Abstract

God created humans as the most special creation compared to His other creations. Human intelligence is caused by one organ which, although small in size, has a very vital role, namely the brain. Advances in knowledge and technology have encouraged scientists to try solving the mysteries of the brain. Many studies have focused on the right brain and left brain, or to balance the right brain and left brain. But in recent years, there has been a training/self-development institute who stated that they had found a way to balance the right and left brain, namely by activating the midbrain. This midbrain activation method is aimed at children aged 5-15 years because it is considered that children at this age are more easily activated in a very short time through a computer.The method used in writing this work is a Literature Study that contains various information on matters related to the topic of discussion. In addition to using literature, writing will be complemented by field research, using a Check List to interview respondents. The research approach used are qualitative and quantitative approach. A The qualitative approach obtains data regarding respondent's experiences. This writing has the aim of finding ( knowing ) whether the Midbrain Activation system is in accordance with God's Word or against God's Word; to open the horizons of parents, congregations and even readers of this paper, especially those with children, so that they can be more careful in choosing training for their children.

Abstract

Various polemics about the concept of salvation confuse God's people. The polemic intended is the difference in understanding of what salvation that can be or cannot be achieved. The problems are not only issues in the world of theology but are also developing in churches in Indonesia. So the concept of salvation developed no longer lies in the Bible but lies in the dogmatics of each church. It must be realized that the Christian faith stands on the basis of the Bible, so the Bible must answer every doctrinal problem. Therefore in this article will provide answers to the polemics of the concept of salvation according to the Bible. This research uses exegesis methodology. The main purpose of this writing is to convince God's people to understand the Bible comprehensively and to understand every concept of Salvation subjectively.

Abstract

Many world leadership motivators use the Bible's principles and apply them in the secular area, and they are very successful. Ironically, when Christians want to emulate that success and reuse those principles in spiritual leadership of the church, it turns out that in the process of 're-use' and 're-pack' someone has been eliminated, Christ is no longer be the center of that leadership. This article aims to present an exposition of Nehemiah's leadership model, conduct a comparative analysis based on spiritual leadership and transformational leadership theory, then synthesize according to theological context and its current application concepts based on the worldview Christian. The results of the research are expected to be an inspiration for the Christian leadership holistically.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the Western epistemological shift over the last five hundred years: a move from Christianity to secularism. To do this, we will address key philosophical, theological and psychological developments and their respective proponents in history. We will also note the consequences of these ideas on broader human society. We will approach this topic from a Biblical epistemological foundation, allowing our faith in God to guide our interpretation of these developments. This article is divided into five key sections, each addressing the concerns of different ages in history. We discover that relativism is what binds all of these ages and developments together.

Abstract

Considering the influence of teaching in God's churches as well as writings on salvation are still contradictory, the writer must immediately write this paper with enthusiasm and joy. Anxiety occurs when among believers themselves still adhere to two to three understandings of salvation. First, there are those who argue that salvation is entirely from God and there is no human contribution in doing it. Because humans are sinners and do not have any reason for doing salvation. Second, there are those who argue that salvation is done by humans, God is only the provider. And the result is that many think that man will lose his salvation if he is not sincere in working for his salvation. Third, there are those who argue that salvation in Philippians 2:12 is a collaboration between God and man. God works and man must also work. Some of the focus problems above can produce good and bad qualities. Because there are some people who claim to believe but do not work out their salvation, but live as they please because they believe that the sins of the past, present and future sins of the Lord Jesus have been completed. Philippians 2:12 will consistently explore the true meaning, whether it is really God who works one hundred percent without human contribution or humans who have to work on salvation and God is the only provider.

Abstract

The pressures of life that cause suffering are real things in life. The same thing happened to the psalmist recorded in Psalm 130:1-8. There are two big possibilities when someone faces a problem, they will move away from God or draw closer to God. In the narrative of Psalm 130:1-8, the psalmist draws closer to God. When the psalmist trusting God’s redemption generates the attitude to wait upon the Lord. Although God has not heard my prayer yet, I want to trust the Lord that he will deliver me despite I do not know when he will release me. I want to live in trust to the Lord because I believe that my faith will help me to endure in my problems, to still wait upon the Lord. I want to remember his characters so that I do not want to lose my faith in the midst of my suffering. This Psalm is begun with petition to the Lord and it is ended up by describing God’s characteristic.

Abstract

Since the enactment of accreditation regulations within the Theological College, there have been Christian groups that have rejected the Theological College Accreditation on theological grounds or the principles of belief held. This Christian sect has established Theological Colleges in Jakarta and West Kalimantan and even holds graduations and issues diplomas and gives academic degrees to graduates, even though they have never submitted an accreditation form to BAN-PT (National Accreditation Board-University). Then how is the existence of this Theological College in the eyes of law and education in Indonesia and the theological response based on the beliefs of the Christian faith? To answer this question, in writing this article the author conducts library research to describe the logical consequences for the Theological College Institutions that do not heed the accreditation activities.
