An excerpt from "Reformed Theological Seminary.edu" entitled, "Biblical Counseling and the Church" by Dr. Jim Newheiser, states: "As people face addictions, deal with loss and grief, and seek help in restoring broken relationships, where can they turn for counsel and assistance? The local church has been uniquely blessed with the gift of the gospel and is able to offer hope and counsel that no other institution on earth can."
