What is a personal matter? Do we compartmentalize our spirituality into a tidy little drawer, or is it the foundation underlying ALL things: personal, financial, spiritual, interpersonal - our WHOLE being?
I'm not against secular counseling, but I think the church is sufficient enough where there is plenty of wisdom to gain by pastors and elders in our churches. There is nothing new under the sun.
