Abstract

The nature of religion which refers to etymological studies clearly aims so that human life is not chaotic, so it is not surprising that all religions teach goodness. Only the lofty ideals of each religion cannot be adequately implemented among the grassroots so that it is presented precisely as violence and intolerance between adherents of one religion with another religion. Abuse in the name of religion occurs and becomes the beginning of the legitimacy of acts of violence in the cloak of religion. Reconciliation efforts are the church’s responsibility because the church has significant power in society and the church becomes a representation of God that brings the mandate and spirit of reconciliation to the world. The church is also the holder of the baton of Jesus' ministry on earth. In the historical reality of human life, Jesus is the only one who can do good and right throughout His life. The angel called him "Holy, Son of God" (Luk. 1:35), which is confirmed in Hebrews 4:15 "...but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” While other humans are only able to implement the bad, or the combination of good and evil, because of human sinfulness. Only by faith in Jesus is a man justified and put before God. Through the power of the Holy Spirit that exists within believers, a wrong thread can be decided and enabled to live life as a new creation, that is, as children of God. The study aims to look at the extent of the church's role in preparing congregation spirituality within the framework of religious moderation, and at the same time reconcile congregations who experience intimidation. The method used in this study was a mix-method, where for some parts that need enrichment, structured interviews were carried out, but in the general part, generalizations were carried out as a result of quantitative data. The respondents in the study numbered 30 people from churches in potentially intolerant areas. In the results of the data with SPSS, it is known that the church’s role in cultivating a system of values, spiritual principles, and a solid theological foundation for the congregation influenced religious moderation by 89.3%, while other factors influence the other 10.7%. Further, it is shown that only 30% of respondents feel equipped with the content of religious moderation in a structured and "prepared" spiritually in case of clashes/friction with other religious people.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the internalization of love as an effort to suppress the procrastination of teachers of Christian education. Christian education in the New Testament is a pivoted education on the Great Teacher of Jesus Christ. It is a Divine and human effort that has existed for a long time and continues to undergo changes in which it contains philosophical and theological content whose function produces life changes that draw one closer to establishing a relationship with God. This research was conducted using quantitative approaches with descriptive methods of correlation. The population distribution in this study was teachers of Christian education in North Sumatera, represented by 42 respondents as a sample (N=42). The sampling technique used was random sampling and be analyzed with simple regression analysis. The correlation that occurs between the two variables is 0.614. It appears that the effect of the effort to internalize love on Suppressing Procrastination is 37,7%, while the other 62,3% is influenced by other factors. The process of internalization which is an embodiment of spirituality has a positive influence, which can overcome the inability to encourage yourself to make a duty to be done. It is suggested subsequent studies regarding the theme in the larger populations and finding another form of internalization to confirm and develop the results of this research.

Abstract

Flexing becomes a phenomenon that threatens the morality of the younger generation of Christians in this disruption era. The question that then arises is, this is just a common phenomenon, or is it the form of failure of Christian parents to shape the child's personality? In Christian education in the family sphere, learning is emphasized on developing the potential of spiritual intelli-gence (psychiatric or spiritual and inner). The family is the right place for the growth of awareness of the beginning of the purpose and existence of life. It is the responsibility of the family to ensure that a child develops and grows into a good adult human being and can take care of himself, and not depend on others. The formation of personality at an early age is something that must be fulfilled and cannot be delayed. It is said that approximately 85% of basic human personalities are formed at the age of 0-6 years, and the rest are just polishing. This study aims to prove how much influence character cultivation by parents has on the potential flexing in children. The approach used in this study is quantitative, with a sample of 100 children. The results of data collection are analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS 23.0. The results of the study proved that the cultivation of personality by parents affected the flexing potential of children by 69%, while 31% was influenced by other factors. Further findings in this study, the formation of behavior in a planned, systematic, and targeted manner was shown to be able to reduce the potential for flexing by 73% in children. As a contribution to this study, it is recommended to parents instill humility, meek, patience, love, and peace in children from an early age. This has been shown to be able to ward off flexing which is a negative effect of the disruption era.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Christian ethics and the concept of green digitalization in environmental conservation efforts as part of the cultural mandate in the Book of Genesis. In Christian tradition, the interpretation of these verses has evolved from a view of dominion to one of responsible stewardship over nature. While previous literature has addressed Christian environmental ethics and green digitalization separately, this research aims to bridge that gap by combining Christian ethical principles, such as stewardship and ecological justice, with environmentally friendly digital technology solutions. The research methodology includes a comprehensive analysis of theological literature and case studies on applying green technologies in various sectors. The findings reveal a significant alignment between Christian ethical principles and the goals of green digitalization, which can be leveraged to address ecological crises effectively. However, challenges such as data privacy issues, the risk of overreliance on technology, and potential digital exclusion are areas requiring further attention. The study advocates for interdisciplinary dialogue involving theologians, scientists, and technology practitioners to develop a robust ethical framework.   Abstrak Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi integrasi antara etika Kristen dan konsep green digitalisasi dalam upaya pelestarian lingkungan sebagai bagian dari mandat budaya yang diungkapkan dalam Kitab Kejadian. Dalam tradisi Kristen, interpretasi terhadap ayat-ayat ini telah berkembang dari pandangan dominasi menuju pengelolaan yang bertanggung jawab terhadap alam. Sementara literatur sebelumnya telah membahas etika lingkungan Kristen dan green digitalisasi secara terpisah, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjembatani kesenjangan tersebut dengan menggabungkan prinsip-prinsip etika Kristen, seperti kepengurusan dan keadilan ekologis, dengan solusi teknologi digital yang ramah lingkungan. Metodologi penelitian ini mencakup analisis literatur teologis dan studi kasus pada penerapan teknologi ramah lingkungan di sektor-sektor tertentu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya keselarasan yang signifikan antara prinsip-prinsip etika Kristen dan tujuan green digitalisasi, yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengatasi krisis ekologi secara efektif. Namun, tantangan seperti isu privasi data, risiko ketergantungan berlebihan pada teknologi, dan potensi eksklusi digital juga diidentifikasi sebagai area yang membutuhkan perhatian lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini menyarankan perlunya dialog interdisipliner yang melibatkan teolog, ilmuwan, dan praktisi teknologi untuk membangun kerangka etis yang kuat.
