Counseling Guidelines for the Local Church
If there was ever a time where we need clear and concise guidelines for counseling those in need, it is now. There are a variety of societal factors that have greatly increased the number of those in need and having some guidelines for godly counsel is a must. Yet many attempt to direct people with the best intention, but lead them toward a distorted solution which only further complicates their situation rather than helping them toward the road to victory.
There are simple, but important principles that every leader should understand and embrace when involved in giving others counsel of any sort. We have been given the incredible privilege and responsibility to direct people toward the ‘God solution’ for their situation, and using proven Biblical guidelines will greatly increase the effectiveness of your counsel.
I have been often asked, “What do you do with your leaders and your church to help them in counseling?” I put together a document for your review and use on my resource page. It is called, “Counseling Guidelines for the Local Church.” Take a look at it and pass it on to your leaders!
