In a speech presented at the 1995 Moody Founders Week Celebration, Dr. Larry Crabb, noted Christian psychologist and author, made the following points:
The issues which professional counseling addresses - guilt, anger, self- hatred, hopelessness, the unwillingness to love - are issues which the Bible addresses and which God has designed the local church to handle.
The problems which people in our culture typically take to professional counselors and therapists are really expressions of a troubled soul, not symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder, except when they have an organic basis. They are spiritual problems. Therefore: (1) The only trustworthy source of understanding the soul is the Bible. Therefore, biblical wisdom becomes the foundation, the framework and the substance of all our helping efforts. (2) The community of God’s people - the local church - is the proper setting for the problems of the soul to be addressed. The local church is more vital to the work of healing and helping than the counseling center. (3) The people most powerful in influencing lives, no matter how troubled they may be, are those who have suffered and struggled well.
