Oy!

Seriously, the best answer, for my taste, is to renew interest in the Confessions - not for their own sake per se - but because men are convinced they're Biblical.

I'm sitting this one out for a bit until I have the energy for it because this is one of those things that I can advocate from a number of different angles. Most simply, however, I wish men and women would take the time to reflect upon what they're losing when they abandon the Confessions. Most of the abandonment today is really not deliberately thought out unfortunately. A lot of it really stems from not being deliberate about what we believe and then making decisions in light of it. I'm not saying knowledge of the Confessions is a cure all but surely ignorance of what they teach (and especially why they teach it) is at root of much of the problem.
