What the Bible says about Secular Advice
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Mark 7:32

In bringing the man to Christ, the deaf-mute man's friends proved their wisdom by knowing where to take the needy (James 5:13-16). Many in society recognize the problems of others. They know when a person is mentally and morally sick, but have no clue as to the true cure. Such people are often unaware of their ignorance, resulting in their championing strange remedies for people's serious needs.

Instead of leading a person to Christ for help—instead of pointing them to the Scriptures or quoting biblical passages as solutions—people are most likely to take a troubled person to a psychologist or psychiatrist for help (I Corinthians 1:20-21). Unfortunately, secular advice often perpetuates the problem rather than solving it (I John 2:15-17). Conversely, Christ is the answer to the greatest problems and needs of people, for "He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).
