Abstract

Every day we often hear pornographic news in the mass media, social media, TV, etc. Moreover, with the existence of Android phones, it is easy to access pornographic things, especially among teenagers. That is why there are many cases of fornication, rape due to the release of the consequences of what they watch. It is inevitable that this does not happen because it has been facilitated by cellphones for every teenager. Those who are not yet old enough to know about sex according to their age, make it too early to learn about sex. Teenagers spend more time with cellphones so that they forget to do their work because they are so engrossed. That is why, in this case, parents need to accompany their children in using gadgets so that they can be controlled later in using their Android phones. We hear and see day by day, cases of sexual harassment occur and are increasing regardless of the place whether it is at home, school, public facilities, even in places that are considered sacred. We can see when we watch TV, underage children are the victims of pornography. Not a few have to deal with the police and end up being looted. Pornographic acts are also clearly shown without wearing clothes. There is no longer a sense of shame and reluctance to show off one's body aura to the media for the sake of a morsel of food that must be risked. No thought is given to the negative impacts of all this. By watching freely, the morals of the young generation are damaged, of course the targets are children, teenagers who are still fragile in their stance. They are still easily tempted by things that smell of porn. Several years ago, the government blocked porn sites but the fact that we see is that there are still those who can access them. We do not know what caused why they can still be accessed easily. Is the government not serious enough in handling this problem? Or is it because of someone's skill in fiddling with how to find the site? We leave that question. Now the most important thing is to fortify ourselves with faith in God, for parents, accompany your children in using Android, provide positive activities at home, etc.

Abstract

This research examines the role of social theology in building spiritually-based ecological awareness amid global environmental crisis. Through a qualitative approach with literature study and content analysis methods, this research explores how religious values can contribute to environmental conservation efforts. The results show that social theology has significant potential in transforming the paradigm from anthropocentrism to spiritual eco-centrism through reinterpretation of religious doctrines and development of environmentally conscious spiritual practices. This study identifies several practical implementation models such as eco-pesantren programs and integration of environmental education in religious curricula. Despite facing challenges such as resistance to new interpretations of religious texts, the research finds great opportunities in increasing global awareness and support from mainstream religious institutions. This research recommends developing environmental theology curricula, strengthening networks between religious communities and environmental movements, and increasing research on religion-based ecological practices.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the understanding of the ONKP Resort Sibolga congregation that prayer can change everything and to what extent the role of prayer changes everything. The research method is qualitative research. The data collection technique for this study was using semi-structured interviews. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. Based on the results of interviews with the ONKP Resort Sibolga congregation about prayer being able to change everything, the congregation believes and trusts that prayer can change everything. Prayer can change everything when the congregation has faith that the prayers offered must be full of confidence that the power of prayer will occur in their lives. The congregation also said that the prayers of the righteous will be realized by God. When people pray to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then God automatically justifies the person. In addition, prayer can change everything when the congregation is obedient to the word of God. Obedience is proof that someone truly loves God. Disobedience is a rebellious attitude that God hates. God hears the prayers of those who are willing to obey the truth of the Bible, in other words disobedience is a barrier to answered prayer. (John 15:7). Prayer also has a role in calming the anxiety experienced by the congregation.

Abstract

Christian education has played a significant role in shaping individual character, thought, and morality across the globe. One of the most influential figures in this field is Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Loyola’s educational philosophy, rooted in Catholic spirituality, emphasizes discipline, character formation, and the integration of faith and intellect. The purpose of this study is to explore the theological foundations of Christian education according to Ignatius Loyola, outline the core principles of his educational thought, and examine its relevance to contemporary Christian education. Data were collected through a literature review of books and scholarly articles. Loyola’s approach, known as Ignatian education, focuses on holistic development-spiritual, intellectual, and social-embodied in the principle of "cura personalis" or care for the whole person. His model has profoundly influenced Catholic educational institutions worldwide. The findings highlight that Ignatian pedagogy not only nurtures academic excellence but also fosters a spirit of service and commitment to God. This research provides insights for educators and institutions aiming to implement Christian values in modern educational settings.

Abstract

The digital era has brought significant transformation in the lives of young people, creating both opportunities and challenges for the expression of spiritual values. This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of the values of Christus Vivit as a spiritual guide for young people in facing the challenges of the digital age. Through a literature review method, this research examines various sources related to Christus Vivit and its relevance to contemporary digital phenomena. The research findings identify four key values of Christus Vivit that are relevant for young people in the digital era: a personal relationship with the living Christ as a spiritual foundation in facing the influx of digital information; freedom and responsibility in the digital realm to filter information and adopt a critical attitude; solidarity and authentic community as an alternative to shallow virtual connections; and discernment and digital wisdom. These findings imply the need for the development of a spiritual mentoring model that integrates Christus Vivit values with digital competencies, so that young people can become wise users of technology while authentically practicing the Christian faith amid the complexities of the digital world.

Abstract

The development of digital technology provides new opportunities in the development of church youth in the modern era. Youth as a digital generation are more responsive to technology-based approaches, so the church needs to adapt its development methods. This study aims to examine the application of digital technology in youth development strategies in the church environment. The method used is descriptive qualitative through field observations, in-depth interviews with church administrators and youth, and documentation studies of digital programs that have been implemented. The results of the study show that the use of social media, spiritual podcasts, development videos, and community-based digital applications can significantly increase youth participation and involvement. However, the study also found obstacles such as limited human resources, lack of digital training, and the absence of a systematic digital strategy. In conclusion, digital technology has great potential as a youth development tool if it is designed and implemented with a mature strategy and is oriented towards the needs of today's youth.

Abstract

This study explores how popular culture influences Generation Z's understanding of Christian values, a generation raised in the digital age with unlimited information access. Generation Z possesses unique traits, including strong technological skills, multitasking abilities, and quick reactions to social issues. However, they also tend to be individualistic, less independent, and have limited social skills. Popular culture, heavily influenced by mass media and digital trends, significantly shapes the identity and values of Generation Z. This culture often promotes individualism, materialism, and hedonism, which conflict with Christian values like love, humility, and service. Consequently, Generation Z may struggle to understand and apply Christian values in their lives. The study employs a literature review method to gather information from various sources regarding the impact of popular culture on Generation Z's grasp of Christian values. Findings suggest that popular culture can obscure their understanding of these values, leading them to prefer spectacular and emotional spiritual experiences over a deeper understanding of doctrine. Therefore, Christian Religious Education (PAK) plays a crucial role in assisting Generation Z in comprehending and embodying Christian values. PAK must adopt relevant and engaging strategies, utilizing digital media and interactive learning methods. Additionally, it should foster critical thinking skills, enabling Generation Z to differentiate between Christian values and those that conflict with them.

Abstract

The era of digital disruption marked by the massive spread of hoaxes and disinformation presents a serious challenge for the church in maintaining the unity and purity of teaching. The gap between the need for a relevant leadership response and the lack of practical models that can be applied is a key problem that this study seeks to answer. This study aims to (1) analyze the essential components of an adaptive model of Christian leadership in responding to these challenges, and (2) formulate a practical framework that blends spiritual and educational strategies for church leaders. Using qualitative research methods with a literature review approach, secondary data from various scientific literature are analyzed through qualitative content analysis to build a conceptual model. The results of the study conclude that an effective leadership model is built on three main foundations: the character of a leader with integrity, in-depth knowledge of the digital and theological landscape, and practical skills in communication and education. The most effective framework is one that synergizes a spiritual approach to build the resilience of the faith of the congregation from within, with an educational approach to equip the congregation with digital literacy in the face of external threats.
