September 11, 2020 Show with Dr. Jeffrey C. Waddington on “A New Series on the Book of Romans” (Part 2)

Iron Sharpens Iron Opens With the Iron Sharpens Iron Motto and Program Purpose

Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania, it's Iron Sharpens Iron. This is a radio platform in which pastors, Christian scholars, and theologians address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Proverbs chapter 27 verse 17 tells us iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage we are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have in view in conversation to make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours and we hope to hear from you the listener with your own questions. And now here's your host Chris Arnzen.

Good afternoon Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida, and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth who are listening via live streaming at ironsharpensironradio .com. This is Chris Arnzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio wishing you all a happy Friday.

On this 11th day of September 2020, obviously I think that every Christian today should set aside a portion of the day even if it be just a brief prayer on behalf of the family members of victims who perished during the most infamous attack of American citizens on American soil in the history of our nation's existence.

Of course, I'm referring to the horrific 9 -11 attack upon the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001 on this date and also the crashing of an airliner in Pennsylvania that was believed to be headed towards some other very important landmark in our nation before brave passengers took down the terrorists and the plane with it to prevent that from happening even though they realized they were bringing themselves to a certain death.

We ask of you to pray for the survivors, the surviving families of the victims of that horrific event today. But today we are not going to be discussing that. I'll be announcing our guest and topic momentarily, but I also wanted to ask my listeners for special prayer today for somebody who's going to remain anonymous, a friend of mine finally after a year of my nagging and the nagging of other brothers and sisters in Christ who are hounding this individual to admit himself into a Christian drug and alcohol recovery program.

Finally, this individual has done it and has admitted himself into an organization that I cannot sing the praises about, Hebron Colony Ministries in Boone, North Carolina. One of the reasons I can't stop singing the praises about that ministry is that I myself was a resident there somewhere in the neighborhood of a decade ago after falling back tragically into the damnable sin of alcohol abuse.

I thank God that after leaving that wonderful ministry in Boone, North Carolina, Hebron Colony, I have never even once had the inclination or the desire to have a drink. Now, I'm not saying that that is what happens to everyone that goes through the program at Hebron Colony or any other Christian rehabilitation and recovery program.

It just so happens that God had mercy on me in that particular way. I'm a sinner in many other ways, but that for now is not one of them. And I know that I have to always be wary of the truth that he who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

So I cannot let myself be prideful over this, but I could just say that I sing the praises of Hebron Colony. And I ask of you all to pray for this individual who will remain nameless, that he successfully goes through the entire program and when he has graduated from there, as they call it, they actually have a graduation ceremony if you successfully complete the program, that he returns home a new man and no longer has that sin in his life.

And unfortunately, some that leave there have even overdosed and killed themselves from drugs and alcohol even after going through this program. So we pray that that is not the case with this individual.

But please pray for this individual who is in Hebron Colony now. I spoke to Don Holder I believe it was yesterday. Don Holder is the Executive Director of Hebron Colony. And he told me this individual is very well acclimating, if that's grammatically correct, acclimating very well to the program so far.

And he is very pleased with everything he has seen and heard from this individual. So we pray that it continues in that vein and even gets better than that. For anybody who wants to either financially support this wonderful ministry or if you yourself or someone you know or someone you love has an addiction problem, go to hebroncolony .org.

The recovery program for men is in Boone, North Carolina, the really gorgeous mountains of Boone, North Carolina. And they have a facility for women in Santee, South Carolina as well. So hebroncolony .org, that's h-e-b-r-o-n-colony .org.

So either go there for your own needs or the needs of your addicted friends, family, loved ones and neighbors, or go there to support them financially because I'm sure they could use every penny they can get.

They are strictly supported by the donations of individuals and churches and parachurch organizations. They do not accept any money from the government or the United Way or anybody else that would have sway in to what they do there.

And it's also the oldest continuously running drug and alcohol recovery program, from a Christian point of view anyway, in the United States. So it began during or perhaps after some time in the vicinity of World War II when the conservative Presbyterian pastor who founded Hebron Colony witnessed GIs returning home from the war who were alcoholics.

And he had a burden on his heart to reach out to them and see them brought to not only sober lives but infinitely more important into a saving relationship with Christ. So it's hebroncolony .org, hebroncolony .org.

Faith Orthodox Presbyterian Church and the Guest Introduction

Now let me introduce to you my guest today who is a dear friend, a man whose church where he serves as the pastor, and I got to actually let me correct that as our mutual friend Bill Shishko would say, it's not his church, it's the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So I better correct that. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ where my guest serves as under shepherd, I always look forward to opportunities to spread the word about this church, Faith Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania, where my guest recently accepted the call and was installed as their pastor, Dr. Jeffrey C. Waddington, who I've had on this program many times, even before he accepted the call at Faith OPC in Fawn Grove.

