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="mb-4 text-2xl font-bold">What Do You Mean By “Confessions of Grace”?</h2>
|
|
<p className="mb-6 text-primary-700">
|
|
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="mb-3 text-xl font-bold">Our Vision</h3>
|
|
<p className="mb-6 text-primary-700">
|
|
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.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h3 className="mb-3 text-xl font-bold">What We Believe</h3>
|
|
<p className="mb-6 text-primary-700">
|
|
We stand in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation, affirming the five “solas”:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul className="mb-6 list-inside list-disc space-y-2 text-primary-700">
|
|
<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="mb-6 text-primary-700">
|
|
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.
