44: Forsaking Our Wonderful Counselor

If someone said, "What really threatens the church counseling God's way?" 

• I would say there are two aspects to it that everything else fits under.  
• One is forsaking our Wonderful Counselor, then that always leads to the second one, turning to worldly counsel.

The church's failure to counsel God's way is our failure to look to the Lord Jesus as the Wonderful Counselor. 

• The church in many ways is drifting from the Lord; disobeying and neglecting His Word and thereby often being left open to deception. 
• Basically, to take the phrase out of Isaiah 9:6, where Jesus is called our "Wonderful Counselor," many in the church are forsaking our Wonderful Counselor.
