<![CDATA[Pastoral Letters are letters written as a form of shepherding. Then it can be said that pastoral letters are pastoral letters to God's people. Seeing this, pastoral letters are very important in the lives of Christians, especially the church. In this article, the author aims to explore and explain the practical instructions contained in pastoral letters for pastoral care. So the hope is that this article will have an impact on every church leader and family head to deeply solve internal problems of faith and Church management, and the church as an institutional institution discusses how the Church deals with these problems in the congregation. Surat-surat Pastoral adalah surat yang dituliskan sebagai bentuk penggembalaan. Maka dapat dikatakan bahwa surat-surat pastoral merupakan surat penggembalaan kepada jemaat Tuhan. Melihat ini, maka surat-surat pastoral sangatlah penting dalam kehidupan umat Kristen, khususnya gereja. Dalam artikel ini, penulis bertujuan mengeksplorasi dan memaparkan petunjuk-petunjuk praktis yang ada dalam surat-surat pastoral untuk penggembalaan jemaat. Sehingga harapannya adalah artikel ini berdampak pada setiap pimpinan gereja dan kepala keluarga untuk secara kedalam menyelesaikan masalah internal iman dan manajemen Gereja, serta gereja secara institusi kelembagaan membahas bagaimana Gereja menangani masalah tersebut di jemaat.]]>

<![CDATA[Parables as a learning model delivered by Jesus were easily captured by the recipient in His day. What was taught by Jesus to His listeners through various forms of delivery. One form of delivery of Jesus' learning method related to Bible hermeneutics is a literary problem. All genres present in the Scriptures. The parable is clearly a genre that is typical of biblical literature. Parables are most often found in the Gospels because Jesus used this genre in his teaching very often. Why? Not without reason is called Jesus teacher. He is a master in the full sense of the word and he is aware of that his listeners - often very simple people - on more than one occasion have difficulty understanding the extraordinary secrets he preaches to them. That is why he applied different methods according to the principles of rhetoric in order to influence a wide audience. Because of the parable - a short story that conveys a comparison of some known life situation or picture - he can certainly more easily influence a large number of listeners and provide it with simple ways of sublime content about God's kingdom, love, mercy, and God's salvation. Perumpamaan sebagai model pembelajaran yang disampaikan oleh Yesus dengan mudah ditangkap oleh penerima pada jamannya. Apa yang diajarkan oleh Yesus kepada para pendengarnya lewat berbagai bentuk penyampaian. Salah satu bentuk penyampian metode pembelajaran Yesus berhubungan dengan hermeneutika Alkitab adalah masalah sastra. Semua genre hadir dalam Kitab Suci. Perumpamaan jelas merupakan genre yang khas literatur Alkitab. Peumpamaan paling sering ditemukan dalam Injil karena Yesus menggunakan genre ini dalam pengajarannya sangat sering. Mengapa? Bukan tanpa alasan disebut Yesus guru. Dia adalah Guru dalam arti kata sepenuhnya dan dia sadar tentang itu para pendengarnya - seringkali orang yang sangat sederhana - pada lebih dari satu kesempatan memiliki kesulitan memahami rahasia luar biasa yang dia khotbahkan kepada mereka. Itulah mengapa ia menerapkan metode yang berbeda sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip retorika secara berurutan untuk mempengaruhi khalayak luas. Karena perumpamaan - cerita pendek yang menyampaikan perbandingan dari beberapa situasi kehidupan yang dikenal atau gambar - dia tentu bisa lebih mudah pengaruhnya sejumlah besar pendengar dan memberikannya dengan cara sederhana konten luhur tentang kerajaan Allah, kasih, rahmat, dan keselamatan Allah.]]>

<![CDATA[High quality education is very important for the progress of a society or nation. John Fitgerald Kennedy, former President of the USA 1961-1963, said "The development of a nation can not be swifter than the development in education. That is, if we want to advance our society and nation, then we must advance and improve the quality of our education. On the other hand, experts believe that science is power and education is a future investment (knowledge is power and education is investment in the future). So not the act of educating is very important and essential so the purpose of writing is how the act of educating in Christianity is aimed at the life of God's people themselves as a whole. Pendidikan yang berkualitas tinggi sangat penting artinya bagi kemajuan suatu masyarakat atau bangsa. John Fitgerald Kennedy, mantan Presiden USA 1961-1963, mengatakan “The development of a nation can not be swifter than the development in education. Artinya, kalau kita ingin memajukan masyarakat dan bangsa kita, maka kita harus lebih dahulu memajukan dan meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan kita. Di pihak lain, para pakar berpendapat bahwa ilmu pengetahuan adalah kekuatan dan pendidikan adalah investasi masa depan (knowledge is power and education is investment in the future). Maka tidaklah tindakan mendidik merupakan hal yang sangat penting dan esensial sehingga tujuan penulisan adalah bagaimana tindakan mendidik dalam kekristenan adalah bertujuan untuk kehidupan umat Tuhan itu sendiri secara utuh.]]>

<![CDATA[This article aims to describe the plurality of religions in the Christian view and how they are implicated in Christian Religious Education. The method used is quantitative description, where the authors collect material from various sources of writing that relate to religious plurality and Christian views view it. The result of this writing is the discovery of the first theocentric approach, namely religions that exist in a shared environment and life that all come from one common root or ancestor, and from the same God. Second, christocentric, which prioritizes the discussion of the relationship of Christianity with plurality or other religions by highlighting Jesus as a measure. The implication is first the curriculum and specifically the material or teaching material needs to be adapted to the context. Second, the speakers as resource persons, whoever they are, who are involved in the teaching of PAK, need to have at least adequate knowledge, insights and skills about the condition of plural religious communities and pluralism into general principles and characters.]]>

<![CDATA[Why are some leaders successful, while others fail? The truth is that there is no "magic combination" of characteristics that make a leader successful, and different characteristics matter in different situations. This does not mean, however, that we cannot learn to be effective leaders. We just need to understand the different approaches to leadership, so that we can use the right approach for our own situation. This paper offers how to build entrepreneurial Christian leadership in achieving the success of a leader. The conclusion is that entrepreneurial leadership is a personal strength of a leader. It is very necessary that the soul of leadership in every human person. Mengapa beberapa pemimpin yang sukses, sementara yang lain gagal? Yang benar adalah bahwa tidak ada "kombinasi ajaib" dari karakteristik yang membuat seorang pemimpin yang sukses, dan karakteristik yang berbeda penting dalam situasi yang berbeda. Ini tidak berarti, bagaimanapun, bahwa kita tidak bisa belajar untuk menjadi pemimpin yang efektif. Kita hanya perlu memahami berbagai pendekatan kepemimpinan, sehingga kita dapat menggunakan pendekatan yang tepat untuk situasi sendiri. Tulisan ini menawarkan bagaimana membangun kepemimpinan Kristen entrepreneurial dalam mencapai keberhasilan seorang pemimpin. Kesimpulannya bahwa kepemimpinan entrepreneurial adalah suatu kekuatan pribadi dari seorang pemimpin. Sangat diperlukan sekali jiwa kepemimpinan pada setiap pribadi manusia.]]>

<![CDATA[This article describes the problem of how the Bible as the word of God is interpreted contextually for theology in Indonesia. The method used in this article is to explore contextual theological models and to have a reciprocal, constructive and dialectical dialogue between the Bible and dogma (the universal tradition) as well as the actual beliefs of the community (local traditions). The result of this research is that the meaning of God in the Bible will have a liberating and humanizing power if the meaning of God is not applied directly but in dialogue with the actual beliefs of the community where the Bible is read and preached.]]>
