Colossians 2:8
See
to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive
philosophy, which depends
upon human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather
than on Christ.

Brief
Introduction to Biblical Counseling
Biblical Counseling
is Christ-centered and Christ-dependent. It is based on 2 Timothy
3:16 which states: “All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”
Biblical Counseling methods rely on the principles and truths
revealed in the Holy Bible and counselees are directed to God’s Word
as the source of information and guidance to resolve life’s
perplexing problems. Any person can benefit from an honest and
faithful decision to accept and follow the guidance of God’s Word.

Statement of Faith (Our Core Beliefs)
1.
The Divine inspiration of the Canonical Books of the Old and New
Testaments as originally given, and preserved throughout the
ages as the only infallible, inerrant and sufficient source of
theology and doctrine;
2. The Triune
Godhead existing in One Eternal, Transcendent, Omnipotent,
personal God, manifested in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit;
3. Special
creation of the existing space-time universe, including all of
its basic systems and organisms in the six literal days of the
creation week;
4. The perfect,
sinless humanity and absolute full deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ, indissolubly united in one divine/human Person since His
unique incarnation by miraculous virgin conception and birth;
5. The
substitutionary and redemptive sacrifice of the Lord Jesus
Christ for the sin of the world, through His literal physical
death, burial, and bodily resurrection followed by His bodily
ascension into Heaven;
6. Personal
salvation from the eternal penalty of sin, provided exclusively
by the grace of God on the basis of the atoning death and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be received only
through confession of, and individual faith in, His Person and
redemptive work on the cross, to be followed by baptism and
conversion from a life of sin to a life characterized by the
empowering grace of the Holy Spirit, giving evidence in loving
service and adherence to the principles and practices of the
Christian Faith as set forth in the Holy Scriptures.
7. The future
personal, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth to
judge and establish His eternal kingdom and to consummate and
fulfill all His purposes, the works of creation, and redemption,
with eternal reward for believers and eternal punishment for the
unsaved.
