BC&D-11 ONLY TWO CHOICES: GOD'S WAY OR MY WAY

Описание: How would you like to sit in a typical BIBLICAL COUNSELING & DISCIPLESHIP training classroom? That's what this video is all about: opening that classroom for you to be challenged and grow SPIRITUALLY. Each day we frame life either by Man’s Way or God’s Way. That framework, worldview, or operating system is what determines our choices.

When Personal Troubles & Disasters hit, what do you seek FIRST?
Followers of Man’s Way vs. Followers of God’s Way:
1. Human Wisdom is often where we look first vs. We learn to cry out for help to God by praying immediately.
2. Social Media is often vital for support vs. Problems make us search the Word for answers.
3. We often Search for online sources of help. vs. Problems make us seek to more fully surrender to God
4. We usually Seek Advice from Friends saved and lost. vs. We sift all advice & ideas by the grid of God’s Word.
5. We consider Psychiatry and psychology for insights on how to frame problems and bad behavior vs. We are devoted to God and His Word as the First & Last Voice we will listen to in each situation.
6. Many of us see Medical doctors as one of our most trusted sources of help. vs. We learn how lonely it can be to walk primarily by faith and not primarily by sight.
7. We often feel that Professional Counselors are the only ones that are trained to tackle the big issues. vs. We remind ourselves that we must understand that God’s Plan is often for us to suffer, and not escape troubles.
CONCLUSION: Usually, God’s Word is only sought as equal with these other sources of help, comfort, and advice; God's Word is not usually first, and often just consulted briefly along the way of struggling with all the voices we are listening to. As we daily surrender to the sanctifying work of the Spirit as we are in the Word, we welcome God's Word & Spirit, His way, plans & people to dominate our thinking about our self, our problems, and other’s struggles. We are often guilty of seeing all of these avenues as basically equal in weight, authority, and able to help us. We need to always believe and practice that God's Word revealing His Way is an authority above all others. We are usually guided by the world, which is defined as "Man’s View of Man". We need to know and be guided by God’s perspective of us and our problems. Most people feel that Human nature is basically good and just needs encouragement. But we KNOW from God's Word that we are Forgiven of our Incredible Mountain of Sin (1 John 1:7), and have a New Beginning (Jn. 3).
