Saudara-saudara dalam Tuhan

Selamat berjumpa dalam Berita ICCC

Indonesia-Edisi bulan Maret 2010

Baru saja kita menyelenggarakan Annual

Membership Gathering 2010di mana pesan

yang kuat muncul bahwa menghadapi situasi

ekonomi dunia yang penuh spekulasi kita

harus terus meningkatkan kepekaan akan pimpinan Roh Kudus dan

FirmanNya Kualitas hubungan dan kedekatanintimasi kita dengan Bapa

perlu terus diperbaharui

Kita masih terus prihatin dengan kondisi dunia politik di tanah air yang

masih rapuh diterpa kepentingan golongan yangmengesampingkan

kepentingan masyarakat umum Kualitas lingkungan hidup kita juga

semakin hari semakin buruk Ketamakan manusia tidak bisa dibendung

hanya dengan peraturan

Mari kita bersama terus membawa bangsa dan negara kita dalam doa

agar rancangan Tuhan yang baik dapat diwujudkan

Saat ini disebut era Rising Asia di mana bangsa- bangsa Asia mulai

bergerak dari pinggiran ke tengah-tengah kekuatan ekonomi dunia

Dimanakah posisi Indonesia dalam kebangkitan ekonomi negara-negara

Asia Dengan resources yang begitu besar Indonesia sangat berpeluang

untuk mengambil peran penting di Asia Akankah kita mampu meraih

pertumbuhan ekonomi yang dapat mennyejahterakan rakyat banyak

Namun tidak seharusnya kita berharap kepada aspek materi atau jasmani

saja melainkan aspek rohani juga Mari bersama sama kita

mengupayakan kebangkitan rohani di marketplaceTuhan akan

membangkitkan para pelaku bisnis yang menjadikan bisnisnya sebagai

platform untuk memberitakan Injil Kerajaan Allah Tuhan akan

menggerakkan hati para pelaku bisnis untuk menjadi mitra Tuhan bagi

KerajaanNyaTidak akan ada lagi status sekuler dan sakral Semuanya

menjadi sakral ketika yang menjadi pusat adalah Kristus

Kita doakan agar Indonesia bangkit menjadi alat Tuhan dalam

mendemonstrasikan kasih dan kuasaNya bahkan menjadi berkat bagi

bangsa-bangsa lain di dunia

Mari bersama sama memberi dukungan ICCC agar dapat meningkatkan

perannya dalam melayani Tuhan di marketplace di Indonesia khususnya

Doa kiranya menjadi pusat dari segala kegiatan kita

Seberapa tinggi kita naik ditentukan oleh seberapa banyak kita berdoa

TESTIMONY amp WISDOM

Foundations

Cultivate a stewardlsquos mindset

1 Recognise God created everything

In the beginning there was nothing and God created (Genesis 11)

2 Recognise God owns everything ―The silver is mine and the gold is minelsquo declares the LORD Almighty (Haggai 28) ―Every animal of the forest is mine and the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 5010) ―The earth and the fullness thereof belong to the Lord and all those who live within (Psalm 3721)

3 Realise we cannot serve two masters ―No one can serve two masters For you will hate one and love the other or be devoted to one and despise the other You cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 624)

4 Use resources wisely

―His master replied 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 your masterlsquos happinesslsquo (Matthew 2521ndash28)

5 Pursue biblical guidance ―Buy the truth and do not sell it get wisdom discipline and understanding (Proverbs 2323) ―Plans fail for lack of counsel but with many advisers they succeed (Proverbs 1522)

6 Plan through prayer ―Commit to the LORD whatever you do and your plans will succeed (Proverbs 163)

7 Be trustworthy in financial dealings ―Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth who will trust you with true


Page 6

riches And if you have not been trustworthy with someone elselsquos property who will give you property of your own (Luke 1610ndash12)

