Counseling with a Biblical Perspective

The Bible has predicted that in the future, living conditions would become tougher and tougher for the Christian who is trying to live a godly life. If a Christian does not establish or root himself or herself in the word of God, they may get bogged down by the troubles that accompany their day to day lives. As the Apostle Paul had once said, we cannot get away from this world and encouraged Christians to live by the Word of God in order to triumph over the difficulties of temporal life.

As a Christian pastor and counsellor, Dr. Frey at http://christiancounselingwithdrfrey.com has the necessary skills to provide you with the Biblical teachings and concepts that God has taught His children about how to live this present life. This is a very important aspect especially since the world offers a lot of “alternative therapies” for emotional and mental suffering which is characteristic of modern living. The Bible offers the ultimate answers and solutions to these problems that will provide peace and security for the human heart.

The Christian is instructed to live in the world but not to live by its standards. The Lord has told us that the wisdom of the world passes away but the Word of God stands forever. Thus, there is no other reliable source of knowledge on how you can cope with the problems that you face in life than the Word of God. You may have seen plenty of psychological approaches to healing man’s problems but they have all become obsolete or refuted by newer scientific studies and researches. But, with the Bible, you can see that more and more findings are beginning to establish its validity as well as the effectiveness of the approach that are written in it.

It is a normal part of life to encounter different types of problems even God’s chosen people had their own share of them. You will see King David’s many problems ranging from a rebellious son to the death of his child which was born through his infidelity. There had also been others who have suffered unfairly in the hands of other people who were driven by greed and ambition. There are many accounts of people who were lamenting their misfortunes in life such as Job and Psalms and from them, we can also learn of how we can cope with these problems.

But the Bible had also designated pastors as “shepherds” of God’s flock who need to watch and care for them like a “gentle nurse” as the Apostle Paul had stated. Dr. Frey’s expertise in providing advice and counselling for people had been acquired through years of study and serving as a minister to his church. One of the unique things about being a pastor is that not only does it provide him with the intellectual skills in dealing with various problems, it also provided him with actual experience and knowledge of what these people go through and can empathize with them in a Biblical.
