Standing in Line

Standing in line, waiting for my Grande Americano at Starbucks, I noticed the long shadow of my very short body (shot with my Blackberry Pearl).

Worship “Fail”

Posted by Joe Thorn - 27/08/08

Sin has made men worship either (1) a false God, which is idolatry; or (2) God falsely, which is superstition. Man has become such a fool that his worship, till enlightened and converted, is either a breach of the First or Second Commandment. He fails as to the object or manner of worship, and both speak to man’s folly, that his religion is either idolatry or superstition.
Ralph Venning, The Sinfulness of Sin

Are the Suburbs Killing Your Soul?

Posted by Joe Thorn - 26/08/08

Speaking of “thematic” preaching, this is a poster for the series I am preaching in September. These will go up around town to hopefully generate interest in the subject and buzz about the church. I’ll post more on the series itself later. The short take is: how does the gospel answer the brokennes, corruption and idolatry in our culture? Though it feels “safe” here, suburbia (like anywhere else) is a dangerous place to try and live.

On Preaching: Questions for Hearers

Posted by Joe Thorn - 25/08/08

Ok, these questions are not to be answered by those who preach regularly. I only want to hear from people who listen to preaching week in and week out. Got it? Here we go:

1. What would you like to hear more of from the pulpit?

2. When is a sermon too long?

3. Do you listen to “celebrity” preachers (Driscoll, Piper, etc.) via MP3’s, CDs? If so, who?

4. Do you critique your pastor’s preaching by comparing him to the celebrity preachers? Be honest.

5. In general, are you applying the sermon you hear on Sunday to your life throughout the week?
