A Theological Primer for Biblical Counseling: Sufficiency of Scripture

by Josh Liu

Every person (and counseling system) operates on a presupposed worldview. That set of beliefs form a system through which a person interprets his observations, thoughts, experiences, actions, feelings, past, values, problems, etc. Therefore, it is critical to establish or define the biblical counselor’s worldview—this series introduces the underlying theology that makes biblical counseling biblical.

Focusing on the fields of counseling and mental health, many cast doubts on the sufficiency of Scripture to provide understanding and true help. In particular, integrationists and/or Christian psychologists often either imply or directly state that secular theories and/or practices of psychology are necessary for counseling. In other words, it is argued that psychology offers what Scripture lacks in counseling, therapy, and help. Is Scripture insufficient to provide answers and help? We first briefly explain the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture, then apply it to the area of counseling and psychology.

Since the Word of God is divinely inspired and without error, it truly reveals God and guides man. Dr. James Mook describes the doctrine of the sufficiency of God’s Word as the following:

The Scriptures give man adequate information about the nature and will of God, and the nature of spiritual and physical realities. This assertion does not mean that God has revealed everything about Himself and everything He has created. But it does mean that God has revealed all that He deemed necessary to know about Him, His salvation, and His will for man and the rest of creation [Deut 29:29; John 20:30-31; 2 Pet 1:3-4]. [1]

Stated another way, the Westminster Confession states,

The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for his glory, man’s salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from scripture; unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men (1:6).

To put it succinctly, God has provided in His Word all that man needs to know, either by precept or principle. [2] While Scripture ultimately speaks about Christ and redemption (see Luke 24:27, 44), it includes all aspects of creation—history, science, health, relationships, emotions, etc. Scripture is direct revelation from God and is the authoritative source of truth (inspiration); it is completely without error (inerrant). It also provides all that man requires to know God and live for Him (sufficient). Thus, the Christian counselor is equipped by Scripture to understand man and respond to his problems; Scripture accurately and comprehensively teaches the biblical counselor about man, his problems, and the solutions. The biblical counselor (and Scripture) is not lacking such that other sources must be used (i.e., secular psychologies). John MacArthur expounds on Psalm 19:7-14, showing how “God’s Word is sufficient to meet every need of the human soul…” [3] Scripture is perfect, restoring the soul; trustworthy, imparting wisdom; right, causing joy; pure, enlightening the eyes; clean, enduring forever; true, altogether righteous.

By contrast, integrationists, broadly, adopt psychologies’ theories or paradigms and implement secular psychotherapy on the basis of the insufficiency of Scripture and the “scientific” claims in psychology. This results in potentially confusing and dangerous conclusions regarding the source of truth. For example, Gary Collins says, “All truth as God’s truth has equal warrant, whether truth from nature or Scripture. Therefore, the truths of psychology (general revelation) are neither contradictory nor contrary to revealed truth (special revelation) but are integrative in a harmonious whole.” [4]

Psychology may provide accurate observations about God’s creation. However, psychology is founded on an atheistic worldview. Its interpretations of its observations will be skewed. So, the Christian counselor is left with the following question: Is any scientific claim or observation from nature equal to the general revelation of God and, thus, appropriate to incorporate into counseling models? Biblical counselors would answer, “no.” General revelation is “the general (unrestricted), non-verbal disclosing of God’s existence and perfections (including His truth) to all people by means of nature, conscience, and history.” [5] For example, Psalm 19 begins with, “The heavens are telling of the glory of God…” and Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” In other words, general revelation always relates to God. Psychology is fundamentally atheistic—attempting to remove God. Moreover, psychology is not unbiased, pure, or amoral; it is observations interpreted by depraved persons (see 1 Cor 2:6-16; Acts 14:8-18). Psychology and Scripture, then, are paradigmatically opposed to one another. There are important differences between general revelation and scientific claims. Scientific claims can be accurate and significant since Scripture does not provide comprehensive information about all things. For example, Scripture records the presence of diseases (see Mat. 4:23), yet it is not a medical textbook on diseases; (medical) science can provide accurate information concerning true diseases. However, scientific claims are insufficient to position psychology as co-authoritative with Scripture in counseling. Scripture identifies man’s true problem (his spiritual condition) and provides true help. Scripture is totally sufficient to understand man and creation, God’s purposes, and man’s responsibilities.

