Is so-called Biblical Counseling truly biblical- So much of what is called biblical counseling today is simply an understandable reaction to humanistic psychology. Pummeling people with Bible verses is not biblical counseling. We should seek the comfort and encouragement of the Scriptures, but only in accord with our reliance upon the Spirit. Genuine Christian counseling is a spiritual endeavor which should instruct and provide care with the gentleness of the Spirit -Galatians 6-1-.
