Respectable Sins Ep.5 | The Role of Biblical Counseling in Sanctification

This powerful exploration of biblical counseling versus psychological approaches challenges us to examine where we place our ultimate trust when facing life's struggles. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3 and Psalm 19, we're reminded that Scripture is not just helpful—it's completely sufficient for addressing the deepest issues of our souls.

The message walks us through the profound reality that God's Word is living, active, and sharper than any double-edged sword, capable of dividing soul and spirit. We discover that unlike the ever-changing theories of human wisdom, Scripture offers unchanging truth that can teach us, reprove us, correct us, and train us in righteousness.

The illustration of cutting wood with and without a straight edge powerfully demonstrates how attempting to solve our problems without God's Word as our guide will always leave us with crooked results. This isn't about dismissing human compassion or observation—it's about recognizing that true transformation requires a perfect standard, and we have one in Scripture.

The call here is clear: when we're struggling with unforgiveness, lack of self-control, depression, or any besetting sin, we have access to a resource that addresses not just symptoms but the heart itself.
