Biblical Counseling Podcast

Living daily by God's grace depends upon getting to know Him and then walking in the humility and faith that result from fellowship with Him.  There are four ways to relate rightly to the Lord in humility and faith:  Living By The Spirit,  Living By Resurrection Power,  Living By The Sufficiency Of God Living By The Promises Of God. (Matthew 28:19 NKJV) (19) "Go therefore and make disciples of all...

The season of Christmas is a memorable time for many people. The special holidays and decorations accompany festive gatherings and events, especially those events centered around the incarnation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Yet, some people do not see Christmas as a time of celebration but a season of pain. Consumer Christmas and social media consistently remind us about the items we lack or t...

Biblical counselors face criticisms for believing that Scripture contains everything that we need for counseling others. Many psychologists label this thinking as simplistic. Are biblical counselors simplistic by believing in the sufficiency of God's Word? How do we think about the complexities of secular psychology and the simplicity of the Christian message?  In this week's episode of the Biblic...

[Jude 1:3 NKJV]  Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, 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.

(Acts 2:23 NKJV) (23) "Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; The Bible shows us something amazing: God's plan and what people do are always working together.

God's Sovereignty and Man's Free Will The Election by God "...elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father..."

TRINITY The concept of the Trinity is the idea of three in one. We have one God, consisting of three persons. Another term that somewhat captures this idea is: Triunity.   What we are doing is using a term to describe something that exists—a descriptive term—because words like Trinity and Triunity are not found in the Bible. Let's acknowledge that to anyone who argues against the Trinity.  Yes, th...
