description: We dont get to choose between humility and orthodoxy. We need both. Orthodoxy for the faithful evokes whats 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. Its time for Gods 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 Phariseesright in our doctrine but ultimately destroying the cause of truth with our pride.
