Abstract

This study discusses child adoption in the context of Christian theology, focusing on the opinions of the congregation of HKBP Kana Resort Kana Duri. Child adoption is an effort to provide affection and protection to children who do not have biological parents or who have been abandoned, in accordance with the values of love and acceptance taught in the Bible. In the Christian view, adoption is not only seen as a social solution, but also has a deep theological dimension, reflecting the relationship between God and His people as Father and His children. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to explore the congregation's views on child adoption and the challenges they face in implementing this practice. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature studies, which were then analyzed to understand the theological meaning of child adoption and the congregation's opinions on adoption. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the problems that exist are in the personal and social readiness of the congregation, lack of education, and the absence of special assistance from the church as an institution of faith that should be a protector and director in making ethical and moral decisions for its congregation.

Abstract

Social changes driven by globalization and advancements in digital technology have led to a shift in the values surrounding human sexuality, from being sacred to becoming increasingly liberal and permissive. This phenomenon has triggered an identity crisis, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to explore the meaning of self-control as presented in Sirach 5:2 and to evaluate its relevance as an ethical and theological foundation in addressing the contemporary crisis of sexuality. The method employed is a literature study using a qualitative-theological approach and textual analysis of Sacred Scripture. The findings indicate that self-control in Sirach 5:2 is not merely the suppression of desire but an expression of moral and spiritual maturity grounded in wisdom and divine grace. In light of Christian ethics, this virtue shapes responsibility, chastity, and fidelity within human relationships. Thus, self-control becomes a fundamental basis for building personal integrity and a dignified direction of life amidst a permissive cultural current.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the perspectives of pastors from the Punguan Kristen Batak Church (GPKB) regarding disability-friendly services for congregants. As a faith community, the church has a significant responsibility to create an inclusive environment where every member, including those with disabilities, is accepted and served equally. People with disabilities are seen not only as part of human diversity but also as part of the whole body of Christ, and therefore, their service must be prioritized in church life. This research uses a qualitative descriptive analytical approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with six pastors from GPKB districts in Indonesia to explore theological understanding, practical experience, and challenges in serving congregants with disabilities. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify patterns of views, service practices, and obstacles that arise. The results show that 84% of pastors have a positive perspective on inclusive service and support congregants with disabilities. However, the study also found challenges such as inadequate physical facilities, minimal service strategies, and limited theological understanding of disabilities. In conclusion, a paradigm shift, capacity building for pastors, and ongoing institutional support are needed to create an inclusive and disability-friendly church.

Abstract

Women in traditional societies often face complex challenges, particularly within patriarchal social systems. In Batak Toba culture, women are frequently placed in subordinate positions and regarded merely as complements within the household. However, social realities reveal a different dynamic, where women are able to emerge as key actors in sustaining family economies while also preserving cultural identity. This study aims to examine the resilience of female ulos weavers in Siraja Hutagalung Village from a socio-theological perspective. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with five main informants who work as ulos weavers, while secondary data came from literature studies related to women’s resilience issues. The analysis refers to resilience theory and gender role theory. The findings show that female ulos weavers hold a central role in family life. Their weaving is not only a cultural product but also symbolizes spiritual strength, loyalty, and independence. Thus, women’s resilience is not merely a social reality but also a tangible expression of spirituality embedded in daily life.

