Analisis Kritis Teologi Anugerah dalam 'Systematic Theology' Karya John Frame
type: item
description: Abstract: Theology of grace is one of the central teachings in Christianity, which states that human salvation depends entirely on God's grace, not on human effort or works. John Frame, in Systematic Theology, developed the concept of grace with a strong focus on God's sovereignty. Although there are many studies on the theology of grace in the Reformed tradition, Frame's approach has not been analysed in depth within contemporary evangelical theology. This study aims to analyse Frame's theology of grace from an evangelical perspective, exploring how grace interacts with law, God's sovereignty, and human responsibility. This study uses a qualitative, literature-based approach, analysing primary sources from Frame's Systematic Theology and secondary sources related to the theology of grace. The results of the study show that Frame emphasises God's absolute sovereignty in the granting of grace, but still recognises human responsibility. Frame also successfully integrates grace with law and the ethical life of Christians. In conclusion, Frame's theology of grace makes an important contribution to enriching the discourse of evangelical theology, especially in maintaining a balance between God's grace and human responsibility, as well as practical implications for Christian life. Abstrak: Teologi anugerah merupakan salah satu ajaran sentral dalam Kekristenan, yang menyatakan bahwa keselamatan manusia sepenuhnya bergantung pada anugerah Allah, bukan pada usaha atau perbuatan manusia. John Frame, dalam Systematic Theology, mengembangkan konsep anugerah dengan fokus kuat pada kedaulatan Allah. Meskipun banyak kajian tentang teologi anugerah dalam tradisi Reformed, pendekatan Frame belum dianalisis secara mendalam dalam konteks teologi Injili kontemporer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis teologi anugerah Frame dari perspektif Injili, mengeksplorasi bagaimana anugerah berinteraksi dengan hukum, kedaulatan Allah, dan tanggung jawab manusia. Penelitian ini menggunaka…

Strategi Pastoral Konseling Gereja terhadap Krisis Etika Anak di Tengah Disrupsi Digital Modern
type: item
description: Abstract: This study aims to analyse and formulate pastoral counselling strategies for the church to address the ethical crisis among children amid modern digital disruption. The method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach involving a literature review, which examines various works on pastoral theology, Christian education, and digital social phenomena that influence children’s development. The research findings indicate that the ethical crisis among children is triggered by unfiltered exposure to digital media, weak family guidance, and a lack of contextual and adaptive approaches from the church. Integrative pastoral counselling, combining theological, psychological, and digital dimensions, has proven to be a relevant approach in shaping character and restoring children’s ethics. Furthermore, the use of digital media in ministry, alongside collaboration among the church, family, and community, is a key factor in the success of this guidance. The study’s conclusion emphasises that the church must transform its pastoral approach in a holistic, contextual, and innovative manner to effectively address the challenges of the times and shape children of integrity, faith, and wisdom in navigating the digital reality. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan merumuskan strategi pastoral konseling gereja dalam menghadapi krisis etika anak di tengah disrupsi digital modern. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan studi kepustakaan, yang mengkaji berbagai literatur teologi pastoral, pendidikan Kristen, serta fenomena sosial digital yang memengaruhi perkembangan anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa krisis etika anak dipicu oleh paparan media digital yang tidak terfilter, lemahnya pendampingan keluarga, serta kurangnya pendekatan gereja yang kontekstual dan adaptif. Konseling pastoral yang integratif, dengan menggabungkan dimensi teologis, psikologis, dan digital, terbukti menjadi pendekatan yang relevan dalam membentuk…

Model Konseptual Pentecostalism Stewardship Governance untuk Pelayanaan Gereja Digital
type: item
description: Abstract: Digital transformation has fundamentally changed the paradigm of church service, particularly in the context of the Pentecostal tradition that emphasises the role of the Holy Spirit as the centre of church leadership and stewardship. This article aims to develop a conceptual model of Pentecostalism Stewardship Governance (PSG) that integrates three main dimensions: theological, digital, and managerial, as a framework for church service governance in the digital era. The methodological approach used in this article is through a literature review. This model is formulated through a conceptual approach that reviews ten recent studies relevant to Pentecostal theology, church management, and digital service literacy. The study results indicate that PSG-based church governance requires leadership oriented toward spirit-led accountability, where the values of spirituality, transparency, and technological innovation converge to support the ministry's sustainability. Digital Ministry Training becomes a key element in developing digital competencies for church ministers, strengthening theological capacity, and fostering a collaborative and inclusive service culture. Thus, PSG offers a new paradigm for the Pentecostal church in building holistic, accountable, and service-based digital governance. Abstrak: Transformasi digital telah mengubah paradigma pelayanan gereja secara fundamental, khususnya dalam konteks tradisi Pentakosta yang menekankan peran Roh Kudus sebagai pusat kepemimpinan dan penatalayanan gereja. Artikel ini bertujuan mengembangkan model konseptual Pentecostalism Stewardship Governance (PSG) yang mengintegrasikan tiga dimensi utama teologis, digital, dan manajerial sebagai kerangka tata kelola pelayanan gereja di era digital. Pendekatan metodologis yang digunakan dalam menguraikan artikel ini melalui studi literatur. Model ini dirumuskan melalui pendekatan konseptual dengan meninjau sepuluh penelitian terkini yang relevan dalam bidang teologi Pentakos…

