Abstract

This study aims to reveal the fading (lost) colour of Reformed theology in churches with Reformed backgrounds or patterns in Indonesia as a reason for the urgent reformation agenda at the beginning of the 21st century (today). This objective is motivated by the gap between Reformed theology that faithfully upholds the truth of the Bible and the compromise of church leaders and/or theologians that results in the fall of the church and the loss of hope for the world (tragic). The research used historical-theology method, with the finding that the fading colour of Reformed theology in some Reformed churches denominations in Indonesia started since the entry of Reformed theology and churches that have been "castrated", taken captive (colonised) by state churches that are not interested in theology, lied to by the strong influence of modern liberal theology trends and postliberal postmodern theology trends, and fooled by the imposition of Western Christian culture and the denial of local culture, which resulted in the alienation of Reformed theology in Indonesia. This very alarming condition results in the loss of identity, guidance and the (fundamental) spiritual influence of Reformed theology. This finding is an input for the churches to be open to an urgent reformation agenda as the only solution.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the lost Gospel in worldwide churches, especially the evangelical churches in Indonesia and the loss of evangelism in the world. This research was stimulated by the influence of secularism and pragmatism in the church as a result of the change in worldview from the modern era to being postmodern. Based on content analysis research methods, analyzing specifically the contents of several major literatures, it was found that the Gospel and evangelism had indeed disappeared in many church organizations, including evangelical churches and schools of theology in Indonesia. Because of these churches tend to follow the world's mindset and standards, thus leaving the Gospel as the highest standard, as seen in their world-oriented and worldly-inclined way of life. Many churches are conforming to the world. In fact, the loss of the Gospel in the church and evangelization in the world is the biggest and most serious problem in the world, namely moral, mental and spiritual destruction and eternal destruction. For this reason, reformation of the Gospel and evangelism have become an important and urgent agenda, so that the church returns to its nature as a church, the sole agent of God's gospel in the world and returns to its main function, namely evangelizing the world. That is the only solution to the problems of the church and the world. This research is useful for theologians around the world to provide awareness and awareness for the church to carry out its function as the salt and light of the world through the Gospel and evangelism.
