Abstract

The purpose of this contextual theology-based study is to analyze the leadership character transformation embedded in Christian ethical values, particularly in preventing corruption, upholding justice, and building institutional trust. Through a qualitative study with philosophical textual analysis and selected case studies, this study reveals that persistent social inequality is often maintained by a system that exploits political power legitimation. Meanwhile, religious institutions, particularly churches, which play a crucial role in shaping the character of leaders with faith-based integrity, are still struggling with both internal and external challenges. The findings of this study showed that leadership transformation based on Christian morality should not merely focus on individual transformation but also systemic, which requires a reconciliation between Gospel values and contemporary democratic practices.

Abstract

This paper examines the theological role of the Holy Spirit as Spiritus Eschaton—the Spirit who guarantees, seals, and fulfills God’s plan of salvation—in response to renewed eschatological debates sparked by the viral “rapture” rumor of September 2025. Using theological hermeneutics and historical analysis of biblical Greek and Hebrew texts, as well as early church traditions, the study explores the concept of arrabōn tou pneumatos (“the guarantee of the Spirit”) in Ephesians 1:13–14 and 2 Corinthians 1:22. It finds that the Holy Spirit serves as tangible proof of believers living between the age of grace and the age of fulfillment. The paper concludes that the church should not be driven by fear of apocalyptic events but should instead focus on faith and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in facing the end times with hope.

Abstract

Pelayanan anak-anak dengan menggunakan panggung boneka merupakan media kreatif yang dapat digunakan untuk menyampaikan Injil secara kontekstual kepada anak-anak. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di dua tempat berbeda, yaitu di Pondok Sukacita Anak (PSA), Soreang, Kabupaten Bandung dan di PAUD SION, Waikabubak-Sumba, NTT. Kondisi awal menunjukkan anak-anak cenderung kurang fokus dan interaktif pada pembelajaran konvensional di tengah gempuran media digital satu arah yang potensial mengurangi partisipasi sosial dan kognitif. Dengan tujuan memperkenalkan kasih Tuhan melalui pertunjukan boneka yang interaktif dan mudah dipahami oleh anak-anak. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini meliputi persiapan pembuatan panggung boneka dari bahan sederhana dan terjangkau, penyampaian Firman Tuhan melalui media panggung boneka, musik pendukung, serta sesi interaktif antara boneka dan anak-anak. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan pada partisipasi anak, ditandai dengan peningkatan antusiasme, perhatian, dan respons spontan terhadap cerita Alkitab yang disampaikan. Dari kegiatan yang dilakukan, dapat terlihat bahwa pelayanan anak dengan media panggung boneka masih menunjukkan respons yang positif dari anak-anak. Anak-anak menjadi antusias dengan cara bercerita yang lebih interaktif sehingga dapat memahami dan mengingat cerita Alkitab dengan baik. Metode pemberitaan Injil dengan media panggung boneka terbukti masih relevan di tengah tantangan digitalisasi masa kini karena masih memberikan pengalaman belajar yang menyenangkan, interaktif dan memberikan ruang bagi anak-anak untuk berimajinasi. Secara substansial, kegiatan ini berkontribusi dalam menciptakan pembelajaran rohani yang lebih dinamis, mendorong interaksi sosial, serta menginternalisasi nilai-nilai moral melalui pengalaman yang konkret dan partisipatif, sehingga menjadi alternatif strategis bagi pendidikan iman anak di era digital.

Abstract

The contemporary ecological crisis, characterized by the massive exploitation of nature, raises fundamental theological questions regarding the relationship between humanity, God, and creation. This article aims to examine human exploitation of nature through the perspectives of Christian ethics and eschatology, positioning the ecological crisis as an ethical and eschatological issue of faith. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive method with a critical-theological approach, this study conducts a literature review of Biblical texts, theological treatises, and Indonesian contextual theology. The findings indicate that the exploitation of nature reflects a human failure to fulfill God’s mandate of stewardship over creation and reveals a crisis in Christian ethics that is both personal and structural. Christian ethics asserts that obedience to God is manifested not only through vertical relationships but also through concrete responsibility toward communal life, including the natural world. Furthermore, Christian eschatology is understood not as a narrative of apocalyptic fear, but as a transformative and ethical hope for the restoration of creation. Eschatological hope calls believers and the church to actively engage in environmental preservation and restoration as part of their witness of faith in a wounded world. This article concludes that Christian ethics and eschatology are inseparable in responding to the ecological crisis. The exploitation of nature is not a sign of destruction to be passively accepted; rather, it serves as a prophetic call for the church to live faithfully and responsibly, participating in God’s redemptive work over all creation.
