Nilai-Nilai Teologis tentang Tidak Ada yang Berkelebihan dan Tidak Ada yang Berkekurangan Berdasarkan 2 Kor. 8:13-15 dan Relevansinya bagi Praktek Gereja Masa Kini
Full text linkThis study examines the principle of equality in the body of Christ based on 2 Corinthians 8:13–15, particularly the idea that “no one has too little and no one has too much.” The issue is significant because socio-economic injustice and inequality remain real challenges for the contemporary church. The purpose of this research is to explore the Christian ethical meaning of the text and its implications for the praxis of today’s church. The method employed is a theological literature review and biblical exegesis with an applied ethics approach. The findings highlight a novelty that Paul’s principle is not merely a charitable teaching, but a paradigm of equity rooted in the love of Christ. This discovery is important as it reaffirms the church’s calling to embody tangible solidarity that fosters equality within the body of Christ and the wider society
Ethics and Morals of Christian Youth in the Digital World of the 5.0 Era: Analysis Based on Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development
Full text linkThe development of digital technology in the Society 5.0 era presents increasingly complex moral challenges for adolescents, including Christian adolescents who live amidst a current of ambiguous values, moral relativism, and virtual social pressures. In this context, moral education is no longer simply understood as the inheritance of norms or adherence to rules, but rather as a mentoring process that helps adolescents develop reflective moral reasoning rooted in faith. This article aims to examine Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development as an analytical framework, analyze its implications for the moral formation of Christian adolescents in the digital era of Society 5.0, and formulate an integrative approach to Christian moral education that combines ethical reasoning and faith formation. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature review by analyzing relevant books and scientific articles in the fields of developmental psychology, moral education, and Christian education. The results of the analysis indicate that Kohlberg's theory makes an important contribution to understanding the stages of adolescent moral reasoning development, particularly in assessing ethical dilemmas rationally and reflectively. However, this theory has limitations when applied directly in the context of Christian faith because it tends to emphasize rationality and the principle of universal justice, while Christian ethics is rooted in a relationship with God, inner transformation, and the example of Christ. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of integrating Kohlberg's theory of moral development with Christian faith values through the role of Christian education in schools, the church as a faith community, and the family as the primary educational environment. This integration is expected to help Christian adolescents grow toward complete moral and spiritual maturity, enabling them to make responsible ethical decisions that reflect love, justice, and faith in the digital life of the Society 5.0 era

Digitalization and Church Leadership: Challenges and Opportunities for Contemporary Evangelism
Full text linkIn the rapidly evolving digital era, church leadership and evangelistic missions face both significant challenges and new opportunities that demand strategic adaptation and technological innovation. The implementation of the Great Commission—including evangelism, apostolic ministry, pastoral care, discipleship, and church multiplication—must align with digital dynamics, especially in contexts constrained by geography, time, and limited human resources. Contemporary church leaders are required to possess not only the ability to discern the boundaries of their ministry but also the skill to delegate responsibilities wisely and collectively. This paper explores a collaborative model of church leadership grounded in biblical principles, as illustrated by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV): “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.” Through both theological and practical approaches, this study maps out a ministry structure that fosters communal learning within the body of Christ. The primary aim is to build effective ministerial synergy that supports sustainable church growth and the expansion of the gospel message. By strategically utilizing digital media—including social platforms, video content, and interactive applications—churches can enhance the effectiveness of their communication and outreach. This paper highlights the urgency of cross-functional collaboration and digital innovation in church leadership as a response to the realities of mission in the digital age

Full text linkCharacter education is an important aspect in forming a young generation that is not only academically superior, but also has integrity and strong moral values. YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Sentani Papua is one of the educational institutions that integrates academic and spiritual learning through a discipleship program. However, the success of this program is highly dependent on the quality of staff mentoring for students.

Therefore, ongoing training and parental involvement are needed to support the holistic character formation process. Routine evaluation of program implementation is also needed so that it can be continuously improved. This study is expected to contribute to the development of character education in a faith-based educational environmen
A Biblical Study of Yahweh: The Forgotten Divine Name and Its Implications for Indonesian Christians in Their Use of God's Name
Full text linkThe name Yahweh, the proper and covenantal name of the God of Israel, carries deep historical, theological, and devotional significance. However, its usage has diminished or been forgotten among many believers, including Christians in Indonesia.
