Abstract

 Education in congregations is often characterized by the lack of exemplary Christian teachers who teach, foster, and educate them. This example is closely related to the professionalism of Christian teachers in fostering congregations in a consistent, dynamic, effective, and enjoyable way. The professionalism of Christian teachers in teaching and nurturing congregations is the key to bringing the congregation to the perfection of life like Christ. The life and character of the Christian religion teacher greatly influence the life and character of the congregation. A Christian teacher who teaches and nurtures congregations must have a spiritual experience with God have the ability of knowledge, skills, and ability to use methods in the learning process. The method of fostering congregations is one of the most professional teachers of Christianity in fostering a very strategic congregation. Because with this ability, it is possible for Christian religious teachers to be able to bring influence to the quality and spiritual life of the church. Thus, the church has the knowledge of faith in the truth of God, which is able to understand the truth well, has a character like the Lord Jesus Christ, which is to love and serve and have the values of Christ that are applied in everyday life. AbstrakPendidikan dalam jemaat seringkali diwarnai dengan kurangnya keteladanan guru agama Kristen yang mengajar, membina dan mendidik mereka.

Profesionalisme guru agama Kristen dalam mengajar dan membina jemaat menjadi kunci dalam membawa jemaat kepada kesempurnaan hidup seperti Kristus. Kehidupan dan karakter guru agama Kristen sangat mempengaruhi kehidupan dan karakter jemaat. Seorang guru agama Kristen yang mengajar dan membina jemaat harus memiliki pengalaman rohani dengan Tuhan, memiliki pengetahuan, keterampilan dan kemampuan menggunakan metode dalam proses pembelajarannya. Metode dalam membina jemaat salah satu keprofesionalan guru agama Kristen dalam membina jemaat yang sangat strategis. Sebab dengan kemampuan ini, maka dimungkinkan guru agama Kristen mampu membawa pengaruh terhadap kualitas dan kehidupan rohani jemaat. Dengan demikian, jemaat memiliki pengetahuan iman akan kebenaran Allah, yakni mampu memahami kebenaran dengan baik, memiliki karakter seperti Tuhan Yesus Kristus, yaitu mengasihi dan melayani serta memiliki nilai-nilai Kristus yang diterapkannya dalam hidup sehari-hari

Abstract

The character has been the main thing of someone succeeds in his life actualization. One who has an excellent intelligent could gain success if only he has good character. Character disorder has attacked anybody, from children, teenager, and adult that bring out various disorder and harmful behaviors. It is caused by unknowing, denying and the missapplicationing of the self-identity. A teenager who is used to be the self-identity explorer is the susceptible group of neither disorder character nor identity. Being a Christian teenager isn’t good enough without having a clear understanding of his self-identity as a follower of Christ. Due to the understanding of that self-identity, the Christian teenager could have good character by reflecting Christ through all of his life.AbstrakKarakter menjadi titik penentu keberhasilan seseorang dalam pengaktualisasian kehidupannya. Seseorang yang memiliki kecerdasan intelektual yang tinggi pun hanya dapat berhasil jika memiliki karakter yang berkualitas. Krisis karakter dialami oleh semua orang, mulai dari anak-anak, remaja hingga orang dewasa, yang memunculkan berbagai perilaku menyimpang serta merugikan diri sendiri maupun orang lain. Salah satu penyebab terjadinya krisis karakter ini adalah karena ketidaktahuan, penyangkalan dan penyalahgunaan identitas diri. Remaja yang identik dengan pencarian jati diri adalah kelompok yang paling rentan mengalami krisis karakter yang disebabkan oleh krisis identitas diri ini. Menjadi seorang remaja Kristen tidaklah cukup tanpa sungguh-sungguh memahami identitas dirinya sebagai seorang pengikut Kristus. Sebab hanya dengan memahami identitas diri itulah, remaja Kristen akan mampu memiliki karakter yang berkualitas yakni karakter Kristus yang direfleksikan melalui seluruh kehidupannya.

Abstract

Pemuda merupakan generasi yang hidup di era digital dan mereka sangat mahir dalam menggunakan perangkat digital serta selalu update dengan perkembangan teknologi yang ada saat ini. Perkembangan teknologi tidak bisa dihindarkan oleh siapapun, termasuk gereja. Oleh karenanya perlu adanya inovasi serta pemanfaatan teknologi di dalam pelayanan gereja. Pemanfaatan teknologi akan memudahkan gereja dalam menjangkau para pemuda, namun sebaliknya jika gereja anti dengan perkembangan teknologi, maka kemungkinan para pemuda gereja akan menarik diri dan susah terlibat dalam kegiatan gereja. Tentunya gereja harus memanage hal ini agar pemuda, yang merupakan generasi penerus gereja, tetap berakar, bertumbuh dan berbuah di dalam komunitas gereja. Sayangnya hal ini masih belum disadari oleh semua gereja. Untuk itu, melalui artikel ini penulis akan mencoba melihat tantangan-tantangan apa yang dihadapi oleh gereja di dalam memanage PAK pemuda di era digital. Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut, maka penulis menggunakan metode penelitian pustaka, yakni membandingkan berbagai literatur, baik itu buku-buku, artikel, maupun jurnal yang berkaitan dengan pembahasan di atas. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk memberi pemahaman sekaligus menyadarkan gereja akan pentingnya manajemen PAK pemuda yang kontekstual dengan kehidupan/kebiasaan mereka.

Persahabatan menurut pengertian umum hanyalah didasarkan karena kasih antar manusia.  Sedangkan persahabatan menurut Alkitab tentunya ada dasar firman Tuhan yang harus dilakukan dalam persahabatan itu atau adanya daya tarik rohani antara satu sama lain yang mana daya tarik rohani ini tentnya datangnya dari Tuhan.  Dalam jurnal ini penulis akan menulis apa itu persahabatan menurut Alkitab dan relevansinya pada masa kini.  Di sini penulis mengangkat dua kisah persahabatan yang sangat dikenal di dalam Alkitab yakni persahabatan antara Daud dan Yonatan serta Persahabatan antara Maria dan Elisabet.  Metode yang dipergunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan memperhatikan literatur-literatur. Hasil yang didapat adalah ditemukan bahwa persahabatan adalah hubungan antara dua orang atau lebih, dimana mereka memiliki ikatan kasih di dalam Tuhan yang sama yang didalamnya ada saling memperhatikan, meneguhkan, empati, rela berkorban segala sesuatu termasuk nyawa, saling melindungi satu sama lain dan tidak ada kecemburan.
