Introduction:
There are three types of counseling in the American Experience today
There has been an uneasy relationship between Christians and psychology ever since psychology became a secular science....
I have heard many sermons denouncing psychology and psychologists....
There was a recent controversy that involved this very thing at a nearby Kentucky Seminary....
The battle was over the sufficiency of Scripture alone in the area of the Biblical ministry of counseling....

Nonetheless, there has been a rich tradition and a theology of Biblical counseling that has been present throughout the history of the Christian Church.
There has been, in the past what has been called soul care…and I believe that all of us are called to care for one another’s souls....to one degree or another.

I want to show you what I believe the Bible teaches about this....
I.
We Have the Call of God
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Discipling and giving wise counsel are the privilege and responsibility of every believer.
Hardly a day goes by that we don’t give counsel in one form or another....
A. Counsel begins in our hearts...with our thoughts and our self talk.
Psalm
In other words are we living by carnal thinking or is the Word of God informing our very innermost thoughts....because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
The wise man understood that both the giving and receiving or wise counsel involves first and foremost the heart.
this is why he stated....
Naturally what goes on “in here” (the heart) comes out “from here” (the mouth).
And that can be wise or unwise.
The Question is not whether you counsel one another or not....The question is whether your counsel is Biblical...
B. God Calls us to speak the truth in Love
God gives us clear direction through over 40 imperatives in the “one another” passages of Scripture.
The Basis of this one another care is the fact that we are to be one body!
If my finger has an infection…my whole body rushes to its aid....If I am involved in a traumatic expereince…my whole body mobilizes to survive and thrive....
Generally speaking our bodies (given the proper care and treatment) should be able to care for itself!
If a part of my body has a problem that my body cannot handle on its own for whatever reason....it seeks help from another body...
