Pre-theoretical and theoretical human knowledge is also discussed and taught through familiar languages ​​so that scientific structures are formed, and technology is produced for humans throughout the ages. The godly character of a Christian can be recognized by his good, holy, and holy speech. And Christians can know and knowing God through His words, communicate through prayer and praise to the Triune God, and are enabled to carry out His mandate on this earth through human language.

Abstract

The church conducts entrepreneurship for the congregation and the community as one of the fulfillment of cultural mandates. One form of church social service is congregational entrepreneurship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the pandemic has made it difficult for the congregation to meet the needs of daily life. Therefore, the church as an institutionalized individual and community is responsible for carrying out concrete social services through entrepreneurship. This research is a theological response for the church to address the pandemic conditions specifically related to entrepreneurship. This paper uses the literature study method and theological reflection approach. The results of this study are the formation and increase of entrepreneurship managed by congregations and churches in the COVID-19 pandemic area.

Abstract

Abstract: Albert Schweitzer's thoughts were formed from his childhood from home to university, related to his search for the historicity of Jesus in the Bible, theology, and philosophy. This search was formulated with Schweitzer’s fundamental thought that Jesus is a moral teacher, on an equal footing with other moral teachers. This is not entirely true, even though the descriptions of his books refer to the four Gospels and the Pauline epistles. He concentrated only on the humanity of Jesus and did not write an introduction to the divinity of Jesus. The thought that Jesus is a Moral Teacher became the basis of strength for Schweitzer to carry out missionary services in Lambarene, Africa, among people who were suffering and had not received formal education. This paper uses qualitative methods and literature studies with descriptive studies and theological reflection. It is hoped that this writing will be useful for every Christian to know Jesus in His status as the Son of God and man while at the same time encouraging a Bible-based and Christ-centered Christian Religious Education learning process and the formation of godly character to serve fellow human beings. Abstrak: Pemikiran Albert Schweitzer terbentuk sejak kecil dari rumahnya sampai ke perguruan tinggi, berkaitan pencariannya tentang kesejarahan Yesus secara biblika, teologi, dan filosofi. Pencarian itu melahirkan pemikiran mendasar bagi Schweitzer bahwa Yesus adalah Guru Moral, disejajarkan dengan guru moral lainnya. Hal itu tidak sepenuhnya benar, sekalipun uraian dari buku-bukunya merujuk pada empat kitab Injil dan Surat-Surat Paulus. Ia hanya memperhatikan kemanusiaan Yesus dan belum menuliskan pengenalannya akan keilahian Yesus. Pemikiran Yesus adalah Guru Moral menjadi dasar kekuatan bagi Schweitzer melakukan pelayanan misi di Lambarene, Afrika di antara orang-orang yang menderita dan yang belum mendapatkan pendidikan formal. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan studi Pustaka dengan kajian deskriptif dan refleksi teologis. Tulisan ini diharapkan bermanfaat bagi setiap orang Kristen untuk mengenal Yesus dalam keadaan-Nya sebagai Anak Allah dan manusia, sekaligus mendorong adanya proses pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen yang berbasiskan Alkitab, berpusatkan Kristus, dan pembentukan karakter yang saleh untuk melayani sesama manusia.

Abstract

This paper is expected to provide direction and encouragement for every disciple of Christ to realize the responsibility of carrying out evangelism and transforming culture on this earth. It is important for Disciples of Christ to understand precisely the relationship between Christ and culture, both in evangelism and in transforming culture. Because by being aware of this, a student can properly carry out evangelism to anyone in diverse cultural contexts. Cultural transformation is only possible by Disciples of Christ who have lived in Christ and are aware of their responsibilities here on earth. Cultural diversity and uniqueness will not weaken a disciple of Christ to preach the gospel properly. Instead the condition is a good opportunity to clear the purpose of the disciples of Christ called and sent by God. Because Christ's disciples not only carry out evangelization of all nations and also transform the culture of anyone who is already in His mandate