Them Also Which Sleep In Jesus Will God Bring With Him

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

1 Thessalonians 4:14

Let us not imagine that the soul sleeps in insensibility. ‘Today shalt thou be with me in paradise,’ is the whisper of Christ to every dying saint. They ‘sleep in Jesus,’ but their souls are before the throne of God, praising Him day and night in His temple, singing hallelujahs to Him who washed them from their sins in His blood. The body sleeps in its lonely bed of earth, beneath the coverlet of grass. But what is this sleep? The idea connected with sleep is ‘rest,’ and that is the thought which the Spirit of God would convey to us. Sleep makes each night a Sabbath for the day. Sleep shuts fast the door of the soul, and bids all intruders tarry for a while, that the life within may enter its summer garden of ease. The toil-worn believer quietly sleeps, as does the weary child when it slumbers on its mother’s breast.

Oh! happy they who die in the Lord; they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them. Their quiet repose shall never be broken until God shall rouse them to give them their full reward. Guarded by angel watchers, curtained by eternal mysteries, they sleep on, the heritors of glory, till the fulness of time shall bring the fulness of redemption. What an awaking shall be theirs! They were laid in their last resting place, weary and worn, but such they shall not rise. They went to their rest with the furrowed brow, and the wasted features, but they wake up in beauty and glory. The shrivelled seed, so destitute of form and comeliness, rises from the dust a beauteous flower. The winter of the grave gives way to the spring of redemption and the summer of glory. Blessed is death, since it, through the divine power, disrobes us of this work-day garment, to clothe us with the wedding garment of incorruption. Blessed are those who ‘sleep in Jesus.’

We’ll keep it short and sweet today. That being said, there appears to be some nifty stuff.

  • Jonathan Edwards: America’s Genius by Christian Timothy George (free audiobook) – The free book of the month from christianaudio.com is a biography of Jonathan Edwards. This book is part of the “Trailblazers” series, which I believe are biographies from church history aimed at younger readers. That being said, it’s still 2-3 hours of material, so unless you’re already an expert on Edwards, you could probably benefit from this.
  • Four Views on the Warning Passages in Hebrews by Herbert W. Bateman IV (free Logos book) – If you’re the kind of person who collects Logos materials, then this is probably right up your alley. Otherwise…probably not so much.
  • “Hope and Disappointment” (May 2018 Tabletalk) – I’m starting to repeat myself here, but Tabletalk really is an incredible resource. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now is the time. There’s not a bad place to start.
  • 9Marks Journal – Also, it appears as if the 9Marks Journal has undergone a bit of re-branding and reorganization. If you’ve enjoyed their material in the past and haven’t taken a look lately, you might want to see what they’ve got.

That’s it! See you Sunday!

A God-Honoring Hate

by Pastor Patrick Cho

When I was a young kid, I remember my teachers telling me that “hate” was a bad word. Whenever the word would slip off of my tongue, I would hear a chorus of “Oohs!” from my friends and see a bunch of pointed fingers indicating that I would soon be in trouble, even after saying something innocuous like, “I hate eggplant.” Teachers would tell me that a better term was “dislike” – I dislike eggplant.

Certainly there is a sinful type of hatred. Titus 3:3 states that before we were shown the kindness of God and His salvation, we were appropriately described as “hateful, hating one another.” This kind of hate is antithetical to the Great Commandment we are given by Christ to love one another (John 13:34). Sinful hatred is ultimately oriented around self. You hate something or someone because of how it offends or disgusts you. This is the kind of hatred we are called to put off as believers.

