Christians grieve, but, oddly, we enter our grieving with joy. Grief has its own peculiar beauty and value.
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
Grief cannot exist without love. The value of the loss is measured by how much love existed. In this temporal realm, love is tied to grief, but in the next world, love will be freed from grief. Christian counseors understand the nature of grief and help people realize it is only a temporary emotion in an imperfect world. #coursesforchristiancounselors

If, in the future, there is a reunited Church: Could Orthodox and Catholic parishes coexist with different disciplines -- celibacy & married clergy? The Question: Catholic and Orthodox theologi...
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
An excellent article on celibacy in the church. The Orthodox and the Eastern Catholics already have a married priesthood. Hence there should be no issue if this can exist within the Catholic Church when it already does. It would just not exist within the Latin and Western Rites. If you would like to review our program in christian counseling, then please take sometime and see if it matches your educational and professional needs. #counselingforchristians

Was Moses' version of the global flood simply borrowed from ancient Akkadian mythology? Why should we trust the Biblical story about Noah and the Flood?

American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
Good choices lead to life. False notions of freedom that put one's choice over life are not true freedoms but failure to overcome ego and the authority of God. We cannot equate true freedom that acts within the norms of respect of other's rights with false freedom that can ultimately lead to subjectivism and anarchy. Christian Counselors must teach their spiritual children what true freedom is and how we must always respect life. #christianspiritualcounselingcourses

American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
This is a hot topic among Christians. While modernism is an ever present danger in reducing scripture to myth, true christians loyal to Christ use true and proven scriptural exegesis to understand the word of God and hope to interpret Genesis from a different light than fundementalists or literalists. The idea of theistic evolution is a viable one and could make sense. This is not a radical ideal but one speculated as viable, although not superior to literalism, by pope Pius XII in Humani Generis or the orgin of men. The article below talks about theistic evolution. If you are interested in learning more about christian counseling, then please review the program.

Abortion is murder! As infanticide continues in this country, we must ask ourselves how much longer will we kill our future? Late term abortions show the cruel reality of what we as a nation are killing--not a configuation of "cells" but human life--with hands, feet, eyes, nose and nerves--that feel pain! Christ centered counseling condemns these actions! #coursesforchristiancounseling

Do you have a healthy fear of God? Or are you always looking over your shoulder, awaiting a lightning bolt?

This type of "sick" faith can cause many false images of God in the mind of the believer.
