Soal UN 2012 - Narrative Text       

            Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was dead tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of caps near him and lay down with his cap on his head.
            The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got out, the first thing he did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not there. He was wondering where they could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly puzzled.
            When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each wearing a cap on his head. They had evidently done it to imitate him.
            He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to the monkeys. In return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he began to make gestures, even when he raised his fist toward them to threaten them, they also imitated him.
            At last he hit upon a clever idea. ‘Monkeys are a great imitator,’ he thought. So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. As he had expected, all the monkeys took off the caps and threw them down on the ground. Quickly he stood up and collected the caps, put them back into his bag and went away.

                                                               Toba Eruption

            Approximately 74,000 years ago on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia , a volcanic eruption so violent occurred that it proved to be apocalyptic for the human race. Scientist estimate that the eruption may have ejected up to 6,000 km3 of magma pulverized rock and sufficient sulfur gases to form 5,000 megaton of stratospheric sulfuric acid aerosols. The suspension of so much material in the earth’s atmosphere resulted in a volcanic winter that lasted all year long, every year for several years .The severe drop in global temperature had catastrophic effect on vegetation and the food chain dependent upon it for survival-including humans.
            Scientists have examined the genetic code of seemingly disparate and distance race of people and found there’s actually very little genetic variability in the entire human race. The evidence indicates that something happened to the human gene pool approximately 74,000 years ago where only very few humans remained alive on the planet (say 5,000 to 10,000), and the current population has grown from these selectively few genotypes. Our existence in such great number today (over 6 billion strong) is a testament to our tenacious ability to survive.


36. What caused the disaster to the human race after the Toba eruption ?
A. The severe drop in global temperature .
B. The stratospheric sulfuric acid.
C. The sulfur gases.
D. The magma and the pulverized rock.

Abortion - Discussion Text

Abortion - Discussion Text
 

  For years, abortion has been an extremely controversial subject. One important aspect of the controversy is whether a woman should be permitted by law to have an abortion and, if so, under what circumstances. Another is whether, and to what extent laws should protect the unborn. People who wish to legally limit or forbid abortions describe themselves as pro–life. Those who believe that a woman should have the right to have an abortion may refer to themselves as pro–choice.

Arguments against abortion are based on the belief that an abortion is the unjustified killing of an unborn child. Most people who oppose abortion believe that human life begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg. Another argument against abortion is that laws allowing it on demand will increase irresponsible pregnancies and lead to disrespect for human life. The Roman Catholic Church is a chief opponent of abortion. Conservative branches of other religions also oppose abortion.

Many people approve of abortion under certain circumstance. Some approve of abortion if a woman’s life or health is endangered by her pregnancy. Others recommend abortion when there is danger that the child will be born with a serious mental or physical defect. They also approve of abortion when pregnancy has resulted from rape or incest.

Many people who think that a woman should have the right to choose to have an abortion distinguish between human life and personhood. They argue that personhood  implies both the capacity for self-conscious thought and acceptance as a member of a social community. These people believe a fetus is not a person and is thus not entitled to rights normally given to a person. Such pro–choice supporters agree with the view that birth represents the beginning of personhood. Perform

Another pro–choice argument is that legalizing abortions has eliminated many illegal abortions performed by unskilled practitioners under unsanitary conditions. These abortions often cause deaths and permanent reproductive injuries. Abortion on demand also prevents many unwanted births and may thus be a factor in lowering infant and child abuse, neglect, and death rates. Also some argue that women should not have to bear unwanted children in a world with a growing population and diminishing natural resources.

As a result of this controversy, abortion laws vary from country to country. In Russia, where abortion has been legal since 1920, it is allowed up to about the fourth month of pregnancy, purely by request, and is commonly used as a method of birth control. In some countries, such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, abortion is only allowed when pregnancy threatens the mother’s life. South Africa, New Zealand, and Hong Kong allow abortion when the fetus is severely damaged. In the Republic of Ireland, the operation may only be performed when either the mother’s or baby’s life is in danger.

