Dr. Crabb shares that the biblical goal of counseling goals should be to help people move over to the path of righteousness (Crabb, 28); and help them move up in their maturity to be like Christ (Crabb, 29). “Moving over” deals with any immediate problems; and “moving up” is about developing character (attitudes, beliefs, purposes) that conforms to Christ (Crabb, 31). People have one basic personal need (that is “personal worth”) that requires two kinds of input for its satisfaction: significance (purpose, importance, adequacy, etc.) and security (love) (Crabb, 63). The counselor’s goal should be to help the person find their significance by helping them understand who they are in Christ (Crabb, 71).
The beatitudes teach us basic life skills about how we should act towards one another, encouraging us to treat others with respect, compassion, generosity and justice. If we succeed and live the way Jesus showed us to, which is by showing the values of the beatitudes, we will be rewarded in heaven and will live for eternity with God. The statement, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” basically means standing up for what you believe in, what you know is right and facing the consequences with the choices you decide to take forward. It is about fighting for what is good and what is going to make this world better. If we are able to do this, God will take note of our faithfulness by rewarding us with eternal life with him in heaven.

Every individual has a set of values and norms they abide by in everyday activities. Personally, I can assure myself on a few moral choices that guide my lifestyle; however, I must acknowledge that perhaps my upbringing and personal experiences helped shape those. Reading the two passages, I had a moment to reflect on my own knowledge or soon to find out, lack thereof. My beliefs regarding violence and consequences resulting as of that were not necessarily challenged because as a Catholic I respect the quality and dignity of all human life. Both passages Twilight #1 and Limbo/Twilight #2 pertain to preserving human life and perpetually fighting for underrepresented individuals even when circumstances seem dire.

Christians and Muslims believe all humans are born sinless, but human weakness leads to sin.
These principles are following God’s will and respecting the communities' decisions. Mental and physical disorders are from God, and so understanding the basic cause of an illness is not necessary (Walsh, 2010). The majority of the Amish are more interested in clearly treating symptoms of the disease rather than knowing the cause of the disease. The Amish see good health as “the ability to work hard, a sense of freedom to enjoy life, family responsibility, physical well-being, and spiritual well-being (Armer, et, 2006). Folk healers, holistic practitioners, and natural remedies are preferred methods of treatment for the Amish.
