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:

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. AbstrakKedewasaan 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.

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:

The present article reports the development and factor analyses of a new, theoretically-based measure of spiritual maturity viewed from a Judeo-Christian perspective and designed for clinical use by pastoral counselors and psychotherapists, as well as researchers. The Spiritual Assessment Inventory (SAI) is based on a model of spiritual maturity that integrates relational maturity from an object relations perspective and experiential God-awareness based on New Testament teaching and contemplative spirituality principles. A pool of items was developed to measure two hypothesized dimensions of spiritual maturity: awareness of God and quality of relationship with God. Two factor analytic construct validity studies were conducted. Based on the first study, the SAI was revised and expanded. In the second study, five factors were identified: Awareness, Instability, Grandiosity, Realistic Acceptance, and Defensiveness/Disappointment. The results of the factor analyses and correlations of the factors with the Bell Object Relations Inventory support the underlying theory and validity of the SAI and its potential usefulness for clinical assessment and research.

Abstract:

The formation of spiritual culture should be based on the principles that guide every teacher in the implementation of their pedagogical skills in direct learning. The purpose of our study is to substantiate that young teachers' social maturity is characterized not only by the level of knowledge, development of their orientations but also by the degree of personal spiritual culture. We have applied the method of diagnosing a level of young teacher's social maturity development as a moderator in the search for spiritual values, but also a participant in the formation of personal spiritual culture directly at the student himself. Diagnostic sections have shown that the index of general social maturity of young teachers who shape the spiritual culture of students, is growing much faster compared to the young teachers who didn't show the activity of this kind. From the experimental data, it follows that young teachers' activity in creating a pedagogical environment of their school is an effective factor in the intensification of their social maturity formation. Investigating the problem of the formation of social maturity of the individual, a certain system of personal orientations develops, which serves as the basis of spiritual culture, which the student can choose. The authors show that such an opportunity can only be implemented with the teacher's integrated participation as a carrier of moral values. The study's novelty is determined by the fact that each of the participants in the educational process seeks to realize the share and type of moral views for the fulfillment of their personal interests. The study's practical significance is determined by the fact that spiritual culture can be based not only on its private but also on its public perception.

Abstract:

Previous research on attachment relationships suggests that early parental interactions generate internalized models of self and others–-models which are carried forward in later relationships. In order to investigate the relationships between secure attachment styles and their collective influence on spiritual maturity, a survey of 216 seminary students was conducted using the Parental Bonding Instrument, Adult Attachment Scale, and the Faith Maturity Index. Secure adult attachment styles were predicted to relate positively with spiritual maturity. Findings of the study suggest that adult measures of secure attachment styles are correlated with faith maturity. Measures of parental bonding evidenced minimal associations with adult attachment styles and were weaker correlates of faith maturity. Secure adult attachment was a stronger predictor of faith maturity when compared to measures of parental bonding. Implications are offered for religious training institutions, the church, and the community.

Abstract:

THIS ARTICLE ADDRESSES how Christians can read wisely and well as citizens of both God's kingdom and an increasingly secular society. I suggest that focussing on reading as a transaction between reader and text rather than on the morality of texts or the maturity of readers can provide a biblical approach for Christian educators seeking to invest reading experiences with Christian faith. I also contend that reading is one of the ways Christians should invest in a secular society and that when readers sow their faith and invest their spiritual lives in their reading transactions, they can grow spiritually.

Abstract:

The Christian life is not static, but marks an expected, if often unspecified, trajectory of growth into maturity. The study of these practices that encourage growth is often called “Spiritual Formation,” and yet a survey of recent literature in the field reveals no real consensus regarding the definition for this process or its objectives. This essay will attempt to bring clarity to the practice of Christian formation through an analysis of the concept of formation, three key scriptural warrants, the role of the Church in its execution, and especially to the telos of formation. While typical accounts of Christian formation point to a vision for “Christlikeness” as the telos of its practices, in this essay I will argue that a more fundamental grounding—based on the nature of worship—should be located in the Triune Imago Dei. A given doctrine of God tacitly forms the ecclesiological environment in which a given Christian is being formed—or mal-formed.

The growth of reading in our society is, first of all, a factor in the formation of a person's spiritual, mental maturity and operative memory. It is a systematic study of the importance of the reading factor, the importance of the reading factor and the ways and means of its optimization in ensuring a high socio-cultural environment of the country. Indeed, the book is a great force that lifts man from earth to heaven, increasing his spiritual power.

The research’s method in this paper is a qualitative research method. This qualitative research consists of library research and grounded research, namely by taking theories based on literature and conducting interviews with fifteen resource persons consisting of five Pentecostal churches in Bogor City. In this research, there are several steps which are carried out, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions. The research data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, namely by explaining the results of the analysis obtained from interviews with informants. The results of this study indicate that understanding the Pentecostal liturgical elements does not have an impact on spiritual maturity. However, performing the Pentecostal liturgy will have an impact on spiritual maturity. Through a good understanding and understanding of the elements contained in the Pentecostal Liturgy, the congregation will be more sincere in carrying out the liturgical worship. Having a right understanding and doing liturgy can seriously improve spirituality and have a beneficial impact on spiritual growth and maturity. Therefore, there is an indirect correlation between the elements of Pentecostal worship and the spiritual maturity of Christians.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

This essay examines the practice of spiritual direction in the Orthodox Christian tradition. Spiritual direction is first defined as leading the believer to the knowledge of God. A historical sketch of the practice of direction is followed by an outline of the process of spiritual transformation as seen in the Orthodox tradition. The role of the Orthodox spiritual director is analyzed along with the duties of the disciple. An analysis of the indicators of spiritual maturity notes the importance of the attainment of dispassion and the development of virtue. Conventional psychotherapeutic methods are compared with Orthodox spiritual direction, noting circumstances under which the Orthodox spiritual director would make a referral to a mental health professional.

