Churches to Clarify Purpose and Build Ministry Momentum, part 3Carlus Gupton, McInteer 150

The Keys to Making and Retaining Disciples, part 3: From Disciple to Disciple MakerJoshua Freeman, McInteer 125How do I turn a disciple into a disciple maker? In this session, we will discuss keys to help the disciple become active in the forming of other disciples.

The Business of Ministry, part 3: Profit and LossMike Tune, McInteer 145This session explores what should be consid-ered in a minister’s compensation.

Celebrating 200 years of Alexander Campbell’s “Sermon on the Law”Allen Diles, McInteer 225On Sept. 1, 1816, Alexander Campbell preached the sermon about which he wondered “that but for the persecution begun on the alleged heresy of this sermon, whether the present reformation had ever been advocated by me.” We examine the content, historical context and influence of this significant sermon.


HOLY HOLY HOLYLiving in the Presence of GodShepherding, part 3: How You Can Practice

Simple Mentoring for Significant ResultsJim Martin, McInteer 229Many people within a congregation long to receive some form of spiritual mentoring. Good mentoring is not complex, yet it can lead to significant results.

Holy Name: Hallowing God’s Name in an OMG WorldHoward Wright, McInteer 230This presentation will look at various ways that we as Christians have forgotten how to practice the very presence of God scripturally. The class will also examine the ways that our society has become so flippant about the usage of the OMG terminology. Let’s see if we can get back on track carefully walking with God.

Broken and Bettered: Sin Denied David Smith, McInteer 353Sin didn’t, doesn’t and will not have the final say. God saves the day. Here we celebrate our God’s healing of us of all that is hateful.

10 a.m. TUESDAY CLASSES (All room assignments subject to change) Significant Others: Understanding Our New-est Non-Christian Neighbors — Islam: The Last Word on Submission?Monte Cox, Heritage AuditoriumImmigration has brought more adherents of non-Christian religions to our neighborhoods than ever before. Many of us feel ill-equipped to engage them in conversation about spiritual matters. The purpose of these sessions is to in-troduce us to the basics of Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, highlighting both points of contact and the uniqueness of Christ.

A Review of the New Calvinism: The Resurgence of Calvinism Keith Stanglin, McInteer 150Calvinism has been on the rise among evangeli-cal churches for several years now, and it is infiltrating beyond its typical borders. What is Calvinism, and why is it attractive to so many? What positive things can we learn from it, and what are its negative aspects?

Holiness and Humility: What It Means to Be God’s Own PeopleSheila Vamplin, McInteer 233In the context of 1 Peter 2, this class will exam-ine the crucial part humility plays in a life of holiness. Because of God’s holiness, being “cho-sen” and “royal” mean different things in the world’s (un)reality compared to God’s reality.

Church Discipline: Helping God’s People Toward Holiness, part 1 — A Matter of RepentanceTommy South, McInteer 125Scripture offers ample guidance on church discipline, yet it continues to be neglected in practice. This presentation will ask why this is so, and what can we do about it?


Justin Gerhardt Justin Gerhardt serves as the preaching minister for Round Rock Church of Christ near Austin, Texas. He has a great passion for helping people discover how good the way of Christ really is. Gerhardt and his wife, Jennifer, lead marriage workshops together and have two daughters.



Holiness in the Prophets: “The Holy Mountain,” part 1 — The Divine Warrior and Divine MightDan Oden, McInteer 145The prophets of Israel and Judah speak of the “Holy Mountain” and the “Lord’s mountain.” In some texts, the mountain is the dwelling of the divine warrior who emerges to fight on behalf of God’s people — but at other times the divine warrior fights against God’s people. Under what conditions can we claim that God is “on our side”? What are the implications of the divine warrior not being on any side?

Parenting Foster Children, part 1Crystal Whittington, McInteer 225In these sessions, Dr. Crystal Whittington will share from her experience in parenting and adopting from within the foster system.

When Life Overwhelms Me, part 1John Dobbs, McInteer 229Everyone faces times when the events of life and ministry are crushing. When feeling over-whelmed, we look to God for help, peace and favor. These three sessions will focus on three Psalms and seek to find help when the waters of life would have engulfed us if it had not been for the Lord.

Children’s Ministry: Creative Ideas Any Church Can Use, part 1Alan Underwood, McInteer 353

Missions: Holiness, a Theology for MissionsShawn Daggett, McInteer 234

Pure Heart Vision: Jesus’ Farewell Speech in Action — How Redemptive Love WorksRandy Willingham, Liberty RoomRandy Willingham provides practical applica-tions that build upon the presentations by Jim Bury and Peter Rice. The focus is to give action-able insight to participants that heighten their sensitivity to living in the presence of God.