Kerjakan Keselamatanmu
Petrus Agung
Minggu Pagi, 20 November 2011
Rangkuman oleh: Ezra Joza
Fil 2 12-15
12 Hai saudara- saudaraku yang kekasih, kamu senantiasa taat; karena itu tetaplah kerjakan keselamatanmu dengan takut dan gentar, bukan saja seperti waktu aku masih hadir, tetapi terlebih pula sekarang waktu aku tidak hadir,
John Calvin, tokoh Kristen mempunyai pandangan yg menimbulkan polemik, sekali selamat pasti selamat. Lalu ada pertanyaan apakah kalau hidup sembarangan dan hidup dlm dosa akan tetap selamat?
Namun ada ayat yg mengatakan keselamatan bisa hilang, Seperti Paulus berkata, jangan sampai setelah memberitakan injil namun hidupnya ditolak Tuhan (tidak selamat)
Tetapi aku melatih tubuhku dan menguasainya seluruhnya, supaya sesudah memberitakan Injil kepada orang lain, jangan aku sendiri ditolak. – 1 Korintus 9:27
Nah seperti apa Jaminan Keselamatan itu sebenarnya
Ef 1:13-14
Dan Roh Kudus itu adalah jaminan bagian kita sampai kita memperoleh seluruhnya, yaitu penebusan yang menjadikan kita milik Allah, untuk memuji kemuliaan- Nya. – Efesus 1:14
Roh Kudus adalah jaminan, / ikatan dari sebuah kontrak / meterai
Misal kita dengan Bank, jaminannya adalah benda / rumah dll
Tuhan memberikan jaminan hak waris dlm kerajaan surga itu bukan barang tapi pribadi Roh Kudus
Contoh jaman dahulu, sewaktu Inggris dan Perancis meminta jaminan kalau putri raja Perancis dikawinkan dgn putra mahkota Inggris maka tidak akan ada perang, jaminan ini kuat, namun jika putri itu diperlakukan dgn kasar dan tidak sopan apakah jaminan ini akan bisa jadi?
Maka Roh Kudus adalah jaminan tetapi sebagai pribadi maka jika kita perlakukan Roh Kudus dgn semau kita, kita sedang hidup dlm bahaya, jika kita terus abaikan dan sakiti hatiNya maka suatu saat kita sampai batas mendukakan Roh Kudus Allah, maka Dia akan undur dari kita dan batal lah jaminan itu.
Tetapi jika kita menurut teguran Roh Kudus akan dosa, taat akan perintahNya mengasihi Dia dgn sungguh2 maka Dia akan disukakan dan Dia betah tinggal dalam hidup kita
Apa artinya kerjakan keselamatan?
Mengerjakan=
1. to produce/ menghasilkan sesuatu / berbuah
2. To make gain by trading, menghasikan sesuatu dgn perdagangan, seperti sebuah talenta yg dikembangkan
3. To effect, berdampak bagi org lain
Maka keselamatan harus dikerjakan seperti diatas
Ada satu cara untuk membuat hidup kita berdampak?
2 Kor 1 :17 Sebab penderitaan ringan yang sekarang ini, mengerjakan bagi kami kemuliaan kekal yang melebihi segala- galanya, jauh lebih besar dari pada penderitaan kami. – 2 Korintus 4:17
Jangan salah respon, krn penderitaan adalah untuk membantu kita mencapai sesuatu yaitu kemuliaan yg kekal
Ada penglihatan waktu org dimaki2 itu seperti butiran2 permata kemuliaan pindah kalau dibalas maka malah ditolak kekayaan sorgawi itu, maka Tuhan ngajari untuk mengampuni dan memberkati. Makin sakit kita dimaki2 artinya berliannya itu besar, masuk ke hidup kita agak sakit memang. Tuhan itu adil saat orang memaki2 / menghakimi kita maka otomatis saat itu juga Penghakiman jatuh atas dia dan kekayaan sorgawinya di pindah kepada orang yg dimaki2.
Waktu kita dimaki2 memang sakit hati, Pak Agung punya pengalaman dimaki2 hamba Tuhan asing dgn bhs inggris, org yg sudah penginjilan ke bangsa2, maka sekarang baru tau bahwa Pak Agung adalah org yg paling banyak mewarisi kekayaan rohani hamba Tuhan itu
Maka kita harus cerdik secara rohani, krn Tuhan itu adil dan menghitung segala sesuatunya dgn adil
Sebab perhatikanlah betapa justru dukacita yang menurut kehendak Allah itu mengerjakan pada kamu kesungguhan yang besar, bahkan pembelaan diri, kejengkelan, ketakutan, kerinduan, kegiatan, penghukuman! Di dalam semuanya itu kamu telah membuktikan, bahwa kamu tidak bersalah di dalam perkara itu. – 2 Korintus 7:11
Penderitaan menghasilkan kesungguhan (speed) kecepatan yg luar biasa
Seperti orang berlari lalu dikejar prajurit ditusuk pantatnya, akan berlari lebih kencang lagi

Penuaian Susulan - Petrus Agung

Penuaian Susulan – Petrus Agung 6 Nov 2011

JKI - Minggu 6 November 2011 – pagi
Petrus Agung
“Penuaian Susulan”

