Lets Keep Talking

To be human is to stereotype. There is no getting around it. As the discussion moves forward we should expect sharpening and increased unity. That indeed is happening. With this attitude in hand the present challenge is to accurately identify the differences. Everyone agrees that some secular literature is more useful than others. Some literature has more glaring unbiblical assumptions some has less. For example I think there are times when the real issue is not the psychological literature it is compassion. The perceived fault line is between sterile orthodoxy biblical counseling and basic human kindness integration . If so that is an important discussion but it isn t necessarily about the use of secular literature. This too could be a worthwhile discussion. There are two other possible entrances into this discussion that I think might be useful. One is our doctrine of the person. Biblical counseling is sometimes thought to have one note on its guitar ! sin. The reality is that Scripture provides a profound and rich anthropology. The challenge is how to access the biblical text for that data. These are standard in much of the integrationist literature they are directly lifted from a recent journal article .

Not much on my mind right now. I've more or less been doing nothing worth mentioning. Today was a total loss, but so it goes. I don't care. Maybe tomorrow. Such is life.
