Abstract

This study employs a literature review methodology to investigate the interplay among religious freedom, religiosity, and economic development. It examines how religious freedom influences religiosity levels and economic growth, drawing on various research propositions and empirical evidence. The research relies on reputable international journal sources and keywords related to religious economy, competition, markets, and their impact on religiosity and economic development. The study reveals a significant relationship between religious freedom and religiosity, highlighting seven key propositions, including the role of state involvement in regulating religious activities, the effects of unregulated religious activities, and the impact on societal acceptance of religious symbols and rituals. It also explores the connection between religious freedom and economic development, emphasizing that it is integral to civil and political liberties, removing barriers to innovation, trade, and investment and ultimately contributing to social stability and cultural diversity. In conclusion, this study illuminates the complex connections between religious freedom, religiosity, and economic development, offering insights for policymakers to protect religious rights, encourage pluralism, and foster a diverse and inclusive society that values religious freedom and economic growth.

Abstract

This study discusses the importance of involving all congregation members in carrying out missions. The involvement of church members begins with the Christian family knowing the values of the mission. This is inseparable from how Christian leaders apply it in ministry. The purpose of the study was to explain the application of mission values in Christian families in Mentawai, by considering the condition of diversity that continues to grow in culture, religion, and tribe in Mentawai, West Sumatra. The method used is qualitative by collecting data from the literature. The results of the study found that the application of mission values in the Christian family can be made by being a bearer of good news, being a congregation of disciples, being a congregation that grows in teaching, and being a congregation that supports missions. The diversity of cultures, religions, and tribes in Mentawai can trigger the enthusiasm and persistence of the Church, both GKPM and other churches that serve there.

Abstract

Cultural engagement is not an option but a duty. This article discusses the cultural mandate used to criticize the separation between sacred and secular. The cultural mandate will be explained through definitions and theological reviews found in various literature. Then, the author will show their critique of the separation between sacred and secular based on their understanding of the cultural mandate within the Christian worldview. This research article uses the library research method. This method will examine previous findings on the dualistic worldview and the cultural mandate from various literary sources such as books, academic journals, and online news with a narrative review approach. The result highlights the importance of understanding the cultural mandate within the cosmic context of the Bible's metanarrative (Creation-Fall-Redemption) as a strong foundation to reject this sacred and secular dualism. Every Christian needs to understand that they no longer need to live in a world that is separated between sacred and secular, but they can dedicate their entire life to Christ for the glory of God.

Abstract

Incest is an iceberg phenomenon that is muted as it involves cultural, legal, economic, moral, psychological and human rights, where one and the other are interrelated, making it difficult to describe it. The purpose of this research is to observe the problem of incest from theological and cultural studies broadly concerning aspects of human life, both economic, social, educational, and biblical truth. The method used descriptive qualitative with theme analysis which will produce perspectives on incest broadly from cultural and theological studies based on Imago Dei's self-image, holiness and family according to God's design, the Creator of the household as a divine institution based on the Bible as the truth that absolute. The Old Testament records the emergence of cases of incest in the lives of the figures of faith which have the potential to cause ambiguity in adolescents, if Christian Education does not design the theme of incest in the curriculum as the context of teaching texts about holiness.

Abstract

The method of theology used by a person in providing theological understanding has a uniqueness or distinctiveness that can be judged and even imitated by other theological learners. What the Apostle Paul had and did became an example for believers in his time and today, amid the demands of a society that is increasingly moderate and increasingly sensitive to the gospel message, not only in terms of setting an example of life but also setting an example in terms of theology. The author uses qualitative research methods in discussing and studying specifically 1 Corinthians 9:1-23 in order to examine and discover Paul's theological method. In the study, the author found three theological methods used by the Apostle Paul in this context: the rhetoric method, the apologetics method, and the contextual method. In today's context, the rhetorical method enables effective speech by choosing words, terms, expressions, and sentences that can attract the attention and sympathy of the listener. The apologetic method pays attention to the substance of the true truth of the Christian faith without getting bogged down in the demands of the perspective of the average society. The contextual method pays attention to the condition of society, culture, and all its characteristics, with the aim that the gospel is preached and people in that context can accept and know Christ.

Abstract

This study aims to explain ludruk culture as a means to preach the mission of the Kingdom of God in the scope of Jawi Wetan Christian Church (GKJW). Generally, the play/story ludruk revolves around social criticism of people's lives, with the aim of improvement in the lives of these people.

The results showed that ludruk and the mission of the Kingdom of God are an appropriate synergy for GKJW to preach the mission of the Kingdom of God.

Abstract

The encounter between the Gospel and culture often creates tensions. Some of these tensions can be found in some issues of evangelization in the midst of Indonesia's diverse ethnicities and cultures. Local theology is both a strategy and a way out of this problem. Designing and building local theology must be connected to local cultural values. One of the local cultural values raised in this research is sangkan paran found in the Javanese community in Paguyuban Ngesti Tunggal (Pangestu). Through qualitative research methods using interviews, documents and desk research, the values of sangkan paran are explored and assessed from a biblical perspective, resulting in several findings. The findings show many points of convergence as well as points of difference between Pangestu's concept of sangkan paran and that of the Bible. All of these findings become material for the design of local theology that is actualized in the proclamation of the Gospel to the Javanese community in Pangestu Caruban.

Abstract

The massive corruption that occurs in this nation also extends to the church as a spiritual institution. Corruption is a big problem for society, which causes people to suffer and, of course, disrupts the country's economy. Corruption is also an act of violation of human rights and is now a social pathology that is dangerous for human life. This research aims to provide an understanding of how the role of Christianity can reduce corrupt behaviour by forming an anti-corruption character. Yeng is certainly very useful for Christianity in building a country free from corruption. This paper uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach. The results of this research state that corruption is a crime that must be fought. Corruption contains untruths that are not in line with the teachings of the Bible. Therefore, the church must guide the congregation with an anti-corruption character within a biblical framework.

Abstract

This article aims to understand the work of the Holy Spirit in placing church ministers. The Holy Spirit reveals His work in placing church servants to develop ministry. However, based on this research, the author found several things that are of concern to a church minister. In Ex. 18:14-27 Jethro also asked Moses to appoint several people who could help him in leading God's chosen people. Likewise, what was experienced by the apostles in their ministry after they received the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel and convert many souls was recorded in Acts 2:41 as approximately three thousand souls; this figure is not a small number of souls who want to be served the truth. The work of the Holy Spirit enables church ministers to serve the congregation in terms of teaching God's Word. All of this happened inseparable from the work of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit also enabled the apostles to determine according to predetermined criteria; namely, people must be filled with the Holy Spirit, wise, and willing to suffer for the truth. Hopefully, this article can help to understand and understand the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers in carrying out the church's tri-tasks in terms of ministry.