But if you listen to Iron, Trip, and Zion regularly, you will know that we have begun recently a new series on the Book of Romans that Dr. Waddington is leading, and this is the second installment of that series on the Book of Romans, and it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to Iron, Trip, and Zion Radio,.

Dr. Jeffrey C. Waddington. Brother, thank you for having me on, and on such an auspicious 19th anniversary of the attack. On Flight, I think it was Flight 93 that went down in Shanksville.

Yes, right, right in very close vicinity of very dear friends of mine who were once, before moving to Pennsylvania, they were once members, long-time members of the church where.

I was saved on Long Island. Ah, the national park downing of Flight 93, and I guess the greater...

And if you could, before we delve into that glorious book, to let our listeners know about Faith Orthodox Presbyterian Church of Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania, where you now serve as their.

Undershepherd. Yes, and thank you for the reminder that Bill... Yes, beautiful rural area of Pennsylvania. Yes, right on the one-half, we're one-half mile from the Mason-Dixon line, the state line of Maryland.

Probably, we regularly cry ministry as one built upon the proclamation and the manifestation, and to change and end in the eternity. Amen. Yes, the church does, as a congregation, goes back to the late 1800s, early 1900s.

1936, it separated from the mainline Presbyterian church nearby. It was independent as a Presbyterian church for its first... And was for many years a part of the Philadelphia... Years ago, 13 years ago...

For a small congregation, but a congregation that loves... Amen. If anybody wants to find out more.

About Faith Orthodox Presbyterian Church of Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania, go to faithopc .net. Faith O-P-C, for Orthodox Presbyterian Church, dot net, faithopc .net. Well, if you could, since we left off on our last discussion on the book of Romans, we left off on Romans chapter 1, verse 7, if I'm not mistaken, and therefore, if you could pick up where we left off and read.

For our listeners, Romans chapter 1, verses 8 through 13. Okay, we'll do that. Remind ourselves that we are in the introduction to the church at Rome, and as the introduction, but even beyond that, as we'll see, verses 8 through 13, to be...

Your faith is proclaimed... ceasing. I mention you always, and now at last succeed in coming to you. I do not want you to be... come to you...

Give us whatever insight you may have, or your theories on what Paul was referring to by the spiritual gift that he wanted to impart upon the saints at the church of Rome.

Well, most commentators simply suggest or build them up. Yes. But I don't... Not a supernatural one. Yeah, well, it would be supernatural, certainly in the sense that he's an apostle, and yes, as an apostle in this foundational era of the church, there are miraculous things that happen in his ministry, and of course miracles were a way, among other things, to attest to the divine appointment that he had.

I don't want to underplay how he looks like. He often says that we would be mutually blessed, a mutual blessing to one another, not just the one that he brings to the Roman church can benefit from it, but that he would benefit from it.

He would not live in solitary confinement, at least not on purpose, right, into one church, but they're intended to be.

In fact, we see in here, I think, a wonderful Romans 8, 28 example that all things work together for the good for those who love God and are the called according to his purpose, because things were delaying Paul's arrival to the church in Rome, and because of that, he wrote this letter that has been blessing the church for centuries, for millennia.

Yeah. I give a shout out to two of your.

Colleagues who have emailed me, Graham Dugas, I don't know if I'm mispronouncing his name, and...

Yeah, Graham Dugas.

And also Ryan Noah.

Yep, Ryan Noah is a colleague of mine at the Reform Forum.

Yes, they both have sent their greetings and thanked me for conducting this interview with you.

Well, they're good brothers, Graham and...

Yes, I intend to do a number of interviews in the not-so-distant future on the life and legacy of Greg Bonson. I did, not long ago, interview Gary DeMar on the life and legacy of Dr. Bonson, because Gary has brought into print for the first time some teaching transcripts of Dr. Bonson that are available in book form now through American Vision, but I intend to do a...

I might even do a week-long series in tribute to him in December during the anniversary of his death, but before that, I intend to do at least several interviews to assist in the fundraising of this work that you're talking about.

Yeah, it's done with the sermons of John Calvin, right? They were, you can imagine, Paul...

In fact, let's pick up right where you left off there, because we have to go to our first break. If anybody would like to join us on the air with a question of your own, our email address is chrisarnson at gmail .com.

Chrisarnson at gmail .com. Please, as always, give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA. Please only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter.

Let's say you disagree with your pastors or the predominant membership of your church over something we're addressing today, and you don't want to identify yourself, or you might even be a pastor, and you disagree with your fellow elders or your denomination over something that we are addressing today, and you don't want to draw attention to your identity.

