Annual Faulkner Lectures
The theme for the 2013 Faulkner Lectures is "The Power of Parables: Bible Stories that Comfort, Convict & Convert." We will be exploring the theological richness of some of the Old Testament and New Testament parables. Additionally, many presentations and panel discussions will cover pressing and important Christian topics that are designed to encourage, to fortify, and to build faith. We believe that God will touch both mind and heart as we all seek to glorify God in the church that belongs to Jesus! Make plans to be on the campus of Faulkner University for an inspirational and spiritual experience!

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“It’s not that we have too much mother, but too little father. We can’t forgive our mothers for taking the place of our fathers until we are ready to see that the point of a man’s life is to be a father and a mentor, and we can’t do that because we don’t know how we would be a father or a mentor when we never had one.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
