Good Books: A Classic Re-Visited
I am now re-reading that great book that came out in 1970 called "Competent to Counsel" by Jay E. Adams. His emphasis on personal responsibility, the need for real repentance, and the transforming power of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit is like a breath of fresh air in this day and age.
The title of course comes from the fact that Jay Adams believes that if a person is a Christian and has the Bible, the Word of God, he has at his disposal all that is needed to counsel people and to be a good counselor, And of course he believes that Christian counseling should consist of applying the Word of God to our lives and obeying it. Also, that sin is the main cause of the problems that we have and that the place to start is always with repentance and re-newed faith in Jesus Christ and in God.
As this is an old book I suspect many of you may have a copy in your bookshelf collecting dust. I would challenge you to dust it off and read it once again. Orif you have not read or heard of this book before, think about buying or borrowing a copy and give it a read-it will bless you,
Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." NIV
Romans 1:16 " For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." KJV
AMEN !
