The word “confessional” might bring several things to mind. Perhaps you went to a confessional booth, or you grew up in a denomination that had "no creed but the Bible." But to be known as a historically confessional church means we believe, confess, and practice the historic faith passed down from the apostles and the church fathers, joining the global church in proclaiming Christ as Lord.
Ultimately, we are not confessing abstract ideas; we are confessing a person. This is why if we are going to be known as a historically confessional people, we must hold on to and guard the unchanging gospel, because through it God is holding on to and guarding us.
