Abstract

In the book of Esther 4:10-17 tells the story of Esther, a woman who was appointed queen of Persia, who dared to fight against Haman's evil plan to massacre the entire nation of Israel. This story aims to provide inspiration for today's mothers who face various challenges in fighting for their faith. They are invited not to be afraid to speak out for the truth, even though they face social and cultural challenges. Esther teaches the importance of strategy and courage in fighting for family values and faith. Trust in God, as shown by Esther, is the key to facing difficulties and achieving victory. Mothers can emulate Esther's courage and wisdom in defending their family and their faith. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, namely a research approach that aims to describe, understand and interpret social or cultural phenomena in depth by collecting existing data. Esther's struggle provides inspiration for mothers today to fight for their faith personally and within Christian families.

Abstract

Materialism is a philosophical school that views matter as the highest reality and rejects the existence of the spiritual dimension. This view has had a major influence on the development of modern science and education, especially in the emphasis on cognitive, empirical aspects and measurable achievements. This article aims to examine the basic concept of materialism, the main figures who influence it, and the implications of its application in the world of education. Furthermore, this article critically analyzes materialism from the perspective of Christian faith and Christian Religious Education (PAK). Through a literature review approach and theological analysis, it was found that materialism has made a positive contribution to the development of scientific methods, but at the same time has serious weaknesses because it reduces humans to purely physical creatures. This view is contrary to the teachings of the Bible which emphasizes humans as God's creation who have a body, soul and spirit. Therefore, this article recommends that Christian Religious Education develop a holistic educational approach by integrating cognitive, moral and spiritual aspects, so that students are not trapped in a materialistic mindset
