Abstract

The life of prayer is a responsibility to set aside time to pray, to be disciplined in building a relationship with God, to have self-submission and reverence toward God, and to make prayer a necessity. Meanwhile, a prayer tower is an activity of prayer, praise, and worship that has taken place and is currently ongoing. The Tabernacle of David is a representation of the prayer tower in the Old Testament era, while the Upper Room is a representation of the prayer tower in the New Testament era. As believers, we need to correctly understand the theological foundations of the prayer tower, so that we do not misapply it in our Christian lives. The prayer tower is a crucial element in the harvesting of souls in these end times and serves as a trigger to help us participate in fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus.

Abstract

This article explores the reality of human trafficking in the Batam and Riau Islands region, one of Indonesia’s primary trafficking hotspots due to its strategic location as a gateway to neighboring countries. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research investigates the awareness and role of local churches in responding to this phenomenon. The findings reveal that many churches remain unaware of the theological connection between faith and social responsibility toward trafficking victims. However, some churches have begun transforming into liberating communities through ministries of restoration and advocacy. This study recommends a transformative diakonia approach and liberation theology as frameworks for the church to act as an agent of social justice in a world marked by oppression.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Christian youth as the salt and light of the world based on Matthew 5:13­-6 in the context of contemporary life. Today’s young generation faces significant challenges, including instant lifestyles, digital disruption, and moral crises. Employing a descriptive method and contextual approach, this research integrates theological interpretation with social data and youth delinquency statistics to construct a relevant and applicable understanding. The findings reveal that Jesus’ call to be the salt and light of the world remains deeply relevant, especially in shaping the character, communication, spirituality, and ethical conduct of millennials and Gen Z. This study contributes to practical theology and the spiritual formation of youth in modern times.

Abstract

Church community development programs play a crucial role in building strong faith foundations and facilitating both personal and communal transformation. This study explores how such programs can serve as vehicles for individual spiritual growth and the strengthening of congregational identity and solidarity. Using a literature review and theological practical analysis, this research finds that church formation is not only intrapersonal but also intersocial, creating a dynamic and relevant faith ecosystem amidst modern challenges. The findings highlight the need to integrate doctrinal, relational, and service oriented dimensions in church formation to effectively respond to fragmented faith and social disengagement among congregants. This study contributes novelty by presenting a holistic formation model that combines theological, psychological, and social aspects within the context of local Indonesian churches.

Abstract

This study aims to explore discipleship in the younger generation finding their true identity in Christ  in today's digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study involved young people and young adults who are active in church communities. In this case, the younger generation in searching for identity in the digital era, finding true identity in Christ through discipleship requires the development of a discipleship approach that is responsive to complex social and digital dynamics. By integrating technology and interactive learning methods, discipleship can increase the relevance and effectiveness of programs offered to the younger generation. Through proper guidance, discipleship not only helps individuals recognize their identity in faith but also equips them with the skills and beliefs to contribute positively to society. The results of the study indicate that discipleship functions as a process of spiritual learning and in-depth character building, which strengthens the values of love, sacrifice, and commitment to the teachings of Christ. Through interactions in discipleship groups, young people are empowered to share hopes and challenges, strengthen a sense of solidarity, and discuss issues that are relevant to their lives. Thus, discipleship becomes a vital tool in forming a strong identity and guiding young people towards a meaningful life in line with their calling of faith.

Abstract

This research examines the meaning of unity and care in the growth of the early church based on Acts 2:1-47. Unity and care are two fundamental values that become the main foundation in building a healthy, harmonious, and dynamic faith community. This study uses a qualitative-theological approach with literature study as the main method, combining analysis of biblical texts and review of theological literature and previous research on early church growth. The main arguments of this study include: (1) unity as the foundation of church growth that strengthens spiritual and social bonds, (2) care as a form of love that strengthens solidarity and service in the community, and (3) synergy between unity and care that encourages holistic church growth. The study results show that unity and care not only complement each other but also become an effective driving force in building a vibrant and fruitful church. The theological and practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening the fellowship of prayer, teaching the word, and sincere social service in the context of today's church. This research provides strategic recommendations for the development of the contemporary church in order to emulate the Christian values that have proven to be the key to the growth of the early church.

