Course Description

In Matthew 7:3-5 God says to not focus on the “speck that is in your brother’s eye” but to “first take the log out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” The Self-Confrontation course is a study of this and many other life-changing biblical principles. You will find the study to be challenging and also full of encouragement and hope for living victoriously in the power of the Holy Spirit, even through the most difficult trials of life. You can watch a short video about the course and materials (Self-Confrontation Manual and Student Workbook) 

Some of the topics include:

A. Biblical hope and foundation for change

B. Biblical methodology for change

C. Biblical understanding of self

D. Biblical understanding of anger

E. Biblical view of forgiveness

F. Unbiblical Communication

G. Marriage relationships

H. Parent-child relationships

I. Depression

J. Fear and worry

K. Life-dominating problems

The subtitle of Self-Confrontation is “A Manual for In-Depth Biblical Discipleship,” and has been part of BCF’s core curriculum since the very beginning of the ministry in 1974. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been encouraged and enriched through this systematic life-application study of God’s Word.
