Biblical Discipleship Counseling
And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted,
help the weak, be patient with all men.
(1 Thessalonians 5:14)
And we proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ.
(Colossians 1:28)
And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses,
these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
(2 Timothy 2:2)