Earning

The Diligent EarnermdashOne who produces with diligence and purpose and is content and grateful for what he or she has God established work while Adam and Eve were yet in the Garden of Eden God invited them to join him in the ongoing act of caring for creation Work before the fall of Adam and Eve is a blessing not a curse All work has dignity Our work should be characterized by the following principles

1 Be diligent Serve God ―Whatever you do work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord (Colossians 323)

2 Provide for those who depend on us ―Those who wonlsquot care for their own relatives especially those living in the same household have denied what we believe Such people are worse than unbelievers (1 Timothy 58)

3 Be grateful Remember the source of income ―Remember the LORD your God for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth (Deuteronomy 818)

4 Enjoy your work Be content in it ―It is good for people to eat well drink a good glass of wine and enjoy their workmdashwhatever they do under the sunmdashfor however long God lets them live And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it To enjoy your work and accept your lot in lifemdashthat is indeed a gift from God (Ecclesiastes 518-19)

5 Become transformed workers ―Slaves obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and with sincerity of heart just as you would obey Christ Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you but like slaves of Christ doing the will of God from your heart (Ephesians 65-6)

6 Earn potential Share the excess ―If you are a thief stop stealing Begin using your hands for honest work and then give generously to others in need (Ephesians 428)

Giving The Generous GivermdashOne who gives with an

obedient will a joyful attitude and a compassionate heart

1 Recognise we are created to give We are made in the image of God (Genesis 126-27) God is gracious and generous We will lead a more satisfied and fulfilled life when we give to others

2 Give as a response to Godrsquos generosity ―Every good and perfect gift is from above (James 117) Therefore we give out of gratefulness for what we have received

3 Give as a sign of trust and dependency on God ―But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 633)

4 Give to help create economic equality and justice ―Our desire is that there might be equality At the present time your plenty will supply what they need (2 Corinthians 813-14) Throughout Scripture God expresses his concern for the poor and calls us to share with those less fortunate

5 Give to bless others ―I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you I will make your name great and you will be a blessing And I will bless you and make your name great and so you shall be a blessing (Genesis 122-3) If we are blessed with resources beyond our needs it is not for the purpose of living more lavishly but to bless others We are blessed to be a blessing

6 Be willing to share ―Command them [the rich] to do good to be rich in good deeds and to be generous and willing to share (I Timothy 618)

7 Give joyfully and generously ―Out of the most severe trial their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity For I testify that they gave as much as they were able and even beyond their ability Entirely on their own they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints (2 Corinthians 81-5)


Page 7

8 Give wisely

―We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift (2 Corinthians 820)

9 Give expectantly and cheerfully

―The one who plants generously will get a generous crop You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give Donlsquot give reluctantly or in response to pressure For God loves the person who gives cheerfully (2 Corinthians 96-7 see also verses 10-14)

10 Recognise motives are important Unless our motives are right we can give all we havemdasheven our bodies as sacrificesmdashand it will be for naught (I Corinthians13) We can be scrupulous with tithing and still not have the right motives Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of his day for this very thing ― You hypocrites You give a tenth of your spicesmdashmint dill and cummin But you have neglected the more important matters of the lawmdashjustice mercy and faithfulness (Matthew 2323)

Saving

The Wise SavermdashOne who builds preserves and invests with discernment

1 Recognise it is wise to save

―In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil but [the] foolish devour all [they have] (Proverbs 2120) ―Go to the ant you sluggard consider its ways and be wise It has no commander no overseer or ruler yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers it food at harvest (Proverbs 68)

2 Realise it is sinful to hoard And he gave them an illustration ―A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops In fact his barns were full to overflowing So he said I know Ilsquoll tear down my barns and build bigger ones Then Ilsquoll have room enough to store everything And Ilsquoll sit back and say to myself My friend you have enough stored away for years to come Now take it easy Eat drink and be merrylsquo But God said to him You fool You will die this very night Then who will get it all lsquoYes a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God (Luke 1216-21)

