Confessing Jesus Christ

Confessing Christ in the Twenty-First Century, written for the layperson and for those who lead and teach them, challenges the readers to think about how their confession is the basis for claiming not only a relationship to a savior, but a way of living in the world--a politics--that is countercultural in the literal sense of that term. At the same time, it comforts them by reminding that the Lord they proclaim is one who opens up a way of living in genuine freedom and equality with others. Douglas probes essential issues in philosophy, theology, worship, ethics, and politics in a way that offers understanding and a comprehensive view, even as it stimulates readers to explore the meaning of their faith in vigorous conversation.

These essays and sermons articulate the basics of the Christian faith and are by some of the best-known evangelical voices in the Presbyterian Church today. The main ideas in these essays are congruent with the basic theology contained in "Union in Christ: A Declaration for the Church," which was adopted by the Presbyterian Coalition, a group that seeks renewal within the Presbyterian Church.

God has exalted Jesus to the highest place and given him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the Father. Jesus Christ is now the LORD whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, whether you agree with it or not, whether you will confess it or not. If Jesus Christ is not your LORD, who is now your LORD? Why don't you have the courage to confess with your mouth what you believe and who your LORD is? You will not have victory over your sin and live a life of freedom without confessing Jesus is LORD. You can't live your life as a free person without being freed by the lordship of Jesus Christ. Your life depends on whom you will confess as LORD. To make no confession is to deny Jesus Christ. We will change the world by our confessing Jesus Christ is LORD! - Publisher.