11 a.m. TUESDAY CLASSESSignificant Others: Understanding Our Newest Non-Christian Neighbors — Hinduism: None of Self, All of Thee?Monte Cox, Heritage Auditorium

A Review of the New Calvinism: Uncondi-tional Election, Free Will and EvilKeith Stanglin, McInteer 150Calvinism teaches that God chooses certain people for salvation with no regard for their faith or willingness to be saved. The remainder he leaves to be condemned in their sin. What are the implications of such a view for human freedom, divine grace, and God’s responsibility for evil?

Bearing Holy Fruit: Practical Resources for Spiritual GrowthSheila Vamplin, McInteer 2332 Peter 1:3-11 speaks of our becoming partak-ers of the divine nature, meaning much more than simply being “cleansed from old sins.” This session will offer resources for growing, and helping others grow, in the “things that pertain to life and godliness.”

Church Discipline: Helping God’s People Toward Holiness, part 2 — God’s Gift for a Healthier, Holier ChurchTommy South, McInteer 125Church discipline isn’t a burden but rather an expression of God’s love for his people and our love for one another. Practicing it will help the church be more of what God desires us to be.

Holiness in the Prophets: “The Holy Mountain, “ part 2 — Edenic Cosmology and Divine PresenceDan Oden, McInteer 145The prophets of Israel and Judah speak of the “Holy Mountain” and the “Lord’s mountain.” Often, in prophetic oracles this mountain is depicted in cosmological terms as Eden, whose creator and inhabitant is God. What does it mean if not only the heavens, but the earth was created for God’s holy presence?

3 p.m. TUESDAY CLASSESFrom Muslim to Christian, part 2: Is Isa Jesus?Wissam Al-Aethawi, Heritage AuditoriumThe Muslim scripture, the Quran, talks about a man by the name Isa, whom Muslims iden-tify as Jesus. When asked, Muslims say that they believe in him. In fact, the belief in Isa is a requisite in the Islamic faith. But who is this Isa? Is he the same as Jesus? If Muslims believe, as they claim, in him, then why does it look like we have two distinct faiths? And do Muslims expect the same promise that comes out of faith in Isa as the one in John 3:16?

Significant Others: Understanding Our Newest Non-Christian Neighbors — Buddhism: Suffering for Nothing?Monte Cox, McInteer 225

A Review of the New Calvinism: Assurance of SalvationKeith Stanglin, McInteer 150Calvinism teaches that the elect can never fall from God’s grace and that assurance of one’s own salvation is an integral part of saving faith itself. But what are the implications of this view for the Christian life of sanctification, and on what basis can one be assured?

Wholly Holy: The Single Life With GodSusan Shirel, McInteer 233We are called to be holy as God is holy, regard-less of our circumstances. It can be challenging to pursue holiness if the life we live does not match our expectations, hopes or dreams. By reframing our thinking to align with God’s and trusting in his faithfulness, it is possible to live a life that is wholly holy no matter the situation.

Church Discipline: Helping God’s People Toward Holiness, part 3 — Starting Down a Road We FearTommy South, McInteer 125Before we begin to discipline, there must be an atmosphere of genuine love and fellowship, along with a deep trust in the goodness and power of God.

Holiness in the Prophets: “The Holy Moun-tain,” part 3 — The Community of God and Divine HabitationDan Oden, McInteer 145The prophets of Israel and Judah speak of the “Holy Mountain” and the “Lord’s mountain.” Looking to the future, the prophets proclaim a New Zion in which God and man will dwell to-gether. Are we ready to live in God’s ZIP code?

When Life Overwhelms Me, part 3John Dobbs, McInteer 229

Reconnecting, not Disconnecting: Address-ing the Impact of Social Media and Cyber-Bullying on Depression and SuicideMarc Fager and Sam Jeffrey, McInteer 230In this class, we will discuss the social and cy-ber threats to the family, how to counter them, overcoming self-doubt as a parent, and building a community of knowledge within the commu-nity of faith.

The Most Holy Place: Foreshadowing Christ Through Sacred Space (Exodus 40:16-38)Jesse Robertson, McInteer 353According to Hebrews 8:5, the Tabernacle was “a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things.” What does this holy structure, along with its furnishings and ceremonies, teach us about God’s great plan

Missions: Dealing With Spiritual Struggles in MissionsKen Graves, McInteer 234

History of Hymnody in the Restoration Movement, part 2: Holy Words, Long Pre-served — When Christians Disagree About Hymns and HymnalsSteven Wolfgang, McInteer 353From at least the 19th to the 21st centuries, dis-agreement and controversy over hymns, hym-nals and worship styles have scarred and shaped how we worship.

What the Church Needs More Than Anything Else: Revival!Steven Guy, McInteer 230Revival is a restoration of the joy found in Christianity (Psalm 51:12-13). It is not like bap-tism — a one-time experience. It is a periodic need (Psalm 85:6).

History of Hymnody in the Restoration Movement, part 3: Be Holy, for I Am Holy — Letting the Past Form and Inform Future Hymn WorshipSteven Wolfgang, McInteer 353What is happening in 21st century hymnody, and how can we learn from the past to promote the melodious harmony of congregational singing?
