March 10, 2022 Show with Paul Abbott on “Rescuing Lost Souls from Damnation & the Lives of Infants from the Slaughter Mill in Reynosa, Mexico”

Iron Sharpens Iron Radio Opens With Proverbs 27:17 and the Guest Introduction

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 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 a 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 Thursday on this 10th day of March 2022.

And I ask of you folks to immediately mark down on your calendars tomorrow, Friday, March 11th, we are having a return visit from Mykola Leliovsky live in Ukraine. He will be speaking to us live from Kyiv, Ukraine.

He is a seminary professor at Grace Bible Seminary in Kyiv, and he's also on the leadership team at Grace Bible Church of Kyiv, and we are going to get an update from him, especially since his hometown of Irpin has been nearly obliterated by Russian airstrikes.

Thankfully, our dear brother is alive and well still. Hopefully, that will remain to be the case, but we are going to have him on tomorrow, 4 to 6 p .m. Eastern, here on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio for an update.

So mark your calendars and tell your friends and loved ones. Today we have a guest I'm excited to interview. He comes by the highest recommendation of a very dear friend of mine whose opinion I highly value.

That is Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III, well-known in reform circles as an author and a pastor at Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia, and he told me that I've got to get Paul Abbott on the program, who is a Reformed Baptist evangelist and founder of Our Goodly Heritage Ministries.

Today we're going to be addressing Rescuing Lost Souls from Damnation and the Lives of Infants from the Slaughter Mill in Reynosa, Mexico, near the McAllen, Texas border. It's my honor and privilege to welcome you for the very first time ever to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Paul Abbott.

Good afternoon.

It's great to have you on, brother, and tell us about Our Goodly Heritage.

Everyone that works on what the Bible says.

Well, I want to give our listeners your website, and hopefully I'll remember to repeat it later as well, but it's OurGoodlyHeritage .com, and that's goodly, not godly, although it is godly. It's OurGoodlyHeritage .com.

While I'm at it, I'd like to give you the website of my dear friend, Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III, who, as I said just moments ago, pastors Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia. That's HeritagePresbyterianChurch .com, HeritagePresbyterianChurch .com, and I look forward to my next visit from Dr. Moorcraft on this program as well.

Paul Abbott's Salvation Testimony and Early Religious Background

Well, we have a custom here, a tradition, on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio whenever we have a first-time guest, we have that guest give a summary of their salvation testimony. That would include the upbringing that they had, something about the religious atmosphere, if any, in their upbringing, and what kind of providential circumstances our sovereign Lord raised up in their lives that drew them to himself and saved them.

And we'd like to hear your story. And by the way, I'd like to just add, because there were a couple of moments when you seemed to drift away from your phone or your microphone, please make sure your mouth is near the mouthpiece of whatever you're using at all times because there were considerable dips in your volume for a couple of times when you were just speaking.

So just keep that in mind, brother. All right.

As the Lord would have it, I was actually adopted from birth. I was able to reconnect yet, but she knows that I exist. The Lord had me adopted into a home in southern 68, so a generation appeared in a different type of home than my playmates and my friends being much younger and a different mindset.

So the Lord, again, had me in a home that was stable. My parents were married until they were 50 years. And I grew up, oddly enough, and what that did for me, it made sense. They did not have the gospel.

They also used a Bible. They did use the Bible, even though their doctrine was wrong. And so that kept me going a certain way. I was pretty dedicated to that until I went to high school. I ended up in.

I had a very, and they kept me. I did not know much about the gospel. I had made an eighth grade, actually, and a seventh grade. Very little. On that day, I understand that there was some very vast biblical differences and that I was indeed being taught things that were not in script.

Some of the church leaders and my family, and for the first year, I was tracked down by many families. They had been at this university. In fact, you mentioned Dr. Morecraft. I'll just throw this in there.

If you are any type of a preacher, pastor, missionary, evangelist, the first question he'll ask you is, tell me about your call to preach. I was on a gospel ride, a Baptist ride. So to generate, I believe, the Lord finally.

