Base Scripture

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence, by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature. For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ( 2 Peter 1: 3-8)


What is Bible Based Counseling?

Bible based counseling is the integration of Biblical principles with traditional counseling. Knowing that God IS the “Wonderful Counselor”, everything we need for our healing is in the Word of God. Isaiah 9:6

Based upon the authority of God and Scripture, genuine Biblical Counseling derives it's understanding of God and man from the Scriptures. Our counseling practice has a high view of the sovereignty and power of God and must be based on inspiration, infallibility, inerrancy, and absolute sufficiency of the Word of God.

Attributes of a Biblical Counselor

• Genuine Biblical Counseling is loving and gentle in its application of the Scripture. Galatians 6:1 focuses on truth, based on solid Biblical study and is dependent on the work of the Holy Spirit.
  
• Biblical counselors realize that we cannot read the hearts of those we counsel and God alone is able to understand the deepest thoughts, motives, confusions and sins of the counselee.
  
• A Biblical counselor does not rely on his own "expertise" or credentials to delve into the "subconscious" regions of the mind. Rather, he relies on the truths of the Scripture as the Holy Spirit convicts with power (John 16:8, Acts 2:3). Therefore, leading the person to repentance and restoration, not just help the person feel better temporarily, but to relieve guilt and lead to spiritual maturity. (Ephesians 4:12-13)

Genuine Biblical Counseling is church-based and is a not for profit-motivated ministry. At Love and Faith Christian Fellowship, the Biblically based counseling ministry is under the authority of and accountable to a local body of believers, the pastor and elders.
