Christian Ethical Review of Royalty Collection for the Use of ReligiousSongs in Online Worship, 2023

Many churches opt for broadcasting services via YouTube for virtual worship. However, challenges arise as songwriters request royalties for their songs featured in these online worship broadcasts. This can curtail song selection, consequently impacting service quality for congregants. This study explores the Christian ethical dimensions of royalty collection for religious songs in online worship, utilizing a literature review methodology. Its goal is to offer theological guidance to both songwriters and churches. The research scrutinizes influential academic journals, conducts a comprehensive analysis of biblical principles, and assesses Indonesia's relevant regulations. The primary aim of this study is to establish an ethical Christian perspective for composers and the church when addressing the intricate matter of royalty imposition when using religious songs in online worship. Although labor is a divine command for meeting human needs, Christians perceive work as an avenue to glorify God. Hence, seeking royalties for religious songs used in online worship might not align with this principle. This notion resonates with the non-commercial essence of worship. Moreover, it is imperative for churches to ensure that worship videos disseminated through platforms like YouTube and other social media retain their sanctity by avoiding monetization and commercialization.

BKKBN, for example, carries out various policies to increase participation in family planning programs to maintain community welfare by anticipating the baby boom during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the results of the survey conducted, the interest of men to participate in becoming MOP contraceptive acceptors began to increase. This is certainly a progress where the awareness of men to participate in family planning programs is increasing. The increase in participants occurred because of 'correct' knowledge about family planning programs. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, many men and their families did not have adequate knowledge about vasectomy as a method of contraception. Consequently, this caused limited accessibility to contraceptive services and acceptance among men. The main objective of this paper is therefore to provide complete and clear information to men regarding the benefits, impacts and perspectives of applied ethical theology on the use of the vasectomy method of contraception. Methodologically, this study uses a qualitative method by collecting several journals and books related to the formulation of the problem and looking for possible equations to answer this research problem. The expected results are therefore a wider recognition of the important role of health workers, culture, and experienced family planning cadres, as well as a provision of knowledge and direction in socializing the vasectomy method, including understanding the theologically ethical perspectives of vasectomy as a method of contraception.

Suatu budaya yang menjadikan masyarakat berperilaku konsumtif yang tidak berdasar kepada kegunaan tetapi kepada gaya hidup. Pasar yang cenderung ekstrim dalam mempromosikan produknya, menjadi masalah bagi masyarakat, termasuk orang percaya yang merupakan bagian dari gereja bisa terjerat dalam pusaran konsumerisme. apakah konsumerisme telah masuk dalam gereja sehingga gereja lalai terhadap penginjilan, misi, penanaman gereja baru.

Berbagai argumen saling dilontarkan untuk mempertahankan pandangan masing-masing pihak pro dan kontra homoseksualitas. Terlebih lagi persoalan mengenai identitas homoseksual. Gay gene adalah senjata paling utama yang dilontarkan oleh pihak pro homoseksual untuk menjadi tembok pelindung bagi para kaum homoseksual. Pembenaran diri mengenai homoseksualitas pun turut didukung dengan cara menggunakan Alkitab sebagai pendukungnya. Dalam kesempatan kali ini, penulis mengangkat topik "Pandangan Etika Kristen Terhadap Identitas Homoseksual" untuk mencoba menolong setiap kaum homoseksual untuk menyadari bahwa mereka tidak pernah diciptakan dalam keadaan seperti itu. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian berupa studi pustaka dengan cara mengangkat argumen-argumen serta sanggahansanggahan yang penulis ambil dari berbagai literatur yang ada. Dan Alkitab jelas mengatakan bahwa menjadi homoseksual adalah dosa (Roma 1:24-27). Allah tidak pernah menciptakan seseorang dengan orientasi seksual berupa homoseksual, terbukti dengan Allah menciptakan Adam dan Hawa sejak mulanya, yang berarti orientasi seksual yang dikehendaki Allah adalah berupa heteroseksual. Para kaum homoseksual kemudian harus mengakui dosanya di hadapan Allah, bertobat, dan meminta kasih karunia Allah untuk memampukan mereka keluar dari dosa homoseksualitas. Karena pengampunan dan kasih karunia Allah selalu tersedia bagi mereka yang mau merendahkan hatinya untuk datang kepada-Nya.

Penelitian yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah metode kualitatif studi pustaka menemukan adanya "mata rantai" tujuh kesenjangan yang terjadi pada pengasuhan anak yang menyebabkan kegagalan orang tua dalam mengasuh dan mendidik anak. Kemudian melalui studi eksposisi berdasarkan Ulangan 6:4-9 yang mengandung prinsip pengasuhan alkitabiah, ditemukan bahwa "mata rantai" tujuh kesenjangan pengasuhan orang tua itu disebabkan karena orang tua tidak hidup dengan komitmen rohani. Kata kunci : Pola asuh, orang tua, anak, komitmen rohani. PENDAHULUAN Warren Stanley Heath (2016:33) mengatakan bahwa masyarakat menghadapi bermacam-macam masalah, seperti: kenakalan anak-anak, kerenggangan hubungan suami isteri, perselisihan kakak adik, depresi, ancaman bunuh diri, kehamilan anak gadis, penyalahgunaan narkotika. Hampir masalah-masalah itu berkaitan dengan kegagalan proses pendidikan anak (Heath, 2016:33). Dengan kata lain, orang tua gagal dalam mengasuh / mendidik anak. Pengasuhan buruk itu sendiri, tentunya tidak terjadi dengan serta merta, tetapi ada hal yang melatarbelakanginya. Penulis mengindikasi ada tujuh kesenjangan pada pola pengasuhan keluarga yang menjadi seperti suatu "mata rantai" yang kemudian menyebabkan terjadinya pola pengasuhan yang buruk dalam keluarga yang cenderung diteruskan dari generasi ke generasi. Tujuh kesenjangan pola pengasuhan itu dapat digambarkan sebagai berikut: Orang tua tidak hadir/tidak berperan di tengah keluarganya sehingga terjadi pembiaran dan pengabaian oleh orang tua dalam pengasuhan anak. Survei nasional yang dilakukan oleh Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia (KPAI) tentang "Kualitas Pengasuhan Anak Indonesia 2015." Hasilnya adalah peran ayah yang semakin pudar, sementara itu peran ibu masih sangat dominan dalam semua indikator yang diukur. Dalam survei itu dikatakan juga bahwa hal yang menjadi faktor penyebab anak-anak semakin kurang kasih sayang dan perhatian dari ayahnya adalah tuntutan ekonomi, kurangnya kesiapan menjadi ayah, kuatnya budaya penyerahan pengasuhan anak kepada

