Abstract

Online-based services are still mostly carried out in Pentecostal churches even though imposition of restrictions on community activities has been officially revoked by the government at the end of 2022. This online service is a challenge in itself for elderly services, most of whom are still technologically illiterate and have many sensory limitations. On the other hand, the elderly are also part of the 'church body' whose spirituality must be maintained as well as the quality of Pentecostal spirituality. Therefore, the question posed in this article is how to implement online services for the elderly based on Pentecostal spirituality. This article aims to answer basic questions about how to implement online services for the elderly within the framework of Pentecostal spirituality. Ideally the service for the elderly can be optimized by the church both internally and externally as in the spirit of Pentecostalism even though it is done online. By using a descriptive qualitative method, the author attempts to formulate procedures for implementing online-based elderly services within the framework of Pentecostal spirituality. The results of the research lead to several actions that must be implemented, namely: first, pastoral and digital assistance for the elderly. Second, the trust to involve the elderly in communion, witness, faith and prayer conviction.

Abstract

This research is motivated by concern for children who often enjoy songs that are not appropriate for their age and low education. Furthermore, in the context of Christianity, children are shown more secular shows than various spiritual shows, for example, television, YouTube, TikTok or online games which do not educate their spirituality. Most of the information conveyed in the media is entertainment which tends to be adult jokes and does not build faith. Therefore, this article aims to examine Bible story-based children's hymns in their role as a medium for teaching faith. Reflecting on Moses' song to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 32:1-43 which functions to teach faith to the second generation in the desert, the researcher also recommends today's educators to make children's songs based on Bible stories as a medium in teaching faith to children. Using qualitative method by observing and studying literature, researchers browse books, articles and other documents related to the topic of discussion. The results of this study are educators can make Bible story-based hymns a medium for teaching faith by paying attention to several things, namely: the message contained in the song must be clear, the choice of language is interesting, the lyrics are not too long and easy to memorize, and the rhythm is easy to sing.

Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to describe the benefits of contextual biblical studies for church councils in their duties among the congregation in teaching Christian doctrine which in this paper focuses on the doctrine of salvation. The method used is a qualitative method with results showing that the church assembly really needs contextual biblical studies where these results were obtained through research at the Toraja Congregation Meriba Surruk Church which showed misunderstandings by congregation members regarding the doctrine of salvation as a result of a lack of correct understanding from the church assembly.

Abstract

Ecology is a serious problem, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore it is not surprising that various theological understandings related to pandemic ecology have emerged which have influenced the understanding of Christians. Facing the various onslaughts of ecological theology in the post-pandemic period, this paper is intended to provide an explanation regarding the benefits and importance of involving contextual biblical studies in building teachings in the post-Covid-19 pandemic period related to ecotheology. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with data sources from literature review and simple observations in the field. The goal is that the theology that is built produces teachings that are in accordance with the Bible as the main source of theology. The results show that contextual biblical studies are very useful in building teachings that are based on the Bible specifically in responding to current problems regarding ecotheology. This is because contextual biblical theology does not only answer the context but uses and involves the text within it. However, far from that the result of the interpretation that is built is not only understood as a teaching but goes beyond that, namely living the interpretation by loving nature as part of God's creation.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the suitability of the human evolutionary process, as proposed by Richard Dawkins, with the concept of “becoming like Christ," especially through the use of the term "imitate" in the teachings of the Apostle Paul. This study identifies the problem that scientists, including those who believe in God, may experience difficulty reconciling their faith with the scientific evidence supporting evolution. Imitating Richard Dawkins' "meme" offers a new understanding of evolution that does not only derive from innate genetic material, but also from nature, character, and habits, as in the teachings of the Apostle Paul. This article uses a qualitative approach with narrative and literary research methods. This research concludes that religion, like science, has undergone an evolutionary process. Interdisciplinary efforts are needed to integrate the insights of historians, anthropologists, psychologists, economists, scholars, and others. Evolution conflicts can be reconciled with Richard Dawkins' views.

The results of this study explain that believers with disabilities can still carry out the mission of preaching, evangelism the same as other believers, but with different patterns and principles but with one goal, namely Jesus Christ being witnessed and preached.

A comparison of these two texts provides several characteristics of leaders who can overcome the leadership crisis and p rosper the community. Text A also provides several enriching interpretations of text B. The author finds that the story of Panglima To Dilaling enriches the story of Musa.
