Abstract

This research intends to give a proposal concerning the practice of the holy communion in Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI) based on John Calvin’s theological thought. As one of the largest Pentecostal church in Indonesia and even further, as a Holy Spirit-centered church, GBI has not yet given a ‘room’ for Holy Spirit to unite the church with Christ through holy communion. In general, the holy communion practice is done as a memorial act upon His crucifixion that not only save the world, but also able to heal physical ailments. This study is using literature study to explore some material sources from GBI that contain the church’s doctrine, the primary source of John Calvin’s theological idea from his writings, and also secondary sources from theologians that has been exploring this issue. The researcher’s perspective and experience of being a member of GBI also cannot be dismissed to contribute in this study. I argue two things: 1) that Calvin’s theology on ‘spiritual presence’ about the union with Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit can be a beneficial contribution to the practice of the holy communion in GBI and it is not conflicting each other, considering the work of the Holy Spirit is a central doctrine in the life of Pentecostal congregation; 2) The act of faith in the GBI context might be a necessary role in believing the work of the Holy Spirit in holy communion. Researcher also give some potential challenges and solutions to consider in doing this proposal.

Abstract

Nazirite is one of the distinctive statuses found in the Old Testament. However, the concept of Naziriteship in the Old Testament is still rarely discussed. Reviewing one of the Nazirs in the Old Testament, namely Samson, creates a lot of confusion because his Nazirite status contradicts his behavior. Therefore, this article is about to examine Samson's destiny and how wicked his behavior was. Then was the suffering at the end of his life related to the breaking of his Nazi vows. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method that examines the text in narrative form and reflects on it for today's Christians. The results obtained from this study are that Samson clearly violated the sanctity of his vows so that he received God's punishment. But on the other hand, God's grace is still there for Samson especially for the people of Israel. Furthermore, today's Christians are God's Nazirs who must reflect God's holiness in living in this world. The promise of self-sanctification must not be broken so that we are not punished by God.

Abstract

This research aims to describe emotional stewardship, characteristics of healthy and unhealthy emotions, Biblical emotions, personality formation, personality traits and the correlation between personality and emotional stewardship. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods. The research results reveal that a good steward is able to regulate his emotional condition in any condition and situation, and is responsible for it before God. A steward should have healthy emotions, namely not using God as an excuse to run away from Him, releasing negative emotions, accepting the impact of mistakes in the past to learn to be better in the future, living a balanced life between spirituality and the secular, always communing with God. Researchers emphasize that before someone is appointed as a steward in the church, it is better to have guidance both in terms of personality and emotions between fellow workers. Another alternative is to carry out a personality test so that you can find out what the characteristics of the steward are so that you can assess yourself and others. In this way, it is hoped that you will be able to be open to each other and accept the shortcomings and weaknesses of each worker. Researchers concluded that personality is able to influence someone in carrying out emotional stewardship.

Abstract

The background to writing this article is the condition of education in Indonesia, including Christian universities, which in practice prioritizes only intellectuality. Even though the curriculum design has been prepared with comprehensive objectives, the facts prove that intellectuals occupy the golden seat in the world of education. Increasing intelligence without being balanced with spirituality, morality and practical skills will bring more harm than benefit. Therefore, this article aims to introduce the principles of curriculum development in Christian universities taken from the prologue of the Book of Proverbs, namely 1:1-7. Proverbs are suitable as a biblical basis for curriculum development because this book was originally used to instruct and educate young people in ancient Israel. The method used is literature study and exegetical analysis. As a result, the Prologue of Proverbs contains spiritual, intellectual, moral-social and practical aspects (problem solving), and it can be concluded that curriculum development in Christian universities needs to touch on these aspects.
