In the first session or two of counseling I usually give watching my video, “How To Confess Your Sin,” as homework. I also tell the folks that they need to do what I say to do in the video, which is to confess their sin to God and to anyone they have sinned against. If I […]
Over the years I’ve noticed that what motivates people to change is not always telling them things they need to hear. Sometimes, maybe usually, it involves creating the kind of relationship with the person that will change them via presence and love.

Hi there. Thank you for reading the posts and asking when you think I’ve gone off the rails. Before I get to the scripture, let me explain a bit more about what I mean by “God could release you….” I mentioned that in this post. The simplest way I can say this is that when […]
I’ve noticed over the years that what motivates people to change is not always telling them things they need to hear. Sometimes, maybe usually, it involves creating the kind of relationship with the person that will change them via presence and love. So, if a boss is being mean to his employees, it rarely helps […]
Earlier I mentioned that wanting someone else’s belongings, gifts, abilities, or looks is covetousness.
