We don’t get to choose between humility and
orthodoxy. We need both.
Orthodoxy, for the faithful, evokes what’s
cherished and beautiful and eternal. Yet in our day, orthodoxy is too often
wielded like a weapon, used to bludgeon others with differing points of view.
The word has become associated with behavior like argumentative, annoying, and
arrogant.
It’s time for God’s people to demonstrate both
right thinking and right attitudes. We are called to embrace
and defend biblical truth. But that truth includes repeated commands to love
our neighbor, love our enemy, and be clothed in gentleness and respect.
In Humble Orthodoxy, bestselling author Joshua
Harris examines New Testament teachings about the calling of believers to a
love-infused courage that ignores foolish controversies, patiently endures
evil, and champions truth with generosity of spirit. Without this kind of
humility, Harris asserts, we become like the Pharisees—right in our doctrine,
but ultimately destroying the cause of truth with our pride.
