“Jesus’s cross-shaped life and death modeled the cruciform life that is our calling. Like Him, we do not overcome imperial powers through earthly means. Instead, we embody His ‘revolutionary way of being revolutionary.’ Whether the world receives or rejects us will hold little weight if we are incarnating his way of being and doing, for His sake and theirs.”
Mark Chironna, The Death Prophets Society: The Significance of Prophetic Function in the 21st Century. Self-published, 2018, page 42.
I am a husband, father, and grandfather. A small, town about fifteen miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things in my woodshop. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I go fishing in the local streams and lakes when I can. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
