Side note: I recognize that the album cover with the upside down cross might cause some controversy. Here is a further explanation from the musician about the cover:
"...The inverted cross has also had a place since the early years of the church. Legend has it that Peter requested to be crucified upside-down because he felt unworthy to be crucified like Christ. So the Petrine Cross, as it’s called, is a symbol of humility. All of Maranatha’s lyrics are calling the Church to a posture of humility (including myself), and it just made sense to really drive that point home.
Secondarily, when you flip an American flag upside-down, it’s not disrespectful, but a symbol of distress. I thought stealing that idea and using a cross instead logically accompanied the meaning of the word “maranatha.”
And in the end, have we not as a community of people turned a Roman execution device into nothing but a logo? We have to remember that Jesus is the one we worship, not two intersecting lines..."
