Abstract

Parents are men and women who are bound by marriage and are ready to assume responsibility as the father and mother of the children they give birth to. Parents are two different individuals entering life together by bringing views, daily habits. The writer of Proverbs also emphasized to parents to use the "rod of discipline" with their children in guiding them to have faith in God. He who does not use a stick hates his children, but he who loves his children chastens them in time (Proverbs 13:24). It is also said that there is a time when children are so easily guided to know God. This time should be used by parents as soon as possible. “Behold your child as long as there is hope, but do not desire his death (Proverbs 19:18). The results of this research can be used as a theoretical basis regarding the role of parents in the growth of children's faith. The results of this research can be studied theoretically and academically by Theological Colleges and Christian researchers. In writing this thesis the researcher used qualitative research methods. And the author uses basic theories from various sources, namely: books and the Bible. From this research, it was found that parents have played a role in the growth of children's faith so that the results can be that children who experience growth in faith experience spiritual formation and the children provide themselves to be involved in service at the local church.

Abstract

Abstract This study discusses the importance of religious policy in creating harmony between religious communities in the context of plural society in Indonesia. As a country rich in cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity, Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining social harmony. Although the 1945 Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, the implementation of policies often does not provide fair treatment, especially for minority groups. Through a qualitative approach that relies on literature reviews, statistical data, and interviews with stakeholders, this study highlights the importance of the role of Pancasila as the foundation of the state in building harmony. Pancasila contains universal values ​​that encourage respect for differences and the need to create inclusive and fair policies. This study also identifies challenges in the implementation of religious policies, including the emergence of discrimination and resistance from certain groups. It is emphasized that interfaith dialogue and education on harmony are very important in fostering a tolerant attitude. In order to achieve this goal, collaboration between the government, religious institutions, and civil society needs to be strengthened. Overall, the results of the study show that through fair policies and active community participation, a harmonious environment can be created, where every individual is valued and recognized regardless of religious background

Abstract

This article explores the reality of human trafficking in the Batam and Riau Islands region, one of Indonesia’s primary trafficking hotspots due to its strategic location as a gateway to neighboring countries. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research investigates the awareness and role of local churches in responding to this phenomenon. The findings reveal that many churches remain unaware of the theological connection between faith and social responsibility toward trafficking victims. However, some churches have begun transforming into liberating communities through ministries of restoration and advocacy. This study recommends a transformative diakonia approach and liberation theology as frameworks for the church to act as an agent of social justice in a world marked by oppression.

Abstract

This study aims to explore discipleship in the younger generation finding their true identity in Christ in today's digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study involved young people and young adults who are active in church communities. In this case, the younger generation in searching for identity in the digital era, finding true identity in Christ through discipleship requires the development of a discipleship approach that is responsive to complex social and digital dynamics. By integrating technology and interactive learning methods, discipleship can increase the relevance and effectiveness of programs offered to the younger generation. Through proper guidance, discipleship not only helps individuals recognize their identity in faith but also equips them with the skills and beliefs to contribute positively to society. The results of the study indicate that discipleship functions as a process of spiritual learning and in-depth character building, which strengthens the values ​​of love, sacrifice, and commitment to the teachings of Christ. Through interactions in discipleship groups, young people are empowered to share hopes and challenges, strengthen a sense of solidarity, and discuss issues that are relevant to their lives. Thus, discipleship becomes a vital tool in forming a strong identity and guiding young people towards a meaningful life in line with their calling of faith.
