Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a diverse society. Diversity can bring conflict to society, but tolerance is essential to maintaining it. Education is a key starting point for fostering tolerance. This requires teachers to carry out their role in instilling moral values in society based on the correct philosophical foundation. As the image and likeness of God, despite having fallen into sin and experiencing severe damage, humans still have a will and mind that is the basis for humans to be both tolerant and intolerant. This article aims to explore the philosophical role of Christian teachers as mentors, examining how they foster tolerance and intolerance in the classroom. The method used in writing is a literature review. The conclusion is that Christian teachers can use tolerant and intolerant attitudes correctly in the classroom through motivation, spontaneous advice with love, examples of Christ's love, and classroom habits that teach students to love each other and appreciate the work of others while hating sin.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT:Indonesia adalah negara dengan masyarakat yang beragam. Keberagaman ini sering kali menimbulkan konflik di masyarakat. Namun, toleransi merupakan hal yang penting untuk menjaga keberagaman, yang dapat dimulai dari dunia pendidikan. Hal ini menuntut guru untuk menjalankan perannya dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai moral dalam masyarakat dengan berlandaskan pada landasan filosofis yang benar. Sebagai gambar dan rupa Allah, meskipun telah jatuh ke dalam dosa dan mengalami kerusakan yang parah, manusia masih memiliki kehendak dan pikiran yang menjadi dasar bagi manusia untuk bersikap toleran dan intoleran dengan benar. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai peran guru Kristen sebagai pembimbing dalam menumbuhkan sikap toleransi dan intoleransi di dalam kelas secara filosofis. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan adalah tinjauan pustaka. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh adalah guru Kristen dapat menggunakan sikap toleran dan intoleransi dengan benar di dalam kelas melalui motivasi, nasihat spontan dengan kasih, teladan kasih Kristus, dan kebiasaan di dalam kelas yang mengajarkan siswa untuk saling mengasihi dan menghargai karya orang lain serta membenci dosa.

Abstract

Effective communication occurs if students understand the meaning of the message conveyed by the teacher. If the delivery made by the teacher is not good, there will be a misunderstanding. This study aims to analyse how a Christian teacher can help students learn to communicate effectively. A descriptive qualitative research methodology utilizing literature studies was employed. In the era of postmodernism presenting various truths in assessing the actions taken, it is hoped that Christian teachers will be able to have the right foundation in acting. So, it is possible to build effective communication so that teachers, serving as guides, can understand and appreciate the needs of students, use media, explain messages clearly, and be humble. The conclusion is that Christian teachers as guides can have the right value of truth in building effective communication, namely looking at students as images of God. This is in line with the characteristic of Christian ethics, namely love. So, Christian teachers can love students so that they develop their abilities as a form of responsibility for the potential given by God. One of the ways that teachers do this is by choosing words in delivering messages to students related to assignments. The advice given is to choose a theory that is relevant to effective communication problems in learning so that it can analyze more deeply and find concrete solutions that can be applied to the role of teachers as guides.Bahasa Indonesia Abstract Komunikasi yang efektif terjadi ketika siswa memahami maksud dari pesan yang disampaikan oleh guru. Jika penyampaian yang dilakukan oleh guru tidak baik, maka akan terjadi kesalahpahaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa bagaimana seorang guru Kristen dapat membantu murid-muridnya untuk belajar berkomunikasi secara efektif. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan studi literatur. Di era postmodernisme yang menghadirkan berbagai kebenaran dalam menilai tindakan yang dilakukan, diharapkan para guru Kristen dapat memiliki dasar yang benar dalam bertindak. Dengan demikian, dimungkinkan untuk membangun komunikasi yang efektif sehingga guru yang berperan sebagai penuntun dapat memahami dan menghargai kebutuhan siswa, menggunakan media, menjelaskan pesan dengan jelas, dan rendah hati. Kesimpulannya adalah guru Kristen sebagai penuntun dapat memiliki nilai kebenaran yang tepat dalam membangun komunikasi yang efektif, yaitu memandang siswa sebagai gambar Allah. Hal ini sejalan dengan ciri khas etika Kristen, yaitu kasih. Jadi, guru Kristen dapat mengasihi murid agar mereka mengembangkan kemampuannya sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab atas potensi yang diberikan Tuhan. Salah satu cara yang dilakukan guru adalah dengan memilih kata-kata dalam menyampaikan pesan kepada siswa terkait tugas. Saran yang diberikan adalah memilih teori yang relevan dengan masalah komunikasi efektif dalam pembelajaran sehingga dapat menganalisa lebih dalam dan menemukan solusi konkrit yang dapat diterapkan pada peran guru sebagai penuntun.

