Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji partisipasi wanita dalam ibadah wanita pada tradisi Gereja Pentakosta Karismatik di Indonesia berdasarkan perspektif teologis Galatia 3:28. Ibadah wanita merupakan ruang penting bagi wanita untuk terlibat dalam pelayanan rohani yang lebih personal dan kontekstual. Namun, pemahaman teologis tentang partisipasi wanita dalam ibadah ini masih beragam, khususnya dalam tradisi Pentakosta Karismatik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan, melalui analisis teks Alkitab dan literatur teologi yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Galatia 3:28 memberikan dasar teologis yang kuat untuk mendukung kesetaraan wanita dalam pelayanan, termasuk dalam ibadah wanita. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa ibadah wanita di tradisi Pentakosta Karismatik merupakan implementasi nyata dari panggilan kesetaraan dan inklusivitas di dalam Kristus.

Abstract

Early childhood education is a form of preschool education aimed at preparing young children for primary school. Currently, many early childhood education institutions (PAUD) have adopted curricula that not only focus on enhancing intellectual intelligence but also promote holistic education. The Christian Playgroup (KB) and Kindergarten (TK) LOGOS Bintaro are examples of PAUD institutions implementing this holistic educational concept by integrating Spiritual, Mental, Intellectual, and Skills (SMIS) aspects to prepare children for the next level of education.This research aims to explore the significance of the SMIS educational concept for early childhood, particularly the spiritual values as its foundational element, and to understand whether the meaning of this education is shared among students, parents, and educators. The research methodology uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. The theory used to review SMIS education is based on the Reformed Theology framework. The results of this study indicate that the SMIS education applied at KB-TK Christian LOGOS Bintaro is significant in forming the spiritual, mental, and skills foundation for students, supporting holistic development through collaboration between the school, parents, and church, and guiding children to become Christian individuals ready to serve God and others. The SMIS educational concept aligns with the Reformed Theology framework.

Abstract

For too long, churches have understood Pastoral Care only as a mentoring activity for their members so that the frame of Pastoral Theology does not accompany the mentoring steps. This paper will propose a Pastoral Theology that frames all Pastoral assistance for congregation members. Moving on from the theme of the GKPI Strategic Plan (Renstra) in 2024, the authors will make the phrase Good Shepherd in John 10:11,14 as the basic idea for proposing Pastoral Theology by referring to two important words, namely philos and ginosko. This paper will use qualitative research to construct philos and ginosko so that both become Pastoral Theology that frames the church's ministry. In the end, the author proposes that Pastoral Theology is the care of the church community.

Abstract

This research analyzes the challenges of biblical preaching in the context of religious pluralism. The problem discussed is how to address pluralistic understanding that relativizes religious truth and equates all paths to salvation. The research aims to identify winning biblical preaching strategies without compromising the uniqueness of Christianity. The research method uses a qualitative approach with literature study from various relevant sources. The results show that victorious biblical preaching requires proper exegesis, a Christocentric approach, wise contextualization, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. Preachers need to maintain theological integrity while remaining relevant in a pluralistic society.

Abstract

Meditation is a spiritual practice widely known in various religious traditions and beliefs around the world, including Christianity. However, in the context of Christian faith, the understanding and practice of meditation often remain controversial. Some Christians reject meditation because they associate it with non-Christian practices, while others are becoming more open to it, especially through greater access to information. The ambiguity of the concept of meditation in Christianity is an issue that needs to be studied in depth so that believers have a correct and theological understanding. This study aims to explore the meaning of meditation from a biblical perspective, specifically based on Psalm 119:15, and to distinguish it from non-Christian meditation practices. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method and exegetical analysis of biblical texts. The results of the study show that meditation in Christianity centres on reflecting on the Word of God as a means of deepening one's relationship with God and forming a spiritual life rooted in divine truth. Thus, Christian meditation has a strong biblical foundation and differs fundamentally from other religious meditations, particularly in its focus, object of reflection, and spiritual purpose.

Abstract

In recent decades, Christianity has been shaken by reports of moral failures among spiritual leaders. News of corruption, fraud, power struggles, and other scandals have flooded the media. However, the most shocking are the cases involving sexual misconduct by spiritual leaders. Churches and congregations have become victims of these leaders’ moral failures, resulting in shame, stress, depression, and even suicide among church members. Arising from this critical issue, the purpose of this study is to explore the theological insights of Galatians 5:16 and identify the solutions it offers. This research employs a library-based method, supported by interviews with two spiritual leaders and a hermeneutical analysis of Galatians 5:16. The findings reveal that walking by the Holy Spirit forms the foundation for ethical behavior among believers, especially spiritual leaders. Such ethical conduct can be actualized through consistent spiritual disciplines, which lead to four practical solutions for preventing moral failure.

