The purpose of this study was to determine how much influence the quality of the teacher's personality has on spiritual growth. A teacher should ideally have a personality that is suitably aligned to a deeper sense of spirituality so that he or she can role-model desired behaviours and impart the desired Christian characteristics the Lord desires of them. In this article, the researcher discusses some of the critical personality and spiritual values that must be possessed by teachers in order for them to effectively accomplish their role as a teacher. The Apostle Paul described the desired qualities for a teacher in his letter to the Ephesians and also in Timothy. This research was conducted at the Yogyakarta Baptist Church, Indonesia. This study used quantitative methods to collect representative data that was be tested in answering the problems studied. The results in this study demonstrate that there is a moderate relationship between teacher quality and spiritual growth. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire stated that there was a two- tailed relationship of 0.524 at a significance level of 0.01/1% and was accepted with a probability of 0.000. The magnitude of the coefficient of determination of variance (r2x) is 0.274, which means that Personality Quality (X1) contributes to spiritual growth (Y) by 27.4%. If the teacher's Personality Quality score increases by one unit, the average spiritual growth score (Y) will increase by 0.874 from the current condition.
Kajian ini berangkat dari pengamatan penulis secara empiris dimana semua para guru di era digital ini ditantang untuk berubah ke arah inovasi, kreatif dan kompetitif yang disebut dengan era 4.0. Namun untuk sampai pada titik itu maka para guru harus berani keluar dari pola pengajaran yang kaku dan administratif. Oleh karena itu, para guru harus memiliki cara berpikir baru dalam menghadapi siswa di era digital, karena guru merupakan komponen penting dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran di sekolah. Selain memiliki pengaruh penting dalam pendidikan tersebut, guru harus menunjukkan keprofesionalnya dalam memanfaatkan segala media pembelajaran demi meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di sekolah. Lewat karya tulis ini, penulis mendorong para guru agama untuk memaksimalkan diri dalam mengggunakan teknologi sebagai alat bantu dalam melakukan proses pembelajaran sehingga menghasilkan output yang dapat mengikuti atau mengubah zaman menjadi lebih baik. Tidak ada alasan bagi para guru agama untuk berdalih sebagaimana yang telah ditemukan dalam penjelasan tulisan ini secara empiris. Sudah saatnya para guru meninggalkan proses pembelajaran yang cenderung mengutamakan media ceramah dan hafalan. Dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran yang tepat, maka peserta didik lebih siap dan percaya diri menghadapi berbagai tantangan dan perubahan yang ada di era revolusi industri 4.0.
Covenant theology is one of the most important parts of the Christian faith. Theology is God's initiative in persuading His love for man. God promises to give redemption to all men without requirement. However, advances in technology and science have harmed one's belief in God's promise. The purpose of this study was to find reflections of covenant theology found in Genesis 1-3 and its implications for today's believers. The method used in this article is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Through the research of the library, three covenants that God gave to man were covenants of work, redemption, and grace. The covenant can still be enjoyed by all believers today if, it can place Christ at the center of the fulfillment of god's covenant.
The shepherd has a very important role in God's purpose for His church. A shepherd should have the equipping ability as described in Ephesians 4:12a. This ability is manifested in two ways, namely: equipping the congregation with knowledge and experience of faith. The process of equipping the congregation will lead the Lord's congregation to spiritual maturity which is characterized by the unity of the spirit, the correct knowledge of the Son of God, full maturity and a level of growth that is in accordance with the fullness of Christ. The results of the research conducted using the quantitative research method concluded that the ability of the pastor to equip the congregation based on Ephesians 4:1-16 had a significant effect on the spiritual maturity of the Baptist church congregations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
