Welcome to Confessions of Grace, a blog dedicated to exploring the riches of Reformed theology
|
||||
and the doctrines of grace. Our aim is to articulate timeless biblical truths in a clear,
|
||||
accessible manner, helping believers understand the depth and beauty of God's sovereign grace.

<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">What Do You Mean By "Confessions of Grace"?</h2>
|
||||
<p className="text-primary-700 mb-6">
|
||||
The name "Confessions of Grace" is a play on Augustine's "Confessions" and John Bunyan's "Grace
|
||||
Abounding to the Chief of Sinners."
|
||||
I originally wanted to call the blog "Confessions of the Chief of Sinners," but that felt a bit too
|
||||
long.
|
||||
The idea behind those books is that we are all sinners saved by grace, needing to confess that grace
|
||||
to others.
|
||||
"Confessions of Grace" seems to fit that idea well.
|
||||

||||
<h3 className="text-xl font-bold mb-3">Our Vision</h3>
|
||||
<p className="text-primary-700 mb-6">
|
||||
In an age of theological confusion and spiritual relativism, we seek to provide content
|
||||
that is firmly rooted in Scripture, historically informed, and pastorally sensitive.
|
||||
We believe that sound doctrine leads to doxology—that theology, properly understood,
|
||||
results in worship and wonder at the character and works of God.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 className="text-xl font-bold mb-3">What We Believe</h3>
|
||||
<p className="text-primary-700 mb-6">
|
||||
We stand in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation, affirming the five "solas":
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul className="list-disc list-inside mb-6 text-primary-700 space-y-2">
|
||||
<li><span className="font-semibold italic">Sola Scriptura</span> — Scripture Alone</li>
|
||||
<li><span className="font-semibold italic">Sola Fide</span> — Faith Alone</li>
|
||||
<li><span className="font-semibold italic">Sola Gratia</span> — Grace Alone</li>
|
||||
<li><span className="font-semibold italic">Solus Christus</span> — Christ Alone</li>
|
||||
<li><span className="font-semibold italic">Soli Deo Gloria</span> — Glory to God Alone</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p className="text-primary-700 mb-6">
|
||||
As Reformed Baptists, we affirm the doctrines of grace as articulated in the 1689 London
|
||||
Baptist Confession of Faith. This historic confession provides a robust and faithful summary
|
||||
of biblical doctrine, emphasizing God's sovereignty in salvation and the centrality of Christ
|
||||
in all things.

||||

|
||||

My wife and I are members of Covenant Community Church,
|
||||
where I have been blessed to grow in faith and fellowship. My passion for theology and
|
||||
technology inspired me to start this blog as a way to share the beauty of God's sovereign
|
||||
grace.
|
||||
I hope to one day reach unreached people groups and share the gospel with them.
