This research examines church music in the formation of early childhood character from a biblical perspective. Through literature studies and analysis of biblical texts, it was found that church music is effective in instilling Christian values such as love, patience, and obedience. Church music also helps children understand the concept of faith and biblical teachings in a way that is easy to remember. This study concludes that church music has the potential to support the development of children's character according to biblical teachings, so that parents and Christian educators are encouraged to integrate it into children's education from an early age.

The rapid development of technology over time has an impact on the role of women in their ministry in the congregation and society, especially in utilizing digital platforms to spread spiritual content and positive messages to the congregation and society. This study examines the role of women as spiritual content creators in the GPIB ATK Ambarawa Congregation within the framework of Kate Ott's feminist ethics. Through in-depth interviews with female content creators and analysis of the content they produce, this study explores how women in GPIB ATK utilize digital platforms to spread spiritual content and how they apply the principles of digital ethics in these activities. The results of the study indicate that women in GPIB ATK have a significant role in spreading positive messages through digital platforms. However, this study also identifies challenges associated with the use of digital technology, such as the spread of invalid information, potential privacy violations, and the social impact of the content they produce. Based on Kate Ott's feminist ethics theory, this study concludes that efforts are needed to improve women's digital literacy so that they can use technology responsibly and ethically. Thus, good digital literacy allows women not only to be consumers of information, but can also be agents of positive change in strengthening spirituality and morality in the digital era.

Teologi Terjun Bebas: Bahaya Tafsir Alkitab Tanpa Konteks

Okta Rangga, Semy Djulandy Balukh — Sat, 24 May 2025 03:18:39 +0000

The phenomenon of interpreting the Bible without context is increasingly prevalent in the digital era, creating serious dangers for correct theological understanding. This problem is characterized by the congregation's lack of understanding of hermeneutical principles, the influence of individualism, and the impact of social media algorithms that accelerate the spread of erroneous interpretations. This study aims to identify the causes, impacts, and solutions to this phenomenon. The method used is a qualitative-descriptive approach with literature analysis such as theological books, the Bible and scientific journals. The results of the study indicate that the inability to understand the historical-grammatical context, neglect of church tradition, and low awareness of the theological unity of the Bible are the main root problems. This phenomenon contributes to the emergence of deviant teachings, a crisis of authority in interpreting the Bible, and divisions in the church community. The discussion highlights the importance of developing a hermeneutics curriculum, using digital media wisely, and forming a healthy Bible study community. Based on the formulated title, it shows that the dangers of interpreting without context can be minimized through systematic hermeneutical education and church development that is centered on the authority of God's word. This strategic effort is expected to strengthen the spiritual formation of the congregation and maintain the integrity of Christian teachings amidst the challenges of the digital era.

Suangi dalam Perspektif Masyarakat Beragama Kristen di Pulau Semau

Rolin Ferdilianto Sandelgus, Arly Elizabeth Maria de Haan — Sat, 24 May 2025 03:40:05 +0000

Until now, beliefs about magical things are still believed by modern society. One of them is seen through the life of the Semau community. In this area, people still believe in the existence of spirits. Belief in the existence of these spirits is also often used to do many things, such as for traditional medicine but can also be used to harm others. The reality of this magical element is known as Suanggi. In fact, according to the data, almost all Semau people identify themselves as religious people. Of course, this reality is also a challenge in itself, for religions, especially Christianity, in making a balanced distinction between which cultures have a good impact on human life and which ones harm humans. The church must of course be selective in theologizing culture. Therefore, through this writing, it is hoped that it can provide a contribution of thought for churches in NTT, especially GMIT in theologizing with culture. In order to complete this paper, the author uses an interdisciplinary approach that does provide space for dialogue for many related scientific groups, which can conflict with each other but also work in harmony.

Membaca Ester Sebagai Simbol Resistensi Perempuan: Analisis Interseksional Gender dan Identitas Etnis

Yohanes Setiawan — Sat, 24 May 2025 03:48:09 +0000

Artikel ini menganalisis narasi dalam Kitab Ester dengan menyoroti bagaimana kisah tersebut membentuk dan merefleksikan konstruksi gender serta identitas etnis. Dengan menerapkan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini menggunakan analisis naratif serta hermeneutika kritis untuk memahami kisah Ester dalam kerangka patriarki dan feminisme. Studi ini menyoroti identitas ganda Ester sebagai perempuan Yahudi dalam lingkungan Kekaisaran Persia yang patriarkal, dengan merujuk pada konsep interseksionalitas gender dan etnisitas sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Kimberlé Crenshaw. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa Kitab Ester merepresentasikan simbol kuat perlawanan perempuan, yang menawarkan perspektif mengenai pengalaman perempuan di bawah kekuasaan imperial serta perjuangan yang terus berlangsung dalam menghadapi ketidakadilan gender. Berbagai interpretasi feminis terhadap sosok Ester yang mencakup dimensi keberanian hingga kepatuhan dikaji secara kritis guna mengungkap kompleksitas karakternya serta relevansinya terhadap wacana gender kontemporer.
