Abstract:

Those wanting to form members of Generation Z into mature disciples must overcome the challenges presented by their shared generational traits. This article summarizes the biblical teaching on spiritual maturity, documents a division within Generation Z between “engaged” and “churched” Christians, synthesizes current research on Generation Z to identify traits that could hinder discipleship efforts, and uses the biblical traits of spiritual maturity to offer guidance in addressing those challenges.

Abstract:

<p>Physical development is not necessarily equivalent to spiritual development. Normally, a person who has reached maturity level will have spiritual maturity pattern such as thought maturity, personal maturity, and emotional maturity. Yet, the balance between physical maturity and spiritual maturity sometimes does not run in parallel. One may have grown physically but not spiritually. Re-ligious values need to be established in children since early ages. The religious values mean any deeds relating humans and God or among human beings rela-tionship. Physical development is measured based on chronological age, peak of human physical development which is called maturity. On the other hand, spir-itual development is measured based on level of ability and certain ability level achieved by spiritual development which is called maturity.<br /><br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Kedewasaan jasmani belum tentu berkembang setara dengan perkembangan ro-hani. Umumnya orang dewasa memiliki pola kematangan rohani tetapi dalam beberapa kasus keduanya tidak berkembang secara seimbang. Secara fisik, seseorang mungkin sudah dewasa tetapi secara rohani ia ternyata belum matang, termasuk kematangan keberagamaannya. Nilai-nilai keagamaan perlu ditanamkan kepada anak sejak usia dini. Perkembangan jasmani diukur berdasarkan umur kronologis. Puncak perkembangan jasmani yang dicapai manusia disebut dengan kedewasaan. Perkembangan rohani diukur berdasarkan tingkat kemampuan; pencapaian tingkat abilitas tertentu bagi perkembangan rohani disebut dengan istilah kematangan.</p>

Abstract:

Human beings have two experiences; a) physical, and b) spiritual. The physical growth is based on the chronological age, then that is known as adultery. Whereas the spiritual growth is based on the capability level, and the top of this growth is known as maturity. The growth level that is achieved by every individual will be different. Anyone can be adult physically, not spiritually. To be adult spiritually, someone may be mature in his/her personality soul. The people's soul is mature when the people's mature soul is interrelated with religiosity that is known as a maturity of religious soul. 17zere are six characteristics of maturity: 1) having a good differentiation, 2) having dynamic motivation in spiritual life, 3) having proper implementation of the religion consistently and productively, 4) having comprehensive point of view, 5) having integrated point of view and 6) having high motivation in finding and serving the God.

Abstract:

Educators, philosophers, and theologians have long concerned themselves with the process of critical thinking. John Dewey’s writings, specifically How We Think, cast a long shadow in both secular and religious educational contexts. Can the Christian educator employ Dewey’s framework for reflective thinking in a useful manner without subscribing to his naturalistic underpinnings? This article evaluates Dewey’s reflective thinking process and suggests potential applications to Christian growth and maturity. First, biblical components must replace the deficiencies in Dewey’s epistemology. Next, the article examines the mandate for and role of critical thinking in the life of the mature Christian through the lens of Paul’s letter to the church in Rome. Finally, a clear connection between Paul’s teaching and Dewey’s process will be presented.

Abstract:

AbstractThe truth of one's religious beliefs can be questioned by appeal to hypocrisy or blatant moral failure amongst the adherents of one's religion. Such an appeal implies that the absence of spiritual maturity within a religious individual or group can serve in some way as evidence against the truth of that religion and (presumably), conversely, that spiritual maturity within a religious individual or group can be thought of as providing some sort of evidence for the truth of that religion. The first part of this article attempts to get clear on what sort of evidential force the presence or absence of spiritual maturity has for the rational assessment of religious belief in general. This part of the article concludes that the evidential force of spiritual maturity must ultimately be assessed within the contours of a particular religion with a firm grasp on the sort of moral formational process envisaged by that religion. So, in the second part of the article, the evidential force of spiritual maturity is considered from a Christian perspective and an interpersonal model of sanctification is appealed to as an explanation of the lack of spiritual maturity amongst Christian believers.

