Secular psychology and Biblical principles? - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

There is a place for godly counsel, and sometimes the godly counsel hurts. But there is a time when it's NOT time YET for the counsel, because it would make the opposite effect. The person is not yet ready- and no one likes to be pushed. I think there is a place to consider what stage a person is at in their emotional health. Otherwise you will lose them. (Kinda like evangelism, isn't it?) So, how are we to know? Sounds like the time for the Holy Spirit to me! There is no reason the Spirit couldn't be invited into ANY line of work where one is dealing with souls at sensitive times. _________________________ Gail gail@adventistforum.com And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

The verse in Deuteronomy talks about having "been long enough on this mountain". IOW, the time came to move forward. So she did, with positive results. What a delicate work this is!! _________________________ Gail gail@adventistforum.com And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
