Daring To Teach Lesson for February 9, 1958 'T' EACHING is not always a drab * matter of pounding facts into people’s heads. It can be something much mo r e exciting than fine theories which only a few “egg-heads” can understand. Teaching can be dramatic; it can even be daring. It can be met not only with sleepy Indifference but Nwll with stones, rot- cIF Wl ten eggs or B ; M worse. This is true of the teach- 1 | Ing of the church. ! Wy*' |fl Admitted, what the church some- H times passes off ■■■ tor “teaching” is duff stuff. There Dr. Foreman i are churches where what is taught ! seems to make no difference whatever to the people who hear it. ] There are churches where the 1 preacher or teacher seems to have , joined the politician in singing -the praises of home, peace and mother, - j amen. How It Was With Jesus Teaching can get people into ’ ; trouble. Jesus himself went to the- j cross because of his teachings. The j mobs that nearly lynched him on more than one occasion were stirred by his teaching. Whether people were angered or not, they were always impressed, — astonished. Matthew says. Yet he dared to teach, and did not quiet down over “controversial” issues. He exI pected his followers to be equally daring, but he did not tell them, to expect every one who heard them to believe them. If the church in any way follows Christ. Jt must be : a teaching church, and must..not j : shrink seem . teaching’the unpopu- j i lar, the unpleasant, when it is true. The first word spoken to Jesus after the resurrection, so far as our record; goes, was the word.. Rabboni! which means Teacher! One of the last commands he gave his disciples, was to go and in their j turn make disciples of all nations —that is, make pupils;- for “disciple” means "learner," “student." Teaching Through Centuries All down the centuries we find -, the church teaching. Philip teaches a long rider the meaning of a passage fr.om the Bible; Paul highlights two s p e c i a l matters for Timothy’s special concentration: himself —his personal life—and his teaching. Timothy is to entrust the truth to men who will be able to teach still others. When Paul is urging Timothy to (Paul's) example, the first item he mentions in his teaching. When Paul holds up the importance of the-Scriptures, the first point he mentions is the usefulness of the Bible in teaching There was plenty of preaching in Paul's life, but he was not one to let teaching fall out as gight. So it was in the long history of the church. It is true, there were places and times when the teaching duties of the church were for--gotten.' But-as the Roman-Empire-crumbled and darkness fell across Europe, it was the Christian church which undertook the vast work of teaching the raw and untamed barbarian peoples of the continent— Every monastery was a center that kept the lamp of learning alight. One Bishop of the Bth and 9th centuries—Theodulph of Orleans, was not only the leading poet of his time, but as BisTiop he insisted that “very one of his priests establish a school and make education open to all. Guibert of Nogent, an Abbot who lived at the time of the Crusades, wrote a little book he called “How to Make a Sermon" but it is plain he had no use for pulpit arators; he wanted sermons from which wide-awake listeners could -learn Christian truth. rhe Courage to Teach In our time, what with the printing press, radio, TV, prosperity, and photography, the church teaches in many more ways, and more effectively, than could ba done tn any Christian century before now. In Sunday schools, day schools, colleges, conferences, study groups; in newspapers, quarterlies, tracts, magazines, books, film strips, catechisms, plays; in pronouncements of church courts, tn textbooks, in popular books, in the findings of great Interchurch study conferences such as the one at Oberlin last September; in these as by the week-to-week preaching of the Word all around the world, ' the church is teaching her mem-1 bers, often what many members ] do not welcome (as when a south- , ern church speaks out against segregation), what the Word of God means when rpoken in today's world. . _ -i .

< : 4,—.— — Have We Paid This Bill? i Rev. J. R. Meadows The payment of a proportionate share of his income to God through the church is as binding upon the Christian as the obligation to pay taxes or interest. on loans or rent or bills for electric ; light, water and gas. We owe it ; to God that we meet our obligations to Him. He is the Owner of all we have and enjoy, we are only possessors for a time. He insists that He be acknowledged as the Owner by the payment of a portion for the carrying on of His work here on earth. Our personal likes or dislikes do not enter. We dare not refuse to pay taxes because we dislike some official. We cannot honestly refuse to pay interest because we do not like the cashier who made, th eloan. We are in duty bound to pay our rent even if the- landlord has been slandered and we hbve developed a prejudice against him. —We must pay bur bills for electric power even if the representative who installed the wiring for the company has incurred the dislike of our neighbor.