Mentoring Perempuan Tua Sebagai Metode Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam Keluarga: Studi Eksegetis Titus 2: 3-5
type: item
description: Abstract: Mentoring is very important in the life of Christian religious education. The most appropriate mentoring is through exemplary life. Exemplary life is an important aspect in the process of character formation of the younger generation. In the context of Christianity, people who are more spiritually mature have an important role in guiding the next generation. The purpose of this study is to analyse the text of Titus 2:3-5 to find a mentoring model as a method for Christian religious education that is relevant for young mothers today. The author uses a literature review research method, namely a literature search, utilising library sources to obtain the data needed by the author in the study. Literature research focuses on library collection materials without using field research, with a biblical exegetical approach (grammatical-historical). The results of the study obtained regarding the Model of Mentoring Older Women in Christian religious education are: First, the character construction of a mentor is to live a life of worship to Christ and have moral integrity. Second, having a mentor curriculum is to teach good things. Third, a mentor's responsibility is to educate younger ones and live in the Word of God. <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Abstrak: Mentoring merupakan hal yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan Pendidikan agama Kristen.

Kepemimpinan Kristen dan peran Gereja dalam membangun Moralitas dan Spiritualitas Remaja di Era Globalisasi
type: item
description: Abstract: The development of globalisation and digital transformation has brought about changes in the mindset, values, and identity formation of adolescents in their religious lives. The church possesses mature morality and spirituality. However, cultural changes, technological advancements, and the plurality of values often pose new challenges to the process of nurturing adolescents’ faith. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method to analyse the concept of Christian leadership and the role of the church in adolescent development. This study aims to analyse the role of Christian leadership and the church’s contribution in building the morality and spirituality of adolescents in the era of globalisation. The findings indicate that Christian leadership grounded in exemplary conduct, faith formation, and digital literacy can strengthen the character development of adolescents. The church needs to provide contextual faith formation so that moral values and spirituality can be internalised in a way that is relevant to adolescents. Christian leadership that integrates biblical teaching, pastoral care, and the use of technology is a crucial strategy in youth ministry. Abstrak: Perkembangan globalisasi dan transformasi digital telah membawa perubahan terhadap pola pikir, nilai, serta pembentukan identitas remaja dalam kehidupan religius. Gereja memiliki moralitas serta spiritualitas yang matang. Namun perubahan budaya, kemajuan teknologi, dan pluralitas nilai sering menimbulkan tantangan baru bagi proses pembinaan iman remaja.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran kepemimpinan Kristen dan kontribusi gereja dalam membangun moralitas serta spiritualitas remaja di era globalisasi.

Integrasi Teologi Salib dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen untuk Ketahanan Iman Remaja
type: item
description: Abstract: This study aims to analyse the integration of the theology of the cross into Christian Religious Education to strengthen adolescents’ faith amid the dynamics of modern life. Today’s adolescents face various challenges and the influence of digital culture, which can affect their commitment to their faith. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach. The findings indicate that the theology of the cross is highly relevant to shaping a reflective and contextual understanding of faith among adolescents. The values of sacrifice, faithfulness, love, and hope inherent in the crucifixion help adolescents interpret suffering and life’s struggles as part of the process of faith growth. The integration of these values through a pedagogical approach that is dialogical, reflective, and contextual fosters the development of stronger faith resilience. The study’s conclusion affirms that the integration of the theology of the cross into Christian Religious Education (CRE) significantly contributes to building adolescents’ spiritual resilience and helps them maintain their Christian faith identity amidst ongoing social and cultural changes. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis integrasi teologi salib dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen sebagai upaya memperkuat ketahanan iman remaja di tengah dinamika kehidupan modern. Remaja saat ini menghadapi berbagai tantangan dan pengaruh budaya digital yang dapat memengaruhi komitmen iman mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teologi salib memiliki relevansi penting dalam membentuk pemahaman iman yang reflektif dan kontekstual bagi remaja. Nilai pengorbanan, kesetiaan, kasih, dan pengharapan yang terkandung dalam peristiwa salib membantu remaja memaknai penderitaan dan pergumulan hidup sebagai bagian dari proses pertumbuhan iman. Integrasi nilai-nilai tersebut melalui pendekatan pedagogis yang dialog…