And I was in. He does say the goodness of God leads me to repentance. He taught doctrines, and right at the moment when he saved me, all made sense with that.

Well, praise God for that. It takes some folks years of grappling before those precious doctrines sink in by God's grace and mercy and are lovingly embraced. It didn't take me years. I became a believer, and I had an Arminian mindset, although I didn't even know what an Arminian or a Calvinist was.

But within a month of being born again, after fighting what I was hearing under the label Calvinism, I finally came to wave the white flag and embrace those wonderful teachings. First, reluctantly and unhappily acknowledging that they were true, but I was nonetheless not happy about that.

But then, I would say in about a month, I just fell in love with those precious teachings, largely due to somebody giving me, of course, God using this, because it is God who saves. But somebody, a dear friend, gave me George Whitfield's Letter to John Wesley and Election, a Chapel Library publication, and I read that, and the Lord really opened my eyes to those glorious truths known as the doctrines of sovereign grace and Reformed theology and Calvinism.

Yes, absolutely, and I would say the same with me, is that not just studying Calvinism, but the more I studied the arguments against it, I could not find enough logic and enough Bible to back up their claims, and so I began to study further, and it was like you, I got to the place where I had to surrender, and I had many influences coming from different directions, different ministries, and finally, I believe, if there was a book that finally put me over the edge, it would have been A .W. Fink's The Sovereignty of God.

Yes.

It didn't take much of the book at all. I knew, while I was reading the beginning of the book, I knew I already agreed with him. I pretended not to agree with him, but I could still read the book and be mad about it, but it is a great surrender, and it changes everything about the ministry.

We have spent thousands of hours putting all the vertidology, and all the while not understanding that salvation is of the Lord. And that takes everything off of us. Yes, we're to be obedient. Yes, we are.

When we come to a place...

Amen. And just to clarify something about my own coming to understand and embrace Reformed theology, it was not George Whitefield that convinced me. It was George Whitefield's biblical evidence. He had so much scripture to overcome John Wesley's objections that it was used of God to convince me.

And a lot of anti-Calvinists will say that the Bible would never convince anyone of the doctrines of grace, and that it can only come through some deceitful man using his own words and so on. Well, I didn't even know at that time who George Whitefield was.

The booklet I was reading, I didn't know who Whitefield was. I didn't know who John Wesley was. I didn't know who John Calvin was, and I didn't know who Charles Spurgeon was. But it was the biblical evidence that Whitefield used that made me bow the knee to the truths, and as I said, instinctively, it was something that shocked me and depressed me, acknowledging that it was true.

But then I fell in love with him. Head over heels.

Well, yes. And so when I've helped some other pastors, and the Lord's allowed this to happen, it's just a blessing. But when I've been able to help younger men with this doctrine, with the terminology, when you understand...

That's the very first thing I tell them. And then I tell them, go back, start reading the scriptures. You start looking at who does the choosing. Finding out who's the worst cause. Who's creating the event?

Many times now, and suddenly you begin to read for someone else.

In fact, I know two pastors who came to the doctrines of grace through reading A .W. Pink's book, and they both had, as a part of their testimony, that when they were midway through The Sovereignty of God by A .W. Pink, they threw the book across the room, and then curiosity later got the better of them, and they crawled underneath their beds to retrieve the book and finish it.

It was like two different people had the same story. And they finally surrendered to the truth that is in there. And what glorious truths...

I was going to say, when you have Dr. Moorcraft on next time, ask him about A .W. Pink, because he is another one that that book also put him over the top.

Oh, really?

Yeah, for some reason I don't recall that as a part of his story, but I'm looking forward to having him remind us of that. Yeah, that's great news. I really appreciate how Dr. Moorcraft, although being a staunch Presbyterian, has a great love for us Reformed Baptists, and even has you fill his pulpit on occasion, does he not?

Oh, yes, I've been teaching him to come and preach.

