We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Don't Trust Psychology


Seven reasons to not trust psychology.

It is not a genuine science.

It is relatively ineffective.

It is motivated more by money than compassion.

Labels produce dysfunction rather than healing.

Psychology is incompetent in dealing with the inner person.

It cannot produce healing from the past.

It is incompatible with Christianity; it is a competing faith.  Psychology is by definition the study of the soul. Without Christ, one cannot solve the problem.


This typed-up list surely was copied from a book in the past but I never noted from where it came. However, as I just found this in a file, I thought it was worth posting.
