Kartelisasi Sitasi Ditinjau Dari Perspektif Kristen
This article discusses the issue of "citation cartelization" which is viewed from a Christian perspective. A review from a Christian point of view is needed in order to give a view to Christian academics, so that they can take a stand regarding the issue. From the results of the analysis, "citation cartelization" is a citation control measure in an effort to increase the number of citations which ultimately has an impact on increasing index rank in indexing and ranking machines on the Sinta page. In addition, "citation cartelization" is a scientific dishonesty, because efforts to increase the number of citations are carried out by encouraging others to cite one's scientific work even though there is no relevance.

Serving Others: Keteladanan Pelayanan Yesus Kristus Berdasarkan Yohanes 13
To serve is a terminology that is often found in relation with the tasks and responsibilities that are being carried out. This word is an important word that has recently become a jargon used more often by leaders in Indonesia, especially in the context of leadership implementation. Indeed, this is the core of the call that Jesus Christ had taught. However, this term has been reduced to a kind of ordinary terminology without getting any deep meaning. From a Christian perspective (church), to serve is a popular language to translate and to be implemented especially because Jesus Christ taught his disciples and also to His followers. Therefore, when discussing about church affairs it is closely related to how to serve. In addition, to being taught through the Gospel of John and through Mark's Gospel, we learn about the depth of the meaning of service by placing Jesus Christ as Servant - who humbled Himself in order to serve.
Internalisasi Makna Kata “Di Bumi Seperti Di Surgaâ€ Dalam Matius 6:10c Dan Praktik Konkritnya
This article discusses the internalization of the meaning of the word "on earth as in heaven" in Matthew 6: 10c and its concrete practices. The author conducted a study of the text of Matthew 6: 10c and elaborated it with various relevant library sources. From the analysis of the text of Matthew 6: 10c, the church has a goal of bringing the message of Christ and the love of God, making it interesting and understandable, for all groups of people, especially those who are powerless and cannot voice their interests. The church also needs to be involved in the development of a society that is in accordance with God's will, so that it can bring shalom in the midst of society. Therefore, the church needs to be actively involved in contributing to building the community.
Salvation in the concept of the Apostle Paul is very worthy to be studied considering the Apostle Paul wrote the most books in the New Testament. In addition, the concept of salvation is a primary doctrine that becomes a dogmatic grip for the church of God. The author conducted a literature study from several relevant sources to discuss this topic. The author examines the view of salvation in general from the letter of the Apostle Paul and then ends more specifically according to Romans. The general letters written by Paul and especially the Romans indicate the Apostle Paul's concept of salvation is theomorphistic, departing from God, by God and for God. The concept is also in harmony with the contents of the Gospels and other books throughout the Bible

The crisis in the context of Christian leadership today involves issues such as emphasis on authoritarian leadership, maintenance of the status quo, lack of leadership capacity, and ambition for domination. Therefore, the focus of this research is to propose a new paradigm related to the development of leadership principles based on sharing power within the church environment.

Strategi Pewartaan Injil seturut Perkembangan Zaman kepada Kaum Muda
The church exists in the world and participates in the development of the world. The rapid development of the world is also a challenge in itself for the development of the Church's mission to proclaim the gospel. One form of evangelism is implemented in five church tasks, one of which is the task of Kerygma or the dimension of preaching. This paper discusses the strategy of evangelism according to the times to young people. The rapidly changing times due to technology have had many impacts, both positive and negative impacts. The development of this era also has a very strong impact because it can affect everything in life, including religious matters. To carry out its mission for salvation, especially for all young people, the Church needs a purposeful approach and the mission of proclamation can be carried out well. To find this approach, the focus of research in this paper is more directed at young people from generation Z by using quantitative research methods in the form of collecting questionnaire data which is processed to show creative ideas put forward by young people to help the Church in the future so that they can use the media of communication as a means of proclaiming the gospel and can ultimately be accepted not only by young people but also by the general public

The life of the world today is faced with cases of ecological damage. For this reason, efforts are needed to prevent it which initially begins with changing the paradigm or perspective so that it leads to how our attitude approaches nature. Are we going to stick to anthropocentrism or do we choose to be ecocentrism and theocentrism but in circumstances that pretend to be concerned about nature when in fact we ourselves are undermining the order of God's creation? Or do we see creation as our brothers that God created to praise His glory? For this reason, this paper will examine the concept of Ecomarturia which is expected to complement and even update the concept of an approach to nature. Researchers use qualitative study methods with the proximity of literature reviews. The results show that nature is our brother as a whole creation that is also created to testify and tell the deeds of God's hand. The approach is called Ecomarturia using a theory based on the Encyclical Laudato Si', Calvin's understanding, and Perikhoresis's theory.

Penggunaan Premises and Conclusions Gapped terhadap Makna “Memukul Dengan Rotanâ€ Berdasarkan Amsal 23:14
Collections of Book Proverbs provide many thematic teachings such as: wealth, poverty, and parental upbringing to children. Much emphasis is also placed on teaching parents to children in collections of Proverbs, especially Proverbs 23:14. Proverbs 23:14 is widely used as a basis for teaching parents to children, especially in the meaning of the phrase "beat with a rattan." If using a qualitative sub-hermeneutic study, especially wisdom literature, this article finds the use of premises and conclusions gapped on the meaning of the phrase "beat with a rattan" in Proverbs 23:14. This is proven by the existence of a rationale for thinking in stich A in verse 14a from the use of "beating with a rattan" which gives consequences or results from wise upbringing to a child in stich B in verse 14b.
Bible Vs Anxiety Disorder: Context Analysis of Proverbs 3:5-10 in Theology-Psychology Integration
The Book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom in the Old Testament which is quite complex in its poetic language. Readers of Proverbs often offend the empty space in the soul and spirituality of Christian readers. Proverbs 3:5-10 forbids fear and obedience to God in His majesty. The reality is that people still respond to obedience to God with anxiety. In human anxiety sometimes, do not even realize they are hurting themselves, thus causing anxiety disorders. Therefore, humans must firmly rely on God in their journey of life. This paper is reviewed with an analysis of context and grammar in the integration of theology and psychology. Therefore, the writer will expose Proverbs 3:5-10 into 3 parts, namely verses 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10. The exposition aims to describe the new meaning of the text that is formed in the re-reading of Proverbs 3:5-10 which is related to one's psychological anxiety.

Specifically, the authors argue that the use of the word "grant" in 1 John 5:14-15 can mislead readers into understanding God as a God who will definitely grant prayers.

Mengali Ibadah Bangsa Israel: Menyadari Kekurangan, Menyelaraskan Keadilan, dan Kebenaran dalam Amos 5:21-24
Worship in the tradition of the Israelite religion is an integral part of their lives. However, it should be realized that the worship conducted by the Israelites during that time was not yet perfect. Perfect worship goes beyond mere religious practices; it involves the application of virtuous values, especially justice and truth, which were being experienced by the impoverished society of that era. The statements of Amos give rise to two meanings regarding the establishment of justice for the poor or the justice upheld by the nation of Israel as a whole. Therefore, this research aims to delve deeper into the worship of the Israelite nation, highlight the deficiencies in its implementation, and find ways to align the values of justice and truth in that worship. This research adopts a literature study approach by examining the texts and historical contexts within the books of Amos in the Bible. The study reveals that the worship of the Israelite nation during that time tended to disregard the values of justice and truth being endured by the impoverished society. Ritualistic worship practices fail to reflect the application of virtuous values that should be an integral part of worship. Hence, efforts are needed to align the values of justice and truth in the practice of Israelite worship.
