Abstract

The digital era is an era in life where progress is quite rapid and is leading to digital forms. The development of the digital era will continue to run so fast and cannot be stopped by humans. The development of communication in the digital era has also had an impact on the Catholic Church. As a fellowship of God's people who have a divine-human dimension and are on a pilgrimage on earth towards heavenly fullness, the Church's presence in the world aims to be a sacrament of God's salvation so that everyone experiences divine grace that gives them life in abundance. The development of digital technology in this century has of course had an impact on the Catholic Church. Believers need to form digital communities that have special facilities that make them different from other communities, on the other hand stating that in the field of religious expression and praxis, the virtual world has offered a medium for people to gather in the name of faith and spirituality, so that existence Today's digital technology is not seen as a problem. Believers must understand well the positive side of changing times and must have technological competence to be able to create good quality. In this digital era, technology is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, technology helps connect people and facilitate various aspects of life. But on the other hand, excessive dependence on technology can have an impact on individuals, one of which is alienation from the people around them. In the turbulent modern era, building a strong Catholic faith is like erecting a strong fortress to protect and grow the faith of the people. This faith becomes a forum for strengthening each other, spreading the love of Christ, and facing various challenges of the times. Facing the challenges of the times, namely social and cultural changes, where strong Catholic faith and teachings can help Catholics to face various social and cultural changes that occur in the modern era. Catholic teachings provide a strong moral and spiritual foundation for Catholics to remain firm in their faith and Christian values.

Abstract

This research aims to discuss compassion as the spirituality of discipleship of God and readiness to serve disaster victims. In this modern world, humans live with sophisticated technology and communication tools, as well as internet access which is increasingly easy for anyone to do. Humans have contributed many things based on their knowledge and skills obtained from the development and progress of the times, but sometimes humans actually act arrogant, selfish, indifferent and jealous of other people's happiness. This fact shows that humans are experiencing a crisis in all aspects of life and are no longer merciful. This research uses qualitative methods with library research to collect reference materials in the form of books, Church documents and articles related to the title of this thesis. Many people think that compassion is only for those who need it. Even though compassion is more than sentimental attitudes and feelings. For this reason, the aim of writing this thesis is to offer the meaning and significance of compassion in human life. Compassion is an attitude of deeply feeling the suffering of others, namely sympathy, empathy, pity, care, generosity, simplicity of heart, humility and building a culture of compassion. The principle of mercy is to love God and fellow human beings as oneself.

Abstract

Human being having a conscience and freedom to determine what is good and performing actions according to God's will. In today's era, phenomena show that human being sometimes ignores the Divine law and do not listen to their conscience. These acts of infidelity drive a human being to fall into sin and live contradict according to God's will. However, God through the Holy Church always gives the human being the opportunity to revert to God. The Church provides the special opportunity to repent, explicitly through the Sacrament of Reconciliation . It was emphasized by St. John XXIII in the Encyclical Paenitentiam Agere. The method used is a literature study, especially studying the Encyclical Paenitentiam Agere. The results of the study show that the spirit of repentance as proclaimed in the Encyclical Paenitentiam Agere says that only through repentance the Christians will nurture in the perfection of life. The repentance according to St. John XXIII is a repentance of the body and soul. The conclusion of this study confirms that inner repentance is a repentance carried out by Christians through a good confession of sins and taking part in the Eucharistic sacrifice and receiving holy communion. Inner repentance is realized in everyday life through daily actions called external repentance. By doing external and internal repentance, the Christians will obtain true happiness and salvation from God.

Abstract

This research aims to examine servant leadership and faithfulness in ministry in the postmodern era based on 2 Timothy 4:1-8. Using a qualitative method, it explores some of the scriptural texts and identifies the principles of leadership and faithfulness in ministry taught in Paul's letter to Timothy. Through this analysis, this study found that a servant of God's faithfulness in ministry must be based on the unchanging teaching of God's Word, even though the world around him continues to evolve in plurality and relativism. The main challenge for spiritual leaders is to maintain the truth of the Bible as the only authority in the face of various views that prioritize subjective and contextual truth. In the midst of postmodern trends that tend to relativize truth, spiritual leaders need to focus on the integrity of biblical teachings that are not influenced by culture or external pressures. In addition, this study emphasizes the importance of spiritual leaders' strategies in discerning sound teachings from heresies, emphasizing the need to understand the signs of heresies, such as rejection of biblical authority or interpretations that do not fit the historical and cultural context of the Bible. Spiritual leaders also need to remind congregants of their identity as citizens of the eternal Kingdom of God, by ensuring that they remain firmly grounded in the unshakeable truth of the Bible. The results of this study provide insights for spiritual leaders in facing the challenges of ministry in the postmodern era and provide guidelines for congregants to remain faithful to the teachings of the Bible amidst the development of a changing worldview as well as directing them to remain firm on the unshakeable foundation of biblical truth to maintain faithfulness to the true teachings of the Bible.

Abstract

This paper is based on the author's concern over the increasingly rampant events of human dignity decline. More of people are less aware of the nobility of their dignity as Imago Dei. The purpose of this writing is to make each individual aware himself as an individual who is able to respect and fight for their own dignity and the others, while also stopping damaging their own dignity and the dignity of others. The method used is a literature review. The author collects, reads, and understands various relevant sources and compiles them into a scientific paper. The results of this research illustrate that humans have a very noble dignity based on their identity as Imago Dei. Humans are bestowed by God with various privileges, such as mind, consciousness, and free will. Therefore, God entrusts humans as His co-workers in the work of creation, and God even gives them the mandate to maintain and guard other creations. Based on their existence, humans live in a trilogy of relationships, namely relationships with God, others, and the universe. Because humans, by their nature, humans are social beings and are the pinnacle of all of God's creations, everyone must respect their own dignity and that of other humans. Humans should live in an atmosphere of universal brotherhood, tolerance, dialogue and peace with each other and the universe.

Abstract

The doctrine of the Holy Spirit or pneumatology is an important pillar in Christian theology which includes an understanding of the person, nature and work of the Holy Spirit as part of the Holy Trinity. This study highlights various aspects of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in the Christian tradition, both in the Old and New Testaments, which identifies the role of the Holy Spirit as a helper, comforter, and source of divine truth and wisdom. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with content analysis techniques, where main themes such as the characteristics, designations and functions of the Holy Spirit are analyzed from various literary sources. The results of the study show the importance of understanding the presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians, where the Holy Spirit acts as a source of spiritual strength that strengthens people to live lives that are faithful to the teachings of Christ. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of theological thinking related to pneumatology and broaden readers' insight into the meaning and function of the Holy Spirit in the Christian faith.

Abstract

This article discusses the role of missions in the development of Christian churches in the world. Church development in question is the growth of the congregation's faith and the addition of souls in church members through repentance and belief in Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. Especially in changing times which have become modern with the development of technology, there are many challenges to the faith faced by churches, so the message of the Gospel is needed to support, strengthen and maintain the faith. This mission was started by Jesus Christ through His ministry and must be carried out because it is considered the great commission conveyed in Matthew 28:19. In discussing this article, the author uses qualitative methods through literature research studies on books and scientific papers in the form of articles related to the discussion of this article. Aims to provide new insights for readers and appeal to Christian churches to continue carrying out evangelistic missions using various methods both online and using technological media.
