Key Takeaways
- Beware of how we allow our sheep to be counseled. Who knew that what happens in our churches affects believers and churches across the world? If we allow our sheep to go outside the church to seek help, then we allow a standard to be created that may be passed on to our brothers and sisters overseas. We must be cautious what kind of culture we are creating.
- Hold fast to your calling. We have access to so much training, talented individuals, and more, and yet many of us do not take the time to be adequately equipped. Take this lesson from our fellow believers who are eager to learn and fulfill their calling to serve as biblical counselors. There are always distractions and other responsibilities to delay getting trained in biblical counseling. It’s up to you to make the time to be equipped to do the work the Lord has laid before you.
- Go and make disciples. Jesus gave us this calling in The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) in order that more and more people would know of His love for us. But there is a lesson we can take from this in our biblical counseling ministries – we must impart our knowledge to others. You cannot do this alone, dear pastor. You need to be training up others to help you carry the ministry of biblical SoulCare™.
