This research examines God as the initiator of cross-cultural missions through a case study of mission transformation in the life of the Apostle Peter. Departing from the existing research gap, namely the need to reflect on the nature of God who loves other nations through a change in Peter's perspective, this study aims to show that God is the initiator of salvation for all mankind. The significance of this study is to encourage the church to see cross-cultural missions as an important approach in transmitting God's love to those who have not yet repented. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this study finds that Peter's encounter with Cornelius was a crucial turning point in early Christian missionary work. The experience radically changed Peter's narrow understanding of who was worthy of receiving the gospel, extending from just Jews to all nations. The descent of the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius and his family is clear evidence to Peter that God's grace is impartial and available to every believer. This event was not only a personal lesson for Peter, but also a revelation of God that opened the door for the gospel to reach the Gentile world, fundamentally changing the course of church history.   Penelitian ini mengkaji Allah sebagai penggagas misi lintas budaya melalui studi kasus transformasi misi dalam kehidupan Rasul Petrus. Berangkat dari kesenjangan penelitian yang ada, yaitu kebutuhan untuk merefleksikan sifat Allah yang mengasihi bangsa lain melalui perubahan cara pandang Petrus, studi ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa Allah adalah inisiator keselamatan bagi seluruh umat manusia. Signifikansi penelitian ini adalah untuk mendorong gereja agar melihat misi lintas budaya sebagai pendekatan penting dalam menularkan kasih Allah kepada mereka yang belum bertobat. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa perjumpaan Petrus dengan Kornelius merupakan titik balik krusial dalam karya misi Kekristenan awal. Pengalaman tersebut secara radikal mengubah pemahaman sempit Petrus mengenai siapa yang layak menerima Injil, meluas dari hanya orang Yahudi menjadi semua bangsa. Turunnya Roh Kudus kepada Kornelius dan keluarganya menjadi bukti nyata bagi Petrus bahwa kasih karunia Allah tidak memandang bulu dan tersedia bagi setiap orang yang percaya. Peristiwa ini tidak hanya menjadi pelajaran pribadi bagi Petrus, melainkan juga wahyu Allah yang membuka pintu bagi Injil untuk menjangkau dunia non-Yahudi, secara fundamental mengubah arah sejarah gereja.

The development of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) in East Kalimantan presents significant legal challenges regarding local communities' land ownership. Although regulations such as Law Number 3 of 2022 on the National Capital, Law Number 2 of 2012 on Land Procurement for Public Interest Development, and Law Number 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles provide legal protection mechanisms, the reality on the ground indicates various obstacles in implementing these laws. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the legal protection available for land ownership held by local communities in the development of IKN. Additionally, it seeks to identify challenges related to the implementation of the prevailing legal framework. An empirical juridical approach is employed to examine legislative provisions and field realities, including conflicts arising in the land acquisition process. The findings reveal that legal protection remains hindered by a lack of transparency, weak access to justice for local communities, and uncertainty in the compensation mechanism. Consequently, improving transparency, strengthening regulations, and ensuring active community involvement in every stage of land procurement are crucial to prevent the development of IKN from compromising the rights of local communities.

This study uses a qualitative method to provide an in-depth description of the strategic role of village funds within the State Budget (APBN) in improving the welfare of rural communities. Village funds allocated by the central government aim to accelerate development, reduce regional disparities, and strengthen economic independence at the village level. This research examines the mechanisms of distribution, management, and utilization of village funds and relates them to welfare indicators such as income, access to basic services, and economic empowerment. The results show that when managed transparently, accountably, and with community participation, village funds can improve quality of life through infrastructure development, better education and health services, and the growth of micro and small enterprises. However, challenges such as weak capacity of village officials, corruption practices, and lack of supervision remain obstacles that must be addressed. Therefore, synergy between central and regional governments and the community is key to the successful implementation of village funds.

This research aims to analyze the trade-off between unemployment and inflation, as well as government policies from an Islamic perspective. Inflation and unemployment issues remain primary challenges for governments in maintaining economic stability. Unlike conventional economic perspectives that accept the trade-off between these two variables, Islamic economics offers a more integrative and holistic approach. Using a literature review method, this study analyzes various literature related to the relationship between unemployment and inflation from both conventional and Islamic economic perspectives. Research findings reveal that in conventional economics, the Phillips Curve depicts a trade-off between unemployment and inflation in the short term, though its validity is questioned in the long term. In contrast, from an Islamic economic perspective, there is no dichotomy between reducing unemployment and controlling inflation, as both can be addressed simultaneously through a just economic system aligned with Sharia principles. Islamic economics offers solutions through strengthening the real sector, profit-sharing financial systems, and implementing zakat, infaq, and waqf instruments that can create employment without generating inflationary pressures. This research provides insights into government policies that align with Sharia values in addressing current macroeconomic challenges.

The development of the Islamic economy globally continues to show an encouraging increase. However, in Indonesia, Islamic financial literacy and inclusion are still relatively low. One of the main challenges is the gap between theoretical understanding and application of Islamic financial products, especially among Gen-Z students. This study aims to evaluate students' level of knowledge about Islamic finance and their tendency to manage their personal finances, as well as identify factors that hinder the use of Islamic financial services. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through questionnaires. A total of 77 students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) became respondents in this study. The results obtained show that although students have a fairly good level of literacy and high interest in the Islamic financial system, it has not been followed by real practice in everyday life. The findings emphasize the need to increase educational efforts, utilize digital media more effectively, and strengthen the accessibility of Islamic financial services among the younger generation.
