Prior research has suggested that pastors have difficulty in managing church finances. On the other hand, the involvement of the congregation with knowledge that tends to be pragmatic exposes the pastor to start rubbing against the values ​​contained in this pragmatic understanding, including matters of financial management. In terms of finance, actually the provisions of the Bible are sufficient as guidance, in the form of main values, only requiring an understanding in accordance with the context and the current relevance of the challenges of the church and its congregation. This paper seeks to tell the experience of one of the important actors (informants), a pastor who acts as a ministerial servant of God in pastoral care as well as treasurer in the Indonesian Church Association (PGI). These sources are in the vortex of the tug of interest between idealism as a servant of God and pragmatism, a solution must be sought as soon as possible regarding the sustainability of the church fellowship institution. At the end loyalty, integrity and openness with good intentions to collaborate with various groups (partnering) are the key characters between the roles of pastor and treasurer. This character is preserved in an expression of faith and relying on God. The financial leadership model of a pastor as well as a treasurer with a narrative study approach is described in this article.

Theological interpretation of the Bible represents a broadening of the hermeneutical approaches available to an interpreter of Bible texts. As such, Theological interpretation of the Bible opens up the possibility to investigate and explore more aspects of the Bible text. Especially aspects that are in line with the nature of the Bible text such as Scriptures of the church as well as the illocutionary force of these texts. After a few introductory remarks concerning Theological interpretation of the Bible, three questions guided reflection on defining theological interpretation: first, Why Theological interpretation of the Bible?; second, What is Theological interpretation of the Bible not?; and third, What is Theological interpretation of the Bible? Last mentioned was explored on the basis of a focus text, namely Acts 8:26–40 that served as a case study.

The Impact

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a very powerful solution to many academic and non-academic institutions in case it has been implemented and used effectively. Otherwise, the system will interrupt several business processes. This research paper investigates the impact of ERP system on academic performance at Sohar University. A survey questionnaire is distributed to several academic stakeholders to investigate the impact of ERP system on academic performance within the University context. A total of 110 questionnaires was received from the key academic stakeholders to examine the relationship between the three core ERP modules i.e. the students’ information module, the financial module, and human resource module. The research outcomes indicate that there is a relationship between the three modules and the academic performance. However, only students’ information module and financial management module demonstrate a significant impact on academic performance, though the human resource module shows no impact on the academic performance at Sohar University. This study is a single case study approach, which might limit the findings to be generalized on other education institutes, but it gives a chance to other researchers to do multiple case studies in other Universities in the region.

The Church

In the Protestant tradition the Bible has long been regarded as the sole norm for the Church. It was from this root that, in the seventeenth century, there sprang first of all ‘biblical theology’, from which New Testament theology later branched off at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Radical historical criticism too kept closely to this tradition, and F. C. Baur made such a theology the goal of all his efforts in the study of the New Testament. Since that time the question how the problem thus posed is to be tackled and solved has remained a living issue in Germany. On the other hand, the problem for a long time held no interest for other church traditions, although here too the position has changed within the last two decades. In 1950 Meinertz wrote the first Catholic exposition, while the theme was taken up in France by Bonsirven in 1951, and by Richardson in England in 1958. Popular developments along these lines were to follow.

Origen is the exegete and Old Christian writer whose influence on the under­standing of the Bible has always been determinative. Undoubtedly, for ecclesiasti­cal reasons he deemed the Septuagint superior and regarded it as the Christian Old Testament. He thought highly of Hebrew text as well, which he often used for his research. An expression of this belief was among others the Hexapla worked out by Origen, which can be regarded as an exceptional manifestation of esteem towards the Old Testament and its Hebrew version. Origen’s attitude towards the Bible can be characterized by two approaches: on the one hand it is the ecclesiastical approach which gives the first place to the text commonly accepted in the Church namely the Septuagint, but on the other hand he is open to every other text Hebrew or Greek, trying to understand it and take it into account in his commentary.

Descriptive Method

The present article aims to investigate the historical and religious circumstances which incited King James to initiate and start the translation of the Holy Script anew though two other versions of the Bible in English were already there. The stormy period England and the English Church were going through in mid-XVI century and the succession of Prince James VI of Scotland to throne (who became King James I of England) and his unfavorable attitude towards Protestantism made him conceive the idea of the necessity of creating a new English version of the Bible which will provide appropriate influence on the Church and keep it away from Calvinist views and ideas. Through the employment of the descriptive method, the author on the other hand tries to analyse the most prominent events and activities which preconditioned the creation of the new English version of the Bible, known as the King James Bible, which has long proved to be the best translation of the Bible in English.

<b>Abstract:</b> Waste is generated by humans from a production process, both industrial and household. Waste is what’s left over from daily activities and is considered useless. However, when waste is recycled and reprocessed into something useful, waste obtains an economic value again. And so, piles of waste are simultaneously changed not only into arenas where the poor compete, but also into arenas where humans prey on each other. On piles of waste, we find never-ending poverty, which is prepared by the state and permitted by the Church. On piles of waste, we find an enduring culture of poverty.Using qualitative methods and a case-study approach, this study aims to uncover the practice of enduring poverty in the town of Maumere. <b>Keywords:</b> waste, scavengers, culture of impoverishment. <b>Abstrak:</b> Sampah adalah buangan yang dihasilkan manusia dari suatu proses produksi, baik industri maupun rumah tangga. Sampah merupakan sisa kegiatan sehari-hari manusia yang dianggap sudah tidak berguna. Namun, ketika sampah harus didaur ulang dan diolah kembali menjadi sesuatu yang berguna, sampah pun kembali mempunyai nilai ekonomis. Ketika itu, tumpukan sampah serentak berubah tidak saja menjadi arena adu nasib, tetapi juga arena saling memangsa. Di atas tumpukan sampah, kita temukan praktik pemiskinan tanpa akhir, yang dikondisikan oleh negara dan dibiarkan oleh Gereja. Di atas tumpukan sampah, ditemukan budaya pemiskinan yang langgeng di Kota Maumere. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan studi kasus, penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan praktik pemiskinan tanpa akhir tersebut. <b>Kata-kata kunci:</b> sampah, pemulung, budaya pemiskinan.

This paper aims to explore what types of work are usually done by Bajo women, and how they manage household finances in order to survive and become a prosperous family. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach [14]. The focus of the study is the Bajo women who work as fishermen. The results of the study show that: First, the fighting spirit and work ethic of Bajo women are very high on working. The type of work they do is very much, for example selling, making sarao hats, helping to install bait to catch suji crabs, fishing, catching octopus, looking for shellfish, gama, lola, to look for rocks to sell. Second, the management of the financial management of Bajo women's households is still very low, as a result they are still often entangled in debt. Therefore, the provision of knowledge related to household financial management is very necessary, not only to guarantee economic sustainability and their survival in the future, but also to free Bajo women in debt bondage.
