What's on your mind?
In creating this blog, one of my intentions is to address issues in our culture that relate to one's faith or belief. If you visit this blog and have questions about who Jesus is, belief in God, what happens after death, the Bible, or any other issue of culture and faith, please submit them by comment and I or a guest blogger will attempt to answer/address your questions. I say we will attempt to answer/address because I am very aware that my/our knowledge is limited; however, we will do our best to find an answer(s) to your question or comment. Thanks for visiting All 4 His Glory!
Biblical counseling, with a big "B" or a little "b"?
In reflecting upon a conversation that was recounted to me by a close friend, I felt compelled to blog on the issue that was discussed. My friend, who will remain anonymous, had a conversation with a co-worker who is a fellow seminarian. This co-worker, who will also remain anonymous, posited a particular train of thought in regards to counseling. The thought was that counseling can/should be conducted using a little "b" as opposed to a big "B." What does that mean? The point was that counseling should be conducted with a little bit of Bible (thus the little "b") as opposed to a lot of Bible or the Bible alone (thus the big "B"). The co-worker went on to comment that counseling is based more on the offering of one's opinion to someone than any referent of objective (as opposed to subjective) or absolute truth. More on this later but, what happened to Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone)?
