Yesterday I got all fired up about a Christian writing a psychological article on a Biblical Counseling web site. I could hardly contain myself and I may have skipped a few steps for some. I tried to tone it down by asking questions and saying very little. I thought I would go back today and […]
Biblical Counseling or Psychology
I ran across this article the other day. It starts out: Glenna twists a Kleenex in her hands and looks out the window of the counseling office.

Joy: With Us At All Times
by Matt Meyer Renae and I enjoy listening to a podcast by the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Albert Mohler, called “The Briefing”. In it Mohler analyzes current events and news from a Christian World View in tight, daily, 20 minute episodes. This week, one of the news bits was linked to a […]
