The Great Divorce Remarried Part 4: Counseling

When the Church compromised Biblical Authority, Biblical Sufficiency quickly went by the way side as well.  Why is this so important?  Biblical Sufficiency is critical because if the Bible is not sufficient as a groundwork for life application, then it becomes useless.  

However, it is sufficient. ¹⁶All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;¹⁷so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

The Church must reclaim counseling for the glory of God.  We must stop referring lost (and saved for that matter) souls to secular sources for guidance.  The fundamental answers to life abide in the Scriptures and not in the Halls of Babylon! Amen!  True Christians, especially pastors/elders, must stand in the gap and boldly declare that the Word of God is what transforms hearts.  

The vain philosophies of men lead only to destruction and greater idolatry.  We need not refer people out to those who espouse secular psychologies as means for transformation, for these 'experts' are not equipped to go to the heart of the matter: the sinful rebellious heart.  On the contrary, the Christian who is trained and armed with the Word of God is a powerful instrument in the Hands of a Holy God who can bring down strongholds in anyone's life! Amen!

To Him be the glory alone! Amen!
