The Big Picture

Competent to Counsel
The Sufficiency of Christianity And the Survey Says…
The Apostle Paul and theOrdinary, Average Christian in Rome
Romans 15:14 “I myself am convinced,
my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness,
complete in knowledge,and competent to instruct
one another.”
The “4Cs” of Biblical Counseling Equipping
Character: “Full of Goodness” Content: “Complete in Knowledge” Competence: “Competent to Instruct” Community: “Brothers”/“One Another”
Christ-Like Character
“Goodness”: Agathos—Gal. 5:22-23 Biblical Goodness: Grace Relationships The powerful SF reflects and relates like the Ultimate SF—Jesus
Christ-Like Character
“Full”: Overflowing The person who is good at relating to God will be good at relating to others. Competence without character is like one corpse practicing cosmetic surgery on another corpse.
