In Christian and church life, Faith and Rationality are often opposed to one another. Some Christians reject the aspect of rationality in doing theology, and vice versa. In the Bible presenting Abraham as an example of faith learning through his experiences when he was tempted to offer up Isaac to his only son, he was without a doubt prepared to carry out the commandments he received with a thoughtful attitude; that God is able to raise (Isaac) people even from the dead (Hebrews 11: 17-19). The research method used is exegetical study with background and grammatical contexts. The aim of this research is to find the meaning of Abraham's faith in Hebrews 11: 17-19. The result of this research is that the quality of faith is tested and that faith thinks rationally and continuously based on God's word.

Church and state authorithy: The Confessio Belgica and three church orders. In reformed churches the Bible is regarded as the norm of the norms. The confessions of faith of these churches are the second norm and subjected to the Bible. The church order is less powerful than the Bible and the confessions but of a higher status than the normal decisions of church assemblies. Therefore, the influence of the Belgic Confession on three church orders is an important issue in these churches.The author recommends four principles to understand the relation between the church and the state authority in article 36 of the Belgic Confession: both should honour God in their activities; both are guided by the Ten Commandments; both have their own internal law to fulfil the purpose as an institution; and both should respect and co-operate with one another. Although they are not in agreement on every aspect, these principles give the guidance to understand the main issue in all four documents which are investigated. The theme of this article is of a theological and church historical nature and a contribution on a well-discussed topic in reformed churches.Contribution: It should be important for the reformed churches in the Dutch tradition that a dynamic relationship exists between their confessions of faith and their church orders. While the Bible is the first and most important norm for church life, the confessions are the second most important. Church history shows that the relationship between the church and state is of utmost importance for the church, the quality of the confessions and the order of the church.

What might Grundtvig mean today to Reformed Christians? (Abbreviated edition on Danish)By G. F. W. HerngreenThe author, a former vicar in the Hague, asks this question on the basis of his knowledge of both Grundtvig’s writings and of the Grundtvigian church life in Denmark. Two of Grundtvig’s hymns have recently been included in the Dutch Hymn Book (Liedboek) and in this connection Grundtvig’s theology has for the first time received close consideration. In this article the author discusses in depth his view of the relationship between the Calvinist and the Grundtvigian interpretation of the Eucharist, particularly with regard to Karl Barth’s theology, and finds a greater agreement than even Grundtvig himself was aware of. The Reformed teaching on the Eucharist offers a greater opportunity to understand Grundtvig’s deepest concern: where do we hear God’s word to us personally? Grundtvig’s reference to the congregation’s ‘loud yes and amen’ in the creed during baptism is in consonance with Calvin’s main concern that man has no control over God’s word, not even at the Eucharist.It is God, the free agent, who acts through His word at both sacraments - not man. The creed is not a number of dogmas, a different holy writ from the Bible, but an oral narrative about who God is. This interpretation may lead to a cult-fellowship with its back to the world, which is at variance with the Reformed view that the true service takes place in the everyday life of the world, but it is for this very reason of great importance for the ecumenical debate whether one can also explain to the Reformed churches the basic idea behind Grundtvig’s ‘First a man, then a Christian’.

Masalah lingkungan hidup kini mendapat perhatian serius. Karena itu teolog Kristen berusaha membuat ataupun merevitalisasi doktrin tentang lingkungan hidup. Di saat pandemic covid 19,  sepertinya kualitas lingkungan hidup meningkat karena manusia “beristirahat” akibat wabah yang terjadi. Di dalam Alkitab hari Sabat dan tahun Sabat dirancang Allah sedemikian rupa untuk mengatur istirahat manusia dan istirahat lahan (lingkungan) dari aktivitas di atasnya. Pada tulisan ini diulas hubungan Sabat dalam Alkitab dengan pandemic covid 19 yang menyebabkan berhentinya aktivitas manusia. Metode yang digunakan adalah  metode penelitian teologi filosofika dengan didahului tafsir secara eksegesis. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa ada kesamaan antara Sabat dalam Alkitab dengan pandemic covid 19. Kesamaan bukan secara substansial tetapi pada efek yang muncul akibat kedua hal ini.     ABSTRACT _______________________________________________________________ Environmental problems are now receiving serious attention. Therefore Christian theologians try to create or revitalize doctrines about it. At the time of the COVID 19 pandemic, it seemed that the quality of the environment improved because people were "resting" due to the plague. In the Bible, the Sabbath was designed by God in such a way to regulate human rest and land rest (environment) from the activities above it. In this paper, a review of the Bible's Sabbath relationship with the COVID 19 pandemic caused human activity to cease. The method used is a philosophical theology research method with an exegetical interpretation preceded. The results of the study found there is a similarity between Sabbath in the Bible with the COVID 19 pandemic. That similarity is not substantial but on the effects that arise due to these two things.