3 Prioritise and evaluate the costs

―But donlsquot begin until you count the cost For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if there is enough money to pay the bills Otherwise you might complete only the foundation before running out of funds And then how everyone would laugh at you They would say Therelsquos the person who started that building and ran out of money before it was finishedlsquo (Luke 1428-30)

4 Avoid quick-rich schemes ―The trustworthy will get a rich reward But the person who wants to get rich quick will only get into trouble (Proverbs 2820)

5 Seek wise counsellors ―Let the wise listen and add to their learning and let the discerning get guidance (Proverbs 15)

6 Establish a job before building a home ―Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready after that build your house (Proverbs 2427)

7 Diversify assets ―Give portions to seven yes to eight for you do not know what disaster will come upon the land (Ecclesiastes 112)

Debt The Cautious DebtormdashOne who avoids

entering into debt is careful and strategic when incurring debt and always repays debt 1 Repay debt and do so promptly

―The wicked borrow and do not repay but the righteous give generously (Psalm 3721) ― Do not say to your neighbor Come back later Ilsquoll give it tomorrowlsquomdashwhen you now have it with you (Proverbs 328)

2 Avoid the bondage of debt ―The rich rule over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender (Proverbs 227)

3 Recognise debt presumes on the future ―Now listen you who say Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city spend a year there carry on business and make moneylsquo Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow What is your life You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (James 413ndash14)


Page 8

4 Realise debt can foster jealousy and greed ―Beware Donlsquot be greedy for what you donlsquot have Real life is not measured by how much we own (Luke 1215)

5 Give and pay what you owe ―Give everyone what you owe them Pay your taxes and import duties and give respect and honor to all to whom it is due (Romans 137)

6 Be careful about co-signing ―Do not co-sign another personlsquos note or put up a guarantee for someone elselsquos loan If you canlsquot pay it even your bed will be snatched from under you (Proverbs 2226ndash27 NLT)

7 Realise debt will impact spiritual development ―The fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control Against such things there is no law (Galatians 522-23)

Spending

The Prudent ConsumermdashOne who enjoys the fruits of their labor yet guards against

materialism

1 Beware of idols

―You shall not make yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below (Deuteronomy 58) Materialismmdashwhich so saturates our culturemdashis nothing less than a competing theology in which matter (things) is of ultimate significance that is things become gods or idols ― They worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator (Romans 125)

2 Guard against greed Realise things do not bring happiness ―Beware Donlsquot be greedy for what you donlsquot have Real life is not measured by how much we own (Luke 1215)

3 Seek moderation ―Give me neither poverty nor riches but give me only my daily bread Otherwise I may have too much and disown you and say Who is the LORDlsquo Or I may become poor and steal and so dishonor the name of my God (Proverbs 308-9)

4 Be content

―I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation whether well fed or hungry whether living in plenty or in want I can do everything through him who gives me strength (Philippians 412ndash13)

5 ―Godliness with contentment is great gain For we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it But if we have food and clothing we will be content with that (1 Timothy 66ndash8)

6 Donrsquot waste Godrsquos resources ―When they had all had enough to eat he said to his disciples Gather the pieces that are left over Let nothing be wastedlsquo (John 612)

7 Enjoy Godrsquos provision in moderation ―Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth which is so uncertain but to put their hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment Command them to do good to be rich in good deeds and to be generous and willing to share In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life (1 Timothy 617ndash19)

8 Carefully manage resources

―Be sure you know the condition of your flocks give careful attention to your herds for riches do not endure forever and a crown is not secure for all generations (Proverbs 2723ndash24)