Abstract

The present time in Nigeria and globally has been more perilous than ever, characterized with bizarre occurrences within the church and the larger society. This study explores the Pauline eschatological prediction of the perilous times when men will become lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure more than God (II Timothy 3:1, 2 & 5). Experiential and theological methodologies were adopted for generating qualitative primary and secondary data. The theological aspect of the research employed the tools of biblical exegesis, textual analysis, and literatures. The experiential aspect involved in-depth interviews (IDIs), observations, social media contents and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) to access current events and personalized experiences of respondents who were purposively selected from within and outside the church. The results were discussed in the light of Christian theology, social ethics and Pastoral ministry. The Nigerian society is evidently witnessing the perilous times when love of self, money and pleasure will become the untoward defining features of human society and sadly too, of men that profess the faith. Transactional gospel, gimmickry, merchandize of holy things, and self-indulgent love of money are rife in the contemporary church. Ostentatious lifestyles, lack of support for the minister at the local church, and false messages on material blessings are what trap church ministers and laypersons in this end-time evil. The context and practice of ”˜full time’ ministry when the local assembly is not able to support its minister is a challenge that predisposes some to ”˜Simoniacal’ presentations, offering the gifts of God for monetary gain. Sound biblical teachings to protect the people of God and expose the mercenary spirit in sacred function is the local church most potent weaponry.

Abstract

This study shows whether the culture of society can influence the organization, communication and implementation of church management, using the framework created by Geert Hofstede. Hofstede created a survey for investigating the variation of values to distinguish between cultures, their impact on etiquette, communication and church management (Hofstede's cultural dimensions). This study was conducted at the GKY BSD church organization located in Bumi Serpong Damai, Tangerang using quantitative research methods from the GLOBE study. The results of the study show that the existing data processing indicates a shift in one of the characteristics of Tionghoa culture in the leadership style of the GKY BSD church organization and supported the existing hypothesis, namely the multicultural Tionghoa Indonesia. This shift is an interesting phenomenon that shows the existence of a multicultural process and provides significant congregation growth from year to year in one of the church branches in BSD, Tangerang.Bahasa Indonesia AbstractPenelitian ini menunjukkan apakah budaya masyarakat dapat mempengaruhi organisasi, komunikasi dan pelaksanaan manajemen gereja, dengan menggunakan kerangka kerja yang dibuat oleh Geert Hofstede. Hofstede membuat survei dalam menyelidiki variasi nilai untuk membedakan budaya, dampaknya terhadap etiket, komunikasi dan manajemen gereja (dimensi budaya Hofstede). Penelitian ini dilakukan pada organisasi gereja GKY BSD yang berlokasi di Bumi Serpong Damai, Tangerang dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif dari studi GLOBE. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengolahan data yang ada menunjukkan adanya pergeseran pada salah satu karakteristik budaya Tionghoa pada gaya kepemimpinan organisasi gereja GKY BSD dan mendukung hipotesis yang ada, yaitu Tionghoa Indonesia yang multikultural. Pergeseran ini merupakan fenomena menarik yang menunjukkan adanya proses multikultural dan memberikan pertumbuhan jemaat yang signifikan dari tahun ke tahun di salah satu cabang gereja di BSD, Tangerang.

Abstract

First Corinthians 14:33-35 reveals one of the many controversies about the roles of women in ministry in the church today. Many scholars have given diverse interpretations of the verses. The verses have led many people, including many Christian denominations, to have some positions on women in ministry. The thrust of this article is to explore the correct interpretation of the verses based on some historical and biblical perspectives. The work adopted the historical and biblical exegesis method. Feminism theory was also considered in the work. The work concluded that 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 should not be interpreted literally. It must be interpreted within its context. It also concluded that women have their roles to play in the world and in the propagation of the gospel of Christ, regardless of attempts by men to relegate them to the background.

