| | | | | Know-It-All Counselors - Dale Buchanan
As we learn more and grow in the Lord, we sometimes consider ourselves experts. We may think we have all the answers to our brother’s problem. So, before listening completely, we unwisely jump the gun and give them an answer.
When Samuel went to anoint King Saul’s successor, he incorrectly thought Eliab was the right man for the job. God reminded Samuel that man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. David, the youngest son of Jesse, was God’s man. When David told the prophet Nathan about his plan to build the temple, Nathan quickly told David to go ahead and do it. But later that day, God spoke to Nathan, telling him that David was not the man to build the temple. Nathan had to go back to David and correct his counsel.
Many times, I have sat in a small group listening to someone talk about one of their problems. Before listening to the full story, one person speaks up. “I have had that problem. Here’s what you need to do about it.” But perhaps, due to not having all the facts, we misunderstand their problem. And, maybe, God doesn’t want them to handle the situation as we did.
Proverbs 18:13 (KJV) says, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” James 1:19 cautions, “let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak.” Proverbs 15:28 (KJV) gives this critical statement, “The heart of the righteous studieth to answer.”
For one Christian to counsel another, we must first be sure that our heart is right with God. Then, after listening fully, we should determine from the Scriptures and the direction of the Holy Spirit how we should counsel our brother or sister in Christ.

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”
"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
