If I listen to a preacher online I will choose one whose theology aligns with my own or at least, not very different from what my church teaches (I know my catechism:)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-89188669959123992172020-03-06T09:10:39.426-08:002020-03-06T09:10:39.426-08:00I should like to add people should be very careful...I should like to add people should be very careful with all sorts of "youtube preachers". We have no idea who and what they are. In my country, we are very lucky when it comes to lutheran priests: they are highly educated people and selected with a dense comb. And they are also trained to give what is called "pastoral care", which is almost like therapy/counceling, but from spiritual point of view. <br /><br />Of course not all of them are good preachers, and some of them are women, but still it is safe to speak to people like that. You know they are professionals. <br /><br />BTW have you actually ready Ayn Rand?

Yes, there are many advisers out there who say....avoid all public schools in america because xyz....and I'm sitting here "on the internet" thinking about that one family that lost their father in a car-accident and then teenage son was outgrowing his bed room, while three others were sleeping in a closet in the mother's room....privacy of more value? or shall we say...hunt down the family until they have no idea what an education actually happens to be (basic numbers and letters do not bite...and privacy is a blessing).... local educators are there for a reason folks.Raggedy Cottage Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932578499656289673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-7038508257902497482020-03-04T11:12:55.293-08:002020-03-04T11:12:55.293-08:00Thanks, Elspeth!

If one is not blessed with family and good friends, getting involved in the church and local community could be probably a better answer than looking for solutions to all your problems online...Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-16246886082908711172020-03-04T08:07:24.795-08:002020-03-04T08:07:24.795-08:00You make some excellent points here.

There seems to be some weird objection to the idea that the best people to offer counsel and advice are those who know you and know something about your life.<br /><br />Whether it's Titus 2 (which I believe is an organic type of mentoring not the establishment of an official "ministry"), or counsel offered to men, there is no substitute for relationships.<br /><br />And I also agree that evo-psych is a terrible basis for Christian marital counseling but it seems to be the favored source in some corners of the web.Elspethhttp://readingbetweenthelife.comnoreply@blogger.com
