Abstract

Inquiry approach to learning is one of the result of the paradigm shifts in education which had started in the early 1980. In spite of the bebefits of the inquiry approach to learning, many teachers/educators who apply teacher-centered learning are reluctant to apply it in their classrooms. They prefer to teaching using the lecturing method instead. The inquiry approach to learning is more beneficial to students than the lecturing method. Formerly the inquiry approach was only applied in natural science classes, but later on and up to now. It has been used in social science classes as well. Religion in classified as a branch of social studies, thus the inquiry approach to learning can also be used in Christian Education clasess. Based on the argument in this articles, the writer aim to show that applying the inquiry approach to learning in the Christian education classroom will give benefits to students as their performences will be improved and most of all. They will change from passive disinterested learners to active self motivated and self directed learners. As a result, the students will have deeper understanding about anything to discussed.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the extent to which the apostle Paul's exhortation on living in love, as written in Romans 12:9–21, is implemented among the youth of the Sungai Yordan Church, Jemaat Segala Bangsa, Nanga Pinoh, Melawi, West Kalimantan. A life rooted in love is reflected through doing good and serving others. Although the majority of the youth demonstrate growth in love through caring attitudes and mutual assistance, interview findings reveal the presence of behaviours contrary to the values of love, such as theft, harbouring resentment, conflict, and bullying. These indicate the need for continuous teaching on the principles of love. This research employs a quantitative approach, with data collected using a Likert scale and analysed through SPSS 25. Validity, reliability, and normality tests were conducted, along with hypothesis testing using the Confidence Interval formula and regression significance test (F reg) at a 5% significance level. The results show that the implementation of Paul's exhortation is categorised as high, with a Confidence Interval ranging from 129.6831 to 133.4955. The most dominant dimension in the implementation of love is "Serving Others" (D2), contributing 91.9%, while the dimension of "Doing Good" (D1) contributes 85.2%. These findings underscore the importance of reinforcing the values of service and kindness in the spiritual development of the church’s youth.

Abstract

Love is a fundamental principle in Christian life that should be expressed concretely within the church community. In practice, however, this teaching is not always fully internalized by believers. This study aims to examine the level of implementation of the Apostle Paul’s teaching on mutual love based on Romans 12:9–21 and to identify the most dominant contributing dimension among the congregation of Gereja Bethel Indonesia Sungai Yordan Telogah, Sanggau, West Kalimantan. Employing a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 26 respondents using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results indicate that the implementation of mutual love is categorized as moderate. Regression analysis shows that the dimension of loving without demanding retaliation has the strongest influence, contributing 92.2% to the overall implementation, exceeding the dimension of brotherly love. This finding suggests that forgiveness-oriented love plays a central role in shaping congregational life. The study concludes that sustained pastoral teaching is necessary to deepen the internalization of Paul’s ethical teaching as a consistent spiritual character within the church.