Abstract

Facing the complex diversity in Indonesia, enhancing interfaith tolerance is a significant challenge, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to evaluate the effects of integrating Christian ethics and religious moderation into Christian Religious Education (CRE) at Bethel Church Indonesia (GBI) Cilamaya, Karawang, West Java. The study involved 82 junior and senior high school students participating in a learning program designed to enhance tolerance through understanding the values of other religions and positive intergroup interactions. The methods used were pre and post-intervention surveys, along with classroom interaction observations to document changes in attitudes towards tolerance and cooperation among students from various religious backgrounds. The results show that after the program, 75% of students demonstrated increased understanding of other religious values, and observations revealed significant enhancements in group discussions and more inclusive social interactions. This research indicates that the integration of Christian ethics and religious moderation effectively fosters tolerance among students, suggesting that such an approach can contribute significantly to preparing the younger generation to live in a harmonious multicultural society.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji esensi dan eksistensi Tuhan dari sudut pandang doktrin agama serta filsafat, khususnya perspektif theisme dan atheisme. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan, berbagai literatur yang relevan dianalisis untuk memahami konsep ketuhanan, argumen keberadaan Tuhan, serta pandangan kritis terhadap eksistensi-Nya. Fokus utama penelitian adalah menyoroti persamaan dan perbedaan yang terdapat dalam berbagai doktrin keagamaan dan pemikiran filsafat mengenai Tuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa filsafat theisme, seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Aristoteles dan Thomas Aquinas, memperkuat keberadaan Tuhan sebagai penggerak utama, sumber segala sesuatu, dan standar tertinggi moralitas. Di sisi lain, pandangan atheisme, seperti yang diwakili oleh Friedrich Nietzsche dan Sigmund Freud, mempertanyakan dan menolak eksistensi Tuhan dengan argumen nihilisme dan psikologi. Meskipun terdapat perbedaan mendasar antara kedua pandangan tersebut, satu kesamaan dapat diidentifikasi, yaitu pengakuan terhadap pentingnya nilai moral yang menjadi inti dari konsep ketuhanan dalam peradaban manusia. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah bahwa Tuhan, baik diterima sebagai eksistensi absolut maupun ditolak, tetap menjadi sumber moralitas dan kebaikan universal. Pemahaman ini membuka ruang untuk dialog dan toleransi antar pandangan yang berbeda, dengan menempatkan nilai-nilai positif sebagai prioritas utama dalam membangun harmoni kehidupan bersama.

Abstract

Background: Supiori Regency, Papua, records an extreme poverty rate of 42.6% (2025) a paradox given its rich marine resources and historical-religious significance as the site of the first Gospel landing (1908). Technocratic development approaches have failed to address structural poverty by overlooking indigenous knowledge systems and institutional structures. Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design. Data were collected through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) minutes on the identification and mapping of the Indigenous Law Community (MHA) of West Supiori District (March 2026), in-depth interviews with key informants, participatory observation at the "Maudori for All" proclamation (February 2026), and document analysis. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model with source and method triangulation. Results: The study identified an active hierarchical indigenous institutional structure (Sup Mnuk Wabu–Mananwir) across five villages, the sasisen practice as a form of traditional Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries (TURFs), and rich cultural-religious assets yet to be sovereignly monetised. The proclamation of "Maudori for All" with 8 Prayer Points of Restoration demonstrates strategic integration of spiritual values into public policy. Conclusion: Poverty alleviation in Supiori requires three simultaneous pillars: legal recognition of maritime customary rights through indigenous peoples' legislation (Perda MHA); strengthened collaborative governance based on the Three Hearthstones model (government–customary–church); and community-based economic development positioning indigenous communities as owners, not objects, of development.

Abstract

Amos 9:11 merupakan salah satu teks penting dalam Perjanjian Lama yang berbicara tentang janji Allah untuk mendirikan kembali pondok Daud yang telah roboh. Ayat ini sering dipahami sebagai nubuatan tentang pemulihan umat Allah, namun makna teologisnya masih ditafsirkan secara beragam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji restorasi pondok Daud sebagai pemulihan akses kepada hadirat Allah melalui kajian teologis terhadap Amos 9:11 serta melihat implikasinya bagi gereja masa kini. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka (library research), melalui analisis terhadap Alkitab, buku-buku teologi, dan berbagai jurnal ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa restorasi pondok Daud tidak hanya berkaitan dengan pemulihan kerajaan Daud, tetapi juga menunjuk pada pemulihan hubungan antara Allah dan umat-Nya. Kehadiran Allah menjadi pusat dari konsep pemulihan tersebut, sehingga pondok Daud dapat dipahami sebagai gambaran dipulihkannya akses umat kepada hadirat Allah. Kajian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa pemulihan merupakan inisiatif Allah yang lahir dari kesetiaan-Nya terhadap janji-Nya. Bagi gereja masa kini, pemahaman ini menjadi pengingat untuk membangun kehidupan yang berpusat pada Allah melalui doa, pujian, dan penyembahan yang lahir dari hubungan yang dekat dengan-Nya.
