Abstract

Conflicts often occur in God's congregation, whether between leaders and leaders, congregations and leaders or between fellow congregations. If the problem is not handled properly, it can damage the fellowship of God's congregation and can even result in division. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the attitude of Jesus who humbled himself in Philippians 2:8-11 which Paul used to advise God's church in Philippi who were facing problems. The method used in this research is the library method. In this study, it was found that Jesus deliberately took the attitude of humbling himself as low as a servant until he experienced death on the cross, in which death was the most disgusting and shameful death of any death. If every leader and congregation of God follows the example of Jesus who humbled himself, of course, every problem that often arises in the fellowship can be resolved properly.

Abstract

Obedience to the Law was seen as an important part of religious life in Jewish society. Thus everyone cannot be separated from the demand for obedience to the Law, because Obedience to the Law in Judaism is very closely related to the concept of Justification (dikaios). Therefore, belief is justified based on obedience to the Law, has been entrenched in the life of the Jewish community in general, thus influencing the attitudes and behavior of the Jews towards God and His Torah from generations. The presence and teachings of the Lord Jesus received great rejection from Judaism, the presence and teachings of Jesus were considered as distorting the truth or misleading. The investigation in this paper will include Biblical Studies, namely obtaining a proper, adequate and solid understanding of a text by taking into account the position of the interpreter as a third party, so as to produce the actual truth to fulfill the purpose of the writing

Abstract

There are two main problems when Servants of God face suffering. 1) they are the source of problem; 2) they respond it by retaliating for the unfair action. This is different from Peter’s statement that said, “For it is a grace if a person is knowingly bear the suffering he does not have to.” In researching for this discussion, the interpretation method of the epistles are used, namely, the historical and cultural background of the text and the explanation based on the structure of the text. This point related to the theme of the epistle of Peter 1 which has the background of suffering because of injustice, and also related to a slave who shows that he belongs to his master. Slaves are suffering from injustice, but Christ has set an example for the suffering of injustice. In addition, the work of Christ on the cross also has aimed for the people to die to sin and live for righteousness. To die to sin is to live by doing good things, and to live for righteousness is to be given the ability to endure the suffering of injustice. For Christ’s example is universal, then God’s ministers are also should die to sin, given the ability to live in righteousness and not suffer by their own mistakes. The purpose of this research is to see abilty of the servant of God when endure the suffering of injustice.

Abstract

Gereja Kemah Injil Indonesia implements holy marriages and Christian marriages and in it pastoral care is needed so that marriage services can be carried out according to God's Word and Church regulations. Pastoral services or pastoral care that will be discussed in this section, are not pastoral care that has been implemented in the Sintang GKII, because the Sintang GKII does not yet have standard pastoral care for prospective couples who will marry in the church. Couples who do not meet the requirements of "Holy Marriage" according to GKII regulations can choose to marry with the type of "Christian Marriage" where on average each couple is married without prior premarital guidance. The methodology of this research is historical research by conducting direct interviews with key informants as eye witnesses of historical events. Through this research, we will explore history so that it can be a lesson for the next generation. Pastoral Marriage at GKII Sintang in a Christian Perspective is a form of service in the form of an evaluative descriptive study on the pastoral implementation of marriage, both premarital and pastoral in marriage. May it be able to contribute to pastors and church leaders in carrying out pastoral care at marriage.

