Systematic Theology, Complete Edition, by Louis Berkhof is a book composed of two volumes which were originally published as separate books and often used as textbooks in seminary education around the world. The Introductory Volume to Systematic Theology provides a foundation in the history and teaching of dogmatics, which “deals with the doctrinal truth of Scripture in a systematic way, and more particularly with that truth as it is confessed by the Church” (p. 35). In this volume, Berkhof explains the principles essential for&n ..read more

Confronting Sin
Association of Certified Biblical Counselors
by Joshua Greiner
3y ago
When persons are being introduced to biblical counseling, one of the aspects that they will either have to accept or reject is what to do with confrontation. Confrontation is one of the unique hallmarks of biblical counseling as compared to other forms of Christian care (such as Christian Psychology or Integrationism), because biblical counseling does not ground the goal of change in what the person wants or some other standard, rather it grounds the change in the Scriptures and the person of Christ. That means then that one of the jobs of the counselor is to come alongside and point out—with ..read more

When Counselees Attack
Association of Certified Biblical Counselors
by Joshua Zeichik
3y ago
I was sitting at work when I got the call. A hurting wife, who had left the state to get away from her potentially suicidal husband, was calling desperate. She began to recount to me the last 15 years of marriage that they shared. She told me of his pursuit of her in the early days and his willingness to explore Christianity since it was so important to her. She spoke to his conversion experience and subsequent lack of fruit, his first affair while they were engaged and his second in the last couple of years. As a result, he had been diagnosed with PTSD, severe depression, and was told that th ..read more

Association of Certified Biblical Counselors
by Shirley Elliott Johns
3y ago
We live in a world in which men and women who profess to be genuine believers are entrapped in the snares and bondage of sexual immorality. Sadly, the spiritual growth of these believers has come to a halt. Their sexual sin has left them spiritually paralyzed. In his book, Passions of the Heart: Biblical Counsel for Stubborn Sexual Sins, John Street outlines a concise, point-by-point biblical plan of action for attacking stubborn sexual sin. ‘Stubborn’ is a good word to describe this kind of sin, because sexual sins are some of the most difficult and challenging to conquer.

Psalm 19 is all about divine revelation, which is to say that it is all about how God has communicated Himself to us. In terms of divine revelation there are two types: general/natural revelation and special revelation. General revelation is a “term used to declare that God reveals something about the divine nature through the created order.”1 Special revelation is “God’s manifestation of himself to particular persons at definite times and places, enabling those persons to enter into a redemptive relationship with him.”2 The beauty of Psalm 19 is that it speaks to the benefit of general revela ..read more
