<![CDATA[Today some young adults decide not to marry. Various reasons were put forward, including fear of being committed to their partner ‒how to interact with their partner's family – not to mention the matter of heredity. These things make young adults experience gamophobia and no longer care about married life. Gamophobia, if not overcome, will result in both physical and psychological disturbances to the young adults themselves. It can even impact the people around him, especially those closest to him. This study used a qualitative method by observing the phenomena experienced by young adults, then the researchers conducted interviews with informants who participated gamophobia. A study analysis was carried out through the literature and then the results were explained descriptively. It was found that a lack of understanding of marriage made young adults avoid it. Pastoral care in the youth community and religious counseling services play an essential role in helping young adults with gamophobia experience a full recovery. It is hoped that through these services, young adults will overcome fear and be ready to enter the marriage ladder. In the end, the church will thrive; and become a witness to the world through the life of its congregation.]]>

<![CDATA[Human culture and its components move dynamically according to the trend of philosophical ideas that drive it. The existence of the church, which is also the subject and object of culture, is also conditioned on it. In the present context, postmodern philosophy and culture pose severe challenges to the church in two categories: it's cultural product components and philosophical ideas. These two issues are the subject of research that the author examines in this article to describe the challenges of postmodern culture and philosophy for the church. The research method used by the author is descriptive qualitative, with the study of primary and secondary data sources using literature studies and phenomenal hermeneutics. The results of this study indicate that postmodern philosophy and culture have seriously impacted the church today. Postmodern philosophical ideas radically reject claims of absolute truth and challenge the nature of language and the principles of traditional Christian hermeneutics. Meanwhile, its cultural products affect the practical application of church services to the lifestyle of God's people, both positively and negatively.]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this research is to find God's truth about spiritual discipline in the Old Testament as a basis for theology students in completing their study assignments at STT Ebenhaezer Tanjung Enim. This is motivated by the lack of student understanding of spiritual discipline, especially students who have received disciplinary sanctions from institutions. In order to solve the above problems, research was carried out using descriptive-bibliological methods especially in the Old Testament. The result is the basis of spiritual discipline, namely the law, God's revelation and God's promises. The principle of spiritual discipline is to be carried out continuously, in the form of orders and various regulations, educating in truth and proclaiming justice. The purpose of spiritual discipline is for God's people to experience repentance, improve spiritual quality and bring God's people to true worship. The pattern of spiritual discipline is through the traditions of God's people, teaching, warnings and punishment.]]>

<![CDATA[The dual nature of Jesus still leaves problems of interpretation and understanding. The emphasis on the humanity of Jesus is excessive, resulting in His divinity needing to be addressed in some aspects. On the other hand, overemphasizing the divinity of Jesus resulted in His humanity being hindered, especially in the aspect of His suffering and death. The text of John 5:19 is often misunderstood as if Jesus was not God because He could not do anything on His own. This has the potential to cause doctrinal deviations. This study uses a qualitative method with an exposition approach that looks at the basic texts of the dual nature of Jesus and summarizes the interpretation and understanding of the topic. From this approach, it can be seen several points of affirmation, namely: the specific dualism of the nature of Jesus is understood based on the demarcation of context, the motivation for interpretation and understanding is one of the first steps in understanding the demarcation of the dual nature of the context, and negative perceptions of understanding biblical Christology leading to logical misperceptions of the biblical internals.]]>

<![CDATA[The church has been chosen as God's mission agent in the time of grace to express God's love for all ethnic groups in the world in a cross-cultural mission program. However, church mission activities (missio ecclesiae) in cross-cultural missions are often interpreted as limited to preaching the gospel by taking Matthew 28:19-20 to be the primary text reference. Evangelicals and Pentecostals widely hold this view. Considering other texts, it will be evident that the local church's involvement in cross-cultural missions is more expansive to include other activities. Through the method of thematic analysis of Romans 15:22-33, through a missiological lens, it is revealed that the church can share power in cross-cultural missions in three ways: accompanying evangelism in the field and donating funds for humanitarian services and praying for ongoing tasks. Church involvement is holistic, touching both spiritual and physical aspects.]]>

<![CDATA[Violent behaviour in the history of human civilization has existed as old as human existence itself. Attempts to eradicate violent behaviour are futile because violence has a positive side when used with the right motivation, method and purpose. Applying violence with the reason to stop an injustice becomes an effective tool for creating a better life. The pros and cons regarding this matter are still the subjects of debate. This research aims to put forward a comprehensive ethical-theological thinking process to see the manifestation of God's love and justice for humans. The method used is qualitative, with an exploratory approach to obtain data and the context of the interpretation of violence in an ethical-theological scheme. The results of this study indicate that: humans are only responsible for minimizing the level of violence with the application of God's love and justice, violence does not always refer to the manifestation of the power of sin but human actions that have negative-destructive value when the violence is controlled and driven by corruption, and violence can have a value positive-constructive when owned and driven by God's love and justice.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstrak: Persoalan bangsa yang besar lewat perselisihan yang menimbulkan disintegrasi bangsa secara horizontal sangat disayangkan terjadi di Indonesia. Namun hal itu terjadi karena masyarakat mau di adu domba dengan oknum serakah kekuasaan dengan mengorbankan kerukunan bertujuan mereduksi keberagaman dan kemajemukan bangsa. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskritif maka penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa tanggung jawab orang percaya atau gereja secara umum yang berada dalam fenomenologi politik identitas. Sejatinya orang percaya dapat menciptakan kerukunan dan memperkokohnya melalui sikap yang menjadi berkat dalam ruang publik. Hal itu juga selaras dengan apa yang dengan cita-cita kemerdekaan Indonesia yang telah diperjuangkan oleh pejuang kemerdekaan yang tidak melihat latar belakang SARA. Begitu juga kemajemukan harus tetap dijaga dan dikawal dengan tindakan-tindakan setiap hari yang tidak pernah menyinggung sentimen berlebihan dari identitas manusia. Oleh karena itu saling menghargai dan menghormati menjadi cara tersendiri untuk memperkokoh kerukunan supaya bangsa besar atas nama Indoensia ini memberi rasa nyaman bagi generasi selanjutnya]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to redefine the application of church discipline/strategies based on the Bible. The meaning of this discipline is to be a guideline for the church today when it finds its people falling into sin. The method used is qualitative research with an exemplary approach. The results of the study clearly state that the Bible has formulated a form of church discipline/tactics with the principles of serving, shepherding, and admonishing. The Bible says that the application of discipline has brought sinners to repentance. The Bible also states unequivocally that church discipline is not punishment but leads to the knowledge of Christ. Thus the church must be guided by Jesus' discipline pattern for sinners. The principle of Jesus' discipline is to seek and save the lost.]]>
