In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy. And then, before concluding this paper we will discuss how the answers to these questions provide structure to how we as Christians should live our lives. To a Christian who has accepted God as their personal Lord and Savior the Bible has authority. The same should not be said for someone who hasn’t made that confession. As a Christian we have accepted that the Bible contains the true Word of God written by apostles who received divine inspiration to guide the recorded works.
Dr. Anderson displays a strong foundation of counseling through truth and having a relationship with Christ. Other web based articles were used to support the theory of Anderson’s book. Although the web based articles other different avenues of Christian counseling all of the sources used share a common root, how to show others how to overcome their problems to become healthy well adjusted individuals by using biblical concepts. Christian Counseling to the Spiritually Oppressed Discipleship is receiving instruction from a religious leader and being a follower who has learned to believe in the truth of the doctrine of his teacher. Discipleship in today’s world can be in the form of a Christian counseling.

According to the "American Heritage Dictionary" Prayer can be defined as "A reverent petition made to God, a god, or another object of worship." With a general understanding of what prayer means there also should be an understanding that not everyone prays or believes in prayer because of the type of religion they practice or their belief system. However, for Christians prayer is an important form of communication with God; it is a way to connect spiritually to God and most importantly the Word of God commands Christians to pray.
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).
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Spiritual Disciplines For The Christian Life A Reading Report author: Donald S. Whitney A paper submitted to Dr. Jon Bishop In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the course pled 520 Liberty Baptist Theological seminary By LEISHA EDWARS PITTSBURGH, PA SUNDAY, June 9, 2013 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 2 SUMMARY 3 EVALUATION AND CRITIQUE 6 PERSONAL APPLICATION 7 CONCLUSION 9 BIBLIOGRAPHY 9 INTRODUCTION Donald S. Whitney conveys in his book “Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life”, ten spiritual disciplines that are designed to promote spiritual growth in Christian life. 1 Timothy 4:7 tells us to “discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness (NASB). Besides, this verse is the premise for why Whitney wrote his book. Furthermore, Whitney argues that Christians are instructed by God to imitate Christ for the commitment to godliness. He also explains to the reader that upon the second coming of Jesus Christ, God will award “Christlikeness” to His children.
The record of the Lord’s Prayer has been recorded by Matthew and Luke in their account of Jesus Christ. This model of prayer has been part of Christian liturgy and tradition from the very beginning of Christendom. This model of prayer by Jesus Christ has been seen of underline the very theological mission and life of Jesus. Our Father who art in heaven The opening of the prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven” reflects Jesus’ own style of addressing God and which therefore also indicates Jesus’ intention that his disciples should share in his own sense of intimate sonship to God as Father. Jesus in the account of the four Gospels is seen to teach that God is our Father and seeks that kind of relationship with us.
Adams believes that once the patient is corrected, they then need to be discipled and trained in righteousness. These are Adam’s four stages of counseling (Adams, 1986). Adams basis his entire approach to counseling on the scripture 2 Timothy 3:14-17 “14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Adams states that the only way man can truly change is to have his heart changed through God’s Holy Spirit. Adams believes that man can make adjustments to his exterior, but he is unable to make any changes to his interior (heart, mind, emotions) (Adams, 1986).
The people come to life on the pages of the book in a sense that you may have not fully experienced before. Childhood Bible Stories take on a new life of their own, with the “lessons learned at our Mother’s knee” driving our minds and hearts much deeper in thought and prayerful practice. We can see ourselves mirrored in the themes and in the people page after page. Sometimes this can be difficult - a rude awakening - to see ourselves in parallel to a “lesser” versus a “greater”. As we Christians hunger for a spiritual feast in the Old Testament, we find a faithful, true Biblical, rich, hearty and challenging overview of the Old Testament within this book - taking us on a journey to “Meet
The teachers spend religion classes informing and preaching to children about Jesus and his life on earth and the main events and miracles of his life. However, this also means that the teacher must believe in what they are teaching, otherwise the process is pointless. The last principal that I feel is distinctive to Catholic Education is that Catechesis is a vital mission of the Church. Catechesis is the maturity of faith and teachers are expected to educate and develop children in the two forms of Catechesis. The first
Focus The main focus for Dr. Cross is to educate the clients through Christian learning and faith. He uses projects that the client needs complete by each visit. Most projects involve using the bible. When the client completes the project and understands the meaning of the lesson it begins a learning process that the client can continue to use on his or her own after treatment. The focus is on the individual and teaching the client how to cope with his or her problem through the bible.
