Welcome to the Biblical Counseling Home Page
Thank you for visiting the Wisdom4Today Biblical Counseling Home Page. The purpose of this page is to provide Biblical
counseling information, course work, and resources to help with the struggles of life from a purely Biblical perspective. We provide
this service because we care about you and take seriously Jesus' promise that He made in John 10:10(b) of the Bible:
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10b)
In Jesus' statement, He is stating a fact that it is through Him that you have not only eternal life, but that you also can have an
abundant life of victory, peace, and joy every day of our life. Having life and having it more abundantly through the Word of God,
the Bible, will give you hope for the daily struggles we all encounter. When you have the hope provided by Jesus Christ you have
nothing to lose and everything to gain! May God bless you as you visit this page and I hope that this ministry enables
you to be a blessing to others. Dr. Mike

Why Biblical Counseling?
We live in a world that is moving so fast that we often cannot keep up. It seems like no
matter what we do, we never have time for the things that really matter. We want stronger
marriages, deeper friendships, and lives that are more meaningful. Television, self-help
books, the Internet, friends, family and even some counselors all seem to have the
answers, but often those answers contradict each other. After a while, many conclude
that the life they yearn for cannot be obtained.
There are answers to life's struggles and it is just a matter of knowing where to find them.
We believe that these answers are found in the Bible, or the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-
17 tells us this:
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God
may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
By taking the wisdom of God as found in His Scriptures and showing people how to apply
it in practical ways to life's struggles we have witnessed positive changes in countless
lives. Marriages that were in shambles have been restored. Families in crisis have been
mended. Those caught in the trap of addictive or self defeating lifestyles have been set
free. We have seen lives drowning in despair, rescued and later abounding in hope and
happiness.
The following is a short overview of our Biblical counseling philosophy:
Our Goal: Our goal in providing Christian Biblical counseling resources is to help you
meet the challenges of life in a way that will please and honor the Lord Jesus Christ and
allow you to enjoy fully His love for you and His plans for your life.
Biblically Based: We believe that the Bible provides thorough guidance and instruction for
faith and life. Therefore, our counseling is based on Scriptural principles rather than
those of secular psychology or psychiatry. More specifically, this means that the
resources we provide are not those that would require a license in fields such as
medicine, nursing, or psychology. Instead, the resources we provide are limited to that
which can only be provided by Biblical counselors.
Not Professional Advice: Some of the resources may be provided by individuals that work
in professional fields outside this ministry. However, as a part of this ministry, any
resources they provide are strictly based on Biblical teachings and are not to be
considered to be the same kind of professional advice and services that they may do
when they are hired in their professional capacities. Therefore, if you have significant,
legal, financial, medical, or other technical questions that are non-Biblical in nature, you
should seek advice from an independent professional. We will be happy to cooperate with
such advisors and help you to consider their counsel in light of relevant Scriptural
principles.

Do you live locally and
need to meet one on one
with a Biblical Counselor?
If you live near Albuquerque, NM
we may be available to help.
First, contact us so that we can
schedule a pre-counseling
appointment. We require that
the person seeking to begin
counseling make the contact
and not someone on their behalf
(the only exception to this policy
is in the case of a parent or
guardian calling to arrange
counseling for their minor child
or the person in their care). By
doing this we know that you are
personally committed to taking
the first step and are not being
scheduled for an appointment
when you are not committed to
attending.
Before we meet for your
appointment, we would like you
to complete and fill out a
Personal Data Inventory (PDI).
You may click on the
"Counseling Forms" button on
the Counseling Menu (above)
and print the form.
