Making Sense Of Confessionalism Today, Joel Okamoto
Concordia Journal
Okamoto states that problems with confessionalism come from taking the Confessions for granted. He suggests making the confessions our own by seeking to explain and defend them for our time and place. The Apology of the Augsburg Confession should remain in force, but a twenty-first Apology could provide a contemporary explanation for current circumstances. This would be a way to appropriate the confessions as confessions, not merely as doctrinal standards, and would be a constructive rather than defensive approach.

The unrepented sins of Israel received their due; so the sins of our age will not go unpunished by God unless people confess their sins and cast themselves upon the mercy of God that is offered in Christ Jesus.