We understand that, but if it's not personal and private, please give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA. Don't go away.

We'll be right back with Dr. Jeffersy Waddington after these messages. Here's what Gary DeMar, president of American Vision, had to say about Iron Shop and Zion Radio recently.

Good to be back, Chris. I always enjoy our time here. I have to tell you, one of the better interviewers out there, and I've been doing this for 30, more than 30 years.

Wow, that's some compliment. How much do I owe you for that?

You don't have to owe me anything. We're in good shape.

I'm glad you said it on the air, so I don't have to brag about myself. Tell your friends and loved ones about Iron Shop and Zion Radio, airing live Monday through Friday, 4 to 6 p .m. Eastern Time at ironshopandzionradio .com.

James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries here. If you've watched my Dividing Line webcast often enough, you know I have a great love for getting Bibles and other documents vital to my ministry rebound to preserve and ensure their longevity.

And besides that, they feel so good. I'm so delighted I discovered Post Tenebrous Lux Bible rebinding. No radio ad will be long enough to sing their praises sufficiently, but I'll give it a shot. Jeffrey Rice of Post Tenebrous Lux is a remarkably gifted craftsman and artisan.

All his work is done by hand, from the cutting, to the pleating of corners, to the perimeter stitching. Jeffrey uses the finest and buttery soft imported leathers in a wide variety of gorgeous colors, like the turquoise goat skin tanned in Italy used for my Nestle All in 28th edition, with a navy blue goat skin inside liner, and the electric blue goat skin from a French tannery used to rebind a Reformation Study Bible I used as a gift.

The silver gilding he added on the page edges has a stunning mirror finish resembling highly polished chrome. Jeffrey will customize your rebinding to your specifications, and even emboss your logo into the leather, making whatever he rebinds a one-of-a-kind work of art.

For more details on Post Tenebrous Lux Bible rebinding, go to ptlbiblerebinding .com. That's.

Baptist Seminary. I'm thrilled to introduce to you a church where I've been invited to speak and have grown to love, Hope Reform Baptist Church in Coram, Long Island, New York, pastored by Rich Jansen and Christopher McDowell.

It's such a joy to witness and experience fellowship with people of God like the dear saints at Hope Reform Baptist Church in Coram, who have an intensely passionate desire to continue digging deeper and deeper into the unfathomable riches of Christ in his holy word, and to enthusiastically proclaim Christ Jesus the King and his doctrines of sovereign grace in Suffolk County, Long Island, and beyond.

I hope you also have the privilege of discovering this precious congregation and receive the blessing of being showered by their love, as I have. For more information on Hope Reform Baptist Church, go to hopereformedli .net.

Iron Sharpens Iron Radio first launched in 2005. The publishers of the New American Standard Bible were among my very first sponsors. It gives me joy knowing that many scholars and pastors in the Iron Sharpens Iron Radio audience have been sticking with or switching to the NASB.

I'm Pastor Nate Pikowitz of Harvest Bible Church in Gilmanton Ironworks, New Hampshire, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Pastor Rich Jensen of Hope Reform Baptist Church in.

Consider restocking your pews with the NASB and tell the publishers you heard about them from Chris Arnzen on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Go to nasbible .com. That's nasbible .com to place.

Today and always. Was your business shut down during the COVID -19 pandemic, depriving you of.

Earning any money, causing you to default on your rent as you try to survive without income? Maybe you've had to close your doors for good. The good news, you thought, was that you purchased business interruption insurance as a part of your business liability policy with a major insurance company who told you they are a good neighbor or that you would be in good hands.

You filed a claim only to be told that it was denied due to the pandemic exclusion clause. The pandemic exclusion? Since 2006, most insurance companies added this clause to enable them to deny your income loss claims in the event of a worldwide pandemic.

Do not give up. No matter what state you live in, call Buttafuoco Associates now at 1 -800 -669 -4878. Buttafuoco Associates is a part of a large multi-district litigation, and they are working with lead counsel to bring what they believe will be a successful lawsuit for these claims.

It is the best way for you to proceed. There's absolutely no risk to you. You do not have to pay them out of pocket, and there is no fee unless you recover on your claim. You need to call 1 -800 -669 -4878 right now.

Trust the law firm where the attorneys at one of the largest business firms on Long Island, New York, are sending their own clients for representation during this lawsuit. Buttafuoco Associates, here to help business owners rebuild their lives in the wake.

Of the pandemic. Call 1 -800 -669 -4878. Welcome back. This is Chris Barnson. If you just tuned.

