Pre-Conference 2010

ABC Pre-conference Equipped to Counsel May 20, 2010 Price - $75 (Equipped to Counsel Leader's Manual Included - a $45 Value!) REGISTER NOW Description of the Pre-Conference When I think about the purpose of the Equipped to Counsel (ETC) curriculum, I remember Paul’s words to the Ephesians, “And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-12) It is my conviction that counseling ministry belongs under the banner, “a work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ.” And if so, then counseling belongs in the body of Christ and equipping followers of Jesus Christ to counsel one another in love and truth belongs under the job description of pastors and teachers in the Church. Equipped to Counsel was written to provide a curriculum to help pastors,...

As a pastor and Biblical counselor, I am sometimes confronted by those in the psychology field who would like to intergrate Scripture with man's wisdom, I keep pointing them to Psalm 1:1 and point out that we are MOST blessed when we do not follow this worlds counsel! Thanks for standing firm upon God's Holy Word, for IT is God's power unto salvation and mans well-being. --Your servant and Christ's slave, David. SDG! AWESOME information - thank you! I am a believer and Grandma of a 7 yr old grandson with autism. --Susan The truth is leaking out there thanks to organizations like National Association of Nouthetic Counselors and Association of Biblical Counselors and International Association of Biblical Counselors, but our voices are not nearly as loud as those who would like to convince people that psychology is the answer. --Julie Thank you and God bless you for these invaluable resources! --Elizabeth Join the Association of Biblical Counselors today.
