The Church is exchanging its birthright of scriptural admonition and help and discipline for the pottage of psychology. We needn't imagine that Jacob's pottage was tasteless and not nourishing.... Unless psychology is SQUARELY based on scripture (or science, which is in turn based on scripture), the price includes accepting human wisdom where God's is available and different. The price includes waffling on the issue of sin. The price includes not allowing the body of Christ to grow and mature as it exercises its gifts in obedience to God's direction, relegating all the "hard" problems to "trained professionals."
