Ezra means helper. Ezra was a prophet sent by God to lead the Israelites after the exile. After the exile ended, the Israelites intended to build a temple for God. They face many challenges and obstacles, but when God is with them everything can be overcome easily. Just like us today, when we surrender to God everything we want, God will suffice. Just as in building God's house of worship, the Israelites were so enthusiastic when they wanted to build God's house, we too as God's congregation should have the same commitment as the Israelites in building God's house. Because that is one form in which we glorify God and how we give what is best for God. We must emulate the Israelites with great enthusiasm. When they laid the first stone in the construction of God's house, they were very happy, they praised God, sang and played musical instruments such as the harp, ciracap and also the trumpet. Even among all the shouts of cheers and songs of joy, there were also those among them who were crying, moved by what they had been through so far. Such great enthusiasm enabled the Israeli people to do this and overcome all the challenges in their lives.

Oaths play a crucial role in human life, particularly in religious and cultural aspects. This paper elucidates the concept of oaths as an endeavor to bolster the veracity of a statement by invoking sacred entities such as God. In Israeli culture, oaths are regarded seriously and involve the name of God, with the threat of divine punishment if the oath is breached. Challenges for Christians arise when they encounter the influences of local culture and traditions, such as the Tippu’ Sasa oath ritual of the Mentawai tribe, which contradicts biblical teachings. Therefore, a profound understanding of oaths and the challenges of maintaining the sanctity of the Christian faith amidst local culture becomes imperative. This underscores that oaths are not merely verbal acts but also reflect profound spiritual commitments, serving as the foundation for a meaningful and responsible life.

Christian leadership is leadership that needs to be done well based on biblical evidence. A Christian leader cannot be called a Christian leader if he does not live according to his foundation, which is the Bible.