Abstract

Pola pikir dan cara hidup merupakan faktor penting yang menentukan arah perjalanan seseorang. Banyak orang mengalami perubahan positif ketika memiliki keyakinan yang kuat kepada Kristus. artikel ini akan menegaskan kembali pentingnya orang Kristen mengenali kebenaran Allah (inti iman Kristen sebagaimana yang diajarkan Alkitab) dan bergaul akrab dengan Allah. Tanpa mengenal Allah dengan benar maka orang Kristen akan memandang realita hidup ini dengan pesimis, keputus-asaan, tanpa pengharapan yang berakhir dengan kekecewaan kepada Allah. Orang percaya melihat realita hidup dari perspektif Allah sehingga memampukannya menjalani hidup dengan tetap beriman kepada Allah. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan dari beberapa literature. Penulis membuat kesimpulan bahwa Keyakinan kepada Kristus menanamkan nilai-nilai seperti kasih, pengampunan, kerendahan hati, dan pelayanan, yang menggeser fokus hidup dari egoisme menuju altruism. Melalui pemahaman akan kasih dan pengampunan Kristus, seseorang dapat mengatasi pola pikir negatif, mengembangkan harapan, dan membangun pandangan hidup yang lebih positif.

Abstract

Asal mula budaya di dunia, menurut pandangan Alkitab, dapat dilihat melalui kisah penciptaan dan perkembangan umat manusia sejak awal sejarah. Dalam Alkitab, Tuhan menciptakan manusia pertama, Adam dan Hawa, yang ditempatkan di Taman Eden (Kejadian 2). Ketika mereka jatuh dalam dosa (Kejadian 3), umat manusia mulai menyebar ke seluruh dunia dan membentuk berbagai kelompok dengan tradisi dan cara hidup mereka sendiri. Keberagaman budaya ini tercermin dalam narasi seperti pembangunan Menara Babel (Kejadian 11), di mana Tuhan mengacaukan bahasa manusia, yang menyebabkan tersebarnya bangsa-bangsa dan lahirnya berbagai kebudayaan dengan bahasa, adat, dan cara hidup yang berbeda. Budaya menurut Alkitab juga berkaitan dengan bagaimana manusia menjalani hidup dalam hubungan dengan Tuhan dan sesama. Hukum-hukum dalam Kitab Taurat dan ajaran-ajaran Yesus memberikan panduan moral dan etika bagi pembentukan budaya yang berlandaskan kasih, keadilan, dan kebenaran. Oleh karena itu, meskipun keberagaman budaya muncul sebagai akibat dari dosa dan perpecahan, Alkitab mengajarkan bahwa budaya yang sejati adalah yang mencerminkan kehendak Tuhan dan mengarahkan manusia kepada hidup yang selaras dengan ciptaan-Nya. Secara keseluruhan, Alkitab mengajarkan bahwa asal mula budaya terkait erat dengan ciptaan Tuhan, peristiwa sejarah umat manusia, serta pencarian akan pengertian dan hubungan yang benar dengan Tuhan.

Abstract

Isu LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual, dan Transgender) merupakan fenomena global yang menimbulkan tantangan serius bagi gereja dalam mempertahankan kesetiaan pada kebenaran Firman Tuhan sekaligus menyatakan kasih Kristus secara kontekstual. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pandangan Alkitab terhadap homoseksualitas, serta mengeksplorasi pendekatan pastoral yang relevan dalam menghadapi jemaat yang bergumul dengan orientasi seksual. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi pustaka yang mencakup teks Alkitab, literatur medis, dan dokumen pastoral. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Alkitab secara konsisten menolak praktik homoseksual dan mengganggap LGBT sebagai ekspresi penyimpangan dari rancangan Allah, namun penting juga mengajarkan pentingnya kasih, pemulihan, dan pendampingan pastoral. Gereja dipanggil untuk membedakan antara identitas pribadi dan perilaku moral, serta menghadirkan komunitas yang mampu merangkul tanpa mengompromikan kebenaran. Kajian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman teologis dan pastoral gereja kontemporer dalam merespons isu LGBT secara bijaksana dan berbelas kasih.