5 Keys to Spiritual

Influence at Work

William Peel and Walt Larimore

Influence is the power or capacity to

produce a desired result to impact or to

cause some change to take place Influence

focuses on hearts and changes people from

within It sways their thoughts their perceptions and their valuesmdashchanges the

soil of their hearts As a result influence

also has the power to change behavior

Where does this kind of power come from We may be tempted to assume that the

influence is our position Yes some careers

(professional sports and medicine for

example) provide more opportunities for influence than say plumbing


Page 11

But there is more to being influential than

having MD behind your name A plumber

can be more influential than a doctor when

the following five essentials come together

Spiritual Influence Requires Competence

People are often surprised at this

proposition but the foundational

requirement for spiritual influence is competence By excellence and

competence we donrsquot mean to imply that

you have to be better than everyone else

It does mean however that you are serious about doing your best

Colossians 323 says to work ldquowith all your

heartrdquo Ecclesiastes 910 says ldquoWhatever

your hand finds to do do it with all your

mightrdquo Proverbs 2229 states ldquoDo you see a man skilled in his work He will serve

before kings he will not serve before

obscure menrdquo When it comes to doing

good work Vince Lombardi and the Bible concur The Hall of Fame professional

football coach once said ldquoThe quality of a

personrsquos life is in direct proportion to their

commitment to excellence regardless of their chose field of endeavorrdquo

Consider the impact the Old Testament

character Daniel had on the kings he

served Had Daniel performed in a mediocre manner itrsquos doubtful we would

know of him today no matter how godly he

might have been Look at what

Nebuchadnezzar noted when he

interviewed Daniel and his friends at the end of their education ldquoIn every matter of

wisdom and understanding about which the

king questioned them he found them ten

times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdomrdquo (Daniel

129) Seventy years later King Darius

discovered the same extraordinary

competence ldquoNow Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the

satraps by his exceptional qualities that the

king planned to set him over the whole

kingdomrdquo (Daniel 63)

Consider Jesus Can you imagine him using substandard materials doing shoddy

carpentry work or overcharging his

customers Picture a former customer

sitting in the audience after Jesus began his ministry If he had done poor work canrsquot

you imagine someone turning a deaf ear

and muttering ldquoIrsquom not listening to this

guy anymore I canrsquot trust him The table

he built for me fell apart after only one

yearrdquo An intelligent person might conclude

that Jesusrsquo theology was only as reliable as

his tables

Here is the fundamental principle If we

want people to pay attention to our faith

we must first pay attention to our work

Before we introduce coworkers to God we must introduce God into our work

Spiritual Influence Requires Character

Competence is only part of the influence

equation Itrsquos not enough to be good at

what you do Great character must govern great giftedness if we want to maintain any

influence gained by competent work Lack

of integrity and character has aborted the

influence of many a leader Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton are two who come to

mindmdashbrilliant competent men with

character flaws that diminished their

influence

On the other side are figures like Billy

Graham and C Evert Koop whose integrity

has compelled even their toughest

ideological critics to respect them Authentic Christ-like character consistently

impresses people It engages attention and

influences people because God designed

men and women to admire the character

traits God possesses Unbelieving men and women who were repulsed by the religious

people of the first century were attracted to

Jesus Why Because whenever they

observed him they observed the traits described in Galatians 522mdashlove joy

peace patience kindness gentleness

faithfulness gentleness and self-control

When we exhibit peace love and joy we are magnetic Even if people hate what we

believe over time they will be attracted by

Jesusrsquo character reflected in us Repeatedly

throughout the day ask ldquoWhat would Jesus

do if he were in my workplace How would he respond to this situationrdquo When

competence and Jesusrsquo character link up in

us they produce a palpable impact and

influence

Spiritual Influence Requires

Consideration

Nothing reveals more about your character

than how you treat people It may be a


Page 12

clicheacute but it is one packed with truth

People donrsquot care how much we know until

they know how much we care Character is

not just something we are internally it

expresses itself outwardly in the thoughtfulness we display to othersmdashour

tenderness and compassion our mercy and

kindness our attentiveness and gentleness

Consideration is the logical result of receiving grace If we ever find ourselves

being harsh with someone itrsquos because

wersquove lost the sense of Godrsquos graciousness

to us Paul reminds us of this in his letter to the Philippians believers

If you have any encouragement from being untied

with Christ if any comfort from his love if any

fellowship with the Spirit if any tenderness and

compassion then make my joy complete by being

like-minded having the same love being one in

spirit and purpose Do nothing out of selfish

ambition or vain conceit but in humility consider

others better than yourselves Each of you should

look not only to your own interests but also to the

interests of others (Philippians 21-4 NIV)

