What are the advantages of a trained Christian Counselor?
The Christian counselor is trained in the use of Scripture and the principles of biblical counseling. He is committed to the position that Scripture provides the only authoritative rule of faith and standard of conduct (2 Timothy 3:16-17). He does not base his counseling on his own opinions, experience, or concepts of behavior (Isaiah 55:8-11); but seeks to marshal the full range of biblical truth into focus on the counselee’s need (Hebrews 4:12). In counseling sessions, he will hold to the essential truths of Scripture without particular theological emphasis on any practice not specifically advocated in Scriptures (Titus 2:1).
