Abstract

The manifestation of the gift of the Holy Spirit in the early church demonstrates the capacity of supernatural power and work in the midst of the community of believers. However, according to time, especially in the development of technology, science and social media in the church, the tendency of today's ministry is more about the number of congregations, physical and financial development. The Church tends to weaken in the development of the gift of the Holy Spirit to the laity especially in generation Z. The Church has not only lost momentum in reaching out and making disciples, but has also stagnated in developing the capacity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the sucked Generation Z. The purpose of the study was to explain the strategies used in the development of the gift of the Holy Spirit to generation Z in the local church in the digital age. If the church does not have a clear strategy for developing the gift of the Holy Spirit to them, it will lose the spirit of evangelism, the manifestation of God's power and spiritual maturity amid disruptive technology. Research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. The construction of research in establishing mechanisms for the development of this gift relates to [1] The emphasis of teaching to Gen Z is widely underestimated. [2] Mechanisms for developing their leadership gifts from the beginning, [3] Methods relating to the provision of space and responsibility, and [4] Patterns of worship and service in the balanced use of technology.

Abstract

Pastoral care is urgently needed, especially for someone with a chronic illness. Through this pastoral care, people with chronic illnesses will be prepared to face death, both physically and spiritually. But more importantly than that, pastoral care to people with chronic illnesses will provide assurance that salvation from Jesus will be given to sufferers if they are willing to confess their sins and repent. Through a qualitative-descriptive method to obtain factual data conceptually, this study found that pastoral care to people who are experiencing chronic pain must be carried out by inviting sufferers to first confess all the sins they have committed as a result of their inability to love themselves. After that they must enter into repentance, so that they may obtain perfect salvation in Jesus. Thus they will return holy and ready to face chronic illness, even death.

Abstract

Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk mengetahui makna dalam teks Yoel 2:18-27 terhadap kehidupan bangsa Israel selama masa pasca-pembuangan yang nantinya akan di implikasikan terhadap kehidupan masa kini. Teks ini memuat sukacita dan harapan untuk umat Israel yang sedang mengalami kemalangan sebagai hasil dari komitmen yang menjalani tatanan hidup yang baru. Ibadah yang benar adalah hidup yang benar. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk menginterpretasikan teks adalah hermenutik Historis-Apokaliptik. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa pesan Tuhan dalam pemberitaan Yoel menggambarkan Allah yang peduli akan keberlangsungan kehidupan ciptaan-Nya, Allah mendengar ratapan dan perubahan pola hidup bangsa Israel sehingga memulihkan keadaan bangsa tersebut dengan damai sejahtera. Hal ini pun berimplikasi terhadap ajakan berdamai manusia dengan ekosistem dimana ini merupakan dasar pemulihan kehidupan alam menjadi lebih baik. Umat Tuhan harus hidup dalam tatanan perjanjian baru dengan Allah melalui kepedulian terhadap tanggung jawab untuk lingkungan hidup, dimana harus melestarikan dan menjaga alam sekitar. Umat yang taat dan setia akan menikmati kedamaian, baik di masa sekarang maupun di masa yang akan datang.

Abstract

The global economic crisis has created a gap between the rich and the poor (socio-economic gap). The decline in the spirituality of religious people is proven by their reluctance to give alms and their neglect of the importance of the essence of alms. In fact, the practice of giving alms is a pragmatic act to realize the law of love for others that has been taught in Christianity. To address this social and spiritual issue, Joseph Harrod offers a new understanding of almsgiving. This article aims to tackle the problem of reluctance to give alms using Joseph Harrod's contextual theological perspective, namely the discipline of giving alms proactively, as a solution in responding to the socio-economic disparities experienced by society, especially within the Church. This study uses qualitative methods through text analysis and data collection through literature studies. The results of the study found that the concept of the discipline of proactive giving can bridge the socio-economic gap and renew the spiritual life of Christians.

Abstract

The purpose of living a life pleasing to God means that every believer must meet God's standards, not all humans can fulfill them because of human sinfulness itself. As a result of sins committed from all human actions, in order to live to please God, all counselors and counselees must meet God's standards, but the problem is that the counselee's life is found by the counselor himself, still in acts of the flesh that do not show the standard of God's approval. This research article uses content analysis and qualitative data as literature research. Counselees who have problems in social life such as tattooing their bodies, often smoking, live rah-rah tend to get drunk making their future full of failures. The current research shows the results that state that the dimensions of life pleasing to God must be obeyed by every counselor and counselee as believers and practice it in various activities in daily life so that each counselee can live willingly, namely meeting God's standards. The novelty in this study uses ethical theory to be responsible for each counselee to act in the dimension of life pleasing to God. The conclusion is that every counselor and counselee as a believer must live a holy life, be faithful in worship, use the gifts that God has given well to contribute to the benefit of many people, behave well and please God.
