Abstract

The Holy Communion is one of two sacraments recognized by the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor.  In order for congregations to take part in the Holy Communion feast, GMIT sets conditions or criteria, one of which is that congregations whose status is temporarily subject to church discipline cannot participate in Holy Communion.  This provision is not excessive because GMIT is a Calvinist church which in principle enforces discipline.  This article is intended to take a closer look at how church discipline is implemented before the Holy Communion is held.  To be able to complete this manuscript, the author used a library study approach in which the topic discussed by the author was discussed.  In the end, through this article, readers, especially the GMIT congregation, can be educated in understanding what Holy Communion is, the importance of church discipline as a moment to evaluate oneself before participating in Holy Communion.

Abstract

To support all its service activities, the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor has established five ministries to become instruments for GMIT to determine programs that can touch the congregation's struggles. This is important because GMIT is struggling with many humanitarian issues such as poverty, human trafficking, problematic climate and nature and many other problems. In carrying out this task, the church must be fair and act correctly so that the entire series of services is not biased. This task is framed upon Micah 6:8. Therefore, it can be said that this article is the result of an elaboration between text interpretation and a social theological approach which shows the practical side of the biblical text used as a reference. The conclusion of this article is that it can serve as material for reflection for GMIT in carrying out all its service activities while remaining faithful to the Bible, and full of justice, faithfulness and humility.

Abstract

There are at least three major realities that should be highlighted when entering the 21st century, including digitalization that is growing rapidly, humanization that is starting to be intensified, and the intensity of religion fortifying its people in warding off the dangers of technological progress and humanization that has the potential to damage the lives of religious people. Digitalization creates an opium for humans while humanization gives birth to the understanding that humans can live without God. For this, religion must be able to be a filter for the spread of digitalization and humanization and contribute to real contributions. In its development, there are obstacles that the church encountered when it began to try to instill critical values on these two phenomena. The church was later accused of being an institution that restrained its congregation. Consider Nietzsche's thesis that he fought persistently to convince religious people that man occupies a position above religion and all forms of understanding that make human space limited. Man must become a complete man, transcending all existing orders. The term Nietzsche used was Ubermensch. This becomes a serious problem if not addressed wisely. Not after Nietzsche criticized the church, Yuval Harari appeared and confirmed the humanist position but with a note that there must be artificial intelligence that helps humans. Technology is glorified. This is where both Nietzsche and Harari come to a contrasting understanding. After all of the above is mentioned, then using the literature method, this article offers a solution that the church should be present to navigate the direction of technology and humanism. Faced with the rapid development of technology, the church stresses the need for responsible and ethical use of technology.
