Abstract

This research was motivated by the situation of theological education in Indonesia, which still perpetuates traditional models of education, where learning still tends to be one-way, authoritative, and more focused on cognitive-academic development with “a rote learning approach.” This has left learners (a group of learners) alienated, marginalised, and even feeling pressured in the learning process. This condition makes it difficult to provide theological education that is hospitable and transformative in the lives of learners. Meanwhile, the Bible has shown that hospitality is an important theme in both the Old and New Testaments. God is a hospitable God and offers hospitality to his people. According to the author, hospitality also needs to be presented in theological education in Indonesia. From the theoretical framework of hospitality and theological education, the author analyses Matthew 11:28-30 to find the principles of hospitality relevant to theological education in Indonesia.  The author examines various thoughts on hospitality through a literature study. The selected text was studied using an exegetical approach and inductive interpretation. Based on the analysis, it was found that Jesus' learning environment differs from that of the Scribes. Jesus' learning environment is inclusive, liberating and collaborative. The implication is that theological education with hospitality provides a learning atmosphere that is liberating, uplifting, takes into account the uniqueness of the students, and provides a comfortable atmosphere.

Abstract

This article presents new, more specific research findings on wise life character education amid the challenges of e-commerce development. The author analyzes the perspective of 1 Corinthians 10:23 using principles of biblical interpretation.  In the context of technological development, 1 Corinthians 10:23 underscores that many things are permitted, but not all are beneficial. This creates space for reflection on how to view and use technology, particularly e-commerce. The results show that 1 Corinthians 10:23 provides a solid rationale for teaching wise choices in the use of technology. The verse also teaches us to avoid over-dependence. Then, the character of a wise life arises from fruitful selection and self-control. With this approach, character education can guide the younger generation to navigate the technological era responsibly, cultivate moral values, and develop strong character. Effective parental communication is essential to character education, particularly in guiding children's use of technology and in integrating moral and ethical values into their interactions with it.   Abstrak Artikel ini menyajikan temuan penelitian baru yang lebih spesifik tentang pendidikan karakter hidup bijaksana di tengah tantangan perkembangan e-commerce. Penulis menganalisis perspektif 1 Korintus 10:23 dengan menggunakan prinsip-prinsip penafsiran Alkitab. Dalam konteks perkembangan teknologi, 1 Korintus 10:23 menggarisbawahi bahwa banyak hal yang diperbolehkan, tetapi tidak semuanya bermanfaat. Hal ini menciptakan ruang untuk refleksi tentang bagaimana memandang dan menggunakan teknologi, khususnya e-commerce. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 1 Korintus 10:23 memberikan dasar pemikiran yang kuat untuk mengajarkan pilihan-pilihan yang bijak dalam penggunaan teknologi. Ayat tersebut juga mengajarkan kita untuk menghindari ketergantungan yang berlebihan. Kemudian, karakter kehidupan yang bijaksana muncul dari pilihan yang bijaksana dan pengendalian diri. Dengan pendekatan ini, pendidikan karakter dapat membimbing generasi muda untuk menavigasi era teknologi secara bertanggung jawab, menumbuhkan nilai-nilai moral, dan mengembangkan karakter yang kuat. Komunikasi orang tua yang efektif sangat penting dalam pendidikan karakter, terutama dalam membimbing penggunaan teknologi oleh anak-anak dan dalam mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai moral dan etika ke dalam interaksi mereka dengan teknologi.
