At the baptism of Jesus, the Holy Spirit descended "like a dove." All four Gospels record this divine moment. It was not poetic embellishment. It was a visible sign from heaven. But what exactly was seen? Was it a literal dove? Was it a metaphor? Or something else...
Few passages in Scripture have been more misunderstood, misapplied, or weaponized than Paul’s words, “Let your women keep silent in the churches.” Taken out of context, it sounds like Paul is silencing half the Church. But rightly divided, with...
It is often said that “we are all God’s children,” but Scripture draws a deeper distinction. While all are created by God, loved by Him, and initially known in His Book, not all remain as His children. Jesus Himself addressed this in John 8, when...
