Biblical Counseling

 Biblical Counseling is the personal ministry of God's Word. It is a process where a follower of Jesus Christ offers loving direction and comfort to someone, according to the truth and power of God's Word, under the ministry of His Holy Spirit. It is an aspect of discipleship focused on the application of God's Word into life challenges, trials and daily life.

Pillars of Biblical Counseling: 1) Rooted in God. 2) Exalts Jesus Christ. 3) Empowered by the Holy Spirit.

ABC (Association of Biblical Counselors) seeks to encourage followers of Jesus Christ to know, cherish, and honor Him as they minister His Word to one another while supporting each other in Love.

1 Peter 4:11 says it best "Whoever speaks is to do so as one is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory, and dominion forever and ever. Amen"
