Our standard for our practice as Biblical Counselors
Our Biblical Counselors Commitment to YOU
► Biblical Counselors must acknowledge that human beings struggle with Biological, Sociological, and Soul-focused problems.
► Biblical Counselors should encourage the use of biological examinations and testing by competent providers for diagnosis of biological problems, the treatment of these problems for healing these problems, or at the very least, the relief of symptoms, which might cause, contribute to, or complicate counseling issues, if appropriate.
► Biblical Counselors should help their counselees respond Biblically to Biological problems but support the non-physical, Soul-focused interventions as a proper response to problems with the medical element. Reject any teaching that excludes the importance of the Soul and the functionality of God, which leads to the blessing of medical care.
► Biblical Counselors reject the notion that medical interventions solve non-physical, Soul-focused problems. Biblical Counselors embrace the use of medical treatments for a cure and symptom relief when evidence-based, but deny that medical care is sufficient for soul-focused, non-biological issues, which require the Power and Authority of God and His Word for ultimate relief and lasting Healing.
► Biblical Counselors shall be committed to counseling those with medical problems but should not attempt to practice medicine without formal qualifications and licensing to do so. When Biblical Counselors have medical questions or concerns, they must refer their counselee to a competent medical professional for diagnosis and treatment. Biblical Counselors shall nurture a Soul-focused humility, understanding that many issues at the nexus of body and Soul defy simplicity. Biblical Counselors recognize that many problems are combinations of Biological and Soulological-focused issues.
► Biblical Counselors do not reject the true observations found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders but reject the DSM as an authoritative guide for understanding the cause and treatment of complex problems of human thinking, emotions, and behavior. Biblical Counselors accept and understand that the DSM helps organize human suffering into clusters of categories that may prompt focused attention and may help identify troubling patterns of the human experience that their counselee struggles with. They affirm that God's Word in the Bible serves as an Authoritative guide. Biblical Counselors trust Biblical language to refer to and understand counselees' counseling problems. Biblical Counselors are committed to applying the teachings in the Bible to understand the causes of those problems and their treatments.
► Biblical Counselors understand God extends His general empathy to all of his creation and the people within it by making provisions for their physical needs and granting them intellectual gifts. This general empathy, also known as common grace, allows secular unbelievers to comprehend facts in science. It is why those who trust Him can affirm the true information that unbelieving secular humans come to understand. God’s intimate empathy, known as specific grace, is His offer to humanity: salvation through reconciliation for those who trust in Him.
► God’s common grace cannot overcome the responsibility of the Torah placed on all of humanity without extraordinary saving empathy. This reality guarantees that, though unbelieving secular humans can know many facts, they will misunderstand information that is most central to the human condition and, therefore, the meaningful purpose of life, which includes information about God, the human condition, and its solution in His empathy and His Torah.
► The primary element of Biblical Counseling includes (YHVH), God’s Word, which reveals the nature of the human condition and God’s solution; the secular counseling methods are ultimately at odds with the unique Biblical approach to the counseling therapy of healing.
► Biblical Counselors are committed to Biblical discernment and understanding the nature of Soul-focused issues and to dealing with offenses to God through gentle, God-focused correction.
► Biblical Counselors are committed to Biblical discernment in understanding the nature of Soul focused issues and to dealing with suffering through God-centered encouragement.
► Biblical Counselors are committed to Biblical discernment in understanding the nature of Soul focused issues and to dealing with weakness through compassionate, empathetic care in the context of the body of the Son of God through Sociological issues.
"My people are silenced for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being a priest to me; seeing that you have forgotten the Torah of your God, I, too, will forget your children." (Hoshea 4:6)
Counseling involves
Counseling involves establishing a time-limited relationship structured to comfort troubled people by deepening their awareness of our CREATOR God's empathy and trustworthy presence, thereby increasing their ability to live their lives fully in light of these realizations.
