Be a part of testifying to Christ and to the sufficiency of His Word!

Through Scripture, a counselee was able to see how even though she had been hurt and sinned against by another, her response demonstrated that she was more concerned about herself than her Lord. She learned that her greatest enemy was not her suffering or the person who caused her harm but, rather, the enemy is herself and her self-sufficiency. She learned that God, in His sovereignty and wisdom, uses suffering to kill the enemy. This truth first convicted her of her sin of worshiping self, and then encouraged her to go to the cross for forgiveness, praying for His grace to be able to live a life that honors Him rather than self. This truth freed her from self pity and victimhood and showed her the purpose of her suffering…becoming more like Christ so that He might be glorified.

 I praised God so many times throughout biblical counseling training as I saw my counselees experience the power of God’s Word change their lives as they became more reliant and satisfied in Him. They were able to dig into their problems, not to get relief, but to be fully redeemed to Christ.
