Abstract

Aristotle’s conception of εὺδαιμονια is identical with Psalmist’s (Psalm 1) conception of happiness vizἐνέργεια. According to Aristotle, human’s εὺδαιμονια is ἐνέργεια of the rational element of a human being by its ἀρετη viz. ἀρίστην καὶ τελειοτάτην. Psalmist, on the other hand, shows that happiness is contemplating Torah every moment. In this paper, I will show that we can understand Psalmist’s conception of happiness more accurately by using Aristotelian Ethics. I will then suggest by using Aristotelian reading on Psalm I that Christian Education viz. Theology should pursue εὺδαιμονια as its end.AbstrakKonsep εὺδαιμονια Aristoteles dan kebahagiaan Pemazmur (Mazmur I) memiliki kesamaan pada definisi bahwa εὺδαιμονια dan kebahagiaan  adalah sebuah ἐνέργεια. Menurut Aristotle, εὺδαιμονια manusia adalah ἐνέργεια elemen rasional manusia bersesuaian dengan ἀρετη-nya, secara spesifik ἀρίστην καὶ τελειοτάτην. Sementara itu Pemazmur menunjukkan bahwa formulasi kebahagiaan adalah merenungkan Torah sepanjang waktu. Dalam tulisan ini, saya ingin menunjukkan bahwa dengan menggunakan kacamata Etika Aristotle kita bisa memahami konsep kebahagiaan Pemazmur secara lebih mendalam. Melalui pemahaman Mazmur I secara Aristotelian pula saya menyarankan bahwa pendidikan Kristen, secara khusus Teologi harus menjadikan εὺδαιμονια sebagai tujuan akhirnya.

Abstract

During its development, generation Z Christians experience moral decadence because they want to fulfill their own interests. in various ways they try to have their wishes fulfilled and they unwittingly neglect their spiritual growth. This also cannot be separated from the attention of the church to provide guidance for generation Z Christians and to grow the efficiency of the church in the world. Departing from these facts, this research was made to become a guide for practitioners of guiding church members in increasing the spiritual intelligence of generation Z Christians through pastoral counseling. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with literature studies obtained from print and electronic sources. From this research, it is found the important role of pastoral counseling which is very effective to be applied for the formation of Z Christian generation. This result is supported by the efforts made in pastoral counseling of generation Z Christians, which are not coercive and do not create dependence on others in increasing their spiritual intelligence. Therefore, the church needs to seek pastoral counseling to increase the spiritual intelligence of Generation Z Christians in the congregation.

Abstract

Becoming God's Servant is a special call from God. God's Servant is the call of the congregation to someone who is considered to have godliness in his faith and actions of daily life. Whereas the word "servant" in Greek doulos, is a slave, it means that the servant is bound. The task of God's Servant has an important role in the growth of the church. In the journey of ministry, it is not always smooth faced by the Lord's servants, there are congregations that are growing spiritually mature and there are also those who withdraw from the ministry even leaving the church looking for another church or pastor. God's servant must be disappointed and even feel like a failure in the ministry. The same thing happened to Jesus when His disciples left Him because of his harsh words in rebuking His disciples. How is the attitude of the servants of God in facing the church who resigned in the service in terms of John 6:60-71. After describing it in the discussion, it was found that Jesus' attitude toward the students was firm and caring and loving the students. So, the attitude of God's Servant to the church who left the ministry is to love, pray for, make as a fellow worker of God not an enemy. Thus, God's servants continue to serve with enthusiasm despite many challenges in the ministry. AbstrakMenjadi Hamba Tuhan merupakan panggilan khusus dari Allah. Hamba Tuhan adalah jemaat panggilan kepada seseorang yang dipandang memiliki kesalehan dalam imannya dan tindakan hidup sehari-hari. Sedangkan kata "hamba" dalam bahasa Yunani doulos, adalah budak, artinya adalah hamba yang terikat. Tugas Hamba Tuhan memiliki peran penting dalam pertumbuhan jemaat. Dalam perjalanan pelayanan yang dihadapi oleh hamba Tuhan tidak selalu mulus, ada jemaat yang semakin dewasa secara rohani dan ada juga jemaat yang mundur dari pelayanan bahkan meninggalkan gereja mencari gereja atau gembala yang lain. Hamba Tuhan pasti kecewa bahkan merasa gagal dalam pelayanan. Hal yang sama dialami oleh Yesus ketika para muridNya meninggalkan Dia karena perkataanya yang keras dalam menegur murid-muridNya. Bagaimana sikap hamba Tuhan dalam menghadapi jemaat yang mundur dalam pelayanan ditinjau dari Yohanes 6:60-71. Setelah diuraikan dalam pembahasan, maka ditemukan sikap Yesus menghadapi para murid yaitu tegas dan peduli serta mengasihi para murid. Jadi, sikap Hamba Tuhan kepada jemaat yang meninggalkan pelayanan adalah mengasihi, mendoakan, menjadikan sebagai kawan sekerja Allah bukan musuh. Dengan demikian hamba Tuhan tetap melayani dengan semangat sekalipun banyak tantangan dalam pelayanan.

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of writing this article is to find out what strategies are used by the church in growing the congregation's interest in worship. This paper departs from the problems found by the author since serving the congregation in Kalimantan. The seriousness of the congregation in worship so far has been very insignificant, as a result the growth of the congregation's faith has decreased as explained in this article. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research method by collecting data through interviews, empirical data, literature such as books and journal articles that can be trusted. The results obtained in this study are that the church must have a discipleship approach strategy, a realizational model and a counseling model. The three methods proposed by this author are very effective and significant in motivating the congregation to see the various problems experienced by the congregation, especially in worshiping in the church. Thus, the strategy used by the church so far needs a breakthrough because this will determine the congregation's interest in worship. Keywords:  Strategy, Church, Congregation Interest, Worship, Discipleship

Abstract

The aim of this research is to provide suggestions on how the church should strive to guide young people so that they experience spiritual growth. This research was conducted with a literature study method and a qualitative approach. This is because young people are the spearhead in determining the growth of the church, both in ministry and as a successor in the church itself. However, the problem that occurs today is the lack of guidance for young people, both from the role of spiritual coaches, especially in the formation of parents. So that this results in a decline in the spirituality of young people. The training of young people can be done by the church by teaching the truth of God's Word, instilling fear of God, setting the right example, holding a community worship program, teaching them to respect others. So that the results obtained from this coaching effort are able to increase the spiritual growth of young people, especially in the correct knowledge and fellowship of the Lord Jesus so that they are able to become people who can be role models and become a continuation of ministry in the church and become a blessing for everyone around them.