Dimensi Kristologis dalam Pokémon: Analisis Tokoh Arceus dalam Pokémon Arceus and Jewel of Life the Movie
type: item
description: Abstract: This study explores the Christological dimension embedded within the narrative of Pokémon: Arceus and The Jewel of Life by employing a qualitative library research method combined with film analysis through the theoretical framework of “Doing Theology through Film” proposed by Clive Marsh. The purpose of this research is to investigate how popular culture—specifically the Pokémon franchise—can function as an effective teaching medium for introducing Christology to Generation Z, a demographic deeply immersed in digital entertainment. The findings reveal significant thematic parallels between the character Arceus and the Christian understanding of Jesus Christ, particularly in motifs of self-sacrifice, life-giving action, and betrayal. These parallels highlight how familiar pop-culture narratives can become contextual bridges for theological education. The novelty of this research lies in its attempt to establish a direct Christological reading of a Pokémon film an approach not yet identified in previous studies that typically focus on Pokémon as a gaming or cultural phenomenon. The implications extend to contemporary Christian education, suggesting that integrating popular culture into teaching strategies may enhance comprehension, relevance, and engagement among young believers without replacing Scripture as the primary source of doctrine. Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji dimensi Kristologis yang tersirat dalam narasi Pokémon: Arceus and The Jewel of Life dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka serta analisis film melalui kerangka “Doing Theology through Film” dari Clive Marsh. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah menelusuri bagaimana budaya populer—khususnya franchise Pokémon—dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media pengajaran yang efektif untuk mengenalkan Kristologi kepada Generasi Z yang sangat akrab dengan hiburan digital. Hasil penelitian menemukan sejumlah kesamaan tematis antara sosok Arceus dan pemahaman Kristen tentang Yesus Kristus, terutama …

Prinsip Hamba Tuhan sebagai dasar Teologis Pertumbuhan Jemaat: Studi Eksegetis Titus 2:9-10
type: item
description: Abstract: Congregation growth is crucial in the church's growth process. Servants of God are pleased when their congregation experiences growth within their church. However, sometimes servants of God focus only on numerical or quantitative growth rather than on the spiritual or qualitative character formation of the congregation. Servants of God must have principles in serving their congregation. This principle is important as the theological basis and foundation for taking steps and serving the existing congregation, so that the congregation is not only equipped with knowledge but also with the right spirituality before God. The author uses a qualitative literature review, collecting data by searching for sources and synthesising findings from books, journals, and existing research. The purpose of writing this article is to exegetically explain the principle of servanthood based on Titus 2:9-10, so that servants of God can use this as a theological basis in the ministry entrusted to them for the growth of the congregation in quality. The results of the research obtained are: First, servants must have obedience and a pleasing life. Second, servants must not argue or act dishonestly. Third, servants must have sincerity and loyalty. Abstrak: Pertumbuhan jemaat adalah hal yang sangat penting dalam proses pertumbuhan gereja. Hamba Tuhan senang jika jemaatnya mengalami pertumbuhan dalam gerejanya. Namun, terkadang hamba Tuhan hanya berfokus pada pertumbuhan angka atau kuantitas dibandingkan dengan pembentukan karakter jemaat secara rohani atau kualitas. Diperlukan sosok hamba Tuhan yang memiliki prinsip hidup dalam melayani jemaatnya. Prinsip ini penting untuk menjadi dasar dan landasan teologis dalam melangkah dan melayani jemaat yang ada, sehingga jemaat tidak dibekali secara pengetahuan saja, melainkan dengan spiritual yang benar di hadapan Tuhan. Metode yang penulis gunakan ialah metode penelitian kualitatif studi pustaka (literature review), pengumpulan data dengan …

Transformasi Iman Gideon: Telaah Teologis atas Dinamika Ketakutan dan Ketaatan dalam Hakim-hakim 7:1-25
type: item
description: Abstract: This research examines the dynamics of fear and obedience in Gideon's faith journey as depicted in Judges 7:1–25. This narrative shows that the process of faith formation does not happen suddenly, but through experiences that challenge human ability and sense of security. Using a qualitative approach through theological-narrative analysis, this study examines the structure of the story, the historical background, and God's role in shaping Gideon's response. The research findings indicate that the reduction of the Israelite army, the affirmation through the Midianite soldier's dream, and the unconventional warfare strategy were pedagogical means used by God to cultivate Gideon's dependence on Him. Gideon's transformation is evident when he shifts from doubt to courage and leads Israel to victory, affirming divine sovereignty. These findings affirm that God works through human weakness to produce obedience born from faith deepened by the experience of His presence. Abstrak: Penelitian ini menelaah dinamika ketakutan dan ketaatan dalam perjalanan iman Gideon sebagaimana ditampilkan dalam Hakim-hakim 7:1–25. Narasi ini menunjukkan bahwa proses pembentukan iman tidak terjadi secara tiba-tiba, tetapi melalui pengalaman-pengalaman yang menantang kemampuan dan rasa aman manusia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis teologis-naratif, penelitian ini mengkaji struktur cerita, latar historis, dan peran Allah dalam membentuk respons Gideon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa reduksi pasukan Israel, peneguhan melalui mimpi prajurit Midian, serta strategi peperangan yang tidak lazim merupakan sarana pedagogis Allah untuk menumbuhkan ketergantungan Gideon kepada-Nya. Transformasi Gideon tampak ketika ia beralih dari keraguan menuju keberanian dan memimpin Israel dalam kemenangan yang menegaskan kedaulatan ilahi. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa Allah bekerja melalui kelemahan manusia untuk menghasilkan ketaatan yang lahir dari iman yang diperdalam oleh pen…

