OLD BOOKS

When C.S. Lewis was asked to write an introduction for a new translation of Athanasius’ book On the Incarnation, he wrote an essay on “The Reading of Old Books” which is quite instructive. Let me quote a bit from it:

“There is a strange idea abroad that in every subject the ancient books should be read only by the professionals, and that the amateur should content himself with the modern books . . . This mistaken preference for the modern books and this shyness of the old ones is nowhere more rampant than in theology. Now this seems to me topsy-turvy. Naturally, since I myself am a writer, I do not wish the ordinary reader to read no modern books. But if he must read only the new or only the old, I would advise him to read the old . . . A new book is still on its trial and the amateur is not in a position to judge it. It has to be tested against the great body of Christian thought down the ages, and all its hidden implications (often unsuspected by the author himself) have to be brought to light. It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much for you, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones. Every age has its own outlook. It is specifically good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books. We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century—the blindness about which posterity will ask, “But how could they have thought that?”—lies where we have never suspected it . . . The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.”

I love the image of old books and thoughts and arguments being like a “clean sea breeze” which blows through our minds and brings with it something which challenges our assumptions. When I used to rock climb, every climb you took was graded for how hard it was, either for the obstacles it presented or the technical challenges one would find on it. But at the end, the climb was always worth it. Old books are not easily read; they do provide obstacles and challenges, but they are certainly worth the effort. Very often you can find a modern translation which will help with the language barrier while keeping the argument before you. It’s exciting to encounter brothers and sisters who don’t see the “world” or the “faith” from your shared perspective, but you can tell they love the Lord in what they say.

So use these dog days of summer wisely and make some new “old” friends!

Standing in grace, living in hope,

Dave

AUGUST 2018 CENTRAL PRESS 4

This year is now halfway over, and the Finance Commission has begun the budget planning process for 2019. As part of that process the commission will be providing a series of articles and presentations to the congregation entitled “A Moment for Stewardship.”

When talking about stewardship, our church refers to one’s use of “Time, Talents, and Treasure.” The most recent example of this was during Vacation Bible School, where many members of the congregation gave their time, used their amazing talents, and provided the financial support to ensure that the almost 200 children in attendance had a fun-filled and meaningful Christ-centered experience.

I recently read an article by Hugh Whelchel entitled the “Four Principles of Biblical Stewardship.” These principles are:

1. The Principle of Ownership

The 24th Psalm begins with, “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” The principle here is that God has created everything and, therefore, everything we have is a gift from Him. We are simply managers or caretakers of His property.

2. The Principle of Responsibility

If we believe the first principle, that leads up to the second. God gives us everything we have: time, talents, and resources to enjoy, but with that comes responsibility. We are stewards of God, tasked with managing the gifts He has given us. The Bible constantly asks, “What are your responsibilities?” Owners have rights, stewards have responsibilities.

3. The Principle of Accountability

With responsibility comes accountability. We are all stewards of the resources, abilities, and opportunities that God has entrusted to our care, and one day each of us will be called to give an account for how we manage what the Master has given us. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus tells us that God has entrusted us with authority over His creation and to manage it in accord with the principles He has established. However, at some point we will be called to account for our time, money, abilities, information, wisdom, relationships, and authority.

4. The Principle of Reward

The result of being a faithful servant is God’s reward. Paul writes in Colossians 3:23-24, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know you will receive an inheritance from the Lord.” The Bible shows us in the parables of the Kingdom that faithful stewards who do God’s will, with resources He gives them, will be rewarded. Our reward may be incomplete in this life, but will be fully complete in the next.

If we follow the Principles of Biblical Stewardship, we can expect to hear those words from Matthew 25:21, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share the Master’s happiness.” Ed Sowers

