2026-10-22T05:59:08+00:00

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kingdom Training Program implemented at the Class 1 Cipinang Correctional Facility, East Jakarta, using the CIPP evaluation model (Context, Input, Process, Product) developed by Stufflebeam. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with eleven purposively selected informants, and document analysis. The context evaluation shows that the program has clear and measurable goals that are aligned with the vision of the correctional institution and relevant to the participants’ needs. The input evaluation indicates that human resources, funding, training materials, and institutional support are in good condition, although challenges remain, such as the limited number of facilitators and minimal technology. The process evaluation shows that interactive training methods such as group discussions, simulations, and hands-on practice effectively increase participant engagement. The product evaluation reveals significant improvement in the spiritual, character, and social contribution aspects of participants, including repentance, involvement in ministry, and behavioral transformation. This study recommends strengthening facilitators, extending training duration, utilizing technology, and developing a more structured evaluation system to enhance the program’s impact. Kingdom Training has thus proven effective in shaping individuals who are spiritually and socially better, while contributing to the social reintegration process of inmates.

IMPLEMENTASI KETUNDUKAN ORANG KRISTEN KEPADA PEMERINTAH BERDASARKAN ROMA 13:1–5 DALAM KEHIDUPAN BERBANGSA DAN BERNEGARA

2026-10-22T06:12:41+00:00

This study examines the implementation of Christian submission to government based on Romans 13:1–5 in the context of national and civic life in Indonesia. The relationship between church and state remains a significant theological issue because Scripture commands believers to submit to governing authorities while also recognizing situations in which governmental commands may conflict with God‘s will. This research employs a qualitative library research method with an exegetical approach to Romans 13:1–5. The analysis considers the historical, grammatical, and theological context of the passage and is supported by scholarly literature and previous academic studies. The findings indicate that government is an institution ordained by God to maintain public order, uphold justice, and punish wrongdoing. Therefore, submission to governing authorities is an expression of obedience to God, demonstrated through law-abiding conduct, respect for authority, responsible citizenship, tax compliance, and prayer for national leaders. Nevertheless, such submission is not absolute. Whenever governmental commands contradict God’s Word, believers must obey God rather than human authorities, as affirmed in Acts 5:29. Consequently, Romans 13:1–5 presents a balanced framework that enables Christians to fulfill their responsibilities both as citizens of God’s Kingdom and as responsible citizens of the state.

PREFIGURATIVE POLITICS OF JOHN 21:12-13 AND TAMO TRADITIONAL CAKE: MANIFESTING FOOD SECURITY IN SANGIHE

2026-10-22T06:18:51+00:00

This study analyzes how John 21:12-13 and the traditional cake “Tamo” have similarities in theological reflections regarding food. Breakfast with Jesus and the traditional cake “Tamo” became symbols of hope for the future brought into the present for the community to experience. Both become a kind of alternative world that contains protest against less than ideal realities. This study is built on a combination of Prefigurative Politics and Ritual theory by Jonathan Smith. This research is expected to provide a theological-philosophical basis as well as a call to action for the Sangihe community to move towards realizing Food Security in their area. The community no longer sees poverty and hunger as normal, but rather as problems that need to be addressed together

DIALOG KRISTOLOGI DAN PNEUMATOLOGI DALAM TEOLOGI ST. MAXIMUS SANG PENGAKU IMAN: GEREJA SEBAGAI RUANG THEOSIS DAN TRANSFORMASI SPIRITUAL

2026-10-22T06:24:23+00:00

This study aims to analyze the dialogue between Christology and Pneumatology in the theology of St. Maximus the Confessor and to explain how the Holy Spirit actualizes Christ‘s saving work within the life of the Church and the faithful. The study also demonstrates that the Church is not merely a religious institution but a space for spiritual transformation and divinization (theosis) through the work of the Holy Spirit in liturgy, sacraments, and the life of faith. The methodology employed is a literature review, utilizing books, scholarly journals, and academic articles related to the thought of St. Maximus. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-theological approach, highlighting themes such as the dialogue between Christology and Pneumatology, the Church as a spiritual space, the synergy between divine grace and human free will, and the law of God inscribed on the heart through the work of the Holy Spirit. The findings indicate that Christology and Pneumatology constitute an inseparable unity within God’s saving work. Christ stands at the center of salvation through His incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, while the Holy Spirit actualizes this work within the Church through liturgy, sacraments, and the spiritual lives of the faithful. Salvation is understood as a process leading toward theosis, involving a synergy between divine grace and the human response through faith, repentance, and the practice of virtue. This research enriches the field of patristic studies while deepening the understanding of the relationship between Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church in the Christian life.

2026-10-22T06:28:37+00:00

This article discusses spirituality in the 16th-century Reformation movement, which developed through the Lutheran, Calvinist, and Anabaptist traditions. The purpose of writing this is to explain the concept of spirituality passed down by the Reformation figures and its relevance to today's church life. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various theological and church history sources. The study results show that Reformation spirituality is characterized by a spirit of continual renewal, emphasis on salvation through faith, a holy and disciplined life, the centrality of the Bible, and concern for church unity. Although there are differences in experiencing spirituality among Lutherans, Calvinists, and Anabaptists, all three contributed significantly to forming a Christ- and Word-centered Christian spirituality. Therefore, the values of Reformation spirituality remain relevant as a foundation for church renewal today.
