What’s the difference between creeds and confessions, and are they helpful to the church today? And what about church covenants? I give an overview of the distinctives of these documents and explain their benefits for contemporary believers. They can be helpful tools that summarize our faith and convictions. Specifically with covenants, they also remind church members of their commitments to one another.