Abstract

Many phenomena are present and occur in human life, both those with major impacts and those with relatively small impacts, and of course the impact of these will also be felt well. The environmental crisis remains a trending topic in the global scope due to the impact and impact of the deteriorating environmental conditions itself. The natural crisis has a very large impact, pressuring the life of humanity in the process of survival. Not only does it impact humans, but there is a large tendency to impact cosmological concepts. The threat to humanity from this phenomenon as an ecological crisis, demands a strong and good contribution in striving for nature in the context of preserving and restoring nature itself. It cannot be denied that the role of nature is truly enormous for human life, so it is very necessary to take action that can protect and care for nature, not the opposite to exploit nature itself. A local conceptual-based action that involves the community itself is a solution in monitoring and restoring the condition of nature to the present. Environmental ethics need to be built within the scope of society in a context that is directly in contact with nature, which is none other than the elements of nature itself. Communities must take swift action to address this visibly deteriorating natural environment. This study employed a qualitative research method with a literature review approach. The study found that the concept of community democracy, in its efforts to maintain justice among living things, has a positive impact as a collective contribution to protecting and restoring nature in its crisis context.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Christian mission by the Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM) in the development of agriculture/livestock and education for students of IAKN Tarutung, which also focuses on evangelism that introduces Christ to the communities and students being served. CVM, as an international Christian mission organization, carries out services that combine spiritual and practical approaches, particularly among communities that also include IAKN Tarutung students, through technical assistance, training, community empowerment, and educational support. This research uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive analysis approach, utilizing data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation from CVM workers, scholarship recipients, and the communities involved in the program. The theoretical basis of this research refers to the thoughts of David J. Bosch, who asserts that mission is an attribute of God (missio Dei) and the church is merely an instrument sent to carry it out. This also underpins the view that CVM's mission is not merely evangelism, but also practical service that addresses the real needs of society. The research findings indicate that CVM implements a holistic mission that focuses not only on evangelism but also on economic empowerment through agricultural and livestock training, improving the quality of human resources through formal and non-formal education, and building social and spiritual relationships within the community. This research emphasizes that CVM's application of the Christian mission is capable of providing positive transformation that encompasses social, economic, educational, and spiritual aspects of the community. This finding is expected to serve as a reference for the development of Christian mission models in other regions with relevant and contextual approaches.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of servant leadership based on Matthew 20:20-28 and its relevance to the leadership of pastors in the Pakpak Dairi Protestant Christian Church (GKPPD). The background of this research stems from the dynamics of church leadership, which still faces challenges in realizing the values of service, humility, and relational closeness as taught by Jesus Christ. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach, focusing on the analysis of biblical texts and literature on biblical theology, Christian leadership, and pastoral spirituality. The results of the study show that Jesus introduced a leadership paradigm that is different from the world's pattern, namely leadership that is rooted in service, sacrifice, and love. This principle requires spiritual transformation in church leaders so that their ministry reflects the character of Christ. In the context of GKPPD, the application of servant leadership is important because of the influence of local culture, which emphasizes social structure, and the congregation's need for authentic, relational, and humble leaders. This research confirms that servant leadership is not only theological but also contextual in responding to the challenges of church life, as well as providing theoretical and practical contributions in building a leadership paradigm that is in line with the Gospel and relevant to the local church today.

Abstract

This research  examines the transfiguration of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels, with particular emphasis on the theological distinctiveness of the Gospel of Mark. The study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, focusing on narrative analysis, textual comparison, and theological reflection. The analysis shows that although Matthew, Mark, and Luke present the transfiguration event, each Gospel offers distinctive features in wording, narrative structure, and theological emphasis. Mark presents the transfiguration in a concise form, portraying Jesus as the messianic Son of God and as a prophet like Moses, while highlighting the apocalyptic and symbolic aspects of this divine encounter. From Mark’s perspective, the transfiguration serves as a prefiguration of Jesus’ resurrection and a revelation of His messianic identity, which in the Greco-Roman context may be understood as apotheosis—the elevation of a human into divinity. This study affirms that the transfiguration in Mark is not only a historical event but also a theological event that encompasses eschatological and christological dimensions, as well as a reflection on divine hiddenness. In conclusion, the transfiguration is understood as a manifestation of Jesus’ hidden glory within suffering, confirming that the path to resurrection and glory must pass through the cross. This article contributes to biblical and theological studies by demonstrating how Mark articulates a unique christology, one that remains relevant for contemporary Christian faith and opens avenues for further exploration through apocalyptic theology and scriptural intertextuality.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the absence of partua ibale (male congregants who are heads of households) in attending Sunday services at GKPPD Simbruna Village, Siempat Rube District, Pakpak Bharat Regency. The research employed a qualitative method, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving several congregants, church leaders, and community members. The findings reveal that absenteeism among partua ibale is influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include a lack of spiritual motivation, boredom due to lengthy and less engaging sermons, low awareness of gratitude to God, and weak personal commitment to church participation. External factors include the long distance to the church, heavy family responsibilities, economic challenges, and the absence of exemplary conduct from church elders. The study concludes that the attendance of partua ibale in Sunday services is not solely a personal matter but also reflects the church’s effectiveness in providing pastoral care, strengthening fellowship, and encouraging active male participation in worship.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the exemplary leadership of Joshua and its implications for the ministry of the Elders at the GKPPD Penjaraten Resort Kuta Dame Pakpak Bharat. The background of this study departs from the fact that not all Elders demonstrate leadership character in accordance with Biblical values, especially as exemplified by Joshua as a humble, selfless, and exemplary leader of the Israelites. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach, namely by analyzing and describing the character of Joshua's leadership and its relevance to the current condition of the Elders' ministry. The results of the study show four exemplary aspects of Joshua's leadership, namely: Joshua always prioritizes God, Joshua has great empathy for the Israelites, Joshua demonstrates obedience and steadfastness of faith, and Joshua implements servant leadership. Emulating Joshua's leadership is important for GKPPD Elders because Joshua demonstrates leadership that always prioritizes God in every decision. His exemplary in having empathy and concern for the congregation becomes a real example for Elders in serving the congregation with heart. Joshua's obedience and steadfast faith also encouraged the Elders to live with integrity and serve as spiritual role models. Furthermore, Joshua's selfless leadership style taught that true service is done with sincerity, not for personal gain.