Abstract

Abstract: The words about the cross of Christ and its preaching are an urgent part of biblical theology. The words about the cross emphasize the status of Jesus who incarnated (John 1:14) or the humble status of Jesus in the ‘likeness’ (Gk. MORPHE), of a servant (Gk. DOULOS), and being equal to humans (Phil. 2:7). Without Jesus being incarnated, there would be no teaching about the cross of Jesus in the Bible, either in descriptive, prophetic and type forms in the Old Testament and then executed through the incarnation of Jesus with the most important work in the history of human life, which is the Cross of Christ. This research examines Paul’s theological perspective regarding the preaching of the cross of Christ in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. The method used is a qualitative literature study with an exegetical description orientation. The research findings show that the cross of Christ redeems because it is based on God’s wisdom. The important thing and prominent thing that is emphasized is that the cross of Christ that Paul preaches is very exclusive, unique, and anti-thetical because it is Gospel-centered, which is the only good news, which will not be the same as any preaching of any other religion, and any philosophy.   Abstrak: Berita tentang salib Kristus dan pemberitaannya merupakan bagian urgen di dalam teologi biblikal. Berita tentang salib mengedepankan status Yesus yang berinkarnasi (Yoh. 1:14) atau status kerendahan Yesus di dalam ‘rupa’ (Yun. MORPHE), seorang hamba (Yun. DOULOS), dan menjadi sama dengan manusia (Fil. 2:7). Tanpa Yesus berinkarnasi, maka tidak ada ajaran tentang salib Yesus di dalam Alkitab, baik dalam bentuk deskriptif, nubuatan, dan tipe di dalam Perjanjian Lama dan kemudian dieksekusi melalui inkarnasi Yesus dengan karya terpenting di dalam sejarah kehidupan manusia, yakni Salib Kristus. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji bagaimana perspektif teologi Paulus tentang pemberitaan salib Kristus dalam 1 Korintus 1:18-25. Metode yang dipakai adalah kualitatif studi pustaka dengan orientasi mendeskripsikan secara eksegetikal. Adapun temuan penelitian yang didapat adalah bahwa salib Kristus itu menyelamatkan karena berbasiskan hikmat Allah. Hal penting dan menonjol yang sangat ditekankan adalah bahwa salib Kristus yang Paulus beritakan sangat bersifat atau bercirikan eksklusivitas, unik, dan anti-tesis, oleh karena berpusat pada Injil, yang merupakan kabar baik satu-satunya, yang tidak akan sama dengan pemberitaan agama manapun dan filsafat apa pun.

Abstract

Abstract: Sunday school education is often ignored and considered inferior to formal education. Even though the role of Sunday school is very important for the growth of Christian children’s faith, this article will examine the concept of Hebrew education from the Old Testament which then has an impact on today’s Sunday school services. The concept of Hebrew education is used as a model whose principles can be emulated so that Sunday school services can be carried out more optimally. Using descriptive qualitative methods through literature study, researchers found that Hebrew education is comprehensive, collaborative and theocentric. Therefore, several of these principles can be applied in Sunday school, namely first, Sunday school material must be comprehensive. Second, parental involvement is very important in children’s education at Sunday school. Third, the goal of education is to know God, carry out His commandments and live ethically. Abstrak: Pendidikan sekolah minggu seringkali diabaikan dan dianggap lebih rendah daripada pendidikan formal. Padahal peranan sekolah minggu sangat penting untuk pertumbuhan iman anak-anak Kristen. Artikel ini hendak mengkaji konsep pendidikan Ibrani dari Perjanjian Lama yang kemudian berdampak untuk pelayanan sekolah minggu masa kini. Konsep pendidikan Ibrani dipakai sebagai model yang dapat dicontoh prinsip-prinsipnya sehingga pelayanan sekolah minggu dapat dijalankan lebih maksimal. Dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi pustaka, peneliti menemukan hasil penelitian bahwa pendidikan Ibrani bersifat komprehensif, kolaboratif dan teosentris. Karena itu, beberapa prinsip ini dapat diterapkan di sekolah minggu yakni pertama, materi sekolah minggu harus komprehensif. Kedua, keterlibatan orang tua sangat penting dalam pendidikan anak di sekolah minggu. Ketiga, tujuan pendidikan yakni mengenal Allah, menjalankan perintah-Nya dan hidup beretika.

