It has been correctly said that true Christianity “is confessional Christianity,” and that a church with “a little creed is a church with a little life.”1 The true church has always confessed her faith openly for there is a “faith which is once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). As Christians, we should never be ashamed of this fact. Sadly, there is a motto which is proclaimed by some professed believers which says, “No creed but the Bible.” The problem with such a slogan is that it completely cuts people off from the body of instruction that God has so wonderfully given to the churches by means of gospel teachers throughout the centuries (cf.

About A New Exposition of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689For centuries, Baptists have published confessions of faith as formal statements of their beliefs. Chief among these is the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. This doctrinal statement is a spiritual treasure trove worthy of our fresh attention. In this new study, more than twenty contributors unpack its timeless biblical truths, ‘things which are most surely believed among us’ (Luke 1:1). Our prayer is that the Lord will use this volume to richly edify and sanctify His people worldwide, and to assist the churches in pursuing biblical holiness and doctrinal purity. May these labors send God’s people back again and again to the Bible, which is—as the confession states—the ‘only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience’ (1.1). Includes contributions from: • Earl M. Blackburn • Brian Borgman • Dave Chanski • David Charles • Jason Ching • Victor Claudio • Jim Domm • Gary Hendrix • Steven Hofmaier • Jeff Johnson • Mitch Lush • Lee McKinnon • John Price • Mike Renihan • John Reuther • Mark Sarver • James Savastio • Jeffery Smith • Rob Ventura • Calvin Walden • Sam Waldron • Austin Walker • Jeremy Walker |