The data shows that the Rancaekek and Soreang areas are two areas the gospel has not reached. Therefore, the author makes pioneering efforts with the hope that one day there will be churches in Rancaekek and Soreang, starting with cell communities in these two areas. The method used in this research is study cases. The author conducts community worship services as the forerunner of the birth of a church of God. So far, the cell community services that have been held have received a positive response from the Christian families served. Those who still need a community to grow in faith in the area where they live show enthusiasm when their house is used as a place to carry out cell community worship. Cell community is carried out not only on-site but also online. This is an alternative response to the ongoing conditions (pandemic). If conditions improve in the future, an online cell community will likely be carried out on-site.

Not everyone can use this technology, especially those who have limitations as experienced by the blind. As believers they still have to grow in faith. The problem in the research is how blind people continue to grow in faith in Christ even during the Covid-19 pandemic?

The growth in faith can be obtained through worship, Bible reading. By stopping the weekly service as usual, it is through reading the Bible that they gain faith growth. But they are constrained by funding problems to have a special Bible for them. The result of this research is that the blind need Braille Bible. The author lists the needs of the Braille Bible and distributes it for free as a form of community service. The author hopes that this research can raise the concern of Christians for the needs of the blind and those who need help.

Of course, this has a less than the optimal effect on the spiritual formation of the church. This may happen because of the lack of understanding Christians about how Christian ethical values can be applied in divorce cases. Moreover, it was added with the uncertainty of some church parties in taking their stand. This paper tries to explain in a simple way about Divorce with all its details, causes, and consequences. This paper also discusses why the church needs to take a stand and show it clearly to the congregation to avoid congregational confusion. This research was made using descriptive qualitative research methods through literature studies. Conclusions are generally drawn based on the inductive method.

But sex education for husband and wife that is right according to the Bible is challenging to find. Even if there are, they are usually in the form of seminars, and to attend them; a fee is not cheap. The Church should answer this need by providing sex education for married couples in discipleship classes, seminars, or retreats explicitly held for married couples (Halawa, 2020). In addition, teachers from the Church have more value than general teachers because they must have understood the truth of God's word. There is objective evidence of exemplary in the harmony of their families. Proper sexual relations, according to the Bible for married couples, significantly affect family harmony. Often divorce cases occur because of problems in the sexual relationship of married couples. One of the causes of conflict that often occurs is due to poor communication. To get a quality sex relationship, it's necessary to have good communication between husband and wife. So harmony in the family is closely related to the quality of sexual relations between husband and wife (Avianti and Hendrati, 2011). This research paper was written to answer the needs of married couples in the Church. How can they have proper sex according to the Bible? Have there been irregularities in having sex? Do both parties have sex out of love? How can they have good communication, especially when it comes to sex? How can they have a harmonious family? Abstract Currently, many family problems occur due to poor communication. If this is allowed to drag on, it can lead to divorce in the family. And if examined more deeply, married couples who want to divorce have serious problems in sexual relations between husband and wife. This research paper provides a solution for married couples to have good sex relations and have good communication to create a harmonious family. And the most appropriate solution is to provide sex education for married couples. Sex education provided must be accurate according to the Bible, described in detail, according to the needs of married couples, and answer all existing problems. The Church can facilitate sex education for married couples by opening discipleship classes. The Church as the body of Christ must solve married couples who are having problems becoming married couples who are harmonious in God.

On the other hand, nose reconstruction (septoplasty) is also needed because of an accident, disease or certain conditions in the nose. This paper analyzes the issue of plastic surgery on the nose as an effort to provide an understanding of biblical ethics to place this phenomenon in accordance with Christian ethical principles. The goal is for God's people to consider biblical and ethical principles in making ethical decisions before undergoing plastic surgery. In this study, researchers used descriptive analysis methods and literature studies. The type of data used is in the form of various books and articles according to the theme of the discussion. Based on existing research, researchers found that nose specialist plastic surgery procedures must be carried out according to the conditions that occur and are supported by clear goals and motivation. Such as plastic surgery of the cetoplasty type which is mandatory for the method of healing the respiratory tract in the nose and plastic surgery of the rhinoplasty type which actually does not have to be done because it is contrary to God's will, and does not agree with the perspective of bioethics and Christian ethics. It is possible to do this surgical procedure, but it must be based on clear reasons and objectives, and supported by the unavailability of other options apart from how necessary this operation must be carried out.