Why Reynosa, Mexico Burdened Paul Abbott for Evangelism

Well, he said that I must have you on to discuss the recent events that in fact Heritage Presbyterian Church of Cumming, Georgia actually helped to fund this event, where you went to Reynosa, Mexico, just near the McAllen, Texas border to evangelize.

And tell us about why, first of all, you had a heart burdened to reach those folks there in Reynosa.

Well, let me tell you, I came home from the airport, I'd been preaching or been out of town, and I got a phone call that evening from Dr. Moorcraft. We do speak regularly, but it was an odd time for him to be calling, and I just had a feeling he had something he wanted to talk about.

And he asked me what I knew for migrant situation on the Mexican-American borders, whether that would be Metamoros, Reynosa, Juarez, Tijuana. He wanted to know if I knew something about that, I said I did.

He asked me if I spoke Spanish, and I said no, I don't. Just a few words, but nothing usable. And he said, I'm burdened. And with tears, he said, I'm burdened for the thousands of souls that are mounted up there that need to hear the gospel.

In his words, a little bit, not so complimentary, I guess, but he said, when I think of sending someone there with the gospel, he thought of me, is what he said. And he wanted to know if I would go and bring the gospel to that place.

And so the very first thing I told him was, Dr. Moorcraft, I said, this is actually an answer to prayer. I said, over 20 years ago, I had thought about these things, and I thought, wouldn't it be nice if we had a team that was sort of on the ready, that within 30 days, if we needed to mobilize, because you have a captive audience.

You have people there that aren't distracted by the Internet and by television and all these different things. And I thought, wouldn't that be amazing to go in there with a situation, how easy it would be to be able to go to the border, that type of thing.

And that's all I really needed to know. I talked to my family about it. I called my very good friend to bring along. We had to have men. We had to have men. Kidnapping was not fearful. So Pastor Graves and I, his son, my son, immediately, the very next day, and I said, we are ready to go.

He said, danger and all that. That's what's all said and done. Our plan is to bring the Gospel. And so we initially thought we were going to go to Metamoros, but things in Mexico moved very quickly, and many of the camps had made good contact, and I was able to engage Alfonso, a wonderful man in Mexico.

He was ordained at Christ the King. We contacted him. It was amazing that he immediately thought this was a great idea, bringing the Gospel to the camps, whatever camps we could find, and just spend as much time as we believed that without working out there, because of the danger for that, immediately he knew he would be our interpreter in the library there in Pensacola, Florida.

They gave us thousands of tracks. I handpicked the tracks. I went through the tracks specifically looking for information from them. So we had portable speakers, sound systems, amplifiers. Everything we needed.

We had a restating we didn't have to worry about. There's an Airbnb over the border. So we had that. So we planned on going for one week. Bon Bonda is McCallum, much behind his needs. So we met on the Monday night of the 26th of Mexico every morning.

I had my son, Paul, read us a psalm of victory. Take Mexico or anywhere else, that they'll be put under his feet, and that we had promises of prayer with that daily at that camp. There we had, when we got there, the water was, we've been there almost a year.

There were several hundred baggies that Pastor Graves' church has assembled. You give out those bags, and you see half a dozen people. So they understood that we didn't need anything from them. We came to bring them something.

During the week, as the weather got cold, in blankets, Chris, you'd have thought we were giving them diamond rings. The blankets.

Wow.

I worked with homeless for years. And get simple items if they need them in the different churches and the different programs. But in these places, there is almost no relief. So whether it's just something like a blanket or the socks, it was just amazing.

Just add it to their pile for the most part. These are things that they needed. And so we were able to bring that to them and some individuals. We even make a little bit of friends on Facebook with some.

Some of these stories, I'll just tell you, some of these represent so much of what goes on. There is a family there, right now I'm thinking of, that they live in El Salvador. Now they're in this camp with nothing.

We became friends on Facebook, and I saw their life on Facebook. I could see how they lived. They had cars. They had houses. They had a life in El Salvador. And I asked them, I said, why are you here?

