Often individuals or families require confidential assistance with a variety of emotional or relationship issues. Biblical counseling is able to provide assistance to those seeking help in their time of need.  The biblical counselor assists those in need through attentive listening, incorporating the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God’s Holy Word, and prayer. There is opportunity to receive comfort, guidance, deliverance and inner healing.

Why seek biblical counsel instead of psychology?  Here are four questions to ask concerning psychology:

♦ Does psychology oblige human beings to acknowledge God and give glory to Him?
♦ Does  psychology  stabilize human society by giving a special sanction to the moral law?
♦ Does psychology distinguish good and evil and hold evil in check?
♦Does psychology esteem God’s truth or something else that Scripture calls the “wisdom of the world?”

Biblical counseling directs you to apply biblical truths to daily living problems.  One can find hope and experience personal growth.  In God’s faithfulness, He abundantly extends grace, forgiveness, and healing to those who call upon Him.

Marriage Counseling
God created and instituted marriage in the Garden of Eden.  He Himself set forth the terms, performed the first marriage ceremony and established marriage as the basic institution of society.  Only as Christ works within the marriage can there be genuine, lasting unity.  It is a myth to assume that compatibility is the sum total of similar likes and dislikes.  Husbands and wives must grow as individuals in conformity to Christ in order to be compatible with each other.
