MacArthur labeled as teaching psychology

Someone in our local church asked me to preview a website called Biblical Discernment Ministries. Their Statement of Faith is pretty solid, and there is some helpful information within the website. However, they start getting goofy in their "exposes" of some leading people in the Church.

For example, they affirm that MacArthur teaches and affirms psychological teachings. You can view their website to brush up on your own discernment skills! I have never heard MacArthur make such comments, either over Grace to You or in person. I was at GCC for four years, so I think that I would have heard something during that time. Apparently, these people have the "inside scoop" and know what MacArthur believes better than he himself does!

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so blind to the truth. Speaking of the Introduction to Biblical Counseling book that was published in 1994, this website says, "These days anything written by John MacArthur seems to automatically come with high recommendations, and this book is no different. However, we can find nothing in it to recommend" (emphasis mine). I think that is a fairly overrated comment, considering it is a great book on Biblical, nouthetic counseling.
