Integrity is inherent in Christian religious education teachers and part of pedagogical competence. Christian religious education teachers (CRE) have a multi-functional role apart from having general criteria as well as special theological criteria to direct their students to a Christ-centered life. The integrity of CRE teachers also includes the formation of character in students, including students in marginal groups who are socially vulnerable, due to environmental influences and at ages whose dynamics are more complex. The purpose of this study is to describe the integrity of Christian education teachers in shaping the character of students, specifically marginalized community groups. The research was focused on multi-complex junior high school students. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, bibliographic, with data collection from interviews, field observations, and looking at phenomena related to research and relevant literature. The results of the study show changes in student character when CRE teachers use all their pedagogical competence and integrity in educating these students. Integritas melekat pada guru pendidikan agama Kristen dan bagian dari kompetensi pedagogik. Guru pendidikan agama Kristen (PAK) memiliki peran multi fungsi selain memiliki kriteria umum dan kriteria teologis khusus untuk mengarahkan siswanya pada kehidupan yang berpusat pada Kristus. Integritas guru PAK juga meliputi pembentukan karakter pada siswa, termasuk siswa pada kelompok marjinal yang rentan secara sosial, akibat pengaruh lingkungan dan pada usia yang dinamikanya semakin kompleks. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan integritas guru pendidikan Kristen dalam membentuk karakter peserta didik, khususnya kelompok masyarakat marginal. Penelitian difokuskan pada siswa SMP multikompleks. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif, kepustakaan, dengan pengumpulan data dari hasil wawancara, observasi lapangan, dan melihat fenomena yang berkaitan dengan penelitian dan literatur yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan perubahan karakter siswa ketika guru PAK menggunakan seluruh kompetensi dan integritas pedagogiknya dalam mendidik siswa tersebut.

Miracles are expressions of God's power. However, questions arise about John Calvin's concept of miracles. Does Calvin still believe that after the apostolic times, miracles still happen today? According to Pavel Hejzlar, Calvin said that miracle healings are no longer happening today because after the apostolic era ended there were no more miracles. This paper uses the bibliographical method to explore Calvin's concept of miracles both in Calvin's writings at the Institute of Christians Religion and in Calvin's commentaries. The author will prove that Calvin continued to believe that after the apostolic times miracles still occurred. Through this paper, the writer hopes that the misunderstanding of Calvin can be cleared up. Mujizat merupakan pernyataan dari kuasa Allah. Namun, muncul pertanyaan mengenai konsep mujizat John Calvin. Apakah Calvin masih percaya bahwa setelah zaman para rasul, mujizat masih terjadi sampai hari ini? Menurut Pavel Hejzlar, Calvin mengatakan bahwa mujizat kesembuhan sudah tidak terjadi lagi pada saat ini karena setelah zaman para rasul berakhir sudah tidak ada mujizat lagi. Karya tulis ini memakai metode kepustakaan untuk menelusuri konsep mujizat Calvin baik dalam tulisan-tulisan Calvin yang ada di Institutio of Christians Religion maupun dalam tafsiran-tafsiran Calvin. Penulis akan membuktikan bahwa Calvin tetap percaya bahwa setelah zaman para rasul mujizat masih terjadi. Melalui tulisan ini penulis berharap kesalahpahaman terhadap Calvin bisa diluruskan.

Jeroboam 1st is depicted as the prototype for all future evil kings, who are regularly accused According to the books of Kings. Jeroboam accused of established two sanctuaries; Bethel and Dan to rival the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. These shrines then provoke vehement censure and sin of Jeroboam become paradigmatic of northern apostasy. Underlying the negative depiction of Jeroboam’s cult, however, scholars have found subtle details suggesting that Jeroboam’s cult was traditional and even Yahwistic in nature. His calves may be best understood as familiar Canaanite vehicles for the invisible deity enthroned above them – in this case, Yahweh – comparable to the cherubim in southern cult of Judah. Jeroboam priesthood likely included Levites. And his choices of Dan and Bethel, too, apparently reflected a sensitivity to honor venerable memories of pre-monarchic era. This research aims to explain what Jeroboam did was not a violation of the Yahwistic system of Israel at that time. The establishment of God in Bethel and Dan did not disconcert the status of Yahweh in the treasures of Israel, instead of a form of a political assertion that separated Israel from the arrogance and the power of Judah. By using the method of analyzing historical criticism and literacy, the result is a new perspective of understanding Jeroboam’s reform in Israel - merely a political movement alone. Jeroboam never removed Yahweh from the treasury as the god of Israel. Instead, he retained Yahweh as God who was declared to have led Israel out of Egypt.
