A few more things on the heart of Biblical Counseling:

You can only help those want to be helped

People want to be heard

People want our time

Ask the question how does this rambling without saying rambling answer the question I just asked

Discern between heart felt emotions that need to be let out and ramblings

How do we discern between demon possession and mental illness?

When you see change point it out and compliment it

Communication

Read hand out

In war the best way to divide and conquer is to take out the communication

Conflict Resolution

Read hand out

Why do I want the other person to change?

Guilt

Guitl

Purpose of guilt is to bring us to the foot of the cross

Satans plan is to condemn so you don’t look up or to make you so prideful that you don’t think you need the cross

Grieving Compassion

Jobs friends were good friends until they opened there mouth

is true but does that show compassion when we bring it up?

How do we successfully minister to people that are going through grief?

People do not need reasons why but resources on how to deal with grief and the resource is Jesus!