But there is also a kind of hatred that is encouraged in Scripture, a God-honoring hate. Perhaps this notion rubs us the wrong way as believers because Christians are supposed to be known by their love (cf. John 13:35). Obviously a God-honoring hatred is not oriented around self but is oriented around God. It hates what is sinful and offends God because it is sinful and offends God.

Have you ever considered that God is a hateful God? Deuteronomy 12:31 warns the Israelites against behaving like the surrounding idolatrous nations because the Lord hates what they do for their gods (cf. Deut. 16:22). Psalm 5:5-6 communicates this truth in stronger terms as the psalmist declares, “You hate all who do iniquity” (cf. Ps. 11:5). God indeed hates sin, but the Scriptures also testify that the sinner who persists in his sin with unrepentance is the object of God’s hatred as well. God abhors sin.

This is why the Scriptures support the idea of hating what God hates. Consider Psalm 26:5, which states, “I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked,” or Psalm 31:6, “I hate those who regard vain idols, but I trust in the LORD.” After thinking on the greatness of God’s understanding and knowledge, David concludes, “Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD?” He says he hates them with the utmost hatred (Ps. 139:21-22). The Scriptures even command “Hate evil, you who love the LORD” (Ps. 97:10).

Christians need to exercise caution because God-honoring hatred (hating what God hates because He hates it) can easily morph into sinful hatred. We are naturally inclined to orient our thinking around ourselves. It is easy to speak of our hatred of sin in a way that glorifies ourselves by highlighting our own piety. We need the Spirit’s guidance and conviction to lead our hearts to hate sin in a God-honoring way.

Of course, the Word of God also emphasizes the principle of love. We are called to love our brothers and sisters in the church (1 John 4:7). We are called to love our neighbors (Matt. 22:39). We are even called to love our enemies (Matt. 5:43). As believers in Christ, we are to be known for our love (John 13:35). How does this coincide with all these passages about hate? The difference seems to lie in one’s emphasis or focus. In as much as a person persists in unrepentant rebellion against God and is offensive to His holiness, God views that person and his sin as abhorrent. My hope and prayer, however, must be that they would turn from their sin and repent of their rebellion so that not only would they be forgiven of their sin but also no longer remain as objects of His hatred. Loving one’s enemies obviously does not mean condoning their sin. That is sin that God hates.

Why all this talk of hate? Because we realize that our struggle with sin comes down to the affections of our hearts. We love it, but we need to love the Lord. In the fight against sin, we need to cultivate a profound and overflowing love for the Lord such that there are no competing loves. But commensurate with cultivating a love for the Lord, we can also develop a healthy, biblical hatred towards our sin. Make God the object of your love, and make sin the object of your hatred. Hate the thing that seeks to destroy you, your family, and your testimony. Hate the thing that is stealing your heart away from the One you love most.

God’s Wisdom for Parenting (Part 6)

by Pastor Patrick Cho

One of the places in Scripture to find a wealth of helpful principles for parenting is the Proverbs. Almost every book on parenting will reference these Scriptures repeatedly because of the wisdom they contain. Besides the plethora of verses that apply to parenting indirectly, several passages address parenting specifically.

Poverty and shame will come to him who neglects discipline, but he who regards reproof will be honored. (Proverbs 13:18)

Once again, the author of Proverbs returns to the theme of discipline. While this passage is not addressing parents or children specifically, its principle is surely applicable. Other proverbs focus on the folly of disregarding discipline. This verse emphasizes the consequences of turning away from it. It is important to note that the idea behind the word discipline is instruction. In this context, it is more than just corrective or punitive. As it relates to parenting, we must remember that the goal of Christian parenting is to implement discipline that is formative. We are not simply after behavioral change. We want to help our children to think with godly wisdom so that it affects their behavior.

