The conflict between faith and actual action is caused by the ignorance of many people for grace and the law. The view that ‘faith is not enough' or 'faith must be parallel to deed' has completely ignored what the Word of God says about both. In this paper the author shows the standard of the Word of God to understand faith and deed takes place in the life of true Christianity. The life of faith must depart from faith and lead to faith, meaning we must live by faith. Faith is expressed through deeds. So, Faith and Actions are two things that can not be separated from each other, but complement each other. Salvation is the grace of God and Man can only accept salvation from God only through faith, not by works. Having received salvation in this way, man must work the salvation in life through the deeds that men do and do. If man is not active in salvation in this way after he becomes a believer, it shows that the faith he claims to be by mouth is dead faith. It's a sign that he has not really experienced salvation. Man is not saved by works. But deeds are a sign of whether the faith really lives. James does not intend to distinguish between faith and deeds; what is distinguished is between faith accompanied by deeds and faith which is not accompanied by deeds. For James faith must be accompanied by deeds. One can not exist without the other, for faith without works is dead.
The reality of the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the order of worship from on site to online, which has received many rejections. Pre-pandemic, worship was emphasized based on the dimensions of location (place). Therefore, this study aims to retrieve the true definition of worship. Through the library research, it gives the whole picture on the stage of evaluation of the worship itself. The results shows that worship actually transcends the dimensions of the location, devices, and tools used without hindering God's power for humans. Therefore, we bring back the definition of worship, both during and after COVID-19, to the real position that worship is the fellowship both during and after COVID-19 and to the real position that worship is the fellowship (body of Christ) of the relationship between God and humans regardless of the existing boundaries
The church as an extension of God's hand in expressing His love for humans needs to provide good facilities related to evangelism and consistent service for the congregation in it so that they can grow in the true knowledge of God. Along with major changes in the situation and conditions related to the Covid-19 pandemic where churches can no longer carry out worship, teaching, and other services on-site normally, digitalization is the best answer that churches can use as a facility for continuity and modernization of services. church, particularly in relation to pastoral care. Digital technology is not only a facility but also a big challenge for the church. This study uses a qualitative approach to the factual issues of the Covid-19 pandemic as a trigger for the current digital service trend. The use of descriptive methods with literature related to digitization and biblical views based on Acts 20:28 provides a clear picture related to the pastoral ministry and can be a pattern for the church in general where the church must modernize during this pandemic and in the future of post-pandemic period. Abstrak. Gereja sebagai perpanjangan tangan Tuhan dalam menyatakan kasih-Nya kepada manusia perlu menyediakan fasilitas yang baik terkait penginjilan dan pelayanan yang konsisten bagi jemaat yang ada di dalamnya, agar jemaat dapat bertumbuh dalam imannya. Seiring terjadinya perubahan besar-besaran dalam situasi dan kondisi terkait pandemi Covid-19, gereja tidak dapat lagi melakukan ibadah, pengajaran, dan pelayanan onsite lainnya secara normal, maka digitalisasi merupakan jawaban terbaik yang dapat dimanfaatkan gereja sebagai fasilitas bagi kesinambungan dan modernisasi pelayanan gereja, khususnya terkait pelayanan penggembalaan. Teknologi digital selain dapat menjadi fasilitas, namun juga sekaligus dapat menjadi sebuah tantangan besar bagi gereja. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif pada persoalan faktual pandemi Covid-19 sebagai pemicu maraknya tren pelayanan digital pada masa kini. Penggunakan metode deskriptif dengan literatur terkait digitalisasi dan pandangan Alkitab berdasarkan Kisah Para Rasul 20:28 untuk memberikan gambaran yang jelas terkait dengan pelayanan penggembalaan dan dapat menjadi pola (pattern) bagi gereja pada umumnya dimana gereja harus melakukan digitalisasi pada masa pandemi ini dan pada masa pasca pandemi ke depan.
Banyak isu-isu teologi dalam teologi sistematika, salah satunya adalah isu-isu kontemporer dalam jabatan Gerejawi. Seringkali muncul permasalahan dalam jabatan gerejawi ini, karena itu kita perlu memperhatikan dengan seksama apakah aturan-aturan yang ditetapkan oleh gereja masa kini sudah memenuhi kaidah-kaidah dalam Alkitab sehingga menjadi gereja yang dikenan oleh Tuhan. "Mengapa Tuhan tidak memerintah gereja-Nya segera dan langsung?" Calvin menjawab dengan hanya menyatakan bahwa karena Allah sekarang tidak terlihat oleh kita. Allah berkenan menggunakan manusia untuk menyatakan kehendakNya, sebagaimana seorang duta menyatakan kehendak rajaNya
The development of information technology has reached the 5th generation known as 5G (Fifth Generation). The need for information technology and industry in all fields is becoming more advanced with 5G. The speed possessed by this information technology is possible for the elimination of human resources because robotic resources replace them with artificial intelligence. The cost of developing modernity, for P Berger, is the fact that 5G technology has reduced human cost because of the replacement of human resources (HR) with technology. To understand human costs and human resource management (HRM) and to deal with global changes in the era of 5G technology, this study applied a qualitative methodology with a library research approach with a sociological paradigm of religion. In the end, the spiritual development of HRM provides an understanding that the religious value of human resources provides space and dimensions of self-esteem for 5G technology. Research Contribution: HRM spiritual development in the 5G era provides space and dimensions of respect for HR's identity as capital to face the 5G era even though HR cannot avoid human costs.