Abstract

Abstract: The discourse on Jesus is not just about His incarnation or His movement from top to bottom, but the praxis of His life, His ministry while He was in the world, interacting with many people. This article traces and discusses analytically the ministry of Jesus within the framework of Theocracy or the proclamation of the Kingdom of God that presents human values for the poor as described in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. A qualitative research approach using the content analysis method becomes my 'scalpel’ to explain Jesus as a driver of humanitarian equality, especially for the poor. The results of this study show that Jesus preached the Kingdom of God as part of God’s Theocracy for humanity to embrace, assist, and promote the values of humanitarian equality, especially for those who are oppressed both politically, economically and socially as described in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. The wisdom and wisdom of Jesus prove that Jesus is not limited to the dogmatic realm but the real praxis of life that wants to embrace others. Applying love to others is the work of God’s Theocracy that must be emulated by Jesus’ followers, including Christians today. Abstrak: Dikursus tentang Yesus tidak hanya berbicara tentang inkarnasi-Nya atau gerak-Nya dari atas ke bawah, melainkan praksis kehidupan-Nya, pelayanan-Nya di saat Ia di dunia, berinteraksi dengan banyak orang. Artikel ini menelusuri serta membahas secara analitis pelayanan Yesus dalam kerangka Teokrasi atau pewartaan Kerajaan Allah yang menghadirkan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan bagi orang-orang Miskin sebagaimana yang dijelaskan dalam Injil Matius dan Injil Lukas. Pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis isi konten menjadi ‘pisau bedah’ peneliti untuk memaparkan tentang Yesus sebagai Penggerak kesetaraan kemanusiaan khususnya bagi kaum miskin. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan, pertama bahwa Yesus memberitakan Kerajaan Allah sebagai bagian dari Teokrasi Allah bagi umat manusia untuk merangkul, mendampingi, serta mengangkat nilai-nilai kesetaraan kemanusiaan khususnya bagi mereka yang tertindas baik secara politis, maupun ekonomi, sosial sebagaimana yang dijelaskan dalam Injil Matius dan Injil Lukas. Kedua, hikmat dan kebijaksanaan Yesus adalah bukti bahwa Yesus tidak terbatas pada ranah dogmatis tetapi pada praksis nyata kehidupan yang mau merangkul sesama. Ketiga, dengan menerapkan cinta kasih terhadap sesama merupakan karya Teokrasi Allah yang harus diteladani oleh para pengikut Yesus termasuk kekristenan di zaman sekarang.

Abstract

Abstract: People with disabilities is a term used to describe people who have different levels of physical and spiritual functioning or who experience disabilities. People with disabilities have different abilities as a result of the deficiencies or disabilities they suffer from. The condition of a person with a disability can be improved with assistive devices that make him able to carry out his activities as before. When Jesus comes a second time, He will judge people who do not care about people with disabilities. This research uses a qualitative literature approach, namely a literature review study by using the interpretation method, namely the reader’s critical interpretation (reader response). The research results show that people with disabilities really need attention and empathy from family, community, government and church in their respective capacities. Families need to provide sincere attention and affection to family members who experience disabilities. Society needs to accept people with disabilities in social groups regardless of physical appearance, ethnicity, nation, race, language and so on. The government can provide support through regulations that protect the rights of people with disabilities, as well as providing various services that can be accessed by them. Furthermore, the Church accepts people with disabilities as part of His creation. Abstrak: Penyandang disabilitas adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan orang yang memiliki perbedaan level fungsi jasmani dan rohani, atau yang mengalami disabilitas. Penyandang disabilitas memiliki kemampuan yang berbeda sebagai dampak dari kekurangan atau kecacatan yang diidapnya. Kondisi seorang penyandang disabilitas bisa diperbaiki dengan alat bantu yang membuatnya menjadi mampu melakukan aktivitasnya seperti semula. Ketika Yesus datang untuk yang kedua kalinya, Ia akan menghakimi orang-orang yang tidak mempedulikan kaum penyandang disabilitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan secara kualitatif literatur, yaitu studi kajian pustaka. Dengan menggunakan metode tafsir, yakni tafsir kritik pembaca (reader respons). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyandang disabilitas sangat membutuhkan perhatian dan empaty dari keluarga, masyarakat, pemerintah dan gereja dalam kapasitasnya masing-masing. Keluarga perlu memberikan perhatian dan kasih sayang yang tulus pada anggota keluarga yang mengalami disabilitas. Masyarakat perlu menerima penyandang disabilitas dalam kelompok sosial tanpa melihat fisik, suku, bangsa, ras, bahasa dan lain sebagainya. Pemerintah dapat memberikan dukungannya melalui regulasi yang melindungi hak-hak penyandang disabilitas, juga menyediakan berbagai layanan yang dapat diakses oleh mereka. Selanjutnya, Gereja menerima penyandang disabilitas sebagai bagian dari ciptaan-Nya

