here is much written research on what con-
stitutes “good counseling practice.” Marotta
andWatts (2007) in expounding on these best
practices suggest the growing need among
counselors to know about and be able to apply
the research evidence that undergirds the practice of coun-
seling. They add that this is a broad public discourse which
increasingly calls for accountability for providers across many
domains, not just counseling.
The Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 9:22 states, “I have
become all things to all people so that by all possible means I
might save some.”This was an accommodation on his part to
the people he was trying to reach for Christ. In attempting to
have a better understanding of their lots in life, Paul is seeking
to become in a more credible and receptive messenger as he
carries the message of the gospel to all people groups.
