Abstract

Peter Wagner, as an expert on church growth, stated that the Apostolic church is a church that is experiencing rapid growth. This claim is made because many Apostolic churches have been built around the world. The church continued the spirit of the apostles at the time of the early church's birth. However, it is important to conduct an in-depth study regarding the realization in the field; whether a thriving Apostolic church is carrying out God's mission or the personal ambition of a charismatic church leader. This study analyzes how the church which is said to be an Apostolic church runs its organization so that it experiences significant growth. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The researcher tries to explore the phenomena and data obtained through respondents about the transformative apostolic church that was developed in the ministry of the Indonesian Bethel Church of Gatot Subroto. In conclusion, GBI Gatot Subroto is a transformative apostolic church, because of several things, such as a visionary church, senior pastors or mentor pastors as apostolic leaders, divine authority and the work of the Holy Spirit have an impact, the church as a center for leadership training and discipleship across generations implements apostolic ministry followed by other gifts/services, prioritizing mission, and focusing on the Kingdom of God.AbstrakPeter Wagner, sebagai salah satu ahli pertumbuhan gereja, menyatakan bahwa gereja Apostolik adalah gereja yang mengalami pertumbuhan secara pesat. Klaim ini disampaikan karena banyak-nya terbangun gereja-gereja beraliran Apostolik di seluruh dunia. Gereja tersebut melanjutkan semangat para rasul pada masa lahirnya gereja mula-mula. Namun, penting untuk dilakukan kajian mendalam terkait realisasi di lapangan; apakah gereja Apostolik yang berkembang menja-lankan misi Allah atau ambisi pribadi dari pemimpin gereja yang berkharismatik. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana gereja yang dikatakan sebagai gereja Apostolik menjalankan organisa-sinya, sehingga mengalami pertumbuhan yang signifikan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Peneliti berusaha mengeksplorasi fenomena dan data-data yang diperoleh melalui responden tentang gereja apostolik transformatif yang dikembangkan dalam pelayanan Gereja Bethel Indonesia Gatot Subroto. Kesimpu-lannya, GBI Gatot Subroto adalah gereja apostolik transformatif, karena beberapa hal, seperti: gereja yang visioner, gembala senior atau gembala pembina sebagai pemimpin kerasulan, otoritas Ilahi dan pekerjaan Roh Kudus berdampak, gereja sebagai pusat pelatihan kepemimpinan dan pemuridan lintas generasi, menerap-kan jawatan rasuli diikuti karunia-karunia/jawatan lainnya, memprioritaskan misi, dan berfokus pada Kerajaan Allah.

Abstract

Children are in the most vulnerable position to experience injustice, neglect, suffering, and violence. Corporal punishment is a form of physical discipline, such as whipping or hitting, considered acceptable as a punishment for transgressions. Many religious figures, parents, and teachers justify this form of discipline, viewing it as a right of authority, sanctioned by the Book of Proverbs. Certain verses in the Book of Proverbs (e.g., Prov. 10:13; 13:24; 14:3; 23:13-14; 26:3) appear to legitimize education through violence on children. This stance appears to contradict research findings over the decades, stating that physical punishment yields more harm than good. This article attempts to revisit the verses on child violence in the Book of Proverbs using a psychological lens in pastoral counseling studies. Employing inductive reasoning and hermeneutics, it will be shown that corporal punishment verses in the Book of Proverbs fundamentally have a cultural context of their time and should be approached with caution in contemporary application. This is also due to psychological studies indicating that violence towards children, possibly intended as a form of education, leads to negative effects on their psychological development. Thus, the research thesis statement is that texts on child violence in the Book of Proverbs, when viewed through a psychological lens in pastoral counseling, necessitate a reevaluation of how parents educate children without violence.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of intercessory prayer, as outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14, as a transformative strategy for advancing Supiori Regency, recognized as the "Island of the Gospel." Intercessory prayer, which emphasizes humility, seeking God, and collective repentance, is pivotal in addressing the region's social, economic, and spiritual challenges. With a poverty rate nearing 40%, the integration of spiritual transformation through intercessory prayer with local cultural values—such as respect, unity, and mutual cooperation—serves as a foundation for fostering social harmony and community well-being. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study utilizes theological hermeneutic analysis to assess the implementation of Gospel principles in societal governance and administration. The findings reveal that intercessory prayer functions as a catalyst for restoring spiritual connections with God while simultaneously strengthening social solidarity. Moreover, intercessory prayer provides a framework for local leaders to develop policies grounded in justice and communal welfare. The integration of prayer practices with cultural values presents a model for spiritual and social transformation applicable to other regions, aligning with Supiori's vision of becoming a harmonious, inclusive, and empowered society.
