Sin or Sickness

Biblical Counsel for a ChangeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the concept of change and counseling from a biblical perspective, emphasizing that transformation is possible through God's guidance. He highlights the distinction between sinful behavior and sickness, asserting that those engaged in self-destructive behaviors can find themselves unable to change despite their desire to do so. Gregg argues that personal responsibility and the freedom to make choices are integral to the Christian faith. He challenges the notion that mental illness is solely a physical ailment, suggesting that psychological and spiritual aspects should also be considered when addressing mental health issues.
