Abstract

ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to ascertain how religion affects recovery from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The research's context is an example of a teacher's worry at a Christian school in Kupang Regency, which led to the teacher's subpar performance. The researcher's method of inquiry was qualitative. The author employed a literature review and open-ended interviews as data-gathering methods. The research informant worked as a teacher in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, at a private Christian school. The findings of this study suggest that religion can help people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) feel less anxious. Religiosity can lessen anxiety in people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), yet it cannot totally heal the condition.

Abstract

The basic question in this research is how to understand the significance of the declaration of power in the events leading up to Jesus' ascension to Heaven? Does this declaration of power only have significance for the mission movement or does it actually involve something broader? The purpose of this study is to examine more deeply the significance of the declaration of power just before the event of the Lord Jesus' ascension to Heaven. Common interpretations often link the importance of this declaration of power in the realm of carrying out the mission of the Great Commission. The author through this article wants to explore the deeper meaning of the declaration of power in the Lord Jesus, Father and in the giving of power to Jesus' disciples through narrative analysis. The research in this article was conducted using a qualitative method by conducting a narrative analysis on the text of Mat. 28:16-20 and Acts. 1:6-11. Based on the study conducted, the results found that the significance of the declaration of power is not only as an impetus for preaching the Gospel but also in reversing the paradigm of the kingship of Jesus, fellowship between believers, victory over satanic power, and the basis for miracles.

Abstract

The focus of this research is the socio-cultural influence and challenges of urban communities for the passion of marriage promises from Catholic couples and the importance of involvement in the ecclesiastical base group environment for the passion of marriage. Marriage for Catholics is a lifelong communion between a man and a woman and is open to the birth and education of a child. This study was conducted using a methodology between interviews and literature studies. Researchers conducted interviews with five Catholic couples who lived in one of the base environments of Ijen Parish, Diocese of Malang, namely the Santa Clara neighborhood. This research found that the socio-cultural life of urban society today is really a severe challenge for the marriage passion of Catholic families. Many of the lifestyles that develop in the socio-cultural context of urban societies today clash with the nature of marriage according to the Catholic Church. In the midst of these challenges, participation in ecclesiastical base groups is a great way to help couples stay true to their marital vows. The ecclesiastical base group became the place where they gained edification, shared, and supported each other in the light of God's word.

Abstract

There are at least three major realities that should be highlighted when entering the 21st century, including digitalization that is growing rapidly, humanization that is starting to be intensified, and the intensity of religion fortifying its people in warding off the dangers of technological progress and humanization that has the potential to damage the lives of religious people. Digitalization creates an opium for humans while humanization gives birth to the understanding that humans can live without God. For this, religion must be able to be a filter for the spread of digitalization and humanization and contribute to real contributions. In its development, there are obstacles that the church encountered when it began to try to instill critical values on these two phenomena. The church was later accused of being an institution that restrained its congregation. Consider Nietzsche's thesis that he fought persistently to convince religious people that man occupies a position above religion and all forms of understanding that make human space limited. Man must become a complete man, transcending all existing orders. The term Nietzsche used was Ubermensch. This becomes a serious problem if not addressed wisely. Not after Nietzsche criticized the church, Yuval Harari appeared and confirmed the humanist position but with a note that there must be artificial intelligence that helps humans. Technology is glorified. This is where both Nietzsche and Harari come to a contrasting understanding. After all of the above is mentioned, then using the literature method, this article offers a solution that the church should be present to navigate the direction of technology and humanism. Faced with the rapid development of technology, the church stresses the need for responsible and ethical use of technology.

Abstract

In the next few years, Indonesia will reach the peak of the demographic bonus, where most of the population is of productive age and almost one-third are younger. The demographic bonus needs to be utilized optimally by improving the quality of its human resources. One indicator of the quality of human resources is mental health, which is believed to increase national productivity. Mental health plays a big role in realizing a superior generation. Through descriptive qualitative research methods, this study aims to discuss the superior character of the Christian youth that other young people do not have about mental health and Christian religiosity. The results showed that religiosity was directly proportional to better levels of mental health. The Bible through Christian Education has been shown to have a powerful influence on the mental health of individuals. Emotional intelligence developed through the ability to self-reflect, stress management, emotional release through forgiveness, peaceful conflict resolution, and increased optimism and hope are results that can be implemented in everyday life.

Abstract

Dowry is very important and determining in the traditions of certain social groups. although with different names and methods. The dowry is determined based on an agreement between the man and woman by their respective traditions and customs. However, dowry is often considered a buying and selling transaction as compensation for losses suffered by the woman. This concept of dowry was also implemented by ancient Jewish society in the Old Testament. This shows that dowry has been done since ancient times. Apart from that, the concept of dowry is also carried out by the Batak tribe, known as Sinamot. Therefore, this research aims to explain the concept of dowry in the Old Testament and the concept of sinamot in Toba Batak society. This research uses a qualitative ethnographic method that explains the concepts of dowry and sinamot and the correlation between the two. The data sources used are literature, books, and scientific journals. Giving a dowry cannot be equated with a buying and selling transaction between a prospective husband and a girl's parents. The dowry can be used as a form of appreciation for women and can be used as savings if something happens in the marriage. Likewise, the concept of sinamot is not only used as a dowry but also as a wedding expense. But most importantly, sinamot is used as a bond between clans and as a form of appreciation for the bride.
