GRACE AND PEACE BIBLICAL COUNSELING
God's Word In Focus
Grace and Peace Biblical Counseling (GAPBC) is a nonprofit Christian ministry that provides counseling services based solely on Biblical principles. Biblical counselors are trained in the Scriptures and knowledgeable in applying them to life situations. We believe the Bible has everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:2-3). We counsel without the hundreds of different psychological therapies on the market, therefore we are not licensed psychotherapists. We believe God’s Word has more to say about how to heal the broken hearts of mankind than the theories of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow, or popular theories of today such as repressed memories, mind-body therapies, self-actualization, etc. The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). It is a lamp to our feet (Psalms 119:105). It is truth that can set us free (John 8:32).
When individuals or families come to GAPBC for counseling they will learn how the Bible makes sense in their situation. For example, all through the New Testament we see the discussion of "law" and "grace." People often have no idea what that has to do with the argument they just had with their spouse or children. It may have everything to do with it! Christians need to understand how Christ’s sacrifice on the cross over 2000 years ago can help them with anger, fear, depression, anxiety, habitual sins, or wounded relationships.
Linda Pringle has been counseling since 2001, serving hundreds of families and individuals, often at the lowest point of their lives. She receives referrals from churches, ministries, and former counselees across the western part of Colorado. Please pray for the counselees who come into the office. Pray that they would hunger and thirst for the knowledge of God in their lives. Secondly, pray for Linda to teach the Bible clearly, meeting the need of each person. Lastly, would you consider financially supporting this ministry? Many people can’t pay the lowest suggested donation and yet they still need counseling. Your tax-deductible gift of any amount will help.

Your counselor will use insight in applying biblical principles to help you with whatever problem deprives you of the peace and joy that God has promised you in His Word. Your counselor will concentrate on three basic foundations from God’s Word:
Hope - because God showed us His great love by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Through faith in His love, even in times of trial, we can have hope, and hope does not disappoint. As we humble ourselves before God, realizing what He has done on our behalf, our fear (reverence) for Him will be the beginning of true wisdom (Romans 5:1-8; Proverbs 9:10).
Change - because in Jesus Christ we can learn how to be renewed in the spirit of our mind and put on new ways of thinking and living that are worthy of the Lord. We desire to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in good works, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Ephesians 4:20-24; Colossians 1:10).
Practice - because we need to prove ourselves to be doers of God’s Word, lest we be merely hearers, forgetting and deluding ourselves. Growing in God’s love will encourage us to love others in a deeper way, bring grace and peace to their life as well as to our own (James 1:22-25, 1 John 4:7-12).
