Psychologizing the Faith - Counseling Gods Way

“I FOUND IT NECESSARY TO WRITE TO YOU EXHORTING YOU TO CONTEND EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH WHICH WAS ONCE FOR ALL DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS” – JUDE 1:3Earnestly contending for the faith includes the ministry of reproof, the pointing out of wrong or error. Many Christians assume that to do such is an automatic violation of Jesus’ commandment not to judge (Matthew 7:1). Certainly, we must not take the place of the ultimate judge over people’s lives. We know neither the motives of men’s hearts nor the measures of justice and mercy that God may unfold for them. However, we are responsible before the Lord to discern false prophets. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). We are also responsible to expose and warn against such false teaching, just like Jesus did. “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees” (Matthew 16:6).Introduction:The Ministry of Counseling:• Isaiah 9:6 and Psalm 119:24The Problem of Sin:• Romans 5:12 and 17The Call to Discipleship:• Matthew 28:19 and Luke 9:23The Sufficiency of Christ:• Colossians 2:9-10 and 3:4,11Sufficiency of God's Word:• 2 Timothy 3:16-17The Work of the Holy Spirit:• John 16:13-14 and 2 Corinthians 3:18The Supreme Goal of Knowing God:• Philippians 3:8,10 and 2 Peter 1:2-3For The Full Study on Counseling Gods Way:  24 Audio Messages & Notes“AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR…” —ISAIAH 9:6A tragic, growing crisis is facing the Lord’s church concerning the ministry of counseling. An increasing number of churches and church leaders are forsaking God’s way of counseling and turning to man’s ways. They are relying more on psychological theories and less on the word of God. They are turning to the “experts” of the world instead of to the family of God. Counseling God’s Way is a call for God’s people to return to Jesus as our Wonderful Counselor, so that we may avoid the pitfalls of following after man’s wisdom, and trust the Lord Jesus for His infinite, reliable riches that are ours in Christ.Send Us a Topic or Question you want to see covered.Find Us & Follow, Likes n Share helps our Reach.-Amos37 Website-Amos37 on Facebook-Amos37 on Instagram-Amos37 on Rumble-Amos37 on Gettr-Amos37 on Gab-Amos37 on Parler
