The Bible Line April 28, 2026

Tom, North Carolina -  I am a new pastor at a Southern Baptist church. We still do a traditional Sunday school hour on Sunday mornings before the main worship service. Many of the teachers of these mixed gender classes are ladies. Actually most of them are ladies. Is that in violation of I Timothy 2:12? I've heard people address that passage from preaching a church service but not really in regards to Bible study/Sunday school classes?

Nathan and Sarah, Lebanon, CT - Dr. Broggi, This is the second time I have been in a "traditional" church where a single female performed an interpretive dance with background music intended as a form of worship. When this has been addressed the example almost always mentioned is that David danced before God in the context of 2 Samuel chapter 6. There are other scriptural references used from Psalms but mostly the emphasis is placed on the 2 Samuel text. I have a strong conviction that this should not be done it church and do not know of any New Testament didactic teaching that states this is to be an acceptable practice in the church, but I would appreciate your insight on this subject. From your biblical perspective, would you consider this to be a spiritual gift?

Anita, Statesboro, GA -  What bible version do you preach from?

Phillip, Buraby, Canada -  Dr. Broggi, I'm so thankful to God that you are preaching the Word so passionately and clearly, I hope God will bless you abundantly through your preaching's. I have questions concerning on repentance, What is the real repentance ? Can a man that who proclaimed that he had repented from his sins, can he be still living in the same sinful life?
