You can probably look back on your life and think of quite a number of things that you did in the past that you now regret. Maybe it was using drugs, hanging out with the wrong people, or lying to someone. But God wants us to take it one step further and move from regret to repentance… which is turning from the sin to Christ. Otherwise, we’ll just do it again and again and it can be a vicious cycle. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll make a return visit to Second Corinthians seven, as pastor Ed Taylor shows us how God wants to change us from the inside out.
There’s a tragic and growing crisis facing the church concerning the ministry of counseling. An increasing number of churches and church leaders are forsaking God’s way of counseling and turning to man’s ways. “How to Counsel God’s Way” by Bob Hoekstra calls God’s people to return to Jesus as our Wonderful Counselor! Whether you’re in a position to give counsel, or wanting to receive it, this book can be very helpful and a valuable addition to your library.
