Abstract

Socio-economic inequality remains a major challenge in Indonesia despite various social assistance programs. Many initiatives face issues of distribution and long-term dependency. At the same time, economic equity is essential for social stability and sustainable development. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Circunomy Movement, a community-based model that integrates social assistance with local MSME empowerment through economic circulation. Circunomy involves micro-enterprise product purchases, which are redistributed as social assistance while ensuring transparency via a digital platform. Results show the participation of more than 300 MSMEs and benefits for around 1,000–1,500 individuals in Jakarta and its surroundings. The findings indicate that Circunomy is not only a mechanism of social assistance but also a tool for strengthening community-based economic equity. This bottom-up approach highlights the potential of social solidarity in achieving both social welfare and inclusive economic development.

Abstract

The national football federation (PSSI) has recently adopted a policy of naturalising foreign players as a strategic move to strengthen the national team in the face of limited local talent and the low quality of domestic competition. This policy has become a phenomenon that has sparked various discussions, from political, social, and theological perspectives. Through descriptive qualitative methods with literature studies and interviews with five Christian ethicists, this study found that naturalisation is viewed positively when carried out within the framework of love and justice and understood as a means of God's blessing. These values find their theological basis in the story of Ruth, which shows that accepting foreigners can contribute to the faith community. Thus, the naturalisation of football players is not only a legal and sporting strategy issue, but also has important ethical and theological dimensions in nation building.

Abstract

Abstract: Marriage is an important decision in life, especially in the Christian faith, and both parties must be fully involved in the decision-making process. However, parental consent is not always given, which can cause tension and conflict within the family due to differences in culture, religion, social status, or other factors. This research focuses on the issue of parental approval versus personal decisions in Christian marriage based on Biblical views. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that shape attitudes toward parental consent versus personal decisions in marriage and to explore how the Bible views this issue. The research methodology used is a library research method, which includes collecting and analyzing data from books, journals, and official websites related to Christian marriage, parental consent in marriage, and personal decisions to marry. Although the Bible does not explicitly require parental consent for marriage, it recognizes the importance of family, community, and civil authority as structures that support marriage. The novelty of this research lies in its exploration of the complex and multifaceted nature of Christian marriage, parental consent, and the personal decision to marry, as well as its contribution to the ongoing discussion of this important issue.Abstrak: Pernikahan adalah keputusan penting dalam hidup, khususnya dalam iman Kristen, dan kedua belah pihak harus terlibat penuh dalam proses pengambilan keputusan. Namun persetujuan orang tua tidak selalu diberikan sehingga dapat menimbulkan ketegangan dan konflik dalam keluarga karena perbedaan budaya, agama, status sosial, atau faktor lainnya. Penelitian ini berfokus pada persoalan persetujuan orang tua versus keputusan pribadi dalam pernikahan Kristen berdasarkan pandangan Alkitab. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang membentuk sikap terhadap persetujuan orang tua versus keputusan pribadi dalam pernikahan dan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana Alkitab memandang masalah ini. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kepustakaan, yang meliputi pengumpulan dan analisis data dari buku, jurnal, dan website resmi terkait pernikahan Kristen, persetujuan orang tua dalam pernikahan, dan keputusan pribadi untuk menikah. Meskipun Alkitab tidak secara eksplisit mewajibkan izin orang tua untuk menikah, Alkitab mengakui pentingnya keluarga, komunitas, dan otoritas sipil sebagai struktur yang mendukung pernikahan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada eksplorasinya terhadap sifat pernikahan Kristen yang kompleks dan beragam, izin orang tua, dan keputusan pribadi untuk menikah, serta kontribusinya terhadap diskusi berkelanjutan mengenai isu penting ini.

Abstract. The problem of children with special personalities should be our common concern because they also have the right to life and attention and need to grow and develop fully according to the dignity and human dignity that God has given them. As holistic creatures, they also need attention not only in terms of physiology, but also in terms of their spirituality. Children with special needs are often a burden for their parents because many parents do not understand how to educate these children, especially spiritually. The researcher in this case conducted research at the church where the researcher worships because the worship of children with special needs has started in Sunday school. The problem studied is about the follow-up of the worship of children with special needs and aims to improve the spirituality of children with special needs. The research methodology used is a qualitative method with a field survey involving direct data collection at the research location, such as through observation, interviews, and group discussions. From the research, it was found that the worship of children with special needs can improve children's spirituality and foster a sense of sociality among children with special needs. The results of the study will be applied at the Bethel Indonesia Church in Bandung. Abstrak.

Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the boundaries of freedom of expression on social media from a Christian faith perspective, considering its potential impact on relational dynamics within the Body of Christ, including the emergence of hate speech, the spread of inaccurate information, and the potential for division. This research is relevant given the need to strengthen faith-based literacy among digital generations so they can communicate ethically in digital spaces, recognizing the strategic role of the church, schools, and families in this character-forming process. The research aims to formulate Bible-based ethical principles for expression on social media, particularly drawn from James 3, Ephesians 4:29, and 1 Corinthians 6:12. The method used is qualitative library research, analyzing biblical texts and theological literature through descriptive-analytical and thematic synthesis approaches. The novelty of this study lies in formulating four concrete ethical-theological boundaries for expression in the digital world: Truth (fact-based), Love (respecting the dignity of others), Responsibility (every interaction carries moral consequences), and Purpose (glorifying God and building up fellowship). These findings are expected to serve as a guide for Christians to use social media responsibly, so that digital space can become a constructive medium for faith witness and fellowship strengthening. Abstrak Penelitian ini menyelidiki batas-batas kebebasan berekspresi di media sosial menurut iman Kristen, dengan mempertimbangkan potensi dampaknya terhadap dinamika relasi dalam Tubuh Kristus, termasuk kemunculan ujaran kebencian, penyebaran informasi tidak akurat, dan potensi perpecahan. Penelitian ini relevan dilakukan mengingat perlunya penguatan literasi iman bagi generasi digital agar mampu berkomunikasi secara etis di ruang digital, mengingat peran strategis gereja, sekolah, dan keluarga dalam proses pembentukan karakter tersebut. Tujuan penelitian adalah merumuskan prinsip-prinsip etis berbasis Alkitab untuk berekspresi di media sosial, khususnya berdasarkan Yakobus 3, Efesus 4:29, dan 1 Korintus 6:12. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian pustaka kualitatif dengan menganalisis teks Alkitab dan literatur teologi melalui pendekatan deskriptif-analitis dan sintesis tematik. Kebaruan hasil penelitian adalah perumusan empat batas etis-teologis konkret untuk berekspresi di dunia digital: Kebenaran (berbasis fakta), Kasih (menghargai martabat sesama), Tanggung Jawab (setiap interaksi memiliki konsekuensi moral), dan Tujuan (memuliakan Tuhan dan membangun persekutuan). Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi panduan bagi orang Kristen dalam memanfaatkan media sosial secara bertanggung jawab, sehingga ruang digital dapat menjadi medium yang konstruktif bagi kesaksian iman dan penguatan persekutuan.

Abstract

The generational gap between parents and children in the digital era presents new challenges in the transmission of Christian values. This study was conducted in response to differences in worldview, communication styles, ways of thinking, and levels of digital competence that may weaken the family’s function as the primary context for faith formation. The aim of this research is to formulate strategies to bridge the parent-child generational gap so that the transmission of Christian values remains relevant and effective in the digital age. This study employs a qualitative method through a literature review of reputable academic sources. The findings propose an integrative strategy that includes strengthening relational communication within the family, optimizing and regulating the use of digital media, as well as providing digital literacy training for parents in order to reduce the knowledge and skill gap with their children. Discipleship, parenting training, and pastoral counseling also emerge as essential components that can be implemented complementarily to support the faith formation process within the family. Overall, the study indicates that transmitting Christian values in the digital era requires creative, dialogical, and contextually grounded approaches, while maintaining collaborative partnership between the family and the church. Through such efforts, Christian values can be passed down in a continuous and meaningful manner across generations.

Abstract

Abstract: The focus of this writing is to examine how AI is used in preparing sermons, as there is a perception that using AI in sermon preparation diminishes the influence of the Holy Spirit when the preacher prepares their material. This topic is studied because it is still debated whether AI in homiletics has the potential to shift the central role of the Holy Spirit with technological algorithms. The main research question formulated in this article is: How can we conduct a theological review of the use of AI in sermon preparation? The findings of this study indicate that AI can speed up pastors' work in collecting data, identifying themes, and conducting linguistic analysis of biblical texts. However, the process remained within the framework of Christian theology, which places the pastor as a witness who conveys the word through spiritual experience. Therefore, the authority of preaching does not lie in AI, but in how the church integrates AI within a theological framework that places revelation, exposition, and the work of the Holy Spirit at the centre of the preaching process. Abstrak: Fokus dari tulisan ini menelaah bagaimana penggunaan AI dalam menyusun khotbah, karena ada semacam anggapan penggunaan AI dalam penyusunan materi khotbah dalam homoletika menurunkan pengaruh Roh Kudus ketika sang pengkhotbah menyusun materinya. Topik ini dikaji karena masih menjadi perdebatan bahwa AI dalam homoletika berpotensi menggeser sentral Roh Kudus, dengan algoritma teknologi. Rumusan pertanyaan penelitian utama yang diajukan dalam artikel ini bagaimana telaah teologis terhadap penggunaan AI dalam menyusun khotbah? Hasil temuan dari kajian ini menunjukkan AI dapat mempercepat kerja pendeta dalam mengumpulkan data, mengidentifikasi tema, dan melakukan analisis linguistik terhadap teks Alkitab. Akan tetapi proses itu tetap berada dalam kerangka teologi Kristen yang menempatkan pendeta sebagai saksi yang menyampaikan firman melalui pengalaman Rohani. Sebab itu, otoritas khotbah tidak terletak pada AI tetapi bagaimana gereja mengintegrasikan AI dalam kerangka teologis yang menempatkan pewahyuan, eksposisi, dan karya Roh Kudus sebagai pusat dari proses berkhotbah.

Abstract

This study examines the principle of equality in the body of Christ based on 2 Corinthians 8:13–15, particularly the idea that “no one has too little and no one has too much.” The issue is significant because socio-economic injustice and inequality remain real challenges for the contemporary church. The purpose of this research is to explore the Christian ethical meaning of the text and its implications for the praxis of today’s church. The method employed is a theological literature review and biblical exegesis with an applied ethics approach. The findings highlight a novelty that Paul’s principle is not merely a charitable teaching, but a paradigm of equity rooted in the love of Christ. This discovery is important as it reaffirms the church’s calling to embody tangible solidarity that fosters equality within the body of Christ and the wider society.