Abstract

Abstract: The integration of Christian values with technological advances in Christian leadership practice is a relevant challenge in today's digital era. This research aims to explore this combination and identify practical strategies and implications in the context of Christian leadership theory and practice. The research method used is literature analysis and qualitative data collection through literature study. The research results show that, although there is conflict between Christian values and technological advances, there are also opportunities to utilize technology as a tool for strengthening community and spiritual growth. The implications of this research are the need for further research on practical strategies for overcoming these conflicts, longitudinal studies to understand the development of Christian leadership practices in adopting new technology, as well as research on how transformative Christian leadership can influence spiritual and community growth in the long term. Thus, this research makes a significant contribution to the development of Christian leadership theory and practice in the digital era.

Latar belakangnya terkait dengan pergeseran pandangan terhadap agama dalam politik dan kompleksitas isu-isu politik global yang terus berkembang. Permasalahan yang muncul adalah bagaimana keterlibatan Kristen memengaruhi pembentukan kebijakan publik, serta tanggapan mereka terhadap tantangan-tantangan politik kontemporer. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi pola perilaku politik Kristen, dampaknya dalam dinamika politik sosial, dan implikasinya terhadap stabilitas demokrasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipan, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang kompleksitas keterlibatan umat Kristen dalam politik serta menawarkan wawasan tentang langkah-langkah yang dapat diambil untuk memperkuat kontribusi positifnya dalam membangun masyarakat yang inklusif dan demokratis.

Abstract

Abstract: As a Christian education figure, Pazmino refers a lot to the discourse of incarnation in building and defining the concept of teacher. In some of his works, Pazmino uses a philosophical basis to reconstruct the concept of an incarnative teacher. How does Pazmino construct the theme of the incarnation of Christ as a concept of a Christian education teacher? This article will discuss and examine this theme using the philosophical hermeneutic method. Pazmino explicitly uses the Prologue of the Gospel of John as the initial design of his educational concept. He identifies the incarnation of Christ as the biblical basis of his education. The incarnation of Christ is the best prototype of a teacher. The incarnation of Christ is a reference to the divine action that is responsible for human pedagogical efforts. Therefore, every teacher must prioritize education that is eliminated in the incarnation of Christ. Christian Education Teachers should identify themselves transformatively and participate in God's mission.   Abstrak: Sebagai seorang tokoh pendidikan Kristen Pazmino banyak merujuk kepada wacara inkarnasi dalam membangun dan mendefinisikan konsep guru. Pada beberapa karyanya Pazmino menggunakan landasan filsafat untuk merekonstruksi konsep guru yang inkarnatif. Bagaimana Pazmino menyusun tema inkarnasi Kristus sebagai konsep guru pendidikan Kristen? Artikel ini akan membahas dan mengkaji tema ini dengan metode hermeneutik filosofis. Secara eksplisit Pazmino menggunakan Prolog Injil Yohanes sebagai desain awal konsep pendidikannya.  Ia mengidentifikasi inkarnsi Kristus sebagai dasar biblis pendidikannya. Inkarnasi Kristus merupakan prototipe terbaik seorang guru. Inkarnasi Kristus menjadi rujukan terhadap tindakan ilahi yang bertanggung jawab pada upaya pedagogis manusia. Sebab itu setiap guru harus mengedepankan pendidikan yang berakar pada inkarnasi Kristus. Guru Pendidikan Kristen patut mengidentifikasikan dirinya secara transformatif dan partisipasif pada misi Allah
