What is biblical orthodoxy?

Biblical orthodoxy refers to the right belief and teaching of the essential doctrines of the Christian faith, including the Trinity, the deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, and the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.

Why does orthodoxy matter in today’s culture?

Orthodoxy matters because it anchors Christians in unchanging truth amidst a culture that increasingly promotes relativism, progressive theology, and moral compromise. It preserves the integrity of the gospel and the witness of the Church.

How can Christians stand firm in biblical truth?

Christians can stand firm by knowing the essential doctrines, staying rooted in Scripture, engaging culture with grace and clarity, remaining in biblical community, and praying for boldness and wisdom.

How should the Church respond to cultural drift?

The Church must respond by boldly proclaiming the gospel, visibly living out the truth, equipping believers for cultural engagement, refuting error, and modeling a counter-cultural community grounded in God’s Word.

How can I live out orthodoxy in everyday life?

You can live out orthodoxy daily by honoring God in your relationships, work, witness, home, and habits—aligning your life with the truth of Scripture and seeking to reflect Christ in all things.
