Abstract

The author identifies several related problems in this scientific work. These problems are evident from the points that have been compiled as follows: First, there are indications that some Christians themselves think that evangelism is only a social activity or just a good life behaviour in society. Second, there are indications that most of our evangelism is direct evangelism. Third, there are indications that not all Christians are passionate about sharing the gospel. The author sees the danger in contextualization: “If contextualization is not carried out, theology will not be relevant; and the same danger is that if contextualization is carried out too vigorously, compromise and syncretism will occur. It is hoped that this research can be input for Christian educators, pastors, and elderly congregations to implement an evangelistic lifestyle under 1 Corinthians 9:1-27 and call the churches to follow him as he followed Christ. Furthermore, it is hoped that this research can be input for Christian educators, pastors, and elderly congregations in implementing an evangelistic lifestyle.

Abstract

Every follower of the Lord Jesus is commanded by the Great Commission to go and make followers of Jesus in every nation. Evangelism on a mandate is what this is. However, a large number of God's churches or followers are not committed to executing the evangelistic mandate, which is God's plan to lead everyone to faith in Jesus. Even when discussing evangelism, it seems to be a tough and unpleasant endeavor; it has been demonstrated that evangelical sermons or seminars are not well received; some even contend that evangelism is solely the responsibility of pastors and other members of the clergy. This essay aims to clarify the significance of the great commission in relation to Christians' participation in the effort to plant a new church. The author writes descriptive prose using this technique. The goal of this paper is to: First, emphasize the value of evangelism in local churches; Second, emphasize the significance of every believer's involvement in starting a new church; and Third, encourage every youth to have a clear vision to always be consistent in the church of GKI Indonesia

Abstract

Bukit Siguntang is an important piece of evidence of the historical heritage of the Srivijaya Kingdom in Palembang. It is estimated to have originated in the 6th century AD. Although the system of Palembang society has changed from Buddhist society to Islamic society since the development of the Palembang Sultanate, the heritage is still considered sacred by the Malay community around the site so that the existence of the historical site is preserved. However, the condition of the site is not maintained according to its function now. This study aimed to analyse changes in the meaning of the site by the community and government and its impact on the site damage. This study used a qualitative method with a historical approach. The results of the study showed that there was a change in the meaning of the Bukit Siguntang site between the government and the community, so that there was a struggle for space utilization between the government and groups of activists to rescue the historical heritage. The local government interpreted the site as a tourism asset that had to be "sold", while the activists interpreted it as a historical heritage that had to be rescued since it kept the collective memory of the Malay nation. This resulted in different approach in utilizing the site. Since the 1980s, the government has emphasized a development approach for the people's welfare, while historical activist groups have viewed the government's actions as destroying historical heritage considered sacred by the community. Due to these differences, conflicts between the government and the community activists of the Malay heritage often occur. It is hoped that the conditions there can be returned to their original state even though they are no longer original

Abstract

This article examines the salvation concept in the Lumen Gentium document. The concept of salvation in the Christian tradition is based not only on the cross but also on the Lumen Gentium document, which guarantees safety for adherents of religions other than Christianity. This article aims to explain the doctrine of Christian Salvation through the Lumen Gentium document, analyze the debates and variations of views that exist in Christian theology regarding the fate of adherents of other religions, and look at the responses of Christian churches and theologians to these challenges and dilemmas about the fate of others. The approach used in writing this article is an analysis of the literature, which involves the study of theology, the study of ecclesiastical documents, and the study of the views of Christian theologians on soteriology. This article reveals that soteriology emphasizes the importance of explicit faith in Christ as the only way of Salvation stated in Christian teachings. However, there are debates and various views in Christian theology regarding the fate of those who embrace other religions. Some theologians try to embrace religious diversity by arguing that Salvation can be found in other religions through the grace of God working through Christ without explicit knowledge of Him. Meanwhile, some maintain the exclusive view that faith in Christ is the only way to Salvation. Soteriology shows that faith in Christ as the work of Salvation accomplished through His death on the Cross is the core of the Christian understanding of Salvation. But in the context of the fate of others, there are various views in Christian theology. Based on this fact, the inclusivism built by the Lumen Gentium document seems half-hearted. Therefore a healthy theological dialogue and more profound understanding are needed to respond to this complex challenge and to promote an inclusive experience and widespread love for all human beings.

Abstract

The background study explores Portrait of Graduate Theology in Indonesia as it relates to the dilemma between serving God and your own needs, particularly in light of the increasing number of theology graduates and their employment challenges. The increase in the number of theology majors by 13% raises concerns, given that 42% of these graduates face unemployment. This situation highlights a significant gap in theological education, where the quality may not meet the job market demands. The objective research aims to understand how theological education can better prepare students for spiritual service and practical life needs. This research employs a literature review approach, examining existing theoretical frameworks and empirical data on the social dynamics surrounding theology graduates. It examines various customs, norms, and societal expectations influencing these graduates' educational experiences and career paths. The increasing number of theology graduates juxtaposed with high unemployment presents a critical challenge for theological education. By adopting holistic approaches integrating spiritual formation with practical applications, institutions can better prepare students to navigate their dual roles in serving God and fulfilling personal life needs. This alignment could ultimately reduce unemployment rates among theology graduates while enriching their contributions to society.
