Confessions of Faith (Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, etc. and many scriptural creeds, The Ten Commandments, as an example) are those wonderfully worded distillations of a lot of pages of scripture and a lot of history of God's people. They don't take the place of the whole Bible, but they do remind us of the bullet points, the high points, the main points we dare not forget.
Paul, our pastor, has been reminding us of some of the history of the more common creeds or Confessions of Faith that we often say together in worship. It is really cool to bring us back to the essentials and to connect us in some way to Christians of long ago, and right now around the world, for that matter.
Another Confession of Faith that we say as we live our lives today is...our very lives. Our lives "confess our faith" or they deny our faith. What confession have you made today by the thoughts you think, by the words you say or the way you say them? Is your life making a "good confession" today?
I welcome any comments on Confessions of Faith.