Abstract:

Relationships between parenting styles practiced in individuals' families of origin and the measurement of individuals' spiritual maturity in adulthood were studied. Relationships between gender and the authoritative (facilitative) parenting style comprised the main focus of the study. Participants for this study were recruited from a large, non-denominational Christian church located in north Texas. A total of 300 individuals were randomly selected. A total of 160 individuals filled out the demographic sheet, the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), and the Spiritual Assessment Inventory (SAI). Canonical correlation procedures were performed among the set of SAI scales measuring individuals' spiritual maturity (awareness, instability, grandiosity, realistic acceptance, disappointment, and impression management) and the set of PAQ scales that measure parenting styles (authoritative or facilitative, authoritarian, and permissive) of mothers and fathers. Conclusions about female and male students raised in homes characterized by fathers and mothers with an authoritative (facilitative) parenting style were varied. Female adults raised in homes characterized by fathers and mothers with an authoritative (facilitative) parenting style were not correlated in a positive manner with spiritual maturity. Male adults raised in homes characterized by fathers with an authoritative (facilitative) parenting style demonstrated significance at only a large observed p value and therefore, could not be reported. Male students raised in homes characterized by mothers with an authoritative (facilitative) parenting style were correlated significantly with spiritual maturity in one correlation at the .04 level of significance. In another correlation, at the .003 level of significance, male adults raised in homes characterized by mothers with an authoritative (facilitative) parenting style were not correlated. Some cautions were discussed regarding the findings, and directions for future research on parenting styles and spiritual maturity were discussed.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of spiritual experiences, spiritually maturity, and the interaction of spiritual experience and maturity above the additive effects of separate effects, on the engagement in health-promoting behaviors (personal development, sense of purpose, self-awareness and satisfaction; health responsibility; participation in regular exercise and meal patterns; close relationships; and stress management). This study was important because there is a deficit in the literature investigating the effects of spiritual experience and maturity on wellness behaviors.The study's sample consisted of 241 volunteers from various religious and nonreligious groups in a medium sized Midwestern town. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires, including the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile, Index of Core Spiritual Experiences, the Spiritual Maturity subscale of the Spiritual Experience Index- Revised, and a demographic questionnaire. The combination of spiritual experience and spiritual maturity, with demographic variables held constant, was significant and accounted for 22% of the variance in health-promoting behaviors. Results showed that spiritual experience is a significant predictor of health-promoting behaviors. Spiritual maturity and the interaction between spiritual experience and spiritual maturity were not significantly related to health-promoting behaviors.

Abstract:

"The problem of motivation is one of the most important in determining the driving mechanisms that force a person to learn, work, master something new. Motivation to work is one of the key elements of challenging yourself on the way to self-development. Motivation has deep psychological and moral roots and is a complex multifaceted phenomenon that often defies logical comprehension. In addition, it is an ephemeral, elusive thing; it is not a permanent feature of a person in one or another area of his activity. Accordingly, it is the problem of origin, retention, and in a good scenario of strengthening the motivation that is in one of the first place among the tasks that modern teachers face. Rapid scientific and technological development and progress in various fields of knowledge, new scientific and technical discoveries and the need for new high-tech developments require specialists with a high level of education and high-quality professional training. This applies not only to scientific and technical spheres, but also to natural-applied and humanitarian areas. All this makes higher education today a prestigious and extremely attractive goal for most young people, making young people use their studies at a university as a social lift for further personal development and career development. At the same time, a situation is observed when entering universities, many young people are faced with a serious problem of lack of motivation to learn, or they are demotivated in the learning process, which often leads to a very low level of quality of their studies, and sometimes makes them interrupt study for academic leave or give it up completely. Pedagogical science has accumulated a wealth of experience in studying this problem, however, the modern challenges of a changing world require pedagogy to constantly monitor changes and search for new approaches to solving the problems that students have in the course of obtaining higher education. The authors study this problem, taking as an example Russia, which is a country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, where features of European and Eastern culture are combined in people. The authors approached the issue from several important angles. The article analyzes the socio-economic and political characteristics that affect the motivation for learning among young people. Particular attention is paid to the state of the current Russian society, spiritual and moral guidelines of young people, their goals and views on life and their own future. The authors emphasize the importance of family, religion and spiritual and moral development in the issue of motivation to work and study. The authors come to the conclusion that the problem of lack of motivation is based on a combination of reasons, but its root is primarily in the family upbringing of the student, as well as in his moral component and emotional and psychological maturity of the individual. The article provides an overview and some of the changes in student motivation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and online learning. It is important to note that in the course of their research, the authors relied on their many years of experience in teaching at higher educational institutions in Russia."
