I heard of Christians taking the course thinking it would be easy credits towards their degree but getting red-lines through their work and failing grades with comments from the tutor saying, "You have not expressed what we have taught!", and, "You were not asked to share your faith!".

Never ever. I have received excellent counseling on subjects of interest and need from very wise elders. Praise God for them. I think I will much rather be thankful for how God blesses me, than try to think of some bad advice, Biblical or otherwise. God the Holy Spirit has led me to churches that go through the Bible verse by verse rather than topically and contemporarily, churches with well educated elders and fine deacons and pretty wonderful brothers and sisters too. Just haven't run into anything even close to what is presented as example of bad advice. Maybe I have heard bad advice and just have been too busy with great advisers to pay it any heed, nor even remember it. Can't imagine why I would want to clutter my limited brain's file cabinet space with memories of bad advice. Anyway guess I have been blessed with just super local bodies of Christ and with fine congregation attendees and members, each encouraging the others. Thanks for helping me realize how God has blessed! Edited July 10, 2018 by Neighbor spelling change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Equippers, I had the "privilege " of meeting God, by way of losing family members to sudden deaths, and by being dragged across country to tend to family needs, having my own career up ended, and finding myself working in an industry that I did not know, with 11 hostile partners, and a business to run and sell. My own breaking point in my own denial of God and sin against Him was reached when I was in screaming pain from my chronic back issues and as I considered ending my life if I could only just move instead of scream. I was challenged by what I now think was an angel, who was used of the Holy Spirit to turn me about to God right then and there. I did not then become privileged on earth. Instead I faced five years of civil court battles at State and federal levels, and loss of a small fortune. Only to then be dragged back across country to my old career to do a little something only I could do at a church there. And I did not greatly prosper even then, nor become privileged for that either. Instead I was stuck two years paying for a home clean across country from where I now had to live again. Eventually I was once again called to move back across country, and I started yet another career. In the process of life I have had six careers, suffered many injuries, had many personal hard losses of loved ones, and physical assets, many times over. Through it all I have never received anything but excellent Bible counsel which I do cherish, nor have I been led to anything but wondrously fine local bodies of Christ Jesus. That is not a judgement by me of anyone. It is a declaration that I have never had bad biblical advice. I cling to the word of God as it is revealed by the Holy Spirit as I read and pray. May God ease your pain. May the Holy Spirit guide you to many saints that do have love of neighbor and stranger alike on their hearts, and knowledge through the reveal of Jesus by the Holy Spirit to share and to comfort each other, all under the leadership of some blessed to the high responsibility of being an excellent elder pastor teacher and counselor. In that area, yes I am blessed for God has provided the perfect provision for my need each day. And I thank God.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 1 thes 5:18. give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