Relevansi Konsep 'Power Tends to Corrupt' berdasarkan 1 Samuel 8 bagi Pemerintah Masa Kini
type: item
description: Abstract: This research discusses the concept of "Power Tends to Corrupt" in the context of government, focusing on the Book of 1 Samuel 8. Through the literature study method, the narrative in the Book of 1 Samuel 8 describing the Israelites' request for a king is analysed. The understanding that "Power Tends to Corrupt" emerges through the prophet Samuel's warning against the risk of corruption and abuse of power that can occur in the selection of a human king. This study highlights how power, when concentrated in a single entity, can change the dynamics of leaders and society. The analysis shows that the desire for greater power opens the door to potential abuses, structural changes, and conflicts between human leadership and divine authority. The results of this study provide an in-depth perspective on the ethical and moral challenges of granting power and its impact on people's daily lives. The modern implications of the concept "Power Tends to Corrupt" are revealed as a relevant warning for the contemporary context of governance, emphasising the importance of prudent governance and ethical considerations in approaching the concentration of power. Abstrak: Penelitian ini membahas konsep "Power Tends to Corrupt" dalam konteks pemerintahan, dengan fokus pada Kitab 1 Samuel 8. Melalui metode studi kepustakaan, analisis dilakukan terhadap narasi dalam Kitab 1 Samuel 8 yang menggambarkan permintaan bangsa Israel untuk seorang raja. Pemahaman bahwa ‘Power Tends to Corrupt’ muncul melalui peringatan nabi Samuel terhadap risiko korupsi dan penyalahgunaan kekuasaan yang dapat terjadi dalam pemilihan seorang raja manusia. Studi ini menyoroti bagaimana kekuasaan, saat terkonsentrasi dalam satu entitas, dapat mengubah dinamika kehidupan pemimpin dan masyarakat. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa keinginan untuk kekuasaan yang lebih besar membuka pintu bagi potensi penyalahgunaan, perubahan struktural, dan pertentangan antara kepemimpinan manusia dan otoritas ilahi.

Ma-Rukup sebagai Model Konseling Pastoral Kedukaan bagi Jemaat: Sebuah Sumbangsih bagi Gereja Masehi Injili di Minahasa
type: item
description: Abstract: Grief is an existential experience that is inseparable from human life, including in the life of a church congregation. In the Minahasan cultural context, there is a social practice known as ma-rukup, a community gathering that provides comfort, emotional support, and solidarity to families experiencing loss. This paper aims to examine ma-rukup as a contextual model of grief pastoral counselling for the congregation, while also offering its contribution to pastoral care at GMIM. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through a literature review of grief, pastoral counselling, pastoral theology, and Minahasan cultural values related to the practice of ma-rukup. The results show that ma-rukup contains dimensions of empathy, communal solidarity, and spiritual strengthening that align with the principles of grief pastoral counselling. This practice not only provides a space for grieving individuals to express feelings of loss but also demonstrates the presence of the faith community as a source of comfort and healing. Therefore, the practice of ma-rukup in GMIM's pastoral counselling services can be a contextual approach that enriches the grief counselling model within the congregation, while also emphasising the importance of dialogue between pastoral theology and Minahasa cultural wisdom in church services. Abstrak: Kedukaan merupakan pengalaman eksistensial yang tidak terpisahkan dari kehidupan manusia, termasuk dalam kehidupan jemaat gereja. Dalam konteks budaya Minahasa, terdapat praktik sosial dan kultural yang dikenal sebagai Ma-rukup, yaitu perjumpaan komunitas untuk menyampaikan penghiburan, dukungan emosional, serta solidaritas kepada keluarga yang mengalami kehilangan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji ma-rukup sebagai model konseling pastoral kedukaan yang kontekstual bagi jemaat, sekaligus menawarkan kontribusinya bagi pelayanan pastoral di GMIM.
