Top Highlights
“An idol is anything that we want more than obedience to God. In the example of Michael—the angry husband and father—his desire was to please himself first.” (source)
“your counsel will be biblical when you correctly understand the situation of your contemporary audience—your counselee.” (source)
“The central focus of real biblical counseling is not man and his problems; rather, the central focus is God’s glory and how man is handling his problems from God’s perspective. God is the central figure in biblical counseling, not man (2 Corinthians 5:9).” (source)
“Biblical counseling is at its root supernatural, involving the actual Spirit of God sending out His counsel through biblical counselors who teach and apply the Word of God to the needs of another person.” (source)
“Someone else’s words or actions may become the occasion of our anger, but the cause lies deep within us—usually our pride, or selfishness, or desire to control.” (source)
