An oriole adds vibrant color to a flowering tree. Like many birds, orioles migrate long distances each spring and fall, following food sources and temperate climates.

Born Again or Begotten? (Part Two)
Jesus' born-again teaching has been prone to misunderstanding since Nicodemus first heard it from Christ's own lips almost two thousand years ago.

Interpreting Jesus' symbols physically obscures necessary truths about how God sees His children and how we see ourselves.
