Hello everyone! You may have noticed that it has been many months since my last post. Many of you may have wondered whether I would continue this site. Well, I am back. You will notice that future posts will have an additional element to them. Not only will I be talking about important issues in Biblical Counseling, but I am going to incorporate that discussion into a devotional type format. A deep understanding of our God and His Word is essential to true and lasting life change.

Thank you for your patience! The next segment will be posted soon.

Pornography:The Destroyer

lifechange — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 03:15:42 +0000

Many people, both men and women, have had some kind of contact with, and possibily are addicted to pornography. Satan has used pornography to tempt, entice, and ensnare. It entices and ensnares with emotion, visual appeal, and false intimacy. God calls His people to flee this destroyer.

1 Corinthians 10: 12-14- “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.”

Welcome to the studio and the discussion.

Shepherding Series, Part 6: Adult Children

lifechange — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:14:27 +0000

When you think of children, what age comes to mind? Most likely young children, even teens. However, a group of people that are often forgotten are our adult children. They are adults, on their own. For those of you with adult children, you never stop being their parent. Your relationship with them changes, but you are always their parent. Welcome to the studio as we discuss parenting adult children.

Shepherding Series, Part 5: Teens

Shepherding Series, Part 3: Biblical Discipline

lifechange — Mon, 05 May 2008 03:08:08 +0000

Being a parent is a wonderful, God given, blessing!! It is a blessing that is full of responsibility. As parents, we have the responsibility of living wisely, not for ourselves in this discussion, but also for our children. We are to be models, pointing our children to Christ, and the Truth of the Scriptures. Wise living for a parent involves the consistent use of biblical methods of discipline, as we train our children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6). The Scriptures tell us these methods involve the use of the “rod of correction” (Proverbs 22). This rod is to be used appropriately, not abusively, within the relationship of love and care that we have for our children. Welcome to the studio and the discussion.

Proverbs 22:15- Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Proverbs 23:12-15- 12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. 13 Do not withhold correction from a child, For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. 14 You shall beat him with a rod, And deliver his soul from hell.

Proverbs 13:24- He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

Ephesians 6:1-4- Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Welcome to the studio for the continued discussion on Shepherding.

Shepherding Series, Overview Part 1

lifechange — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:19:41 +0000

For those who have children, who are preparing to have a child, or are looking forwarded to having children in the future, the subject of Shepherding (Parenting) is a monumental but critcial matter. Parents are truly shepherds, teaching their children (through the years and process of child rearing and discipline) how to be obedient sheep, and future shepherds. Our children learn aspects of this everyday. Welcome to the studio and the beginning of the discussion on Shepherding.

This show was posted back in October 2007. However, I am re-posting it now as it is rightfully the 4th show in this series. If you are interested in more information about Dr. Welch, please see the previous post below.

Addictions Series, Part 3

lifechange — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 13:47:53 +0000

Addiction is something that can grip us, if temptation and lust are not dealt with. A very common addiction that we see is drug or chemical addiction. Thousands upon thousands of people are addicted to drugs. Let’s not fool ourselves, Christians are not impervious to this type of addiction. Temptation is present in the life of the Christian. The options are to run (flee) or indulge. If we are acting in obedience to God, we will run. Welcome to the studio, as we continue the discussion on Addictions!

1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

Addictions Series, Part 1: Lust

lifechange — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:59:59 +0000

Lust is something that is a temptation for us all. Welcome to the studio, as we begin our discussion on Addictions, and the root issue of Lust.

James 4:1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
