"There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy." — G.K. Chesterton

We can't be perfunctory about doctrine. When we read what the Bible has to say about bad doctrine — that it produces sin, that it endangers souls — and what it says about good doctrine — that it ought to be held firm and instructed, guarded, and contended for — we don't get the impression that right theology is just something on a questionnaire to be glossed over or nodded at.
The Scriptures give us no warrant to treat doctrinal orthodoxy like a mere formality.
