Two Theories of Biblical Counseling

Author Jay E. Adams' book "How to Help People Change" is very encouraging to me. It seems to be based entirely on the word of God and I support it as my personal counseling method. Psalm 119: 24 The version of King James' Your testimonies are also my pleasure and my advisor. "Adams believes that the process of change can only be done from the inside out and from the use of Christian principles I will. In order to change the behavior of a person, we need to change our mind. In Psalm 51: 6, the Bible says, "Look, you want the truth in the inner part, you must inform the wisdom to the hidden part."

There are some important subtle differences in Bible counseling, such as lawyer qualifications and counseling methods, but Biblical counseling is a personal mini of enough God's words tailored to the people It is a story. Because Bible counseling is a sort of "spiritual research" or "science of mind and behavior", it is a kind of psychology, so this is very interesting (Powlison, Counseling: a way of counseling biblically). Like psychology, Bible counseling also focuses on soul and human behavior (American Psychological Association). But in order to tackle psychology it is important that Biblical counseling is dedicated to the fact that the authority of the word of God must be dedicated to the expression of the soul and the essence of human behavior. This is where Bible counseling psychology is different from secular psychology.

For a long time, a very different approach to counseling has dominated the mission field. Many missionaries often received advice that sounds like a Bible, but they are delicately fusing secular theories and guidance beyond the Bible. Rather than acknowledge that such secular inferences include inclusion of God 's word is enough to solve all aspects of life, it is more obvious that the divine sovereignty and its obvious all - There is a tendency to weaken the help. It often interworks the word of God (wisdom of God) with secular psychology (human wisdom). Through this integration, it does not see the need to penetrate inner thought and confusion of one's soul. Truth with God (Hebrews 4:12) As a result, this compromise leads to confusion and doubt of God 's discourse rights, its validity and validity, thereby bringing lasting hope and change in the lives of believers.
