New Feature to Begin Sunday...
In the past I have posted a few historic Creeds and Confessions. Going forward, I want to dedicate my Sunday posts entirely to Creeds, Confessions, and Catechisms.
As I have often lamented on this blog, we live in a era where people no longer value historic church documents. I have often heard it said that this reaction is due to people having equated these documents with Scripture, however, I have yet to meet someone who is guilty of this.
What many people fail to realize is that many creeds and confessions were formulated in response to heresy. That being the case, it might be wise to investigate what brought about the formulation of a certain confession before rejecting it outright.
When possible, I will post an entire document, but due to the fact that many confessions are rather lengthy, I may only be able to post a section at a time. I hope this exercise will be profitable and perhaps others will begin to value these documents as well.

Look forward to it, my man!
Just got your DVD's too. I don't know when I'll be able to sit down with them, but I am anxious to do it.
