Abstract

Chinese Christianity faces a problem when the congregation begins to doubt the future and wants everything to be fast and instant without wanting to go through a process that feels long. This fact led Christians to turn to Shio's predictions which were nothing more than occult. This study of prediction based on Shio will try to prove that no one in the world can predict what can happen, because God himself plans and regulates everything. True Christianity relies its life on God, its fate is determined by faith and not divination. The history of Shio use in Chinese culture cannot be separated from the origin of its use as a means of making it easier to mark the year and season on the Chinese Luni-Solar calendar. This history and theology is needed for Chinese Christianity to be compatible with the gospel. Kekristenan umat Tionghoa menghadapi masalah ketika jemaat mulai ragu akan masa depan dan menginginkan segala sesuatu serba cepat dan instan tanpa ingin melewati proses yang dirasa lama. Kenyataan ini membawa orang-orang Kristen berpaling pada ramalan Shio yang tidak lebih dari okultisme. Penelitian akan ramalan berdasarkan Shio ini akan berusaha membuktikan bahwa tidak ada seorangpun di dunia ini yang dapat meramal apa yang dapat terjadi, karena Allah sendiri yang merencanakan dan mengatur segala sesuatu. Kristen sejati menyandarkan hidupnya kepada Allah, nasibnya ditentukan imannya dan bukan ramalan. Sejarah penggunaan Shio pada budaya Tionghoa tidak bisa terlepas dari asal mula pengunaannya sebagai sarana mempermudah menandai tahun dan musim pada kalender Luni-Solar bangsa China. Sejarah dan teologi ini yang diperlukan bagi Kekristenan Tionghoa agar berpadanan dengan Injil.

Abstract: This study aims to explore and understand the meaning of divine calling in the context of Christian education and identify its impact on the development of teacher dedication in carrying out teaching assignments. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach, involving analysis of various related literature sources. In the context of the Christian life, the divine calling has deep significance. Verse Jeremiah 1:5 becomes the central interpretation in this study, where divine calling refers to the special assignments given by God to individuals He calls. The call denotes a special election by God prior to the birth of the individual. Although the divine call applies to everyone, not everyone accepts or follows it. This study highlights some of the challenges faced in teachers' understanding and awareness of the meaning of divine calling in the context of Christian education. Some of the problems that arise include the teacher's lack of dedication in carrying out teaching duties, low motivation and commitment in carrying out vocations, lack of awareness of moral and ethical responsibilities as a Christian teacher, and deficiencies in self-development and skills improvement as a teacher. Data analysis reveals that understanding the meaning of divine calling can be a strong foundation in developing a teacher's dedication in carrying out teaching assignments. Teachers who are aware of the divine calling will voluntarily gain high dedication in carrying out their ministry as God's servants. The high dedication of a teacher who understands divine calling can also have a positive influence on students, motivate them in the learning process, and help them develop a deeper relationship with God.
