Abstract

Preaching is a form of Christian ministry in which a preacher delivers the message of God's Word. The role of preaching is central in Christian ministry. The preaching role can influence the character of individuals or congregations. In this modern era, the role of preaching has been replaced by the sophistication of artificial intelligence where the use of artificial intelligence to deliver the Word of God has occurred in Germany. The use of artificial intelligence is made possible because artificial intelligence is able to replicate human intelligence and make decisions as well as explore various religious-related information in delivering the Word. However, ethically, the use of artificial intelligence results in the drying up of human spiritual experience. The use of artificial intelligence in delivering the Word replaces humans cannot bring about spiritual growth. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, the author attempts to describe the concept of preaching according to the Bible. The author also describes the sophistication of artificial intelligence. The author will examine this from ethical and appropriateness perspectives. The author states that the role of AI replacing humans in preaching is inappropriate and unethical. It is humans who should deliver the message of God's Word.

Abstract

The digital revolution has triggered disruption in various fields, including in the education system and religious practices. Contemporary Christian education is faced with the challenge of adapting to the rapid development of information technology without losing the essence of faith values. This research aims to explore the concept of digital theological literacy as a strategic approach in responding to the disruption challenge. Using a literature study method and a theological-contextual approach, this article analyses the urgency of developing digital competencies based on Christian values, both among educators and students. The results of the study show that digital theological literacy includes not only technical skills, but also critical abilities in understanding, filtering, and reflecting on digital information based on theological principles. This literacy plays an important role in forming a solid faith identity, encouraging learning transformation, and maintaining spiritual integrity in the midst of digital globalisation. Therefore, the integration of digital theological literacy in the Christian education curriculum is needed as a form of strategic and prophetic response to the era of disruption.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has a wide impact in various fields, including education and the formation of Christian teenagers' spirituality. Teenagers in the digital era face challenges in balancing the utilisation of technology with spiritual values. Christian education plays an important role in guiding teenagers to become wise users of technology while building spiritual maturity. The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of digital technology on teenagers' spirituality and the role of Christian education in overcoming challenges and taking advantage of opportunities, using a qualitative method of literature study. The results showed that digital technology can support adolescents' faith development through access to spiritual resources and digital communities, but also presents challenges such as spiritual distraction and reduced face-to-face interactions. Christian education needs to integrate technology in a balanced way to preserve faith values, with an integrative approach that proposes a digital technology-based education model that not only focuses on knowledge transfer, but also on holistically developing adolescents' spiritual maturity. This model offers a new outlook in balancing the use of technology with engagement in the faith community.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed the way humans communicate and interact, including in the life of faith and church ministry. Generation Z, who grew up in the digital world, has a different way of interacting with previous generations, more accustomed to fast, visual, and interactive information. This poses a challenge for the church to convey the gospel in a relevant manner without losing the essence of Christian teachings. This research aims to analyse effective evangelism and discipleship strategies for Generation Z through digital technology, using a qualitative approach and literature study. The results show that social media, streaming platforms, digital storytelling, and Christian influencer engagement can increase the effectiveness of church ministry. Social media also serves as a flexible discipleship space for Generation Z. However, digitalisation carries the risk of misinformation, disinformation, and reduced deep spiritual engagement. Therefore, it is important to integrate Christian values in the use of technology. In conclusion, digital technology offers great opportunities for evangelism and discipleship, but churches need to be wise in managing the risks involved. The novelty of this research lies in the use of digital technology to create interactive spaces and spiritual communities for Generation Z.

Abstract

The phenomenon of plastic surgery is increasingly prevalent in contemporary culture, in line with rising beauty standards and social pressure regarding physical appearance. The purpose of this study is to provide a correct and in-depth understanding of God's perspective on the temporary beauty of the human body and to cultivate gratitude in facing personal dissatisfaction. This research employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method to explore the meaning of plastic surgery in the context of gratitude. The findings reveal that a lack of gratitude can heighten dissatisfaction with one's body, whereas a deep sense of gratitude can serve as a strong safeguard for individuals against the pressure of worldly beauty standards and help them avoid plastic surgery for the sake of personal satisfaction. This study not only contributes academically to the field of Christian theology and ethics but also offers practical implications in guiding Christians to make decisions that align with their faith in the context of plastic surgery.