Abstract:

Though the term “spiritual direction” is not a common part of the vocabulary of the Wesleyan-Holiness people, the goals of spiritual direction form the core of their spiritual quest. Avoiding “direction” for fear of spiritual abuse, the Wesleyan-Holiness people seek to help each other toward Christian perfection by way of face-to-face groups, spiritual companioning, family worship, covenant groups, and faith mentoring. These specific structures and practices, along with observance of the personal spiritual disciplines and the disciplines of service, are primarily rooted in the heritage of the Wesleyan revival in 18th-century England and secondarily in the American Holiness Movement of the 19th century. Indirect indicators associated with spiritual maturity are described and comparisons between psychotherapy and spiritual guidance are made.

Abstract:

This article briefly traces the definition, history, and current typical practices of spiritual direction in the Episcopal Church (and, by extension, the Anglican Communion). An understanding is presented of the transformation process as an alliance against the client's shame. The on-going discussion between “directors” and “spiritual companions” as different approaches to power relations with spiritual direction is summarized. Characteristics by which Episcopalians gauge spiritual maturity are described. Difficulties in exactly distinguishing spiritual direction from conventional psychotherapy are described in view of the latter's fluidity in practice. Attention is focused on the triggers that alert the director to the need for the other discipline. Also, two books representing different currents within the mainstream are recommended.

Abstract:

The church is a collection of believers sanctified by God and allied in the name of Jesus. The church was founded by the Lord Jesus. Therefore, service to the church must not be ignored. Congregational growth to spiritual maturity must be the focus of church service. Discipleship of Small Bible Groups (KEKAL) is one of the strategies of the Pontianak Anugerah Baptist Church to guide the congregation towards spiritual maturity. The problem is that there has been no attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of ministry through KEKAL discipleship in guiding congregations to grow spiritually mature. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see the effectiveness of KEKAL discipleship in guiding the church to grow. The research method used in this research is descriptive-quantitative. The data collection is done by using a closed questionnaire. Through this research, it was found that the KEKAL discipleship program had an effective role in guiding the church to spiritual maturity. This small group discipleship strategy can be one of the strategies for the church to guide church members to mature in Christ.Gereja adalah persekutuan orang-orang percaya yang dikuduskan oleh Allah dan bersekutu di dalam nama Yesus. Gereja didirikan oleh Tuhan Yesus. Oleh karena itu, pelayanan terhadap gereja tidak boleh diabaikan. Pertumbuhan jemaat kepada kedewasaan rohani harus menjadi fokus pelayanan gereja. Pemuridan Kelompok Kecil Alkitab (KEKAL) adalah salah satu strategi Gereja Baptis Anugerah Pontianak untuk membimbing jemaat menuju kedewasaan rohani. Permasalahannya adalah belum ada usaha untuk mengevaluasi keefektifan pelayanan melalui pemuridan KEKAL dalam membimbing jemaat bertumbuh dewasa secara rohani. Oleh sebab itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat efektifitas pemuridan KEKAL dalam membimbing jemaat bertumbuh. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif-kuantitatif. Pengumpulan datanya dilakukan dengan menggunakan angket tertutup. Melalui penelitian ini ditemukan hasil bahwa program pemuridan KEKAL berperan secara efektif dalam membimbing jemaat menuju kedewasaan rohani. Strategi pemuridan kelompok kecil ini dapat menjadi salah satu strategi bagi gereja untuk membimbing anggota jemaat agar dewasa di dalam Kristus.

Abstract:

The article describes and presents the implementation results of a pilot model aimed at the spiritual and moral development of studentathletes’ personality using a classic work. The necessity of spiritual and moral development of student-athletes, which is a key component in the formation of a successful athlete, is substantiated in the article. The proposed model contributes to the increase of the spiritual and moral maturity level in the framework of the sports university curriculum. The unified structure of the “Foreign language” discipline is provided. Considering the prior to and after implementation results, the criteria of the spiritual and moral development of athletes when working on the classics in a foreign language class are updated.

Abstract:

We extend a relational model of spirituality and transformation based on Shuts’ and Sandage's previous interdisciplinary work in Transforming Spirituality. Spirituality is conceptualized based on a relational framework, and transformation is understood as emerging through an intensification of relational anxiety. Spiritual maturity is related to differentiation of self, based on theology and social science. The risks and challenges of relational intimacy and alterity are proposed as two relational pathways toward differentiation and spiritual transformation. Practical relational strategies to enhance spiritual formation based on this model within a seminary training context are described with particular attention to intercultural development and relational justice.

Abstract:

Adversity awakens people to the value of weakness and its role in spiritual growth. Qualitative research was conducted to ascertain ways in which adversity impacts spiritual growth. Semi-structured interviews exploring the lives of 12 mature Christians examined how God worked through adversity to bring depth. Three primary categories of spiritual transformation emerged: (1) Awareness of self, humanity, God, and God’s grace; (2) Openness to engage tension as a catalyst of growth, in accepting and extending grace to others, and in partnering with God; and (3) Realism about the time, process, and pain involved in spiritual growth. Through crises, patterns of self-reliance fail and are exposed, awakening believers to the limits and fallenness of human life in such a way that they gain a greater appreciation for the role weakness plays in catalyzing dependence on God in everyday life leading to deeper spiritual maturity.
