The Bible has answers. Through a knowledge of God, we have “everything pertaining to life and godliness” we need to know (2 Pet 1:3). Scripture is an unending handbook of solutions for life’s problems (cf. 2 Tim 3:16-17). As a result, the church is the place where the shepherding and counseling of God’s people is to be done. Because of the sufficiency, relevance, and power of the Scriptures, biblical counseling is the solution for the struggles of the fallen flesh. Secular psychology and the most recent methodologies have no place in the care for the Christian wherever they contradict the Word of God. Counseling the believer through the Scriptures brings heart change, not just behavior modification.
