Christian Counselor
The Counselor’s Corner - by Charles Dixon “And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Col. 3:23
Meaning and purpose can always be found through our Lord and Savior. We give with all our
heart and soul by honoring the Lord’s plans with humble servitude. Jesus Christ provided an
unconditional example of love without pride for self by completing the task assigned by the
Lord, His Father. As believers, His Son, our Savior, has paid the price for our sins. On His
behalf, we can now call the Lord our Father for the blessings, spiritual gifts, and
strength to serve by the power of His Holy Spirit. Thanks be to our God.
(Charles is available to provide Christian counseling at the Baptist Center, 3009
Amity Hill Road, Statesville. For an appointment, call 704-873-4372 ext. 15.)