Abstract

The ecclesial community's call to duty and ability to carry out its mission is centered on how relevant it must become to the existential realities of those living in the public sphere. Jürgen Moltmann makes what can only be considered as a concise statement when he states that, to make Christianity accessible to the masses, theology must openly uphold the universal concerns of God's coming Kingdom. The church, following its own faith principles, must demonstrate "general concern in the light of hope in Christ for the kingdom of God" by becoming "political in the name of the poor and the marginalized in a given society, by thinking critically about the religious and moral values of the societies in which it exists." Christian theology continues to be the mouthpiece of the church. This article's goal is to discuss Jürgen Moltmann's straightforward explanation of the church's public relevance in helping people remember why it exists in all forms of human sociality. This article's reflections aim to highlight the fact that the Christian church can only be seen to be fulfilling its mission when it is perceived as the voice of the voiceless, bringing God's fullness to human flourishing, and providing true meaning to human tranquillity in a difficult and uncertain world.

Abstract

This literature review and analysis intricately examines the dynamic interplay between educators and students within the realm of higher education, with a keen focus on the spiritual dimensions elucidated by Christian principles and biblical wisdom. Rooted in the fundamental belief that education embodies a sacred journey, this study delves deep into the profound impact of positive relationships on both academic achievements and spiritual maturation. By establishing meaningful connections between contemporary educational practices and timeless biblical teachings, the research sheds light on how Christian virtues, such as love, compassion, and empathy, serve as foundational pillars in cultivating a spiritually enriching learning environment. The synthesis of empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and biblical insights not only enhances our understanding of the transformative potential of positive relationships in higher education but also underscores their pivotal role in fostering holistic development on a spiritual level. Through this comprehensive exploration, the study contributes significantly to the discourse on the symbiotic relationship between academic success and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of nurturing positive relationships as a cornerstone of holistic education in higher learning institutions.

Abstract

As early as 1930s Audrey Richards hinted at the irony that the spread of Christianity in Zambia, against all its good intentions, instead of diminishing fear, rather increased spiritual insecurity among its converts. There is scholarly evidence that the detected spiritual insecurity in the early 20th century persists up to now. The triggers of spiritual insecurity in Africa are attributed to the breakdown of traditional relationships and mutual obligation, the belief in the influence of the spirits on people for either good or bad. Spiritual insecurity shows that some of the Africans are in dilemma of Christian and African spiritual worldviews thereby struggling to fully trust the Christian approach to spiritually related challenges. This article validates the view that spiritual insecurity in Africa though highly ignored, should be taken seriously. It explores how the Church can use its faith formation system to address issue causing spiritual insecurity in Africa. Data collected through qualitative literature review and observations is engaged using the hermeneutical theory to argue for a faith formation which addresses the fissure between words about God in statements of faith and spiritual insecurity among African Christians by clarifying Christian confessions, identity and reflection.

Abstract

School and learning are inseparable. Meaningful learning looks at several aspects in its implementation, such as the school environment, classroom management, student character to the model or lesson method used. Teachers in this case play a role as agents of reconciliation who can introduce God to their students in the classroom, this can also start from the teacher choosing a learning model. One of the learning models that can be chosen is cooperative learning which uses a model of cooperation in learning. There are various kinds of cooperative learning models, but in this study, there are three discussed. Thus, the purpose of this research is to find out the cooperative learning type STAD, Guided Inquiry and Problem based Learning in Christian perspective. With the literature review method, the results of this study are that the use of the STAD learning model has a positive impact on students, and by the philosophy of Christian education emphasizes the importance of human relations with others as the image and likeness of God. The application of the guided inquiry learning model requires the active involvement of a teacher to guide students both cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual in learning.  Project-based learning in its implementation is expected to be able to direct students to holistic growth in accordance with the role of Christian teachers in the discipleship process.

Abstract

This paper discusses the impact of Christianity on today’s culture, so it is written from a Christian perspective. Culture, whether we realize it or not, has a powerful impact on human life. It shapes people's worldview, thinking patterns, life habits, goals, pursuits, choices, and desires. This paper aims to recall the engagement and activeness of Christians in culture, for if not, then Christianity will not have any impact in people's lives, rather it is the world that will influence and shape Christianity. The method used is a literature review, specifically the fine and incisive literatures on the cultural engagement of Christianity. This discussion of cultural engagement will use a four-question structure: "Who Am I, Where Am I, What's Wrong, and What's the Remedy." It is intended that the results of this study will reawaken the consciousness of every reader to reflect on the urgency of Christian cultural engagement in the formation of culture today. At the end, when Christians could re-engage in culture again, Christ and His lordship will once again shine, influence and permeate all aspects of human life for the glory of God.
