I Confess (Part I)

Carl Trueman
Feb 5, 2013
In this, the first of a short series on the discipline of confessionalism, I want to make the point that confessional Christians are those who are disciplined by their confession. What do I mean by this? Take an elder in a confessional church. He has taken public vows before the church to uphold a...

For many years now I have heard stories of how the Lord is doing great things in this huge country, how Pentecostalism is sweeping all before it. Indeed, I remember one colleague...

Jan 28, 2013
