The Confession of Faith The Westminster Shorter Catechism
In final preparation for ordination in
the
Presbyterian
Church in America I was required to translate a
portion of God's Word from the original language. I chose a short
passage from the incredibly rich and glorious Gospel of John. The
fruit of those studies led me to entitle the paper:
The
Gospel of
Truth.
Since that time my understanding of Jesus' words in verse thirty-two
of chapter eight have been the foundation for my preaching ministry:
"You shall know the
correct doctrine and that truth shall set you free from sin."
In the providence of God's time and with
the encouragement of our Church Session, I have been allowed to focus
my heart on the essential doctrines of the faith in this series on
our beloved
Westminster
Shorter Catechism with which
generations of our children have been imbued in the fundamentals of
the Reformation.