One of the most accurate measures of consideration can be taken by watching

people talk about other people in the break

room What do they say How do they say

it

Now turn the mirror on yourself What do

you say about others when they are not in

your presence Do you gossip Do you

degenerate deprecate disparage ridicule

or belittle Paul gives us little wiggle room ldquoDo not let any unwholesome talk come out

of your mouths but only what is helpful for

building others up according to their needs

that it may benefit those who listenrdquo (Ephesians 429) Is this your standard of

speech

If you are a leader communication that

engenders trust includes a lot more than avoiding cutting remarks abusive tongue-

lashings or other fear-based tactics of

management It involves creating an

atmosphere that fosters the free and open

exchange of information and keeps people up-to-date on key issues that affect their

work Keeping people who work for you ldquoin

the knowrdquo shows personal respect and

trust reduces suspicion and invites trust If someone doesnrsquot trust you as his or her

boss that person will not trust you in

spiritual matters either

The same principle holds true if you are the

one reporting to a boss or supervisor Trust

is a two-way street Never think you cannot

have influence including spiritual influence on those who are higher than you on the

corporate ladder And never underestimate

the value to a supervisor of overseeing

employees he or she can trust

Carlton Snow pinpoints a key issue for

those of us who want to express great

character in our outward actions ldquoIf

communication is at the heart of building trust listening is its lifebloodrdquo[1] Good

listeners donrsquot just hear the words they

also seek to understand the speaker They

clarify and reflect back what they hear to

be sure theyrsquove heard accurately They aim not to become defensive if comments or

feedback hit too close to home While

listening they arenrsquot busy formulating what

to say in return They will look into the eyesmdashand the soulsmdashof the person who is

speaking to them

Communication and conduct these two

relational components must go together The way in which we respond to

circumstancesmdashthe way we livemdashtells

people we either care more about ourselves

and our own selfish agendas or we care more about others

The experience of a physician friend

illustrates this point John is an excellent

internist whose character was put on public

display While dealing with the normal public stresses on a young doctor John and

his wife had their first child a son born

with spina bifida Johnrsquos colleagues were

well aware of the strain as he managed his workload while making frequent trips to

Texas Childrenrsquos Hospital

John may have had reason to be irritable

but he rarely was One day during rounds he discovered that a nurse had made a

serious mistake that endangered a patientrsquos

life John reprimanded the nurse firmly but

respectfully She walked away with her

self-respect intactmdashan unusual result when compared with similar encounters with

unhappy doctors John was unaware that a

colleague had overheard his reprimand

ldquoJohnrdquo his colleague said ldquoI overheard how you handled that situation If you were

a preacher Irsquod go to your churchrdquo


Page 13

The fact is John is a preacher You are

too So are we When people see our

competence character and consideration

the things we say have a power equal to or

greater than any sermon preached from a pulpit There is a distance between pulpit

and pew that does not exist in the

workplace

Spiritual Influence Requires Wise Communication

We often meet people who tell us theyrsquore

uncomfortable talking about their faith in

the workplace Others have decided they

can witness without ever saying a word We believe however that deeds without words

are usually just as ineffective as words

without deeds

Theologian D Elton Trueblood concluded that people who declare they can witness

to their faith purely by their deeds are

insufferably self-righteousmdashno one is that

good The apostle Peter reminds us that we need to be ready to speak ldquoBut in your

hearts set apart Christ as Lord Always be

prepared to give an answer to everyone

who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have But do this with

gentleness and respectrdquo (1 Peter 315)

