biblical principles of counseling
Christian Counseling is providing guidance and instruction based upon the principles set forth in the Bible and taught and adhered to by Jesus Christ.

It is a fact of life today that Christians may be affected with all the sinful practices and maladies to which human flesh is heir and that we will retain this potential until the day we are received into glory.
