Didn't the instructor point out that the peole of Israel and the early Christians would memorize important spiritual texts such as the Bible and pass them down orally? How much better equipped they were then, for we have God's word in our hands, but they had itin their minds, their hearts, and on their lips! God can reveal himself at many times and in various ways, but he has chosen to make himself known through scripture and such "special revelation" deserves special attention. If the Bible is not available to someone, they may still draw near to God, but we who have it should not neglect it. Also, using Biblical principals in counsseling is great, but if the listener doesn't know the source of these truths then the message is more likely to get distorted, as in the game "telephone". Give your clients scriptur references so they know where to find the truth when they can no longer remember what you told them.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160427753322633488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-89984429300407637482011-02-27T22:13:21.720-08:002011-02-27T22:13:21.720-08:00Sometimes I hate how people describe a "quiet...Sometimes I hate how people describe a "quiet time" with God by making it at a certain time in the day and requiring certain elements. Many times as Christians we get caught up in the "daily activities" of the Christian life, we forget what Christianity is all about. It is a relationship with God; it is about His love for us and His desire to be with us forever. My quiet time with God may not be in the morning and may not even include Scripture reading, but if I coming to God honestly and truly seeking Him, He will meet with me. I just have to be willing to cultivate that relationship with him.jharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433870758491650655noreply@blogger.com
