Solving Problems
Our culture has bought the lie that personal problems and relationship problems are no different than physical problems in their nature. We tend to think that both kinds of problems can best be addressed by an expert whose understanding exists outside of Biblical wisdom (such as in science). So we value the wisdom of a licensed professional therapist more than we value the wisdom of our pastor or spiritual leaders. We have entirely lost sight of the fact that every non physical problem is, at its core, a moral problem. And moral problems are only addressed in an individual’s relationship with God.
