Abstract

The hustle culture phenomenon in modern society reflects a significant shift in life orientation, where success and productivity become the primary sources of identity and meaning. Therefore, this study aims to analyze hustle culture as a form of contemporary idolatry from the perspective of Old Testament theology and affirm its relevance to today's faith life. This research is important because it provides a critical theological framework for reading modern social phenomena that are often considered neutral but actually contain profound spiritual implications. The method used is a qualitative approach through the study of literature with theological-biblical analysis of key texts, especially Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 8:17–18, and supported by contemporary theological literature. The main argument of this study states that hustle culture is a form of modern idolatry that is non-material, where success and career function as "gods" that demand total loyalty and devotion, thus shifting the orientation of faith from God to human achievement. The results of the study show that the concept of idols in the Old Testament was not limited to physical objects but included everything that took over God's position in the human heart. Thus, hustle culture can be understood as a manifestation of idolatry in a new form that is structural and cultural. This study concludes that critical theological reflection is needed to reframe the orientation of human life to be centered on God as the primary source of identity, meaning, and hope.

Abstract

From a review of previous research on global reactions to food crises, most studies have focused on economic aspects. This review identified the following gaps: (1) There is no study discussing the synergy between the church and the government in addressing food crises; (2) No research is available on the role and social anticipation of communities in the context of food crises. This research is urgently needed because synergy between the government and the church is crucial in the context of food security in North Sulawesi. The objective of this research is to fill this research gap through a holistic and comprehensive approach to the synergy between the Provincial Government of North Sulawesi and the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa in anticipating the global food crisis by enhancing farming and livestock activities in North Sulawesi. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative design through content analysis combined with a missiology analysis approach of the church. Data collection was carried out using participatory observation, interviews, and literature studies.  The novelty of this research includes: (1) The synergy between the Provincial Government of North Sulawesi and the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa in responding to and anticipating the global food crisis; (2) The combination of content analysis methods with church missiology analysis as a new approach. The output of this research is a conceptual framework and a strong missiological approach strategy in building and optimizing relevant and effective synergy.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the role of worship as a medium for dialogue between religious communities, focusing on a missiological perspective. Highlighted issues include the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the role of worship in promoting interfaith dialogue and the scarcity of research specifically linking worship with a missiological approach. This gap needs to be addressed. The research method used is a qualitative approach, conducting a comprehensive literature review on worship, interfaith dialogue, and missiology theory. The results of this study are expected to provide a better understanding of worship's role in facilitating interfaith dialogue. This research is also anticipated to contribute new insights to the field of missiology by exploring how worship can be a powerful tool for the church in fostering understanding and cooperation between different religious communities. The conclusion provides practical recommendations for church leaders, religious figures, and missiology practitioners to use worship as an effective medium for dialogue. By promoting interfaith dialogue through worship, it is hoped to strengthen tolerance, mutual understanding, and cooperation among religious communities, building harmony and peace in a pluralistic society. Ultimately, the goal is to create greater awareness of the importance of respecting religious differences and promoting cooperation through inclusive and dialogical worship practices.

Abstract

This article examines the mission of the church within the context of religious and cultural pluralism in Indonesia by emphasizing interfaith dialogue as a relevant and contextual form of Christian witness. In a plural society vulnerable to identity-based conflicts and intolerance, the church is called to engage in mission not through exclusive or confrontational approaches, but through dialogical practices that respect human dignity and religious diversity. Grounded in the paradigm of Missio Dei, this study affirms that mission is the church’s participation in God’s ongoing work of love, justice, and reconciliation in the world. Through theological and biblical reflection, interfaith dialogue is understood not as syncretism or theological compromise, but as a faithful and incarnational expression of gospel witness. The article demonstrates that interfaith dialogue has strong biblical foundations and offers significant implications for contemporary churches, particularly in fostering interreligious relationships, social engagement, and transformative presence within Indonesia’s plural society.

Abstract

This paper explores the meaning of the idea of a healthy family to members of GMIM Damai Belang Atep, as well as how that idea is played out in biblical view, and the things that promote or inhibit it in a Minahasan context. In response to the normative discourses of Christian families in Indonesian theology, this study follows an exploratory qualitative research design with a phenomenological orientation. Semi-structured interviews with a purposely chosen sample of families and special office-bearers were used to collect data, which were analyzed with the help of thematic analysis and contextual theological reflection. The results indicate that congregants identify proper families in terms of relationships and Christ-centered ways. Mutual love and respect, common spiritual disciplines, equal emphasis on spiritual, emotional, and practical needs, and the deliberate impartation of biblical values to children are all related to family health. These beliefs are reflected in everyday activities, family worship, shared prayer, eating together, helping others, and spiritually oriented ways of resolving conflicts, which emphasize calm speaking, controlling oneself, forgiving, and praying. Concurrently, families are experiencing problems such as financial strain, family time, screen addiction, and value system clashes in the external world. The cultural values of Minahasan, most notably mapalus, kinship, and solidarity, are revealed as social capital that can be used to support biblical ideals, although some of the characteristics should be discerned. This paper suggests a contextual model of a healthy family and the necessity of the church to supplement doctrinal teaching with pastoral accompaniment based on families.

