The Holy Spirit is important in causing the change and the Word of God is the source of helping the client to become Christ -like. According to Adams (1986), this change must be toward God and must be “from the heart outward” (p. 7). If not, then the change is just superficial and it will eventually lead the client further astray. The very backbone of his counseling is 2 Timothy 3:16, which states: ," But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work"(NIV, 2010).

The life of Christ in Mark’s Gospel evidently accounts the humble and just acts of Jesus Christ on earth. Jesus was seen as an activist, a teacher and a healer. He touched the lives of many people in sickness, taught us the ways of faith and challenged the position of other people of power at the time.

Crabb and Hawkins Theory Critique Rebecca Castille Liberty University March 31, 2013 Crabb and Hawkins Theory Critique Life consists of many ups and downs for all humans. The difference in people and how they weather the storms of life are directly related to their thought patterns, maturity and behaviors they choose to have. Dr. Crabb identifies four approaches in which counselors can hinge theory when working with clients in order to bring change.

3 INTRODUCTION The purpose of Biblical Framework counseling is to help man achieve mental soundness by theologically addressing man's basic problem, which is sin. To address the problem theologically is to address it topically from Genesis to Revelation.
