Apparently, there was a man who owned a hundred sheep and employed a shepherd and assistants to care for his flock. The shepherd knew each sheep by name and counted them at least twice a day. However, when the shepherd’s attention was diverted for a moment, one of the sheep wandered off until it was completely by itself. The shepherd left the rest of the sheep in the open country (in the Gospel of Luke) or on the hills (in the Gospel of Matthew) in search of this one sheep. It may seem silly for the shepherd to leave the ninety-nine (99); but, the shepherd knew the ninety-nine (99) would be safe, but the lost sheep was in danger.
Summary In the book, Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality, Mark McMinn commences by providing the groundwork for the Christian worldview about counseling. He indicates that the book is crucial for individuals interested in looking into the aspect of intra-disciplinary integration (McMinn, 1996). In his exploration of the intra-disciplinary integration frontier, McMinn (1996) focuses on the challenges that Christian counselors face in their practice. As McMinn (1996) discusses the aspect of integration, he disregards religious interventions as well as foundational perspectives, indicating that they might not apply to the identified frontier.
At the point when religious debate inside the Christian culture turned into a staggering standard, assortments of reconstruction were pervasive in Western Europe. In England, the Protestant Reformation started with the Act of Supremacy in 1534, making Henry VIII the leader of the Anglican Church. The general population of England faced drawbacks under the power of Thomas Cromwell, for the land of the Catholic church was seized and religious communities brought around the legislature. Cromwell, as Henry's Lord Chancellor and leader of the King's Council, started strategies that soon prompted complaints and equipped challenges from his residents. The Pilgrimage of Grace permitted general society to effectively pass on their worries and desires
The Protestant Reformation in England, starting in 1534 with the Act of Supremacy led to a disheveled nation affected by many new policies implemented by King Henry the eighth. Catholics protested the new policies with the Pilgrimage of Grace lasting from October 1536 to February 1537. Concerning participants in the Pilgrimage of Grace was Thomas Cromwell’s subjective orders and the effects resulting from the King imposing his authority over the peasants. Participants in this march were vying for the restoration of Catholic traditions and ways of life. All of this was in response to those who were against this movement and were working to raise the Crown’s authority after being worried about an uprising or revolt against the Protestant King.

(2010) by McMinn, Staley, Webb, and Seegobin the authors decipher the differences between various Christian approaches. Biblical counseling, pastoral counseling, and Christian psychology are a few of the different methods which can be used when clients want a Christian perspective integrated into their therapy. Biblical counseling is mainly used among very conservative Christians who wish to return the role of counseling to the church (McMinn et al., 2010, p. 392). “Biblical counselors consider the bible to be superior and more authoritative than psychological science, theory, or technique” (McMinn et al., 2010, p. 392). Pastoral counseling can have two different meanings.
3. The audience for the essay, “Laws Concerning Food and Drink; Household Principles; Lamentations of the Father” from the Atlantic by Ian Frazier is for parents. The audience is portrayed throughout the essay through the tone of the narrator. The narrator uses a superior and authoritative tone as he is speaking, much like a parent.

During the Holocaust, many Jews lost their identities, no longer feeling like the person they were before.
An individual can become emotionally disturbed due to their own sin or due to the sin of someone else. Psychological and Spiritual Growth This segment of the chapter discuss whether or not a counselor should confront the client about sin. Will the confrontation increase their spiritual and mental health, or will it cause them to turn away from the counselor and the help the counselor has to offer?

You see the amount of sin in the world if you were to watch the news for a couple minutes. It is full of people murdering, raping, and doing immoral things to bring themselves pleasure. When Jesus came to the earth, he became man, but did not become like man. He did not assimilate to the structure of society, but instead challenged others to follow him and change their lives for the better. That is what God is calling us towards today.
“The deep truth is that our human suffering need not be an obstacle to the joy and peace we so desire, but can become, instead, the means to it.

Essay #1: Why is biblical counseling important, and how does it fit within the ministry of the local church? As Christians, biblical counseling helps us apply both the greatest (and the second which is like it) commands as spoken by Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40.
