orthodoxy and how it shapes us

"It is one thing to have an orthodox theory of the inspiration of Scripture, it is quite another for Scripture to inspire one's life and to shape one's imagination for what it means to be a Christian and what it means to be the church." - Todd Hunter

"Every day we wake up in the middle of something that is already going on, that has been going on for a long time: genealogy and geology, history and culture, the cosmos—God. We are neither accidental nor incidental to the story. We get orientation, briefing, background, reassurance. Matthew provides the comprehensive context by which we see all God’s creation and salvation completed in Jesus, and all the parts of our lives—work, family, friends, memories, dreams—also completed in Jesus." - Eugene Peterson in his introduction to the Gospel of Matthew
