Abstract

This research is motivated by various factors that have been limited within the boundaries of the problem, namely it was found that not all Sunday School Teachers carry out good training practices, it was observed that not all Sunday School Teachers were role models and it was found that not all Sunday School Children experienced optimal spiritual growth. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of Sunday School teachers' guidance and exemplary behavior based on James 3:1-12 on the spiritual growth of Sunday School children in churches in the Bandar Lampung area. The method used by the researcher in data collection efforts is quantitative, where questionnaires are the primary method, supported by literature review and observation methods. The population in this study consists of 80 Sunday School teachers in churches in the Bandar Lampung area. Based on the results of the multiple regression test between the three variables, it is known that there is an influence of Sunday School teachers' guidance and exemplary behavior based on James 3:1-12 (X1, X2) on the spiritual growth of Sunday School children in churches in the Bandar Lampung area (Y) with an R Square of 0.789 or 78.9%, which falls into the high category. If the influence of variable X on Y with an R Square of 78.9%, then there are still 21.1% other influencing factors. Thus, the results of the hypothesis proposed by the researcher, "it is suspected that there is an influence of Sunday School teachers' guidance and exemplary behavior based on James 3:1-12 collectively on the spiritual growth of Sunday School children in churches in the Bandar Lampung area," have been proven and accepted.

Abstract

The increasing number of problems experienced by married couples who do not have children among Christians such as loss of harmony, family violence, infidelity and divorce are important concerns for pastors in the Church. This study uses reference books and articles found through the internet with literature review and bibliological descriptive methods, namely making the Bible as a solution to solve problems that occur. So the conclusion is that household problems must be solved by applying a Christian counseling model based on the principles of Birth Theology. The model is a model of believing with a firm faith, a model of surrendering and repenting to God, a model of making a vow to ask God.  The research results showed that through understanding the Theology of Birth which refers to understanding the concept of God as the initiator of birth, God helps the birth process and the birth of a child is a gift from God, and God is also the one who has power over married couples who do not or do not have children. However, Allah is willing to take into account efforts to have children. Thus, through Birth Theology with an approach to the model of faith, surrender, or repentance, even making a vow to God in the hope of obtaining it.

Abstract

Democracy that was once considered the best political system created by humans, now its image is fading. The picture of democracy today is getting bleaker. Societal polarization, conflict, the politicization of religion, excessive fanaticism, violence, victims, and various other negative phenomena, seem to have integrated into today's democratic practices. The election that should be a Democratic Party, a people's sovereignty party, has become a frightening and worrying moment. Even though today's world really needs political policies that are able to overcome various complicated problems such as: environmental damage, injustice, pandemics, etc. And in fact, democracy is the political system used by the majority of the world's countries today. What will happen to the world if democracy loses its ability to produce the common good (bonum commune)? What if democracy only becomes a tool for elite groups? And it is detrimental to many people? And what is also important to study, what is the role of religion in this concern? Secularization, which separated religion from politics in the past, has limited religion in the private sphere and politics in the public sphere. This situation is slowly turning into a vicious circle. The grim picture of politics is increasingly driving religion away from him. Even though, religion is a moral agent that is needed as a guide for good politics. The distancing of religion makes politics even more bleak, and so on. Given the urgency of this situation, this research was conducted. The research is aimed at finding alternative solutions that can stop this vicious circle. The research was conducted through a literature study, by tracing the situation of democracy and religion at this time. The religious approach used in this study is a Christian religious approach. The thesis of this research is that religion, which is professed by the majority of the world's population today, is actually an antidote to the gloomy picture of today's democracy.

Abstract

Divorce is rarely seen as a way out of various household problems. Divorce is not the right solution to resolve the conflict; of course, a divorce can hurt others, especially the child; the divorce of parents can cause trauma to the child. In fact, the wounds that a child may have suffered will probably continue to carry it to adulthood; The impact on each child may vary, depending on the child's age at the time of the parents' divorce, the circumstances of the divorce, and the personality of the child. When a divorce occurs within a family, the child is the primary victim who is most affected by the negative impact of the divorce; The purpose of this writing is to explain that divorce is a phenomenon of social change taking place in today's society; divorce results in damage to relationships between family members that do not support the growth and development of the child; divorces cause family dysfunction; divorcing creates an emotional distance between the child and the parent; and divorce can also result in trauma to the child. The author uses a qualitative method to analyze this research problem using interviews and literature.

Abstract

This study examines the psychological foundation of Christianity and its relevance in contemporary Christian education. The development of a Christian institution cannot be separated from the concept of education in the institution. Education is an important reference in seeing, directing and bringing about a very significant and maximum change. In the midst of the rise of education today, Christian education is a type of education that should be taken into account, because it has contributed to building the morals, character and faith of many people. Therefore, Christian education needs to be continuously developed in such a way that it increasingly produces maximum positive impacts. By using a descriptive qualitative method, through a literature study approach, the research can describe the importance of psychological foundations as one of the elements that are very important to consider and apply in the process of Christian education. There are many people who have not implemented Christian education seriously and appropriately in contemporary Christian education. This can be seen from the morals, character and faith of some of the students who are not getting better, tend to stagnate and even decline. Researchers feel the need to link the progress of Christian education with building a strong psychological foundation so that it can be used as a reference in building an ideal and maximum Christian education. It is hoped that through this research, Christian educators can be equipped with the matter of bringing educational psychology into Christian education intelligently and politely, so that it effectively and efficiently brings about a very significant and maximum change for a Christian educational institution. The principles in this presentation will formulate several psychological foundations that are the foundations in Christian education.

Abstract

The church stands by the conditions of natural communities. Nevertheless, the church in history must accept that technology is also present. In this case, the church must make technology a companion, not an opposition. The church works with technology, one of which produces communities on social media. This research used the theory of Tim Hutchings and Irwyn L. Ince Jr. on ecclesiology. This research aimed to analyze virtual communities in the online world and natural communities in the offline world as different needs by revealing the closeness of the church and social media in the digital era. The method was qualitative research with a literature review and observation. The researchers found that the relationship between the church and social media in the digital era is not a big problem as long as people understand their priorities and conditions, namely setting themselves into virtual communities as secondary needs and natural communities as primary needs.
