Biblical Counsel for a ChangeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the idea of seeking professional counsel versus relying solely on God's word in handling life's problems. He questions the practice of charging for counseling services, particularly among Christian counselors, as he believes that scripture should be sufficient. Gregg argues that relying on psychology can have blasphemous implications and suggests that the Bible alone can provide solutions. He emphasizes the importance of trusting in God and the transformative power of prayer in overcoming unrighteous behaviors and finding strength and righteousness in Christ.
