Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk menjelaskan ekoteologi lingkungan hidup, model serta implementasinya sebagai upaya manusia dalam mengatasi masalah alam dan lingkungan hidup.Kata Kunci: Alam; Kehidupan; Keselamatan, Ekoteologi

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.

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.

God as the Initiator of culture in Israel put celebration to be celebrated by them. The celebration is Passover celebration, unleavened bread, firstfruits, Pentecost, trumpet, atonement, and booths as written in Leviticus 23. In order to understand God's purpose in each of these feasts, one must have the same way of thinking as the Israelites. One form is to celebrate the feasts. But there are groups within Christianity who refuse to celebrate it on the grounds of Paul's direction in Colossians 2:16. Through descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, it can be concluded that the current condition of the church only celebrates Passover and Pentecost of the seven Israelite feasts. There are groups who thought that not all the Words are things that the church must do, especially in Leviticus 23. Celebrations based on the Hebrew language mean entering an appointed cycle and time, thus explaining that the church should follow this celebration in order to align with God's cycle and experience God's appointed time. Each of Israel feasts has great significance and is an image that can help believers experience spiritual growth. Church history proves that Israel's celebrations were no longer celebrated not by the decree of the apostles, but as a result of the shift in Constantine's reign in Rome. So, the Israelite Festival should be celebrated and taught its meaning by the church.Tuhan sebagai Penggagas kebudayaan di Israel menaruh perayaan yang harus dirayakan oleh mereka. Perayaan tersebut adalah Paskah, roti tak beragi, buah sulung, pentakosta, terompet, pendamaian, dan pondok daun seperti yang tertulis pada kitab Imamat 23. Agar bisa mengerti maksud Tuhan pada setiap perayaan tersebut pastinya harus memiliki cara berpikir yang sama dengan orang Israel. Salah satu bentuknya adalah merayakan perayaan tersebut. Namun ada kelompok didalam kekristenan yang menolak untuk merayakannya dengan alasan atas arahan Paulus pada Kolose 2:16. Melalui metode kualitatif deskritif dengan pendekatan studi literatur dapat disimpulkan bahwa dapat kondisi gereja saat ini hanya merayakan paskah dan pentakosta dari tujuh perayaan Israel. Adanya kelompok yang beranggapan bahwa tidak semua Firman merupakan hal yang wajib gereja lakukan, khsususnya pada Imamat 23 ini. Perayaan berdasarkan Bahasa Ibrani berarti memasuki siklus dan waktu yang ditetapkan, sehingga menerangkan bahwa gereja seharusnya mengikuti perayaan ini untuk bisa selaras dengan siklus Tuhan dan mengalami waktu yang Tuhan tetapkan. Setiap perayaan Israel memiliki makna yang sangat penting dan merupakan gambaran yang dapat membantu orang percaya untuk mengalami pertumbuhan rohani. Sejarah gereja membuktikan bahwa perayaan Israel tidak dirayakan lagi bukan oleh keputusan rasul-rasul, melainkan diakibatkan pergeseran saat kekuasaan Konstantin di Romawi. Jadi seharusnya Perayaan Israel dirayakan dan diajarkan maknanya oleh gereja.

Social media is actually used to improve social relationships and increase roles in various ways. However, on the one hand, social media is used as an arena for bullying to others and groups. The problem in this research is how the role of Christian faith. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research comes to the conclusion that believers must know the era of disruption in human social development, then understand the influence of social media on ethics, and examine how Christian faith views in the face of bullying. Holding on to the view that the Christian existence must be the salt and light of the world means that we must be prepared to live side by side with physical differences, ideas, and all other things.Persoalan yang terjadi dimana media sosial yang sejatinya digunakan untuk meningkatkan hubungan sosial dan meningkatkan peran dalam berbagai hal. Namun dalam satu sisi media sosial dijadikan ajang perundungan (bullying) kepada sesama maupun kelompok. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi literatur dapat dicapai tujuan penulisan dengan menyimpulkan bahwa iman Kristen dalam menghadapi perundungan di tengah disrupsi, dimana orang percaya harus mengetahui era disrupsi dalam perkembangan sosial manusia, lalu memahami adanya pengaruh media sosial dalam etika, dan mencermati bagaimana perundungan dalam pandangan iman Kristen untuk diterapkan dalam menghadapi penindasan. Sehingga ada peran orang percaya dalam menghadapi perundungan di era disrupsi. Orang percaya diharapkan mempunyai pandangan dalam menerima segala perbedaan baik fisik, ide, dan segala hal. Serta mau hidup berdampingan untuk terus menjadi garam dan terang seperti yang diinginkan Yesus dalam kehidupan kekristenan

The topic surrounding the visionary and missionary nature of the church is an ongoing discussion, which in turn could help churches in general to articulate the importance, responsibility, and role of the church. The entire dimension of being a Church have to be understood in order to give meaning for its presence on earth. When Jesus Christ said, “they (the Church) are being in the world, …..they (the Church) are being for the world (John 17:11b; 16b), He was referring to the complete substance of the Church. This reality underlies the fact that “the church have a heavenly body, but the church is also in the world therefore it has to be down to earth. Having a comprehensive understanding of this matter is important, to where this will enable the church to position itself accordingly in its respective context. With this knowledge and perspective, the Church can prove that it has “a visionary and missionary nature” to mark its presence as an instrument of God’s grace for the world with the right attitude and self positioning within the appropriate context with today’s condition.
