Abstract

Taxes are essential to the operation of the state because, in addition to serving as the primary source of funding, they serve a number of important purposes that promote communal welfare and development. Providing the state with the money it needs to pay various government and development initiatives is the primary goal of taxes. The state can fund social services, education, health care, and infrastructure development—all of which are critical to the welfare of the populace—through taxation. Taxes also serve as a tool for establishing social fairness. The state can provide advantages to the less fortunate and distribute income more fairly by collecting taxes from the wealthier citizens. This makes it easier for people at all levels of society to gain from progress and lessens social and economic inequalities. The findings demonstrated that state tax revenue's ability to lower poverty rates in Indonesia through health and education programs for the poor remains low, unequal, and insufficient for people who are currently poor or have low incomes. In terms of education, the dropout rate remains high, and rural communities continue to have inadequate access to health care. A comprehensive, integrated, and sustainable approach is required by the government in order to increase the impoverished population's access to health and education services in a way that is more sufficient, just, and equal

Abstract

This article examines pastoral counseling strategies for congregants whose Christian faith is weakened by sustained exposure to secular digital content. The problem is not framed as a deterministic claim that digital media directly destroys faith, but as a practical-theological concern: algorithmic personalization, secular moral imaginaries, online doubt communities, entertainment habits, and fragmented attention can reshape belief, practice, belonging, and trust in church authority. The study aims to construct a counseling model that is theologically responsible, psychologically informed, and pastorally usable in local churches. Using a conceptual qualitative design, the article synthesizes literature from digital religion studies, mediatization theory, adolescent and emerging-adult religiosity, media psychology, religious coping, and spiritually integrated counseling. The analysis identifies three main findings. First, faith degradation should be diagnosed as a layered process involving cognitive doubt, affective dryness, moral dissonance, ritual discontinuity, and communal displacement. Second, pastoral counseling must move beyond prohibition toward discerning digital habits, rebuilding spiritual attention, and restoring relational trust. Third, an integrated strategy is proposed: assessment of digital-spiritual formation, narrative and theological reconstruction, communal re-embedding, and digital rule-of-life practices. The article concludes that pastoral counseling in the digital age should function as a ministry of interpretive accompaniment rather than merely corrective instruction.

Abstract

Facing the complex diversity in Indonesia, enhancing interfaith tolerance is a significant challenge, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to evaluate the effects of integrating Christian ethics and religious moderation into Christian Religious Education (CRE) at Bethel Church Indonesia (GBI) Cilamaya, Karawang, West Java. The study involved 82 junior and senior high school students participating in a learning program designed to enhance tolerance through understanding the values of other religions and positive intergroup interactions. The methods used were pre and post-intervention surveys, along with classroom interaction observations to document changes in attitudes towards tolerance and cooperation among students from various religious backgrounds. The results show that after the program, 75% of students demonstrated increased understanding of other religious values, and observations revealed significant enhancements in group discussions and more inclusive social interactions. This research indicates that the integration of Christian ethics and religious moderation effectively fosters tolerance among students, suggesting that such an approach can contribute significantly to preparing the younger generation to live in a harmonious multicultural society.
