The Faithful Use Of Scripture In Counseling
To some Christians who are routine or vocational counselors, one might ask, “Are you using the Bible in your counseling?” But for those who are using Scripture when they counsel, the question might be, “Are you using it well?” We expect our pastors, authors, teachers, and ministry leaders to handle Scripture with skill and integrity. Shouldn’t we expect the same from our counselors? Sadly, and strangely, this is too often not the case. But good counselors are good theologians, and good theologians are reliable stewards of the Word.
