Abstract

Culture is an integral part of human life, reflecting the capacity as creatures made in the image of God. This article explores the relationship between Christian faith and culture from theological and biblical perspectives. The discussion covers the meaning and essence of culture, the origin of culture according to the Bible, as well as challenges and issues in integrating culture and Christian faith. Additionally, this article provides a critical analysis of the relevance of the Gospel in the context of modern culture, accompanied by case studies of churches in Indonesia. By understanding culture as a redeemable blessing from God, the church has a responsibility to bring transformation to society without compromising the integrity of the Gospel.

Abstract

Every day we often hear pornographic news in the mass media, social media, TV, etc. Moreover, with the existence of Android phones, it is easy to access pornographic things, especially among teenagers. That is why there are many cases of fornication, rape due to the release of the consequences of what they watch. It is inevitable that this does not happen because it has been facilitated by cellphones for every teenager. Those who are not yet old enough to know about sex according to their age, make it too early to learn about sex. Teenagers spend more time with cellphones so that they forget to do their work because they are so engrossed. That is why, in this case, parents need to accompany their children in using gadgets so that they can be controlled later in using their Android phones. We hear and see day by day, cases of sexual harassment occur and are increasing regardless of the place whether it is at home, school, public facilities, even in places that are considered sacred. We can see when we watch TV, underage children are the victims of pornography. Not a few have to deal with the police and end up being looted. Pornographic acts are also clearly shown without wearing clothes. There is no longer a sense of shame and reluctance to show off one's body aura to the media for the sake of a morsel of food that must be risked. No thought is given to the negative impacts of all this. By watching freely, the morals of the young generation are damaged, of course the targets are children, teenagers who are still fragile in their stance. They are still easily tempted by things that smell of porn. Several years ago, the government blocked porn sites but the fact that we see is that there are still those who can access them. We do not know what caused why they can still be accessed easily. Is the government not serious enough in handling this problem? Or is it because of someone's skill in fiddling with how to find the site? We leave that question. Now the most important thing is to fortify ourselves with faith in God, for parents, accompany your children in using Android, provide positive activities at home, etc.

Abstract

Orang batak dikenal sebagai pemikir. Seorang filsuf Prancis yang bernama Descartes mengatakan, "Aku berpikir, maka aku ada". Hal ini bukan mau mengatakan bahwa orang batak mirip dengan orang Eropa mengenai cara berpikirnya. Penulis setuju bahwa apa yang dikatakan oleh Rene Deskartes adalah tepat. Keberadaan manusia itu masih ada ditandai dengan masih bekerjanya pikiran seseorang. Lebih lengkap lagi ungkapan tersebut dapat dimaknai sebagai suatu hal yang tetap eksistensinya di dunia individu. Sebuah ide akan muncul tentu karena seseorang itu berpikir. Merencanakan, bertindak, mengambil keputusan adalah buah dari berpikir. Sebut saja buah dari berpikir itu adalah konkretnya penggalian tulang belulang. Dikalangan orang batak penggalian tulang belulang dianggap hal yang biasa. Disamping hal yang biasa tentu karena ada beberapa sebab alasan harus dilakukan. Namun dikalangan masyarakat ada saja yang tidak setuju praktek itu dilakukan karena katanya mengandung mistis walaupun pada kenyataannya tidak semua begitu. Bagi sebagian orang juga, penggalian dan pemindahan tulang-belulang orang mati diyakini bahwa orang mati tetap akan memiliki kehidupan lain dan dapat berelasi dengan orang yang hidup. Sah-sah saja ada yang berpendapat demikian. Maka agar tidak terjadi kesalahpahaman yang demikian, ilmu Filsafat hadir guna menjembatani baik dalam menentukan kedudukan, hak dan kewajiban, maupun dalam mengatur sistem yang ada dalam hidup kita, sebab semuanya itu tidak terlepas dari bagaimana kita berpikir. Ilmu Filsafat membuka lebar-lebar pola pikir kita dalam mengambil keputusan yang tepat tanpa mengesampingkan nilai-nilai adat itu sendiri. Dengan kata lain juga bahwa penggalian tulang belulang merupakan buah pikir manusia itu sendiri untuk tujuan yang baik. Manusia yang berpikir berarti manusia yang mempunyai filosofi. Dengan sendirinya manusia yang mempunyai filosofi hidup, maka akan membentuk apa tujuan hidupnya. Jadi, akan lebih baik lagi bila penggalian tulang belulang itu dilakukan untuk tujuan yang baik, maka akan tampaklah disitu bahwa manusia itu benar-benar makhluk yang beradat dan berbudaya melalui filosofi-filosofi yang dimiliki orang batak. Filosofi itulah sebagai dasar bagi manusia untuk dipacu bertindak dengan tujuan yang jelas.

Abstract

Church congregations generally include ,men, women, youth, teenagers and children. It should be that when worship is held, all elements of the church gather and worship together. However, in reality there is an imbalance in the number of congregations present at church from the number of congregation members who attend each week. At GMI Pulau Sibandang, this occurs in the number of Men who attend worship every week. This study was written to analyze the role of GMI Pulau Sibandang servants in increasing the presence of fathers in worshiping at church. The research method used literature review, informal interviews and also observations at GMI Pulau Sibandang. The results showed that there were several factors causing fathers to not attend church services. This encouraged GMI Pulau Sibandang servants to pay attention to these factors and implement strategies to overcome this.

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the life of faith of the Israelites as God's chosen people, whether they were loyal to God or to Baal, especially on the journey to the promised land. The Israelites undertook a long and challenging journey. They were ordered by the prophet Moses to be free from Egypt and after Moses' death he was replaced by Joshua, the Israelis lived their lives in the desert for about 40 years, finally reaching the promised land promised by God. For 40 years in the desert, they got food in the form of manna and quail. They also experienced various tests and trials including rebellion and disbelief in God's guiding hand. The Israelites were known as an impatient nation. For example, when Moses was on Mount Sinai when God gave His law to Moses and Moses took too long to come down from the mountain. The Israelites there could not wait patiently because they were afraid of death and starvation because there was no one to lead. They talked to Harun to make a golden calf statue, which was considered to have power and was believed to be a substitute for God to continue their journey. They made a statue of a golden calf because Moses had not come down from Mount Sinai and was thought to be dead. The impatient attitude of the Israelites finally took a shortcut by making a golden calf that was considered to be able to replace God's position. Of course this made God angry because it had violated the 2nd commandment, namely "do not make for yourself any idol".
