Quote of Note #244: Christlike Manhood

~ gachorpenning

“It’s not biblical manhood that men should aspire to but Christlike manhood. If we speak of biblical manhood, who is our pattern? Abraham? Moses? David? Elijah? With their propensity for deceit, anger, adultery, and violence? No, Jesus alone is our model of redeemed manhood.”

Brian Zahnd, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God: the Scandalous Truth of the Very Good News. Colorado Springs, CO: Waterbrook, 2017, page 59.

I am a husband, father, and grandfather. The southwestern Pennsylvania is currently home, though I've called several other places home before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things out of wood and other materials. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