4 Hal yang terjadi dalam minggu-minggu terakhir, yang merupakan tanda dari Tuhan:

1. Total yang dibabtis selama bulan oktober 3000 orang lebih, dan ini merupakan suatu tanda. Tuhan berkata kepada 6HT bahwa jika di 11-11-2011 anak Tuhan bisa tangkap, maka Tuhan akan berikan apiNya, yang akan seperti roket pendorong yang bawa kita maju dengan cepat hingga mencapai apa yang Tuhan mau, seperti jaman Pentakosta pertama – Roh Tuhan turun dalam wujud seperti api. Kebaktian 18:00, temanya api. Babtisan 3000 orang adalah konfirmasi dari Tuhan bahwa sesuatu yang besar sedang terjadi
2. PAP dapat email dari direktur crusade/KKR Benny Hinn saat SHRK di jakarta, bahwa Benny Hinn ingin kunjungi Holy Stadium, kemungkinan pada pertengahan Januari 2012. Tanpa kita undang, tim Benny Hinn yang ingin datang.
3. Rabu malam seorang anak Tuhan Jakarta bertemu PAP. Anak Tuhan ini punya visi untuk memiliki banyak station TV di Indonesia. Dia bernasar jika visi tercapai, satu diserahkan ke PAP. Akhirnya sepakat ambil Salatiga, karena dekat, ada MK, dan ketua sinode di Salatiga. Serah terima tanggal 16 Nov 2011. Grup anak Tuhan tersebut juga sewa transponder satelit pada satelit Telkom 3, dapat jatah 100 channel untuk TV. Saat diluncurkan, PAP dapat 1 channel gratis 24 jam.
4. Pilot project Agro: tanam padi di Magelang, 19 Nov 2011 panen perdana beras Mentik Wangi. Tahap pertama ini hanya 6 Ha, musim berikutnya lahan yang tersedia 125 Ha.

11-11-11 – datang, nyembah, tangkap apiNya karena kita butuh roket yg besar untuk mendorong kita mencapai tujuan yang Tuhan tetapkan bagi hidup kita.

Apa yang selama ini kurang dan harus dibenahi saat kegerakan terjadi ?
> PAP diingatkan tentang peristiwa 5 roti dan 2 ikan:

1. Yang membagi-bagikan adalah pekerjaan murid-muridNya
2. Yang mengerjakan mujizat: Tuhan Yesus
3. Bagian orang yang terima mujizat pelipatgandaan adalah seperti perintah Yesus: mengorganisasi diri kita sendiri (organize your self) – suruh mereka duduk berkelompok masing-masing 50 orang. Maka yang harus dikerjakan: setiap jemaat tergabung dalam Mezbah Keluarga. Saat ini kita kerjakan, tanpa kita ketahui prosesnya, kita akan menikmati pelipatgandaanNya

Saat Gideon perang melawan Median. Di perang pertama kemenangan luar biasa. Saat suku Efraim ikut membantu – kemenangannya jauh lebih besar. Saat Efraim protes, jawaban Gideon: “bukankah petikan susulan orang Efraim lebih besar?”

Rhema: ada “petikan/panen susulan” dalam pengertian yang baik maupun yang tidak baik. Yang tidak baik bisa terjadi jika kita tidak waspada !

Kej 4: 1-8
Dalam bahasa Ibrani dosa artinya miss the target
Kain adalah orang yang meleset dari target
Semua orang beri korban supaya dapat perkenan Tuhan. Hari itu Kain meleset dari target Tuhan – tidak bisa berikan yang Tuhan mau. Ketika target Tuhan tidak bisa dicapai hati Kain menjadi panas karena korban Habel diterima Tuhan. Saat Tuhan tegur – Kain tidak dengarkan, tapi malah menghindar dan meluapkan emosinya – bahkan membunuh
Harusnya Kain selesaikan dengan bertanya pada Tuhan seperti apa korban yang Tuhan inginkan.

Tuaian pertama Kain: Tuha tidak berkenan pada persembahannya
Tuaian susulan: Tuhan mengutuk Kain

Banyak orang lakukan hal ini tanpa disadari. Ada hal-hal yang kita kerjakan dan kita sadar bahwa kita miss the target. Bukannya bertobat kembali dan bertanya kepada Tuhan dimana letak miss -nya, tapi mencoba menutupi dengan banyak hal. Akibatnya semakin mengerikan.

Yes 30:1 – “.. sin to sin..” dosa ditambah dosa
Saat kita gagal minta Tuhan untuk memberikan nasehatNya – bukan karena Tuhan tidak mau, tapi karena kita yang tidak mau minta nasehat Tuhan.
Akibatnya kesalahan berbuah kesalahan, dosa berbuah dosa. Dan biasanya panen susulan lebih besar dan lebih mengerikan.
Secara positif maupun negatif hal ini terjadi.

Seandainya kita bisa jujur dengan hati kita dan jujur dengan Tuhan – bicara terbuka dengan Tuhan, maka akan luar biasa.
Kesalahannya adalah kita anggap Tuhan tidak terlalu lihat – tidak maha tahu, sehingga dengan gampang kita menipu dan memanipulasi Tuhan. Akibatnya kita akan cenderung memanipulasi orang lain. Saat kemudian terbentur sana-sini, justru berontak terhadap Tuhan dan manusia, pahit terhadap manusia lain, padahal akarnya dalam diri kita sendiri. Harusnya kita bertobat !

