W quote Here I cannot but observe the amazing ignorance and stupidity of some persons, who take it into their heads to decry learning and learned men. John Gill BoDD pg. 33

Civic righteousness isn't the biblical counselor's ultimate goal; God's glory is (WSC Q1). If the best you can do in a moment is to convince the alcoholic to stop drinking momentarily, start there (humble beginnings). Serve the counselee you have, not the one you wish you had.

Overheard: Biblical counseling's *ultimate goal* is sanctification. I demur. BC's ultimate goal is *to glorify God and enjoy him forever* (WSC Q1). A given case may never see the former, but it can always pursue the latter. Sanctification is God's work, not mine (WLC Q75).

“More heresy is preached in application than in Bible exegesis” Haddon Robinson

Hebrews 5:8-10 ESV [8] Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. [9] And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, [10] being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

I am going to let the big DBTS BC debate decide for itself in 2026. I don't need people to tell me what to believe 🦋😇🫠.

I WILL ONLY READ IT IF YOU COLLAB WITH NICK AND MATT!!!! #BCJunkie #NeedMoreTea #MoreBiasTheBetter

Hebrews 3:3 ESV [3] For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.

The soul will find no rest by staring into itself, but only by fixing its eyes on Christ

@MarkMacdonald75 @WMcNeil1967 Yes.

@WMcNeil1967 Ummm - skulls is good..?

“I have achieved an undertaking which bears on the welfare of each and every one of the human race precisely and exactly as it bears on any. Therefore I plead that it shall be made to have a wholly different bearing on some from that which it shall have on others!”

Conferences on the sufficiency of Scripture are ironic IMO. Depends on how it's done.

When Did Biblical Counseling Begin? rpmministries.org/2022/09/when-b… “History and tradition are democracy extended through time.” History gives “votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.” It refuses to submit to the small and arrogant elite “who merely happen to be walking around” (Chesterton, Orthodoxy, p. 3).

@jasonkovacs Counselors are lower case "a" ambassadors who point to the true and great ambassador, Christ and to his ordained means of growth, love, security, grace, forgiveness, and strength. Thanks Jason!! :)

In Biblical Counseling, our primary goal is not that people will gain more biblical knowledge or insight, learn Biblical principles, or even grow in obedience. It is that they would see, encounter, and worship the Person of Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.

@WaulkThisWay @jacobelwart @SolaDogmatika @Heidelblog01 Original means of grace changes everything.

@jacobelwart This post from @SolaDogmatika @Heidelblog01 explains in greater detail why sanctification, like all of salvation, is monergistic, and not synergistic. This matters greatly to biblical counseling, and to all of pastoral ministry. heidelblog.net/2025/09/monerg…

Biblical Counselors: If you take upon yourself the responsibility of your client’s sanctification, which belongs to God alone, you will eventually adopt a legalistic ethos in an attempt to maintain control. This will end in anxiety and despair for both you and your client.

@Klosski_Kevin @MarkMacdonald75 @amillaaaa @amillaaaa brought the logs, I brought the fire.

@MarkMacdonald75 @amillaaaa @MitchellSheten1 🤣 Yes, it was a good brotherly discussion you all had for sure. We need more like that.

Reformed brethren can hold the following without contradicting reason, the Scriptures, or confessional standards: God loves the world. He desires each human to be saved, antecedently. Jesus died for all in such a way that if any person were to believe, they could be saved. 1/2

I was told he was those titles from people on here so I wanted to give a warning. ❤️🦋

John Gill's comments on Heb. 2:9. He is a pretty cool dude (same church as Benjamin Keach). He is an antinomian theobro theonomist, so take his words with a grain of salt. biblestudytools.com/commentaries/g…

@amillaaaa @WoodsReflection @MarkMacdonald75 What sense of salvation was Paul talking about in Acts 27:31? "Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”

@WoodsReflection @MarkMacdonald75 @MitchellSheten1 Is there only one sense of God's love in the Bible or do we make distinctions as all orthodox theologians do?