Special Revelation

The only special revelation is the Bible which God has breathed as the main source for human learning, so that it can organize his life responsibly in service and life every day. Today some people think that the Bible is outdated and of no longer useful to mankind because this is the age of science, technology, and art. However, some people still believe that the Bible is very useful for mankind, therefore the Bible must be studied carefully so that the contents of the Bible are understood as a whole. This paper aims to encourage and inspire new enthusiasm for believers to be active in studying God's word that has been breathed by God because reading God's words can show that God is speaking to his readers. This paper uses a qualitative research method with a deep exegetical study approach. Therefore, this article provides a viewpoint for believers to be loyal in reading the Bible because the Bible is very useful for believers to imply in today's life.

The Dead

Dublin's Gresham Hotel, where Gabriel and Gretta Conroy end their evening in Joyce's most famous short story, has a fascinating history. It was founded in 1817 by Thomas Gresham, who began life as a foundling rescued from the steps of London's Royal Exchange and was thereby given the name of the Renaissance statesman who built that exchange. This sixteenth-century Thomas Gresham was even better known, however, for his eponymous ‘Gresham's Law’. Both Gresham's Law and the hotel setting and history enter into and help to shape ‘The Dead’. Questions of value and valuing suggested by Gresham's Law are shown to be more complicated than they initially appear, as they intersect with the various forms of hospitality traced in the story. The ‘secondary’ quality of the famous Dublin hotel (built by the second, unknown Thomas Gresham) underscores – and ultimately redeems – the theme of secondariness that runs through ‘The Dead’.

ABSTRAK  Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian bubuk daun Moringa oleifera (MO) terhadap kuantitas dan kualitas semen sapi peranakan ongole (PO). Metode penelitian menggunakan percobaan lapang dengan rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga perlakuan pemberian MO sebesar 0 kg/ekor/hari (P1); 0,05 kg/ekor/hari (P2) dan 0,1 kg/ekor/hari (P3). Analsis data menggunakan one way analysis of variance. Masing-masing perlakuan terdiri atas empat ekor dengan tiga periode pengamatan sebagai ulangan, yaitu periode pertama dan ketiga tanpa MO, dan periode kedua diberikan MO pada P2 dan P3. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa volume dan pH semen perlakuan P1, P2 dan P3 tidak berbeda semua periode pengamatan. Motilitas massa spermatozoa P2 dan P3 periode kedua dan ketiga menunjukan nilai +++ berbeda nyata (P<0,05) dibandingkan dengan P1 (++); motilitas individu  perlakuan P1 menunjukkan nilai terendah 60,56±2,94 % (P<0,05) dibandingkan P2 dan P3 pada periode kedua dan ketiga (75,50±2,29 dan 72,50±2,34%). Konsentrasi spermatozoa P2 dan P3 periode kedua dan ketiga menunjukkan rata-rata  >1.350 juta/ml berbeda nyata (P<0,05) daripada P1 (876±152juta/ml), sedangkan total spermatozoa motil menunjukkan nilai tertinggi 5.647±829 juta/ml pada P3 periode kedua.Viabilitas spermatozoa P2 dan P3 menunjukkan nilai >88-89 % beda nyata (P<0,05) daripada P1 (<84 %) pada periode kedua dan ketiga, sedangkan nilai abnormalitas spermatozoa yang terbaik adalah P2 sebesar 4,30% pada periode kedua dan P3 sebesar 5,33% pada periode ketiga. Disimpulkan pemberian bubuk daun MO dengan dosis 0,1 kg/ekor/hari dapat memperbaiki kuantitas dan kualitas semen (viabilitas dan total spermatozoa motil) sapi pejantan PO.Kata kunci:  kuantitas dan kualitas semen, Moringa oleifera, sapi pejantan ABSTRACTThe research aimed to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera (MO) leaf powder on the quantity and quality of semen of ongole crossbreed. The research method used was a field experiment with a completely randomized design with three treatments giving MO of 0 kg/head/day (P1); 0.05 kg/head/day (P2) and 0.1 kg/head/day (P3). Each treatment consisted of four heads with three periods of observation as replications, namely the first and third periods without MO, and the second period was given MO on P2 and P3. Data analysis used a one-way analysis of variance. The results showed that the volume and pH of semen treated P1, P2, and P3 didn’t different in all observation periods. The second and third period spermatozoa mass motility of P2 and P3 showed that the value of +++ was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to P1 (++); Individual motility of P1 treatment showed the lowest value 60,56±2,94 % (P<0.05) compared to P2 and P3 in the second and third periods (75,50±2,29 and 72,50±2,34%). The second and third periods of P2 and P3 spermatozoa concentrations showed an average of >1,350 million/cc significantly different (P<0.05) than P1 (876±152 million/cc), while the total motile spermatozoa showed the highest value of 5,647±829 million/cc in the second period P3. The spermatozoa viability of P2 and P3 showed values >88-89% significantly different (P<0.05) than P1 (<84%) in the second and third periods, while the best spermatozoa abnormalities were P2 at 4.30% in the second period and P3 at 5.33% in the third period. It was concluded that the giving of MO leaf powder at a dose of 0,1 kg/head/day could improve the quantity and quality of semen (viability and total motile spermatozoa) of Ongole Crossbreed bulls.