Abstract

In the context of Indonesian society, the LGBTQ community creates tensions with Christian views of the Bible's interpretation of human love and freedom. Conflicts arise between LGBTQ claims of individual freedom to express their sexual orientation and biblical teachings that emphasize moral boundaries. A strong emphasis is placed on the Christian perspective on LGBTQ issues in this paper, emphasizing the importance of understanding and applying biblical principles. Through a qualitative research method combining literature study and descriptive analysis, the arguments are developed with clarity and depth, supported by the Bible's grand narrative and specific verses. The discussion presents a comprehensive picture of the Christian view on LGBTQ, affirming that love should be shown to LGBTQ individuals without undermining the truth and will of God in the Bible. The contribution of the church in addressing this issue is emphasized, including the need to provide moral and spiritual support for individuals seeking repentance, as well as the role of the church as a place of spiritual restoration and renewal. The importance of considering biblical principles while still loving the individuals involved, thus presenting a balanced and insightful argument on the issue from a Christian perspective. Keywords: Tensions, LGBTQ Community, Christian Views, Role of the Church

Abstract

Tulisan ini menganalisis peran gereja dalam merespons individu homoseksual di Indonesia dengan fokus pada tantangan nyata yang dihadapi, seperti meningkatnya pengaruh budaya yang menerima perilaku LGBT. Penelitian ini menyoroti bagaimana gereja dapat mempertahankan kekudusan sesuai ajaran Alkitab sambil memberikan pendampingan pastoral yang efektif. Masalah utama yang diangkat adalah bagaimana gereja mengintegrasikan pengajaran teologi Reformed mengenai dosa seksual dengan praktik pastoral yang membantu individu homoseksual menjalani proses pemulihan secara spiritual dan moral. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi literatur, penelitian ini mengkaji langkah-langkah konkret yang dapat diambil gereja, seperti pengajaran yang tegas tentang dosa, pelayanan pastoral untuk pemulihan trauma, dan dukungan komunitas dalam mendorong transformasi hidup. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa gereja dapat memainkan peran signifikan dalam membimbing individu ini menuju kehidupan yang kudus melalui kombinasi kasih Kristus, disiplin gerejawi, dan kesetiaan pada prinsip teologi yang tidak dikompromikan.

Abstract

The ease of obtaining information about LGBT and becoming a ‘lifestyle’ of some people today, has raised concerns in the world of education. The understanding of gender in the name of human rights can open space for the formation of LGBT in Indonesia. This condition destroys the human concept of God's creation, which is differentiated between men and women. However, LGBT people as individuals created by God, and have fallen into sin, should not receive inhumane treatment. LGBT people need to be given a touch of ‘love’ in the form of education to bring LGBT people to the construction of God's creation. This concept needs to be understood by social science education teachers of Universitas Pelita Harapan and teachers of Elementary School of GMIM Lelema in South Minahasa Regency as the bearers of character building.  It turns out that LGBT is associated with the concept of gender and has not been properly understood. The variety of gender thinking in the social sciences about gender requires direction from Christian insights. Activities were carried out in the form of virtual face-to-face through zoom and Pre-Test and Post-Test were conducted.

