Help! I have someone visiting us from Chippewa Falls, WI. Can anyone recommend a mid-sized church (specifically 300 or less people on Sunday) near Chippewa Falls with solid preaching and people?

Listening to our man Scott Shipferling preach grace and gospel truth on “Jesus Calms The Storm,” and I’m like–

@robert_sweatt Yeah. looks like I'll have to go with a rebinding with customization options for leather color, gilding, etc. Thanks man!

@joethorn I’ve heard great things about Rockwall but they are a rebinder. Idk if that’s what you’re looking for.

Who is producing the best customized #premiumbibles that would allow me to choose the color of the leather cover, and style of gilding, etc.?

@goatfoot21 Thanks! But it doesn't look like they do the customization I want.

@joethorn HumbleLamb is good too. Unless you're 2CV

@DianaMarie3yah @apologistlayman If the new Apple Watch costs $25, sure!

What’s on your wrist today gang?

@ronniejmartin That is peak me.

@joethorn You’re better than this, Thorny.

💥📢 PASTOR ROLL CALL 💥📢 1. What’s the text/topic for your sermon? 2. How can I pray for you? Love you guys!

@ColtonYarbro @heatherdino09 @DeanLentini You misspelled “metalbore.” 😏🤘🏻

@joethorn @heatherdino09 @DeanLentini Not as much as me. I listen to Metalcore sometimes.

Ya know what I was just thinking? How much I love @joethorn… don’t you?

@TheCinesthetic Yes. It's "the end of the world" for the character who's personal life is unraveling, and that's more relevant anyway.

The obsession with apocalyptic stakes in action films is exhausting. Not every story needs the fate of the world. Smaller conflicts can feel more immediate, more personal, and often more thrilling.

@heatherdino09 @DeanLentini To be fair, I suck too.

@DeanLentini @joethorn He’s rad. People suck.

"think of the world's vanity, to contemn it; of death, to expect it; of judgment, to avoid it; of hell, to escape it; and of heaven, to desire it." - Lewis Bayly, The Practice of Piety

@B_______Q_____ That’s ordinary discipline. Ordinary meaning it is the daily life of faith intended to be common in all believers. Read the article if you are unfamiliar with piety vs pietism.

@joethorn Paul said he died daily and beat his body into subjection. If this isn't radical discipline what is?

Our winter sermon series, Walking with God, is essentially a series on piety, which means we need to make a distinction between piety and pietism. Hoping this is helpful for our people. All the resources for the series are at joethorn.org/walking

@ShawnWGillogly Right. But that's what I say.

@joethorn Affirming. Piety=/=pietism. But it does mean, as the Puritans called it, Gospel Holiness.

The NT repeats the OT command to Be holy as He is Holy. Pursuing Gospel holiness is not optional. It is not pietism. It is working out our salvation. None of us have arrived at perfection. But none of us are free to excuse sin in the camp.
