Abstract

Abstract:Human life with God's other creations has a mutually beneficial relationship, but humans often cause crises that threaten the safety of other creations due to anthropocentric thinking. The author uses Paul Knitter's theory of soteriocentrism, which affirms the primacy of the cosmic aspect while emphasizing a multi-normative approach or correlational dialogue in interfaith cooperation based on soteriocentrism, namely efforts to take global responsibility for the welfare of humans and the environment. The responsibility to improve and prevent the crisis requires awareness and real action from every human being, including church members, including the Protestant Church in Western Indonesia (GPIB). This research uses a library research approach and interviews. The results showed that GPIB has genuinely lived the work of God's salvation bestowed to save all creation and believes in the importance of working with all parties to realize the wholeness of all creation. Thus, GPIB has implemented the principle of soteriocentrism, whose indicators are contained in the Confession and GPIB's work program, which is seriously oriented towards the salvation of creation. The basic formulation of the good Confession can strive to continue to be aligned with the practice of sustainable action that does not stop at implementing an activity or work program for environmental care alone. Instead, action is seriously directed at ensuring that awareness of the importance of seeking the salvation of all creation is strongly internalized in all members of the congregation and GPIB ministers.

Abstract

Abstract:Evangelising ethnic groups that have long lived within traditional belief systems requires a contextual approach that is aligned with the culture and values of the communities receiving the Gospel. However, the church often faces challenges in preserving the purity of Christian doctrine when new believers remain strongly connected to ancestral traditions. This phenomenon is also evident among Dayak Meratus Christians in Loksado Village. This study aims to provide a conceptual framework for churches in Loksado and other regions with strong ancestral traditions to develop contextual approaches that help believers avoid syncretism without ignoring valuable cultural heritage. Using a qualitative approach through literature-based research, this study identifies a risk of syncretistic tendencies during the process of embracing Christianity among communities previously shaped by traditional belief systems, which may weaken doctrinal purity and spiritual growth. Therefore, the church must place God and His Word above all human cultural expressions and take concrete measures through contextual biblical teaching, exemplary leadership, holistic pastoral care, and continuous discipleship

Abstract

This study aims to examine whether Timothy’s leadership style—specifically the role of a role model as described in 1 Timothy 4:12—can influence the spiritual development of Generation Z (Gen-Z) at the GBI Light of City (LoC) church. As we approach an era in which the majority of the productive generation will retire, Gen-Z must be prepared as future leaders. However, challenges such as skepticism toward traditional authority, spiritual vulnerability, and the influence of digital technology pose major obstacles to their spiritual maturity. This study aims to identify leadership factors relevant to Gen-Z’s values and provide practical insights to enhance church programs targeting their spiritual growth. Using a qualitative approach with text analysis, this study found that Timothy’s leadership qualities—such as authenticity, integrity, unconditional love, steadfast faith, and moral purity—resonate strongly with Gen-Z’s values. The results highlight the importance of the role of the pastor, exemplary leadership, and the use of technology in supporting the spiritual formation of Gen-Z. A novel contribution of this study is that Timothy’s leadership model can be effectively adapted to meet the spiritual needs of Gen-Z in the modern era.

Abstract

Abstract:Lung disease is a chronic condition that not only affects patients’ physical well-being but also impacts their spiritual lives. Christian spirituality, particularly in the context of physical suffering, plays a vital role in providing meaning, peace, and hope for patients. This paper aims to examine the practice of Christian spirituality in the context of lung disease by reflecting on the theological significance of breath in the faith experience of those affected. This study offers a novel perspective by exploring the symbol of “breath” (pneuma) as a contextual-theological framework that is relevant to the development of a holistic model of pastoral care. This paper employs a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review, theological-pastoral reflection, and in-depth interviews with patients suffering from lung disease. The research findings indicate that breath holds pneumatological significance within the Christian tradition and serves as a symbol of God’s presence amidst the physical frailty of those afflicted. Interview data reveal that practices such as prayer, reading sacred texts like the Psalms, and pastoral care have been shown to provide spiritual peace for patients with lung disease. Consequently, this study offers a model of integrative pastoral care that combines personal spiritual disciplines (such as breath-based prayer and Scripture meditation) with community support (regular visits, home sacramental ministry, and practical assistance), which churches can adopt in their ministry to those with chronic illnesses. Therefore, Christian spirituality can serve as a source of strength for people with lung disease, while also deepening the theology of the body and suffering within the contemporary Christian faith tradition

Abstract

The development of social media has transformed the way adolescents construct and understand their self-identity. Previous studies have predominantly examined adolescent digital identity from psychological and sociological perspectives, particularly in relation to social validation, anxiety, and mental well-being, but have not yet been able to explain adolescent digital identity crises as an anthropological-theological issue related to the Imago Dei. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of adolescent digital identity from the perspective of the theology of the Imago Dei, identify the forms of identity distortion that emerge, and formulate their implications for Christian Religious Education. This research employs a qualitative library research approach using critical thematic analysis and conceptual analysis within an interdisciplinary framework integrating theology, developmental psychology, and digital media studies. The findings reveal that adolescent digital identity is shaped by algorithmic logic, a culture of visibility, and mechanisms of social validation that encourage the formation of performative and fragmented identities. From the perspective of the Imago Dei, these conditions reflect identity distortion characterized by ontological reduction, identity dislocation, and a shift in relationality from intrinsic to instrumental. These findings indicate that the identity crisis experienced by adolescents in the digital era is not merely psychosocial but also theological in nature. This study proposes the concept of “Distortion of Imago Dei” as a new interdisciplinary-theological framework for understanding adolescent identity crises in the digital era, while also serving as a foundation for reconstructing contextual Christian Religious Education