Kesaksian PAP
1. Ada HT yang berkarunia nabi, tajam, hobynya bongkar dosa- seringkali vulgar: menembak orang dari mimbar. PAP sering undang dia ke gereja Permata, dan hobynya “menembak” pendeta. Nabi ini karunianya membawa orang bertobat,
Lama-lama PAP tidak tahan dan marah. Saat pembantu PAP dengarkan kaset khotbah dari HT itu dan bertobat, tapi PAP keraskan hati.
Kemudian RK tanya kenapa PAP marah. Hari itu PAP belajar jujur kepada Tuhan bahwa dia tersinggung. PAP bisa berikan alasan lain, tapi jika dilakukan maka akarnya tidak pernah tersentuh dan artinya berbohong pada hati sendiri dan pada Tuhan.
Tuhan tunjukkan bahwa ketersinggungan PAP adalah kesombongan.
Tuhan berkata: jika mau besar, harus bereskan hati – yaitu kesombongan.
Ketersinggungan PAP karena sombong. Jika PAP rendah hati maka tidak akan tersinggung dan marah. Tuhan ingin PAP biarkan dirinya diproses sampai habis sehingga siap terima hal yang besar.

Seringkali kita tidak jujur dengan diri sendiri dan menyalahkan orang lain, padahal sumber masalah dalam diri kita.
! Jika kita kerjakan apapun selalu ada masalah – berhenti salahkan orang lain, jujurlah terhadap diri sendir dan Tuhan, akui apa adanya semua kesombongan kita. Itu yang akan membuat cepat selesai. Jika tidak maka malah akan berkepanjangan

2. Awal JKI lokasi di jl Gajahmada belakang gedung Majesti sekarang – samping GBI Bethany yang saat itu sedang berkembang. Di awal PAP minta ijin buka gereja kepada pdt Sebadja (gembala Bethany). Saat lihat jemaat Bethany banyak, awalnya PAP bisa ucap syukur. Jemaat GBI Bethany ribuan, JKI 25 orang saja, dan ini membuat hati PAP teriritasi dan tidak mau jujur pada Tuhan. Akhirnya kemarahan memuncak saat KKR di GBI Bethany, dan petugas parkir buka tempat parkir JKI untuk menampung mobil yang banyak tsb.
Saat hati PAP kacau dan tidak bisa berdoa, Tuhan tanyai PAP dan dijawab dengan kurang ajar. Tuhan bongkar hati PAP bahwa dia iri karena tidak sesukses GBI Bethany.
Tuhan peringatkan: jika sikap hati PAP tetap dan terus iri, tidak akan bisa berkembang. Akhirnya PAP bertobat dan mengaku bahwa dia iri, dan minta ampun ke Tuhan.
Sorenya PAP kunjungi Gembala GBI Bethany (pdt Sebadja) dan mengaku bahwa sakit hati terhadap GBI Bethany dan minta maaf karena salah di depan Tuhan, dan kemudian sumbangkan seluruh kas JKI ke GBI yang sedang membangun – sebagai tanda pertobatan kepada Tuhan.
Sejak itu hati PAP berubah – apapun perkembangan GBI Bethany – PAP ikut andil.
Setahun kemudian JKI dapatkan gedung gereja Permata, dan saat ini Holy Stadium.

Bisakah kita jujur? Sehingga tuaian susulan kita tetap tuaian yang luar biasa dan bukan tuaian yang jahat
Banyak orang yang saat usahanya gagal beberapa kali, tidak mau berhenti dan mengaku di depan Tuhan. Tapi seringkali coba dengan segala cara manusia.

Ketidakmauan kita untuk jujur terhadap diri sendiri dan Tuhan akan membuat panen susulan kita bukan panen susulan yang baik, justru merupakan panen susulan yang mengerikan.

Pastikan bahwa panen susulan kita selalu lebih baik.

Jika hari ini ada orang-orang yang merugikan kita atau membuat kita marah, belajar diampuni – kebaskan! Jangan sampai itu jadi benih yang mengakar di hidup kita.
Jika mengakar – akan merusak kita dan kita tidak akan pernah kemana-mana, karena akar yang sudah membusuk dan rusak itu akhirnya akan meracuni hidup rohani kita.

Tuhan punya rencana yang besar, ada banyak orang terhambat berkatnya karena tidak mau selesaikan, mengampuni, dan jujur

Mari jujur terhadap diri sendiri dan Tuhan sehingga panen susulan kita makin ajaib dan luar biasa

Pohon yang tidak berbuah akan ditebang, carang yang berbuah dibersihkan supaya semakin lebat buahnya
