| Are
we all victims of our past? Are we suffering from the ravages of
low self-esteem? Do we need "Christian" psychology to
rescue us? Or, does "Christian" psychology have a
corrosive effect on biblical teachings and on the life of Christ in
the believer? Author Jim Owen warns that "Christian"
psychology: Presents a pathological view of sin, Contradicts the
biblical doctrines of human nature, Treats people as victims, Fosters
the idea that people need psychological intervention to stop sinning,
Undermines believers' reliance on the Lord, and Denies the sufficiency
of Christ and His Word.
Owen calls believers back to the all-sufficient
Jesus Christ. He urges them to trust fully in Christ's ever present
provisions. the power of his indwelling Holy Spirit, and the sure
guidance of the inerrant Word of God.
