Abstract

The Great Commission, which reads to make disciples of all nations, cannot be separated from its impact on the growth of the church in terms of quantity and quality. The results of the mission that are growth as increased the number and faith of believers. However, the church is too busy with programs which seem just only an euphoria of its activities, without a focus on the growth impact of the church and congregation. The church often isolates itself by high walls building as like “member only”, so that the gospel is not communicated and is not properly nurtured in the wider community. That’s why God's church being underdeveloped. To describe a biblical study of mission and discipleship in the Great Commission and its implications for church growth, so then researchers use research methods from literature and related journals to find the meaning of church growth by God's great Commission.

Abstract

LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) people are currently becoming a topic of conversation in Indonesian society. The debate about LGBT is also viewed from various aspects of the life of the Indonesian people, especially from the moral and spiritual aspects. Some accept, and some also reject the existence of LGBT people. However, the church generally rejects their existence and excommunicates and punishes them. This attitude does not describe the church as a place to show love. LGBT people need a touch of love from the church with pastoral assistance. Through pastoral care provided by the church, LGBT people can be helped to experience recovery through a touch of Christ's love.
