Me:\u00a0 Prodigal, what are you talking to Freud about?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Counseling.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I was just reading about counseling.\u00a0 I will share.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from The Christian Counselor’s Manual by Jay E. Adams<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The scriptures plainly teach, God holds each one of us personally responsible for his thoughts, words, and actions regardless of external pressures and influences:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All blame-shifting and excuses will evaporate in that day before the searching gaze of the One whose eyes are “as a flame of fire.”\u00a0 The sophisticated Freudian or behavioristic theories that now seem so conveniently plausible and that are used to justify and excuse men of their responsibility to God will be shown to be futile and false.\u00a0 In His presence, men in anguish will wonder at the naivete that they once called sophistication.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Counseling is not wrong and of course it can help, but remember that the Lord is the best counselor so with His word and Holy Spirit you will get the best results.\u00a0 Sometimes that result may mean that we have to look at our own sin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John 6:35<\/p>\n

I am the bread of life.\u00a0 Whoever comes to Me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.<\/p>\n
