Eclecticism is the thought that Christian counselors can take advantage of modern psychologies to enhance their counsel. It often comes on the heels of the following statement: “All truth is God’s truth, but not all truth is in the Bible.” From there, the argument proceeds to look at the problems in the world around us […]
The Scriptures Are sufficient for Biblical Counseling
In the same way that an automobile owner’s manual is the best source for information regarding a particular car, the Bible is the best source for understanding the world God made. The biggest problem people have, living with one another and in the world, is that they try to live in it without looking at […]
He is Risen
By Lisa Leidenfrost He is risen and everything changed. Death has lost its power and can no longer bind us.
