Biblical Counseling of Arizona

When life is hard we listen and reflect Gods truth to reveal solutions.

"Even as we bring our needs, our uncertainties, and our fears before God, we are invited to do so with gratitude already present. It is not a denial of hardship, but a reorientation of the heart within it."

New article by BCA counselor, Sandy Bacon!

"You are not fighting for freedom. You are fighting from a position of freedom. The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you."

If you or someone you love is struggling to find freedom from habitual sin, we hope this is encouraging!

"Would you marry a bride if you knew at the altar she would cheat on you every day? Jesus did." @jaredcwilson

What unfathomable love!

Recent Barna research found that 67% of pastors report having struggled with pornography at some point in their lives, and nearly 1 in 5 say it is a current struggle.

Freedom grows in the light through confession, repentance, trusted community, and daily dependence on Christ. Pastor, you do not have to fight alone!

How much value do we place on the sanctity of God’s Temple? While the children of Israel were literally willing to stack their bodies up in heaps to defend the Temple in Jerusalem, have we even settled the basic question of who owns our bodies? Have we allowed our enemies an open door to what is sacred? Who owns what we look at, what we watch, what we eat, and how we spend our time? Who owns the purity of our mind, and the true faithfulness to our spouse?

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

The whole reason Christ came to earth was because our performance was inadequate! Rest in the perfect performance of Christ on your behalf and live in humble, loving and grateful relationship with God and others.

In all my years of pastoring, I have learned this lesson: a person’s spiritual maturity is not truly visible until they DON’T get their way. Then you see the person.

"You cannot love God if you are under the continual secret suspicion that he is really your enemy!" (Walter Marshall)

This was the last thing @TimKellerNYC ever said to Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

In God’s providence, it was scheduled to be shared with Redeemer congregants on May 19—the day he died (three years ago today).

We have become experts at naming what broke and novices at believing God can rebuild. —Trisha Priebe

In this interview, BCA counselor Lynne Paasch shares her story, her love for counseling, and how she learned to speak fluent Spanish. We are thankful for her heart for sharing the love of Jesus in tangible ways to those who are hurting!

"When we question the character of others merely because we disagree with them, we harm those who listen to us, ourselves most, and those we slander least." - Mark Dever

My Lord wept so that now my tears might be wiped away.

"Why are husbands and wives to give their bodies only to each other, in safety and joy? Because God’s relationship with his people is exclusive: a place of true shelter and intimate love." (Rachel Gilson)

There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

In being honest, the Bible welcomes you to be honest as well. In its refusal to minimize, diminish, or deny the harsh realities of our spiritual address, the Bible calls us to face the facts as well. Things are not okay around us or inside us. The brokenness presses in on every side.