Us in, our guest today for the entire show is Dr. Jeffrey C. Waddington, pastor of the Faith Orthodox Presbyterian Church of Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania. And he's also the vice president of the board of directors for the Reformed Forum, and articles editor for the Confessional Presbyterian Journal.

And I failed to do so at the beginning of the program, but before you delve back into Romans, Dr. Waddington, why don't you tell our listeners about the Reformed Forum?

Sure. The Reformed Forum is an online Christian education ministry outreach. And if anybody wants to find out more information, go to reformedforum .org,.

Reformedforum .org. If you could now, pick up where you left off. We were entering into Romans 1 -8 -13, picking up where we left off the last time during our first episode on Romans. So if you could pick up where you left off before the station break.

Sure. He's not afraid to commend them for an attribute, which of course says that we ought to be sober-minded and not think more highly of that, I think that he writes. That's in the context, no doubt, of prayer, reaping a harvest among the Gentiles for the last 20-so many longs for the...

In fact, that's a perfect place for us to pick up when we come back from.

The midway break. Always, folks, remember, because I don't want you to be wondering why we're taking such a long break. This is the part of the program that we allow Grace Life Radio, 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida, to take advantage of a longer break in the show so that they can abide by FCC regulations and localize Iron Trip and Zion Radio to Lake City, Florida by airing their own public service announcements and other things while we simultaneously are airing our globally heard commercials.

So please use this time wisely. Please write down as much of the information for as many of the ads that you hear as you possibly can so that you can patronize as many as you possibly can. And when it comes to an advertiser, for instance, a church, you have a good church that you're already a member of and you don't plan on changing that, and you're not going to be visiting the area of a church we advertise for a vacation, so you know you won't be contacting them or visiting them, or I should say you won't be visiting them.

But if you can contact them anyway just to thank them for sponsoring Iron Trip and Zion Radio, that may go a long way because, folks, we need our advertisers to exist. We need the financial support that they provide to exist.

We love all of you who donate to Iron Trip and Zion Radio, especially those who regularly donate, but the amount that we take in through donations could not nearly be sufficient to support this program completely, to remain on the air with all the bills that we have.

We need our advertisers to exist, so please try to keep them happy so they keep renewing their contracts and keep supporting us, and also use this time by sending us an email with your question for Dr. Jeffrey C. Waddington on the Book of Romans.

Send them to chrisarnson at gmail .com, chrisarnson at gmail .com, and always give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

Don't go away. We'll be right back with Dr. Jeffrey C. Waddington right after these messages.

From our sponsors. We are excited to announce another new member of the Iron Sharpens Iron.

Radio advertising family, Bhanu Gadi, owner of three New York pharmacies, Lee's Drugs of Floral Park, Long Beach Chemists, and Prescription Center of Long Island in Hempstead. Bhanu Gadi earned a doctorate in pharmacy degree and is very knowledgeable on the current coronavirus pandemic.

Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. My name is Bhanu Gadi. I'm a pharmacist in New York, which is the epicenter of the latest crisis the world is going through. In Psalm 139 verse 14, the psalmist offers praise to the Lord like this.

I praise you because I'm fearfully and wonderfully made and wondrous are your works that my soul knows very well. He saw God's goodness and mercy, kindness and the beauty in what God has designed and he has erupted into praise.

In any crisis or problem, brothers and sisters, our only fallback position is to trust God's design. And once we do, there is nothing for us to do but to praise to him. When the whole world is searching for a solution, God in his infinite mercy has given us what we need to address this illness, which can be very serious.

Such is the beauty of his design, knowing that design, how can we not praise to our great God like the psalmist did. May God bless you and give all of us wisdom to see greater things in his design. Thank you.

Hi, this is John Sampson, pastor of King's Church in Peoria, Arizona, taking a moment of your day to talk about Chris Arnson and the Iron Sharpens Iron podcast. I consider Chris a true friend and a man of high integrity.

He's a skilled interviewer who's not afraid to ask the big, penetrating questions. While always defending the key doctrines of the Christian faith, I've always been happy to point people to this podcast, knowing it's one of the very few safe places on the internet where folk won't be led astray.

I believe this podcast needs to be heard far and wide. This is a day of great spiritual compromise, and yet God has raised Chris up for just such a time. And knowing this, it's up to us as members of the body of Christ to stand with such a ministry in prayer and in finances.

I'm pleased to do so, and would like to ask you to prayerfully consider joining me in supporting Iron Sharpens Iron financially. Would you consider sending either a one-time gift or even becoming a regular monthly partner with this ministry?

I know it would be a huge encouragement to Chris if you would. All the details can be found at ironsharpensironradio .com, where you can click support. That's ironsharpensironradio .com.
