Abstract

The development of digital technology and the advancement of culture have consciously changed the economic landscape and lifestyle, including that of Christian families. The availability of easily accessible online loan services, in line with a consumerist culture reinforced by social media and digital branding narratives, has led many families to fall into debt without careful consideration. This has led to a crisis of responsibility in household financial management, impacting spiritual life and the witness of faith. Phenomena emerging in the field reveal economic pressure within families, relational conflicts, and social sanctions resulting from the burden of online loan debt. The purpose of this study is to examine the theological and ethical aspects of digital debt culture and its implications for the responsibility of Christian families. Using a qualitative method with a theological literature review approach and phenomenological analysis, it can be concluded that Christianity can understand the nature of online loans and debt culture within a theological ethical framework. This can build the moral responsibility of Christian families against the threat of consumerism. Thus, Christian ethics regarding debt culture can be actualised in the church through church financial ethics education, as the crisis of responsibility within Christian families stems from the lack of faith-based financial ethics education. Additionally, the absence of pastoral guidance on managing blessings and living simply exacerbates the issue.

Abstract

The digital era has significantly changed the existence of social and religious communities, including in the spread of dogmatic teachings that build the faith and identity of religious communities. However, digital transformation has also opened up space for the growth of religious radicalism, which is spread massively and uncontrollably through social media and digital platforms. The Church, as a religious institution, faces serious challenges in nurturing its congregation amid ideological currents that threaten the values of tolerance and diversity. The phenomenon of religious identity fragmentation, characterised by exclusivism, polarisation, and narratives of religious superiority or claims to truth, further exacerbates the potential for intra- and inter-religious conflict. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the church in shaping a tolerant theological mindset as a response to radicalism in the digital age. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study. It can be concluded that Christianity can understand the nature of the digital age and the narrative of religious radicalism, as the digital age has become a new space for the rapid spread of religious radicalism narratives through social media and online platforms. This situation exacerbates the fragmentation of religious identity, where believers become increasingly polarised. Therefore, the church has a responsibility to shape a tolerant theological reasoning that can embrace differences and restore the integrity of faith identity amid the challenges of the digital age.

Abstract

Christian leaders often fail to recognize the importance of good communication skills in this digital era to build a trustworthy, strong ministry. That is why conflicts and even divisions often occur. The purpose of this study is to determine the urgency of good communication skills in the digital era in Christian leadership to build trust in the ministry team. This qualitative research uses a literature study method by applying three data analysis steps presented by Santana. The results of the study illustrate that a leader must pay attention to good communication aspects in the digital era, such as humanistic, persuasive communication, easy-to-understand language style, respecting and honoring and providing adequate responses, seeking direct face-to-face interaction, and so on. Thus, it will encourage the creation and development of commitment and cooperation within the ministry team, which will have an impact on performance and the level of satisfaction with the performance and services provided to the congregation. AbstrakPemimpin Kristen sering kurang menyadari pentingnya kemampuan komunikasi yang baik di era digital ini untuk membangun kepercayaan tim pelayanan yang solid. Itu sebabnya sering terjadinya konflik dan bahkan perpecahan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui urgensi kemampuan komunikasi yang baik di era digital dalam kepemimpinan Kristen untuk membangun kepercayaan tim pelayanan. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan menerapkan tiga langkah analisis data yang disampaikan Santana. Hasil penelitian memberi gambaran bahwa seorang pemimpin harus memperhatikan aspek-aspek komunikasi yang baik di era digital seperti komunikasi yang humanis, persuasif, gaya bahasa yang mudah dimengerti, menghargai dan menghormati serta memberikan respons yang memadai, mengupayakan interaksi langsung tatap muka, dan lain sebagainya. Dengan demikian akan mendorong tercipta dan terbangunnya komitmen dan kerja sama di dalam tim pelayanan yang berdampak pada kinerja dan tingkat kepuasan terhadap kinerja dan pelayanan yang diberikan kepada jemaat.

