<![CDATA[The decline in congregation commitment to remain rooted in the local church, as reported by the Bilangan Research Centre and Pew Research Centre, represents a significant challenge for churches in maintaining member engagement. Spiritual dissatisfaction is a key factor driving members to other churches. Church leaders play a crucial role in creating an environment that fosters commitment. Leadership marked by care and compassion strengthens the relationship between leaders and congregants, encouraging commitment through the example of Jesus as described in John 10:4. This study aims to examine the influence of shepherd leadership based on John 10:4 and organizational involvement on fostering organizational commitment in the local church, specifically at Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI) Light of The City. The research method involves a survey using a Likert scale, measuring organizational commitment with Allen and Meyer’s instrument, and organizational engagement using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The results show that shepherd leadership based on the principles in John 10:4 and the level of congregational engagement play a role in building organizational commitment within the local church. Shepherd leadership, when applied contextually and relationally, can strengthen the congregation’s commitment to the church. However, the influence of shepherd leadership on organizational commitment is not direct, but is mediated by the level of organizational engagement among the congregants.]]>

<![CDATA[Various religions view non-faith marriage as a controversial decision and contrary to religious teachings. The reality is that many people, including Christians, enter into marriages outside their faith. This marriage is based on the view that it is an individual right. Furthermore, marriage is seen as a demonstration of love and a pursuit of happiness. This qualitative research uses literature and hermeneutic methods to expose the text of Genesis 6:1-4. The purpose of this research is to examine the meaning of the text of Genesis 6:1-4 through exposition. Then examines the theological implications of this exposition for the autonomy of the Christian individual. The exposition's findings demonstrate that unfaithful marriages contradict God's Word and are based primarily on physical appearance, neglecting spiritual qualities. Unfaithful marriages negatively impact not only the individual Christians themselves but also their families and offspring.]]>

This qualitative research uses library research and sociolinguistic methods. The results show the importance of using biblical slang in services attended by Gen Z. Churches also have the potential to provide space for services that use biblical slang.]]>

<![CDATA[SETARA Institute regularly releases data on various cases of violations of religious freedom that have occurred in Indonesia. Data shows that rejection of the construction and closure of houses of worship occurred in several regions, such as East Java, West Java, Central Java, Aceh and several other regions. These cases show that intolerance is still high in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the role of Christian Religious Education (PAK) in developing critical, tolerant, and just attitudes by referring to the results of theological interpretations of Romans 13:1–2. This descriptive qualitative research uses a literature study approach, complemented by a theological approach to explore contextual meaning. Findings based on analysis of the text Romans 13:1-2 show that obedience to the government is a form of obedience to God, without ignoring the principles of justice, love and religious freedom. The research findings illustrate that PAK has a strategic role in equipping Christians peoples to become agents of peace, capable of responding wisely to socio-political conflicts, and balancing obedience to authority with efforts to fight for religious rights. PAK also contributes to the formation of tolerant Christian communities, a harmonious pluralistic society, and improved interfaith relations. Thus, PAK not only shapes individual character but also supports the peaceful creation of social justice and religious freedom]]>

Churches are required to adapt wisely to remain relevant and actively engage within the dynamic digital society. This study aims to analyze the church’s role and strategies in interacting with the social community in the digital era, focusing on the digital ministry implementation at GBI Tabgha Batam.
