*Warning: my next several posts will probably have alot to do with counseling as I read through some different books on biblical counseling. I will appreciate any comments/concerns about what I post. Thanks!
Over the past year I was challenged so much that scripture is so very relevant for EVERYTHING in my life. I spent this year reading through the Bible. As I read I looked for evidence of God's sovereignity (someone told me once that God's sovereignity is the best source of comfort through trials, especially death--they have been right); I have also been looking for commands for me and also things I should be teaching my kids as their mom. A while back after reading only two chapters in I Corinthians I was awe struck with the thought that in those two short chapters so many questions could be answered, so many directions given in my life, so many words of encouragement. I felt so full after reading it. I have a very difficult time even reading one chapter a day...gives me so many thoughts to chew on.
So, how can we say we need more than that to answer life?
I have been reading this book about Biblical Counseling. One of the things that the author points out is how the "other" camps bring in so many of their own methods and philosphy. She listed several different types of therapies and philosphies that they use. I had no idea. She points out the premis for each. None of those methods begin with the premis of "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness. . ." Instead it starts with either the evolutionary theory or that man is only a material being, no real spiritual side, more like a machine that is a product of his/her environment.