Abstract

Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) di sekolah Kristen adalah sebuah kesempatan baik yang Tuhan anugerahkan untuk memperkenalkan kebenaran-Nya kepada siswa melalui pembelajaran Alkitab di kelas. Salah satu metode yang baik untuk mempelajari Alkitab secara utuh dan mendalam adalah menggunakan pendekatan Teologi Alkitabiah (Biblical Theology). Teologi Alkitabiah membangun teologi berdasarkan keterhubungan dan kesatuan kisah-kisah Alkitab sebagai kisahnya Allah yang memperkenalkan siapa Tuhan. Tujuan dari pendekatan dengan metode ini adalah: supaya pembaca Akitab dapat memahami bahwa Alkitab adalah firman Tuhan yang dinyatakan melalui kisah Tuhan yang utuh dan dapat diaplikasikan kebenarannya dalam hidup sehari-hari. Pendekatan teologi Alkitabiah tidak berdiri sendiri. Dalam penerapannya juga akan membutuhkan metode eksegese/ penggalian Alkitab yang baik. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan ini dalam pembelajaran PAK, diharapkan baik guru dan siswa sama-sama dapat mengenal Tuhan secara pribadi melalui kisah Alkitab dan bertumbuh. PKM ini diadakan untuk guru-guru PAK Sekolah Dian Harapan di seluruh Indonesia yang dilaksanakan secara daring sebanyak dua kali, masing-masing berdurasi Sembilan puluh menit. Penerapan pembelajaran PAK teologi Alkitabiah ini terkadang menjadi kendala terutama bagi guru-guru PAK non lulusan seminari dikarenakan proses penggalian menggunakan metode eksegese diperlukan pengetahuan dan keterampilan penggalian Alkitab khusus yang biasanya dipelajari di seminari. Dalam PKM ini, ditawarkan bantuan bagi guru-guru non lulusan seminari tersebut dengan pendampingan proses eksegese Alkitab menggunakan metode scaffolding dari Vygotsky oleh dosen-dosen teologi yang menguasai metode eksegese yang baik. Proses pendampingan ini berjalan dengan baik dan guru-guru non lulusan seminari sangat terbantu menjadi lebih baik dalam melakukan eksegese untuk persiapan mengajar.

Abstract

Abstract: There are many attempts that a person makes to deny the existence of God. However, these efforts are often deadlocked when dealing with facts and events in the history of mankind. De Silva, one of those who struggle to deny the existence of a God who is believed by Christians, doubts the truth of the Bible with the argument of a skeptical phenomenon. The formulation of doubts shapes one's thinking to judge and make decisions about Christian beliefs. De Silva has not explained logically the existence of the Triune God and has shifted to comparative religion. This paper is a descriptive theological response based on the integrity of Bible teaching with a literature study approach and Christian thought. This paper is also an effort to defend the Christian faith and challenge atheist thinking. Abstrak: Ada banyak upaya yang dilakukan seseorang untuk menolak eksistensi Allah. Namun upaya tersebut seringkali menemui jalan buntu ketika berhadapan dengan fakta dan peristiwa yang ada di dalam sejarah umat manusia. De Silva, salah seorang di antara mereka yang berjuang menolak eksistensi Allah yang dipercaya orang Kristen, meragukan kebenaran Alkitab dengan argumentasi fenomena skeptis. Formulasi keraguan itu membentuk pemikiran seseorang untuk menilai dan mengambil keputusan terhadap keyakinan orang Kristen. De Silva belum menjelaskan secara logis atas eksistensi Allah Tritunggal dan bergeser ke perbandingan agama. Tulisan ini merupakan tanggapan teologis yang bersifat deskripsi berdasarkan pada keutuhan pengajaran Alkitab dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan dan pemikiran Kristen. Tulisan ini juga merupakan upaya pembelaan iman Kristen dan menantang pemikiran ateis.

Abstract

The teaching of scientific theories of origins, such as the Big Bang and evolution, in primary education often creates epistemological tension with biblical teaching, particularly within Christian school contexts. In Indonesia, this tension is frequently addressed without a clear pedagogical framework that integrates faith and learning coherently. This study aims to develop a biblical–pedagogical framework for integrating the doctrine of creation (creatio ex nihilo) within Christian Religious Education (CRE) for primary students. Employing a qualitative research design through literature analysis and classroom-based case studies in Indonesian Christian primary schools, this study examines how the doctrine of creation can be taught as divine revelation rather than as a competing scientific explanation. The findings indicate that when creation is presented theologically as an act of God’s sovereign will, students engage scientific knowledge critically while maintaining biblical authority as the foundation of learning. This study proposes a biblical–pedagogical framework that positions Christian teachers as facilitators, reconcilers, and transformers in guiding students toward an integrated understanding of faith and knowledge. The framework contributes to Christian education by offering a coherent model for faith–learning integration that supports intellectual formation and spiritual growth among primary students in Indonesia.