A MOMENT FOR STEWARDSHIP

GENERATIONS


Psalm 33:11 - But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

When I began working with CPC college students about 2 months ago, I knew I would have my work cut out for me. This group of kids has been underserved and underrepresented in our church body for a long time. This is not an indictment on CPC, however, as I believe this to be largely true in the majority of churches across America. For many reasons, valid and invalid, this age group has largely been missing from our worship services for quite some time. Why? As with any complex and important issue, there is not a simple answer. And while there are entire books dedicated to understanding and fixing this issue, I’ve found the beginning of the answer is this: RELATIONSHIP. It’s not a new or novel idea, and I certainly didn’t come up with it. But if we want young people to know and experience God and the love of Jesus Christ, we have to be willing to enter into a relationship with them. And a true relationship is reciprocal; if we expect young people to listen to us, we must listen to them. We must hear their perspective, without judgement. We must be willing to love them and serve them. We must earn the right to speak truth to them, and we must have the discernment to do so wisely and appropriately. I believe with all my heart that this generation of young people is ready to engage, but tired of being “spoken to.” I see their excitement and willingness to be a part of God’s story, eager to find their place in it, but unwilling to simply be told what to do. We must be willing to walk together, to sharpen each other, and to trust God is leading us somewhere beautiful. And what I’ve seen firsthand over the last 2 months is the evidence of that. Our crowd has grown from a dozen kids in our first meeting to about 40 just last week. It’s exciting to see their faces, their genuine interest, as I tell stories about Jesus, then we have incredible conversations about what those stories mean to them and how they live. Please pray for us as we pursue Jesus together, and if you’re at all interested in what God is doing in this ministry, I’d love to sit down and have coffee with you!

STUDENT MINISTRIES Hello church family, We are finally back from camps, back from retreats, and ready to get things back to normal in August. We have a few pool parties left, but starting the 15th we are back to our regular school schedules. Shocking to think school is already here, but excited for another year to start. This past month we had all our camps, retreats, day trips and more, and they were all really exciting and fun. Be on the lookout for some surprise events here in August to make for some great memories before heading back to school. We have an awesome leaders retreat planned, and some back to school events - junior high on August 15th, and high school on August 19th. Looking forward to the norm, and to seeing what this incredible year has for us, since the summer was such a great one. In His Grip, Travis Lodes

KRISTEN THOMAS

New Covenant Partner

CPC Office Manager

Kristen was born and raised in the Merced. Her parents, Kevin and Mendy, have been happily married for 33 years. Kristen is the oldest of five kids; she has three brothers: Kristopher (26), Kolt (21), and Kaden (11), and one sister, Khloë (17). Her fondest childhood memories took place on her family ranch growing up. Kristen’s family would grow alfalfa every year and every year they would wait for the tractor and trencher to pull a dirt ditch and in turn release the irrigation water into the freshly pulled dirt ditch; the children would invite their friends over for mud wars while their parents would visit. Kristen grew up in a Christian home and went to private Christian school, but truly came to know the Lord while attending Hume Lake Christian Camp in 8th grade. She worked as the Children’s Ministry Intern at Yosemite Church for three years during high school, and stood in place of their Children’s Director for a little over a year of that time. Kristen enjoys road trips, baseball games (Go Cardinals!), photography, clay shooting, and finding good places to eat and drink. One thing Kristen would like to accomplish is learning to quilt at some point in her life. Kristen has gone through multiple trials in her 27 years of life teaching her strength, compassion, and to live everyday as it comes, as it is a gift from God. Kristen has been the Office Manager at CPC for over a year now and in October of 2017 made the choice to become a Covenant partner. Her favorite scripture is Isaiah 40:31, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

MISSIONS CORNER

The Mission Commission Announces…

CPC’s Fall Mission Conference Good news for those who were energized by attending last year’s conference and for those who were unable to attend...we’re going to do another this September 14-15! Mark your calendar to ensure that you join other CPC’ers and friends from local churches to learn more about the people and agencies that CPC supports, find out about what’s happening in the world of missions in

breakout groups, and be encouraged by this year’s Keynote Speaker: Rev. Dan McNerney, Associate Director of Frontier Fellowship. Dan’s calling to Frontier Mission led him from working as an agriculture commodities trader after graduating from Yale to serving as a church planter in Costa Rica during the early 1980s. Following his return from Costa Rica in 1985, Dan pursued his Master of Divinity degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and became an ordained minister. He went on to serve the same church in which he grew up and led numerous short-term mission teams in cross-cultural settings such as Mexico and East Africa.

Dan has been on staff with Frontier Fellowship for over 20 years and has pioneered work in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. He’s currently engaged in Middle Eastern mission initiatives, counsel and mobilization for American churches’ missional practices, and bridge-building efforts with Muslim leaders and communities in the US. He and his wife, Sharon, live with their five children in the Chicago area, where he enjoys playing in an adult hockey league and cheering for his kids’ teams.