Abstract

This study examines the theological discourse surrounding grace and the Torah, a subject that has generated considerable debate among contemporary Christian communities. A prevalent view asserts that the grace made available through the death of Jesus Christ renders the Torah obsolete, thereby releasing Christians from its observance. In contrast, another perspective upholds the continued relevance of the Torah, particularly the Ten Commandments, as a moral and spiritual foundation. This ongoing debate underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between grace and the Torah in the context of Christian life today. Accordingly, the objective of this research is to investigate the potential harmonisation between grace and the Torah within contemporary Christian practice. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study utilises a literature review method, drawing primarily on biblical texts and supplemented by relevant peer-reviewed scholarly sources. The findings suggest that grace and the Torah need not be viewed in opposition, but rather as complementary aspects of Christian ethics and spirituality. From both philosophical and moral perspectives, the study affirms that Christians—whether they emphasise divine grace or Torah observance—are equally called to embody a life of moral integrity and ethical responsibility.

Abstract

This article investigates the missions of Progressive Christian organizations that seek to construct a better system than the one that existed previously through humanism and modernist approaches, as well as reinterpreting Biblical passages. Progressive Christians believe that their eight missions have the potential to influence many aspects of society. Compared to the Christian approach, which is deemed too judgmental and authoritative. The research is qualitative in nature and employs the library research method or library study, which entails collecting data from books, dictionaries, journal articles, periodicals, and so on. Data collecting revealed at least five inconsistencies in Progressive Christian missions. Aside from inconsistencies, progressive Christian missions undermine the Bible's absolute and final authority. The findings indicate that the eight Progressive Christian missions are unsystematic, theologically weak, and ideologically poor. Artikel ini mengkaji misi-misi kelompok Kristen Progresif yang bertujuan membentuk tatanan yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya melalui pendekatan humanis, modernist, dan tafsir ulang teks-teks Alkitab. Kristen Progresif memandang kedelapan misi mereka akan mampu mentransformasi banyak bidang kehidupan di tengah masyarakat. dibandingkan pendekatan Kristen yang dinilai terlalu menghakimi dan otoriter. Penelitian bersifat kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode library research atau studi pustaka, yakni pengumpulan data melalui buku, kamus, artikel jurnal, majalah, dan lain sebagainya. Melalui pengumpulan data ditemukan minimal lima inkonsistensi di dalam misi-misi Kristen Progresif. Selain inkonsistensi, misi-misi Kristen Progresif juga menginjak otoritas Alkitab yang mutlak dan final. Berdasarkan hasil temuan dapat disimpulkan bahwa kedelapan misi Kristen Progresif tidak sistematis, lemah secara teologis, dan illogical.

Abstract

This research discusses Christian meditation as a solution for Gen Z's mental health and spirituality enhancement in the digital age. In Christian circles, meditation is often viewed negatively as it is thought to be associated with mystical practices or New Age groups. However, Christian meditation, which has its roots in Jewish tradition, aims to establish communication with God through contemplation of the Bible. Gen Z, who are prone to mental disorders and spiritual crises, face challenges in the digital age. This study aims to reveal how Christian meditation can help improve their mental health and deepen their spirituality. The method used is a qualitative approach with literature analysis and case studies related to Christian meditation, mental health, and the development of Gen Z's spirituality. It can be concluded that digital technology has a significant impact on Gen Z's mental health, including increased anxiety, stress, and decreased quality of life. In the face of such pressures, Christian meditation, offers a spiritual solution that fosters inner peace and a deeper connection with God. Therefore, churches and Christian communities need to integrate Christian meditation as a means of mental recovery and strengthening Gen Z's spirituality in the digital age.AbstrakGenerasi Z menghadapi tantangan serius dalam kesehatan mental dan spiritualitas di era digital, termasuk meningkatnya kecemasan, stres, dan krisis identitas rohani. Di sisi lain, meditasi Kristiani sering dipandang negatif karena dianggap berkaitan dengan praktik mistis atau gerakan New Age. Padahal, meditasi Kristiani berakar dari tradisi Yahudi dan bertujuan membangun relasi dengan Allah melalui perenungan Kitab Suci.  Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis literatur dan studi kasus terkait meditasi Kristen, kesehatan mental, serta perkembangan spiritualitas Gen Z. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknologi digital memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap kesehatan mental Gen Z, termasuk meningkatnya kecemasan, stres, dan penurunan kualitas hidup. Dalam menghadapi tekanan tersebut, meditasi Kristen,  menawarkan solusi rohani yang menumbuhkan kedamaian batin dan hubungan yang lebih dalam dengan Tuhan. Oleh karena itu, gereja dan komunitas Kristen perlu mengintegrasikan meditasi Kristiani sebagai sarana pemulihan mental dan penguatan spiritualitas Gen Z di era digital.
