Abstract. The involvement of the church in social life outside the church is something that continues to struggle from time to time; the church, on the one hand, felt compelled to be involved in all aspects of life; on the other, it felt sufficient to focus on the spiritual dimension of life. Meanwhile, participation in the social domain is often articulated with religious mission activities that wish to win souls and increase the number of church members. This article aimed to present a theological reflection framework on hospitality in a Pentecostal perspective, as a spirituality that drives the participatory philosophy of Pentecostals in the public sphere, both socially and politically. The method used is descriptive analysis, with a literature study approach. The result is that the hospitality attitude of the early church in the Acts constructs a Pentecostal reflection of the participation of Pentecostals in the public sphere.Abstrak. Keterlibatan gereja dalam kehidupan sosial di luar gereja merupakan hal yang terus mengalami pergumulan dari waktu ke waktu; gereja di satu sisi merasa harus terlibat dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan, di sisi lain merasa cukup untuk memfokuskan pada dimensi kehidupan rohani. Sementara itu, partisipasi pada domain sosial tidak jarang diartikulasikan dengan kegiatan misi gerejawi yang ingin memenangkan jiwa dan menambahkan jumlah anggota gereja. Artikel ini bertujuan menyajikan sebuah kerangka refleksi teologis tentang hospitalitas dalam perspektif Pentakostal, sebagai spirtualitas yang menggerakkan sikap partisipatif kaum Pentakostal pada ruang publik, baik secara sosial dan politik. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif, dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Hasilnya, sikap hospitalitas jemaat mula-mula pada narasi Kisah Para Rasul mengonstruksi sebuah perenungan Pentakostal mengenai partisipasi kaum Pentakostal pada ruang publik.

This study specifically outlines the role of pastoral counseling in the church for the restoration of the spiritual health of the church. This paper uses qualitative methods with a literature study approach. The description in this article describes that the interpersonal relationships between counselors and their consensual. Counseling comes from the Latin "Concilium" which means with or with and taking or holding. Pastoral counseling serves to heal the whole human being therefore pastoral counseling helps the "wounded", to survive and go through a state in which they recovered to their original condition. In applying pastoral counseling to the congregation a counselor must understand how he or she should deal with the consequences. This is so that the counselor does not rush to blame or confront a person sharply and directly in the early stages of counseling. A good Christian pastor or counselor should put his or her function first rather than his office, for without real realization of the duty of responsibility one cannot be said to be a good shepherd or counselor. AbstrakKajian ini secara spesifik menguraikan mengenai peran konseling pastoral dalam gereja bagi pemulihan kesehatan rohani jemaat. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Uraian pada artikel ini menjelaskan bahwa hubungan timbal balik (interpersonal relationship) antara konselor dengan konselenya.  Konseling berasal dari bahasa Latin “Consillium” yang berarti dengan atau bersama dan mengambil atau memegang. Pastoral konseling berfungsi untuk menyembuhkan manusia seutuhnya karena fungsi konseling pastoral untuk menolong orang yang “terluka”, agar bertahan dan melewati suatu keadaan yang di dalamnya pemulihan kepada kondisi semula. Di dalam menerapkan konseling pastoral kepada jemaat seorang konselor harus memahami bagaimana seharusnya ia menghadapi konselinya. Ini bertujuan agar konselor tidak terburu-buru mempersalahkan atau mengkonfrontasi dengan tajam seseorang pada tahap permulaan konseling. Seorang gembala atau konselor Kristen yang baik harusnya lebih mengutamakan fungsinya daripada jabatannya, karena tanpa realisasi nyata dari tugas tanggung jawab yang diembannya seseorang tidak dapat dikatakan sebagai gembala atau konselor yang baik.

As poverty has been regarded as multifaceted involving financial and non-financial dimensions, defining poverty appears to be demanding especially when it is related to impoverishment in specific areas with particular characteristics. Consequently, in order to enable mitigation of poverty to obtain right solutions for the right situations in the right places, several factors of poverty need to be investigated through its classification into rural or urban poverty issues. Thus, this study aims at finding out urban and rural poverty issues regarding their several distinct features and similarities through literature study approach. Our finding reveals that rural poverty is considered much more extensive than urban poverty especially as it is related to difficulties in the infrastructural access/ basic service limitations to run the economic activities. However, although urban poverty is less extensive, the complexity seems to be higher than rural poverty due to unhealthy life conditions in addition to basic service shortages.

Indonesia is a country that is fertile ground for drug trafficking carried out by domestic dealers and drug dealers internationally. The rise of drugs today causes victims to die every day. President Jokowi came to state that Indonesia was on the verge of a "drug emergency", because every day 50 people died. If in just one year it could reach 18,000 people die each year. Seeing these facts, of course the government appealed through the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) that this should not be left unnoticed because it would have an increasingly bad impact. This research aims to give an idea to the churches that the spread of drugs and the number of users is alarming in the midst of this nation. The method that the author uses in writing this article uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The role that can be demonstrated by the church in drug prevention by preaching the dangers of drugs in the pulpits, partnering with BNN institutions as the frontline in eradicating drugs, conducting visits to rehabilitation sites and optimizing the role of families as supervisors. Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang menjadi lahan subur dalam peredaran narkoba yang dilakukan oleh para bandar dalam negeri maupun bandar narkoba secara internasional. Maraknya narkoba di masa kini menyebabkan adanya korban yang meninggal setiap hari. Presiden Jokowi pun sampai  menyatakan bahwa Indonesia telah berada pada ambang “darurat narkoba,” dikarenakan setiap harinya meninggal 50 orang. Bila dalam setahun saja  dapat mencapai 18. 000 orang meninggal setiap tahunnya.  Melihat fakta-fakta ini, tentunya pemerintah menghimbau melalui Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) mengemukan hal ini tidak boleh dibiarkan begitu saja karena akan semakin berdampak buruk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran kepada gereja-gereja bahwa penyebaran narkoba serta jumlah pemakainya sudah mengkuatirkan di tengah bangsa ini. Adapun metode yang penulis gunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Peranan yang dapat ditunjukkan oleh gereja dalam pencegahan narkoba dengan mengkhotbahkan bahaya narkoba di mimbar-mimbar, bermitra dengan lembaga BNN sebagai garda terdepan pemberantas naskoba, mengadakan kunjungan ketempat rehabilitasi dan mengoptimalkan peran keluarga sebagai pengawas.
