144: Foundations in Biblical Counseling

Let's talk about the foundations of biblical counseling. How does the Lord deal with truth? How does He touch lives? How does He bring warning? What are the purposes when you study biblical counseling?

Hear from God and be counseled.

Every believer in Christ needs the counsel of God regularly. We want counseling for ourselves. We want God to counsel us His way. Receiving counsel is good specially if it’s from the Lord. The biggest thing that God does is that He counsels us. You are going to receive counsel from God if you are expecting it.

Be equipped to counsel others and be an instrument of God’s counsel.

Allow God to equip us a bit to give counsel His way. We want to learn to give counsel God’s way. We want to be approved unto God not unto man. We are all called to learn to give Godly counsel. Every Christian is called upon to give God’s counsel regularly. We are not called in the Kingdom of God to lean upon human experts but upon God. We need to ask the Lord to use us instrumentally to use us to share His counsel to others.

Be warned of humanistic intrusion into the church.

There’s always a minor theme of warning. These are warnings concerning counseling man’s way. Be willing to take notice of the corruption along the way. Matthew 16.

Equipping People for Biblical Counseling

One of the goals of Biblical Counseling Academy (BCA) is to encourage and help pastors (and those in ministries, preparing for ministry, and who want to administer more). Our heart goes out to senior leaders with how they deal with spiritual warfare, perplexities, and day-to-day surprises.

BCA was founded with this in mind – for people out there that want to hear God’s counsel, want to be equipped for counsel, want to be warned, and they want the Word of God speak.