Abstract

Abstract:This study examines the internalization of Christian moral values in social media use among the digital generation through the lens of Christian education. This research is grounded in the tendency of previous studies to emphasize the negative impacts of social media—such as digital narcissism and ethical crises—without sufficiently exploring the pedagogical role of Christian education in shaping digital morality. The study aims to analyze strategies for internalizing Christian moral values—such as love, truth, responsibility, self-control, and wisdom—within social media practices. The method employed is descriptive qualitative research through a critical literature review of theological, pedagogical, and social studies related to digital media. The findings reveal that social media is not merely a space of moral risk but can also function as a medium for faith identity formation when integrated with contextual and transformative Christian education. The internalization of Christian morality requires synergy among character education, digital literacy, spiritual discipline, and faith-based communication ethics. The novelty of this study lies in the development of the concept of Christian digital spirituality as a new pedagogical paradigm within Christian education to cultivate a digital generation that is moral, critical, and responsible in its use of social media. These findings affirm that Christian education plays a strategic role in constructively responding to the challenges of digital culture.

Abstract

Church leadership today faces complex issues and challenges related to spiritual stagnation among congregations and shifting moral values. Many church leaders still prioritize administrative and managerial approaches,  so that New Testament (NT) theological principles,  which should serve as the ethical and spiritual foundation,  are often not applied consistently. The spiritual transformation of congregations is hindered by the lack of integration of Christian values into everyday leadership practices. This study aims to explore how a New Testament theological approach can serve as a conceptual framework for shaping transformative church leadership and fostering Christian value-based spiritual growth within congregations. The qualitative descriptive research method employed concludes that New Testament theology provides the philosophical foundation for church leadership,  rooted in the example of Christ and the values of love,  service,  and sacrifice. When implemented through a New Testament theological approach,  transformative church leadership is able to foster a holistic and sustainable renewal of the congregation’s spirituality. The implications of New Testament theology-based church leadership are evident in the growth of the congregation,  which is not only quantitative but also qualitative in terms of maturity of faith and commitment to service

Abstract

The post-truth era presents a crisis of truth and integrity that clearly affects Christian leadership practices, particularly regarding the integrity and morality of pastors. The relativization of truth often shifts the theological foundations of church ministry, thereby risking the loss of pastoral leadership's integrity. Even the phenomenon of digital disinformation and the erosion of leadership morality in this era underscores the urgency of reconstructing a leadership model grounded in biblical texts. This study aims to conduct an exegetical analysis of Ephesians 4:15 as a theological foundation for pastoral leadership integrity in a post-truth culture. The method employed is exegetical analysis using a grammatical-historical and theological-syntactic approach. The results of the study show that Ephesians 4:15 emphasizes the integration of truth and love as the foundation for the church’s growth toward Christ as its Head. This theological dimension affirms pastoral leadership that is character-based, integrity-based, and Christ-centered amid the challenges of the post-truth culture. Thus, the pastoral leadership paradigm built from this text is able to guide the congregation to live according to the values of God’s truth.

Abstract

The digital age has intensified value disruption, spiritual distraction, and a crisis of faith formation, challenging Christians to cultivate a mature and resilient spirituality. The Gospel of John offers a robust pneumatological foundation through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who guides believers into truth, sustains Christ’s presence, and nurtures authentic Christian faith. This study aims to reconstruct pneumatological spirituality from the Gospel of John as a theological framework for Christian faith formation in the digital age. Employing a qualitative approach through theological exegesis of John 14–16 and 20:21–23, the study critically engages the pneumatology of the Gospel of John with contemporary digital theology. The findings demonstrate that the Holy Spirit as the Paraclete embodies the continuing presence of Christ, leads believers into truth amid competing digital narratives, and forms a new creation community characterized by relational presence, spiritual discernment, and faithful witness. Based on these findings, the study proposes a pneumatological spirituality framework comprising relational presence, epistemological discernment, and a new creation community. This framework contributes a biblically grounded theological model for Christian faith formation, equipping believers to respond faithfully to the opportunities and challenges of the contemporary digital age

Abstract

The development of digital technology has shaped a generation of digital natives who influence the church’s practices, understanding of mission, and the presence of faith in the midst of digital culture. Missional ecclesiology requires reflection on its identity in order to remain faithful to the essence of the church’s mission as revealed in the Synoptic Gospels. This study aims to reconstruct missional ecclesiology in the digital native era based on a theological reading of contemporary Synoptic Gospel narratives. The method used is qualitative research through a literature review. In conclusion, Jesus’ mission pattern in the Synoptic Gospels reveals the dynamics of an incarnational, relational, and transformative proclamation of the Kingdom of God, which serves as the ecclesiological foundation for the church as a sent community. In the context of digital native anthropology, the church’s identity faces disruptions in terms of meaning, authority, and presence; therefore, the reconstruction of missionary ecclesiology must be situated within the framework of Missio Dei, which affirms that God remains the primary subject of mission in the digital space. Thus, the contemporary digital native church is called to integrate theological fidelity and practical innovation in a contextually appropriate manner, in order to continue to offer an authentic, participatory, and transformative witness in the digital age.