Peterrsquos words also give us a clue that there

may be times to keep our mouths shut

Aggressive evangelists zero on the word ldquoalwaysrdquo while sometimes overlooking the

fact that there is a condition given We are

to be ready to give an answer to ldquoeveryone

who asksrdquo There are times when itrsquos appropriate and times when itrsquos

inappropriate to talk about our faith

Obviously it takes wisdom to know the

difference

A few years ago I (Bill) was talking with a

professor at a major university Because

this university had a reputation for

cultivating a ldquopolitically correctrdquo

environment and was less than warm toward evangelical theology I was curious

to know how he negotiated the conflict

between his faith and the pressures of

academia I said to him ldquoI guess you have to be careful about sharing your faith

hererdquo

He looked at me with a puzzled expression

ldquoNordquo he said ldquoI donrsquot have to be carefulrdquo He paused ldquoBut I do have to be wiserdquo I

got the point

When is it appropriate to share your faith

Here is what we suggest

1 Itrsquos fitting to talk about your faith when

it arises out of the relationships naturally built around your work with another

person As you discuss work and life with

your coworkers informal mention of

spiritual truth will happen naturally just as other topics of personal importance pop

into your conversations

2 Itrsquos appropriate to share you faith when

it naturally fits into the topic of conversation Your conversation should be

organic not mechanicalmdashnot contrived not

crafted or calculated to divert discussion

into another totally unrelated area You

may have observed people who drop the evangelical ldquodiagnostic questionrdquo out of the

blue after a lunch with a colleague ldquoIf you

died tonight and stood before the gates of

heaven and God asked you why he should let you in what would you sayrdquo This can

have a chilling effect on a conversationmdashas

well as on a budding relationship

3 Itrsquos always appropriate to talk about your faith when you are asked A question

is an open door to address a personrsquos

spiritual concern It is not however an

invitation to dump all of you spiritual knowledge on someone in one sitting Give

enough information to answer a personrsquos

question but also be sure to look for ways

to create more curiosity and questions that

can be addressed as time goes on

Spiritual Influence Requires Courage

Following Jesus is anything but a safe

venture You will meet opportunities and

face obstacles that will challenge you to the edge of your faith Remember that true

safety is in following Jesus wherever he

leads But playing it safe is the most

dangerous thing you can do if Jesus is leading you out of your comfort zone

A close walk with God is the only antidote

to fear The Lord commanded Joshua ldquoBe

strong and courageous Do not be terrified

do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you gordquo

(Joshua 19) When the heart is gripped by

fear the soul is frozen by inertia When

God grips the heart the soul is free to risk


Page 14

great things for his kingdom

As Joshua prepared to lead Israel into

Canaan God said ldquoDo not let this Book of

the Law depart from your mouth meditate

on it day and nightrdquo (Joshua 18) Jesus said to his followers ldquoIf you hold to my

teaching you are really my disciples Then

you will know the truth and the truth will

set you freerdquo (John 831-32)

There is a direct relationship between

courage and the Scriptures Godrsquos Word

fortifies us with the truth It gives us the

mental ammunition to do battle with the lies of Satan that threaten to make us fall

back in fear Knowing that God is with us

wherever we go gives us the courage to

resist the fear and discouragement that

Satan will undoubtedly throw in our path as we pursue Godrsquos will and walk the path of

competence character compassion and

courage Ultimately these steps of courage

when rooted in an abiding knowledge of the Word of God result in true satisfying and

abundant freedom to become all that God

made us to be

We donrsquot know exactly how God has designed you or what your destiny in his

plan may be We donrsquot know what God has

put on and in your heart but we challenge

you to reach for it No matter how improbable or impossible it appears if it is

noble right pure and in line with Godrsquos

kingdom you must stretch yourself to

reach it To do less would be tragic for you

your customers clients and coworkers for your profession and for our generationmdash

but most of all for the kingdom
