This article examines Christian leadership with integrity based on 1 Timothy 3: 1-7. This study departs from the condition of the leaders, both church leaders and leaders in general. Some leaders are no longer a figure or role model for their own families, people they lead and even society in general. With that problem, the authors describe the leader who is an example for everyone. The method used is a qualitative method. Based on the study conducted by the author, there are two important things that need to be learned, namely Leadership Model is without blemish, husband of one wife, can hold back, polite, wise, likes to give a ride, and inspires many people including the servants in Church. Furthermore, the leader has a good name inside and outside the congregation. This is evident from the activities of the leader himself. Therefore, this paper is a study of Christian leadership that highlights all aspects of the life of Christian leaders not only in the Church but in society. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji tentang kepemimpinan Kristen yang berintegritas berdasarkan 1 Timotius 3:1-7. Kajian ini berangkat dari kondisi para pemimpin, baik pemimpin gereja maupun pemimpin pada umumnya. Beberapa pemimpin tidak lagi menjadi figur atau teladan bagi keluarganya sendiri, orang yang dipimpinnya bahkan masyarakat pada umumnya. Dengan persoalan itu maka, penulis memaparkan tentang pemimpin yang menjadi teladan bagi semua orang. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Berdasarkan kajian yang dilakukan oleh penulis, maka ada dua hal penting yang perlu dipelajari, yakni Keteladanan pemimpin itu tidak bercacat, suami dari satu istri, dapat menahan diri, sopan, bijaksana, suka memberi tumpangan, dan menginspirasi banyak orang termasuk para pelayan-pelayan di Gereja. Selanjutanya, pemimpin itu memiliki nama baik di dalam dan di luar jemaat. Hal ini nampak dari aktiftas pemimpin itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini merupakan studi kepemimpinan Kristen yang menyoroti seluruh aspek kehidupan pemimpin Kristen bukan hanya di dalam Gereja tetapi dalam masyarakat.

Abstract: The church is God's people who need guidance and leadership so that people can know God. Therefore the Church needs a leader who understands his duties as a leader. But there are still church leaders who do not understand their duties as leaders based on Bible principles. The church is less prepared for the younger generation as leaders. This we can see in the church in general does not provide opportunities for young people to develop their potential to lead. This church's disbelief in youth leadership is increasingly apparent because of the life of the Christian youth itself. Aside from not being able to be considered capable, the church is reluctant to entrust great responsibility to the youth because the lives of Christian youth are often considered far from God's word. Today's young Christian leaders are those who carry out Christian leadership duties at a relatively young age. Today's young leaders have so many weaknesses that young leaders are less accepted and respected by many people, so that Christian youths are trusted they must carry out the duties of young Christian leaders today according to 1 Timothy 4 namely young Christian leaders should remind the congregation of the word, teach the truth of the word , be an example for God's people who are led, grow in service, supervise themselves and teachings. So that the Christian Young leaders can be respected by everyone.Keywords: Task, Young Leaders, I Timothy 4Abstrak: Gereja merupakan umat Allah  yang memerlukan pembinaan dan kepemimpinan sehingga umat dapat mengenal Allah. Maka dari itu Gereja membutuhkan sosok pemimpin yang memahami tugasnya sebagai pemimpin. Namun masih ditemukan pemimpin gereja yang kurang memahami tugasnya sebagai pemimpin berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip Alkitab. Gereja kurang mempersiapkan generasi muda sebagai pemimpin. Hal ini dapat kita lihat di dalam gereja secara umum tidak memberikan kesempatan bagi pemuda untuk mengembangkan potensinya dalam memimpin. Ketidak pecayaan gereja terhadap kepemimpinan pemuda ini semakin nyata karena kehidupan pemuda Kristen itu sendiri. Selain karena kurang di anggap mampu, gereja enggan mempercayakan tanggung jawab yang besar kepada pemuda karena kehidupan pemuda Kristen yang sering kali dianggap jauh dari firman Tuhan.  Pemimpin muda Kristen masa kini adalah seorang yang menjalankan tugas kepemimpinan Kristen dalam usia yang relative muda. Pemimpin muda masa kini memiliki banyak sekali kelemahan sehingga pemimpin muda kurang diterima dan dihargai oleh orang banyak, agar pemuda kristen dipercayai maka harus menjalankan tugas pemimpin muda Kristen masa kini t menurut 1 Timotius 4 yaitu  pemimpin muda kristen seharusnya mengingatkan jemaat akan firman, mengajarkan kebenaran firman, menjadi teladan bagi umat Tuhan yang dipimpin, bertumbuh dalam pelayanan, mengawasi diri dan ajaran. Sehingga pemimpin Muda Kristen dapat dihargai seiap orang.Kata- kata kunci: Tugas, Pemimpin Muda, I Timotius 4

In popular culture the relationship between science and religion has often been portrayed as one of conflict. The impact of the conflict thesis can be observed in church leaders’ hesitancy in talking about science and religion in the public domain. It was this finding that led Revd Professor David Wilkinson (cosmologist and theologian) and Professor Tom McLeish (physicist and Anglican lay reader) to form the project ‘Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science’ funded by The Templeton World Charity Foundation. The data presented in this article (collected during 2015-2018) is derived from two discreet pieces of research. The first consisting of a survey of over 1,000 church leaders and interviews with 20 senior church leaders and, the second, with a strategic focus on ministerial training comprised of 12 interviews with church educationalists. This paper reflects on the findings from both pieces of research – covering topics such as church leaders’ enthusiasm towards science, how church leaders view the relationship between science and religion and the role of compartmentalisation in ministerial training. The article is unique in providing sociological analysis on the relevant data and including a personal reflection by David Wilkinson – the project’s director – on the implications of the research for ministerial training and science.

