Interesting Conversation, part 4

Posted by: Ben Reed In: Biblical Counseling

This is the last post that I’ll give based directly off of the emails that I have talked about in the last 3 posts.  You can read about this conversation here, here, and here.  It’s been helpful for me to think through these psychology issues and offer what I believe to be a God-honoring response [...]

Interesting Conversation, part 2

Posted by: Ben Reed In: Biblical Counseling

This is the second part of a conversation that I had with a licensed psychologist.  I’ll keep his name anonymous, but suffice it to say that we share basic biblical/theological foundations, but approach counseling with a different methodology.  We are able to maintain a solid friendship, though we disagree on some points, as you’ll see [...]

Interesting Conversation

Posted by: Ben Reed In: Biblical Counseling

One of the most awesome days in the life of Grace Community Church happened a few weeks ago. We had a baptism service where we baptized over 40 people in one day. I had always been a part of baptism services in church buildings…this one was outside, at the creek at Ringgold Mill. [...]

Tree-hugging

Posted by: Ben Reed In: Uncategorized

Genesis 3, which details the Fall of mankind into sin, had, and continues to have, serious consequences on man.  In fact, it’s had an effect on every human that has lived (even Jesus, who was “tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin” (Hebrews 4:15)).  We are all born under its curse.  [...]