Abstract

This study examines how the Christian book, the Buku Renungan Harian Keluarga (RHK), influenced the formation of faith among the members of GMIM Baitel Eris in the Tandengan District. Set in the context of the overall discussion on Protestant spiritual formation and family worship, the study deals with the current application of RHK in home worship, its perception by congregants, and its contribution to spiritual development and family life. Data were collected using a qualitative case study design, where semi-structured interviews with adult congregants, parents, youth, Sunday school teachers, column leaders, and office-bearers of the church were used, supplemented by participatory observations during family and sectoral worship venues and document analysis of RHK editions and church records. Thematic data analysis was conducted in accordance with the steps of data analysis presented by Braun and Clarke. The results indicate that RHK is more strongly integrated into GMIM Baitel Eris' daily piety, and thus, it is a domestic liturgical script that reflects congregational worship. The devotional reflection part is the experience that is found to be the most valuable, as it connects Scripture and everyday life. According to the respondents, they experienced improved spiritual knowledge, increased intimacy with God, self-character development, and improved family relations. The first barrier to regular use was busyness, and the digital formats and proposed interactive features are hints of what needs to be changed in the future. The paper concludes that Christian books continue to play a crucial role in the formation of faith in local GMIM settings and makes pastoral suggestions to support and revitalise the practices of family-oriented devotion in the face of modern-day social and technological transformation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the narrative of the healing of a man born blind in John 9:1–41, focusing on its implications for the church’s mission in developing an inclusive paradigm toward persons with disabilities. In many religious and social traditions, disability has often been associated with sin or a curse, which has led to stigma and exclusion. In contrast, the Johannine narrative presents Jesus rejecting such assumptions, restoring the man’s sight, and reinstating his dignity as a member of the community. Using a qualitative hermeneutical and narrative-critical approach, supported by literature from biblical commentaries, journals, and books, this paper argues that Jesus’ action was not merely a miraculous healing but also a theological statement that dismantles social stigma, affirms the value of every individual before God, and models a holistic church mission. The study concludes that the contemporary church must move beyond mere charitable aid toward unconditional acceptance, restoration of dignity, and empowerment of persons with disabilities, thereby creating an inclusive and transformative faith community

Abstract

Patchouli oil distillation activities in Lansot Village, Tomohon City, have generated serious ecological problems, including water pollution caused by the disposal of distillation waste near residential wells, air pollution from fuel combustion, and machine noise that disturbs public health and comfort. These conditions reflect low ecological awareness and the absence of adequate waste-management regulations and technology. This study aims to develop an ecotheological perspective for patchouli farmers in sustainable waste management based on the concepts of relational ontology and theocentric stewardship by Jorgenson and Padgett. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through field observation and in-depth interviews with farmers, affected residents, and local government. The findings show that waste problems are not merely technical but rooted in limited ecological education and social tensions reinforced by close kinship ties, which discourage public protest. The study concludes that integrating Christian faith values through ecological discipleship and collaboration between church, government, and farming communities can enable just, participatory, and sustainable waste management.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas inkarnasi misi Allah (Missio Dei) dalam konteks ruang digital sebagai bentuk keterlibatan gereja di tengah pluralitas sosial-budaya dan tantangan etika komunikasi modern. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menelaah bagaimana digitalisasi dapat menjadi arena misi inkarnasional yang menghadirkan kasih, keadilan, dan perdamaian Allah secara relevan dalam masyarakat majemuk. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui metode etnografi digital, penelitian ini mengamati praktik dan interaksi iman di ruang virtual seperti media sosial, ibadah daring, dan komunitas digital gerejawi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa digitalisasi bukan sekadar sarana komunikasi, melainkan medium teologis yang memperluas ruang kesaksian iman dan memperkuat solidaritas lintas budaya dan agama. Gereja dipanggil untuk berpartisipasi aktif dalam Missio Dei di dunia digital dengan memperhatikan prinsip-prinsip etika digital: responsibility, authenticity, dan relationality sebagai wujud spiritualitas kasih dan penghormatan terhadap martabat manusia. Ruang digital terbukti menjadi arena teologis baru di mana iman ditafsirkan ulang secara dialogis, partisipatif, dan kontekstual. Dengan demikian, inkarnasi misi Allah di era digital menegaskan panggilan gereja untuk menghadirkan wajah Kristus yang penuh kasih, adil, dan inklusif di tengah perubahan global yang terus berkembang.