Basic Necessity

AbstractThe development of increasingly advanced technology has influenced the lives of believers, one of which is gadgets. Gadgets are a daily necessity and even a basic necessity. This development is very good. However, not all of these developments must be followed. Even Christian youths are involved in the alcohol trend. This is not a good situation. Christian leaders need to see and anticipate this so that the congregation does not carry on with the flow of developments that will distract people from the life that should be an example for their surroundings. The method used by the author is a qualitative method. Qualitative Method because of the problem regarding the decline of Christian leadership in the Millennial Era.

Because without good character, leaders are unable to lead. Character is the main thing that is prepared by Christian leaders to become leaders. Perkembangan teknologi yang makin maju ini telah mempengaruhi kehidupan orang percaya, salah satunya adalah gadget. Gadget menjadi kebutuhan sehari-hari bahkan menjadi kebutuhan pokok. Perkembangan ini sangat baik. Namun tidak semua perkembangan itu harus diikuti.

Pemimpin Kristen perlu melihat dan mengantisipasi hal ini agar jemaat tidak berbawa arus perkembangan yang akan menjauhkan mereska dari kehidupan yang harusnya menjadi teladan bagi sekitarnya. Metode yang digunakan oleh penulis adalah metode kualitatif. Metode Kualitatif karena persoalannya mengenai kemerosotan kepemimpinan Kristen di Era Millenial. Di Era ini sangat diperlukan pemimpin Kristen yang unggul dalam karakternya. Tidak sedikit dari pemimpin Kristen tidak peduli akan karakternya. Untuk itu diperlukan kesediaan pemimpin Kristen yang mau dibangun karakternya agar menjadi pemimpin Kristen yang unggul dan mampu memimpin. Sebab tanpa karakter yang baik, pemimpin tidak mampu memimpin. Karakterlah yang utama dipersiapkan pemimpin Kristen untuk menjadi pemimpin.

Traditional and Christian leaders in Akan communities in Ghana provide leadership services for the same Akan people. For proper internal harmony and identity devoid of identity crises, the two leadership systems should not only understand each other but must be willing to learn relevant values and lessons from each other. The integration which has already taken place among Akan traditional leaders as they have over the years learnt Christian leadership values and lessons from churches and mission schools is yet to take place properly in Christian leadership formation. This article seeks to analyse the values and lessons in Akan traditional leadership formation and its significance for Christian leadership formation. Observation and interviews of the Akan traditional leadership institution at Akuapim, Akyem and Asante and examination of secondary materials on early interpreters of the interaction between the Akan traditional leadership institution with the Christian faith are used to gather qualitative data. Akan traditional leadership formation pays much attention to matters of royal consciousness, leadership as service, mentoring, the celebration of the Adae festival and oath swearing. Christian leadership formation that seeks to avoid the church being alien on Akan cultural soil will need to pay attention to the indigenous leadership formation when addressing issues on institutional memory, stewardship, women in leadership, leadership as service and accountability in Christian leadership. Keywords: Akan, Christian, Traditional Leadership, Leadership Formation.

Leadership is a task given by Jesus Christ to Christians through His Church. Leaders are needed by every human being to achieve happiness and prosperity in all fields. Thus the Church has an important role in improving leadership for the spiritual growth of God's congregation because through qualified leaders people can understand correctly how to actually follow God. With this quality leader, people can understand who and for what God created them. Seeing the existence of a congregation that always needs guidance in spiritual growth, and that requires someone who can accompany The congregation is a leader or shepherd who is often referred to as the Pastor of the congregation. And not many Christian ministers or often referred to as Congregational Pastors have these criteria. So that they cannot be an example in the lives of the people they lead. So there are criteria set out in the Bible to become a Christian leader with quality and character. A leader is someone who deserves to be a role model for others because the leader has good character and becomes a leader blessing for the church he leads.

Many world leadership motivators use the Bible's principles and apply them in the secular area, and they are very successful. Ironically, when Christians want to emulate that success and reuse those principles in spiritual leadership of the church, it turns out that in the process of 're-use' and 're-pack' someone has been eliminated, Christ is no longer be the center of that leadership. This article aims to present an exposition of Nehemiah's leadership model, conduct a comparative analysis based on spiritual leadership and transformational leadership theory, then synthesize according to theological context and its current application concepts based on the worldview Christian. The results of the research are expected to be an inspiration for the Christian leadership holistically.

The author reflects on the reality of nepotism in Christian leadership as he has observed in the township of Soshanguve and many other African poverty-stricken communities he has lived in. The leadership of churches in those areas seems to run in the family. This model tends to have a disempowering effect on the other church members in terms of taking responsibility or initiating projects that could expand the impact of the church beyond the borders of its walls. This article recognises the positive impact of nepotism, but it mostly stresses on the negative impact of nepotism on the democratisation of power in the church and society. It uses music, a critical vehicle of knowledge acquisition in Africa, to stress upon the fact that Christian leaders should be equipped to participate in the common good, help in the empowerment of ordinary people around them, starting with their members and be altruistic, like Jesus, and work beyond the boundaries of their families.

AbstractWhat does it mean to be prophetic during political turmoil? Does it mean opposition to the government or opposition to any opposition to the government? This article offers a Biblical theological response to this question as it evaluates the behaviour of the clergymen and church representative bodies in Zimbabwe. Although the immediate context is the violence that engulfed the nation soon after 29 March 2008 election, over the years since 2000, the church has spoken with contradictory voices. There are churches and individual church leaders who openly displayed their allegiance to the government irrespective of all glaring misgivings. On one hand there existed some Christian leaders who opposed whatever the government did, hence they openly clamoured for regime change. While all this was happening, the common man benefitted only confusion as to who really is prophetic, that is who really represents God and the people.