To neglect discipline is essentially to have an unteachable heart. The word for neglect is translated from a verb that means “to let go or loose.” This is the same word used in Proverbs 1:25 where the author confronts his son for neglecting all his counsel. When godly wisdom is passed down from one generation to the next, children are warned not to let it slip through their fingers.

Instead, the one who is wise “regards reproof.” They not only hear it, but heed it and keep it. This is not just giving assent to it but also practicing what is taught because you recognize it as sound counsel. It is one thing for my child to do what I say. It is another for them to understand why it is for their good regardless of what their own heart’s desire. No one likes to be reproved or corrected, but a person recognizes it is lifegiving when they understand that it is what they need most in the moment.

It requires humility and teachability to welcome reproof and to heed it. The verse says that the one who regards it will be honored. “Honored” comes from a word that has the idea of heaviness, weightiness, or muchness. The noun form of this word is translated “glory.” There is significant substance to a person who is teachable and he is worth emulating. Parents need to help children understand the wisdom in this. The world promotes this idea that standing for yourself is what gives you substance. The Bible teaches that it actually comes from listening to wise counsel.

But Aaron’s Rod Swallowed Up Their Rods

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Exodus 7:12

This incident is an instructive emblem of the sure victory of the divine handiwork over all opposition. Whenever a divine principle is cast into the heart, though the devil may fashion a counterfeit, and produce swarms of opponents, as sure as ever God is in the work, it will swallow up all its foes. If God’s grace takes possession of a man, the world’s magicians may throw down all their rods; and every rod may be as cunning and poisonous as a serpent, but Aaron’s rod will swallow up their rods.

The sweet attractions of the cross will woo and win the man’s heart, and he who lived only for this deceitful earth will now have an eye for the upper spheres, and a wing to mount into celestial heights. When grace has won the day the worldling seeks the world to come. The same fact is to be observed in the life of the believer. What multitudes of foes has our faith had to meet! Our old sins-the devil threw them down before us, and they turned to serpents. What hosts of them! Ah, but the cross of Jesus destroys them all. Faith in Christ makes short work of all our sins. Then the devil has launched forth another host of serpents in the form of worldly trials, temptations, unbelief; but faith in Jesus is more than a match for them, and overcomes them all. The same absorbing principle shines in the faithful service of God! With an enthusiastic love for Jesus difficulties are surmounted, sacrifices become pleasures, sufferings are honours.

But if religion is thus a consuming passion in the heart, then it follows that there are many persons who profess religion but have it not; for what they have will not bear this test. Examine yourself, my reader, on this point. Aaron’s rod proved its heaven-given power. Is your religion doing so? If Christ be anything He must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!

Looking Unto Jesus

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Hebrews 12:2

It is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, ‘Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of His children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.’ All these are thoughts about self, and we shall never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self: He tells us that we are nothing, but that ‘Christ is all in all.’ Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ that saves thee-it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee-it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be the instrument-it is Christ’s blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to thy hand with which thou art grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to thy hope, but to Jesus, the source of thy hope; look not to thy faith, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of thy faith.

We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul. If we would at once overcome Satan and have peace with God, it must be by ‘looking unto Jesus.’ Keep thine eye simply on Him; let His death, His sufferings, His merits, His glories, His intercession, be fresh upon thy mind; when thou wakest in the morning look to Him; when thou liest down at night look to Him. Oh! let not thy hopes or fears come between thee and Jesus; follow hard after Him, and He will never fail thee.

‘My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesu’s blood and righteousness:
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesu’s name.’

“When the New Testament uses the metaphor of the body to describe the church, it speaks of a unity in diversity. The human body is composed of various parts that individually and together are functionally necessary to the health of the whole. The eye is as vital as the ear, though performing different functions. In the church there are different tasks and different gifts, all of which are vital to the church’s well-being and are necessary for fulfilling its mission.” (R.C.
