Introduction to "COUNSEL"

There is much to be said about the subject of counsel. The word counsel means "advice." In the Old Testament, we find that the Hebrew definition of counsel is the word guidance. When we say we need counsel, we are saying that we need advice or guidance in our lives.

There is a difference between the word counsel and the word counseling. Counsel is rarely sought and often very quick. It is not an ongoing process, whereas counseling is ongoing.

 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established - Proverbs 15:22  This verse speaks about purposes without counsel.  Our purpose can be defined as our plan, vision, desire, or direction for our lives.

 The content of this blog is meant as counsel that is based on principles that I have learned from studying the Word of God down through the years. I will share thoughts and ideas on a number of topics that I have taught and preached over the past 18 years.  Some of the posts will be one to two sentences in length, while others may contain extra thoughts and/or short lists.

 I hope these nuggets of counsel will be a blessing to whomever reads them.
