John 3:16
If we don’t understand the broader story framework of the Bible, even a verse as familiar as John 3:16 can be misunderstood and its message distorted.

Jesus’s Temple Protest

Knowing which tables need to be flipped requires the discernment that comes from being rooted in healthy community.
