Been off social media for over 6 months. Back on IG, but is Twitter/X worth it? I tend to find more discouragement here than those “good words” Proverbs talks about. Got any advice for a better experience on this thing?
"When God gives a promise, he always tries our faith. Just as the roots of trees take firmer hold when they are contending with the wind; so faith takes firmer hold when it struggles with adverse appearances. - McCheyne
“The preacher who neglects to preach to himself has forgotten a very important part of his audience. He who never in his silent privacy speaketh a word to his own soul, doth not know where to begin his preaching. We must first address our own soul.” - Spurgeon
“The Christian is bred by the word, and he must be fed by the word.” - Charnock
“Men do not throw off God from being their rule till they throw off Scripture from being their guide.” - Charnock
I move that those giving nomination speeches stop sounding like 19th century carnival barking hype men who specialize in hyperbole.
I’m thinking you shouldn’t be allowed to use a mic if you don’t understand what is and isn’t in order, what is and isn’t germane, and what is and isn’t a point of order. Yikes. #SBC23
Hanging with an IMB missionary to a closed country who’s back home for a quick visit. Love this guy and what he’s doing. Come say Hi at Cuban Creations.
Want to hang and meet an amazing IMB missionary tonight? We will be at Cuban Creations.
I think after this year at #sbc23 “rickroll” might take on a new meaning.
So, can I show the QR code and email on my phone indicating I am a messenger for the #SBC23 or do I still need to print it to get into the convention?
Getting ready to head to the SBC in New Orleans. I’ve been anticipating drama, but now I need to worry about the Illuminati?!
I ask every SBC pastor to watch "What is a B.A.P.T.I.S.T? (Pt 2 in my pre-convention series) sbcstand.com/videos/part-2 It's 7 Baptist Distinctives I've taught for 43 yrs since I wrote it for Saddleback's Membership Class 101 in 1980 Stil taught monthly for 4hrs. 74,000 graduates
OTD in 1665, the First Baptist Church of Boston organized. 2 women and 7 men organized this church, The first pastor, Thomas Gould, and three others were baptized on that day, the others having been baptized in England. (28 of the 3d mo. 1665 [New Style: June 7, 1665])

This sort of language and teaching is the result of not being able to distinguish nature and grace.
“There’s no such thing as PTSD. There’s no such thing as OCD. There’s no such thing as ADHD.” — John MacArthur
Oh but Johnny Mac isn’t a Fundy…
“There’s no such thing as PTSD. There’s no such thing as OCD. There’s no such thing as ADHD.” — John MacArthur
(And to be clear, I am not implying that medicine cannot be helpful at appropriate times, just that diagnosis does not automatically equal prescription and nothing else etc)
Also, the diagnosis of a condition does not, of itself, necessitate a pharmaceutical treatment path as almost all of those conditions are helped by behavioral intervention, CBT, etc. so it's simply a false dichotomy to posit drugs v. behavioral engagement.
It’s a shame that most celebrity pastors don’t interact with the sheep they are called to Shepherd. There is a big problem when you call a man Pastor, speak very highly of him, share his quotes on SM but you don’t know him.
This is not biblical counseling, this is biblicist counseling. And it’s harmful.

Good mail day. Thanks, @PatAbendroth! Thankful for you, brother. May have to shelve this next to Machen.
The Bible goes from creation, to the fall into sin and its wide-ranging entailments, to new creation via redemption by the incarnate Son of God, and all for the glory of the triune God.
@joethorn Please be back. We need more level-headed opinions like yours around.
@joethorn Limit time on it. Curate who you follow and engage with. Mute and block as needed. I’m encouraged by actually engaging with people. I even have a few real life friends from this site. But I find the more time I spend on the site the less encouraged I am so less is more
@joethorn Be careful with who you follow and then only use the "Following" option as opposed to "For You".
@joethorn Hey Joe. It’s taken work but I’ve managed to curate a really pleasant overall experience here. It’s not a total echo chamber but I’ve managed to build a follow-group that is ecumenically charitable and encouraging. There are some great Baptist, reformed, and other brothers here
Augustine saw the Old Testament as the first book of the New Testament. ~ see @brandon_d_smith Taught by God, 20-21
