Indonesia Past and Present Context (Overview)
The Indonesian nation formerly fought against the colonizing nations that robs everything that belongs to both the nation 's natural wealth, pride and dignity of the nation. In this struggle of the Indonesian nation faces not just one or dozens of years, but faced with hundreds of years. It was only in 1945 precisely in the months August 17 Indonesian nation gain independence. The Indonesian nation is currently filling the independence of the various efforts, hard work and efforts to achieve a prosperous and affluent countries. Conscious or not, hope to prosper certainly something that is not easy, but something that is very difficult to achieve. Why do I say as something that is very difficult, because Indonesia is a large country is currently faced with various problems both in government and the religious. In government was faced with various problems of corruption, collusion and nepotism and even preached today's hustle is the problem of terrorism. Terrorism is like a very scary monsterand anytime, anywhere even anyone can be affected. State terrorism in Indonesia is like a time bomb that could explode at any time and can take some victims are not just hundreds but thousands or millions of people.
Terrorism is like a grown -thousand dead expression meaning something that is difficult to be destroyed because of one person arrested will be born more than one person. Two major problems, namely corruption and terrorism that is currently being fought by the entire people of Indonesia. Both corruption and terrorism that is the colonizer who not only robs all things belong to the nation but also the people who killed unarmed and helpless (cf. moment which divides the nation against the invaders themselves with various tools of war such as bamboo spears). But now we as a nation Indonesia is not against the corrupt and the terrorists by doing the same thing , but beyond that is just as ordinary people. Terrorism and corruption should be fought by the whole community whether ethnic, or Tribe. In other words there is no interest and any religion that requires actions that lead to the Corruption and Terrorism , every tribe and religion calls for peace and tranquility. How does the role of Christians in the independence? As the nation's independence from colonial shackles of other nations, has been fitting for us to appreciate and give meaning to independence.
Christian community to understand that the independence of Indonesia on the occupiers is a blessing and gift from God. What should we make of these blessings and grace? Church in which believers must stay on the real goal of independence. Something that must be avoided is about corruption and about terrorism. Both the Corruption and Terrorism are two things that can not be approved or justified. Be a Christian who truly responsible for this country, or against God. As the church must foster fellowship among all men so that most small and great, rich, poor, masters, servants, respected, able to participate despicable thankful God-given freedom to all people. The believer should fight for the common life that upholds justice and truth and also be a light to the darkness, straightened what is crooked or give forgiveness. It is very unfortunate when the church as an institution or individual is the bottleneck of the independence.
Churches in Indonesia live in the midst of the nation's independence, the independence of the church deserves to be a blessing, a light and a good salt. The Church can not affirm his people to do acts of corruption, collusion, nepotism and terrorism. It must be questionable if there are people who believe in doing the actions described in this paper, which is not only the independence but hinder or deny the nature of freedom itself. Lord Jesus Christ commands us believers in Him to be a blessing or a hindrance rather than a thorn. Indonesian Church of God on earth shall be responsible in directing the entire life of the nation, so that year after year in the life of our nation and state will be more dignified and humane.
