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 Development of a Godly Character c. Vision d. Passion e. How we cooperate with God to fulfill his leadership plans for our live Conclusion My Theology of leadership The Christian Leader: According to Henry Blackaby, to prospective Christian leaders: “If you are a man of little integrity or questionable character, do not expect God to reveal much of himself to you or to use you significantly for his kingdom.” I believe that Leadership in healthy growing churches requires deep spiritual commitment. The first priority of a Christian leader is a close personal relationship with God. Leaders must protect their own spiritual walk with God, which is the foundation of their leadership (Acts 4:1-3). A Christian Leader can help others by sharing something of their own spiritual walk by being actively involved in pastoral ministry and personal evangelism and by setting an example in giving. Personal qualities for leadership are deeply embodied in the New Testament, e.g,( 1Timothy 3).

Educating yourself in the knowledge and the Fear of GOD is a biblical mandate. The Christian Education goals, I think would better the students entering the pre-k school level more so than an adult entering school, by this time the adult student should already have their beliefs and Fear of GOD. Because there is only one God and One Christ, there is only one Truth. The truth is the center and Criterion of Christian Education. Christian Education is a part of God’s purpose to put everything in Creation under the feet of Christ; it serves as part of His purpose to subdue people from all nations to the glory of God.
He believes that people need to be taught the word “of God”, conviction can take place so the counselee can repent of his sins, be set free, and change will take place. With the theory that Adams developed God’s word is the only way to receive the truth of God, psychology is an outside source and has nothing to offer when trying to help a person to change based on truth. According to Adams changing people or sinners from the inside out is not done by education alone, but by prayer, reproof, and encouragement (p. 65). Scripture is the way to obtain quick results where true
How can one share that which has not been adequately learned? And why would one who has total assurance of all that is in God’s word, be afraid to hold it up to any challenge or other worldview? Faith in the God of truth can be defended as truth, unashamedly from any attack. “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer, to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
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.
Three Biblical Principles of Leadership Patricia Biever Leadership “Leadership is a developmental process of growing one's skills in leading others with an awareness and knowledge of our own honesty and integrity. Past and current leadership theory includes social responsibility, personal growth, and setting, as well as implementing and reaching personal and organizational goal” (http://www.preachology.com). Each of these biblical leaders shared a purpose and that was to serve God. And each one, David, Moses, and Abraham had similar qualities and also distinct characteristics that embodied their leadership styles. Transformational Leadership Black and Porter (2000) define transformational leadership as: “leadership that motivates followers to ignore self-interests and work for the larger good of the organization to achieve significant accomplishments; emphasis on articulating a vision that will convince subordinates to make major changes” (p. 432).

CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW Introduction Every individual has a worldview whether they realize it or not. A person’s worldview can be Christian, secular, or a combination of both. To fully understand Christian Worldview it is important to understand what worldview means in general and to also have an idea of what secular worldview means (Christianworldview.net).

Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24 KJV).