And they told me the story, and I watched all the family members as the man told me the story by way of interpreter, and I could see by the looks on the family they were reliving this story. And the story goes something like this.

This man was a professional clown in El Salvador. As funny as that is, but he was. He was a professional clown. When COVID came, it shut his clown business down. They couldn't have parties. You couldn't have.

They started a restaurant-type business there in El Salvador, and it got very successful right away. And the cartel, I don't know if they paid them any money, and the cartel wanted their money. So this man was kidnapped by the cartel, which is a story we've heard many times now.

He was kidnapped for seven days. I've met his family. There's several different children and grown children.

Brother, are you there? You keep ducking away.

Yeah, I'm sorry. They told him, and they go to a certain school, and they told him the name of the school. They told him the name of the girls, and they said, if you don't pay us the money, we're going to bring them here and abuse them and kill them right here in front of you.

So they let him go after seven days, and he and his wife went out, began to sell most everything they had, and they gave money to the cartel, enough where they'd leave them alone. And then they took the rest that they had, and they fled for their life.

And they left El Salvador. So I asked them, well, why don't you go back to El Salvador? And they said, we can't go back. We go back. The cartel runs everything. They are all over the country. They said we fear for our life.

And so we're trying to tell our story and go into Houston, Texas, and start a new life there, start a business there, and work, and very much people of integrity and people that have ambition. And so that's their story, and there's many others that have stories.

Now, while we were in Reynosa, while we were preaching and witnessing in all these different places, we also went to a shopping area every evening or late afternoon. People could walk by just a short amount of time and do not even stay there and just preach.

In fact, can you pick up on the shopping center when we come back from our first break?

We'll do it.

Evangelism in Reynosa's Camps, Shopping Areas, and the Abortion Mill

Welcome back. This is Chris Arnzen. If you just tuned us in, our guest for the entire two hours today is Paul Abbott, a Reformed Baptist evangelist and founder of Our Goodly Heritage. We are discussing Rescuing Lost Souls from Damnation and the Lives of Infants from the Slaughter Mill in Reynosa, Mexico near the McAllen, Texas border.

And if you have a question, send it to chrisarnzen at gmail .com. Chrisarnzen at gmail .com. Give us your first name at least, city and state of residence, and country of residence. Only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter.

And right before the break, you were talking about a more populated area where you were going to be doing some evangelism. Yes.

So in Reynosa, let me just clarify. I didn't make a misstep here earlier. The church in Reynosa, Iglesia del Rey in Reynosa, which is in McAllen, in fact, I heard I heard Gary DeMar's name mentioned in the commercial, and Gary DeMar just spoke recently there at the Church of the Most High in McAllen.

So they have some connections there. So Reynosa has, besides these strip malls, hundreds of people walk through there, and usually about a thousand people will get there within, I don't know, 30 minutes, perhaps an hour.

There'll be a lot of people that go back and forth through that shopping area. It's very long. I'm not sure how long the shopping area is. It might be a sixth of a mile. I'm not sure, but very long. And so we walked through there and took segment by segment.

Every time we got to like an alley or a little driveway, we'd stop and preach. And people took our, is because they took our literature, they wanted the tracts, they stopped their cars to get the literature from us.

And someone told me they, they, it could be one reason is because they sense that the Charismatics and the Roman Catholics want something from them. We wanted nothing. We just wanted to be able to give them the gospel.

We wanted to be able to give the folks at the camp some type of relief. And in the shopping area, we were there several times. And finally on the very last day, before Sunday, the very last day that we were able to minister, our wonderful, and did not go on, he was about spent, and so I said, well, let's go back to the shopping area and we'll pass out some more literature because again, there's hundreds and hundreds of people walking by.

And then when we got there, I suited up, ready to preach. And I told him, I said, don't worry about the interpreter. And so that's what we did in Sicily. And there are some people that understand English because they stopped and told us, does this man know he's preaching in English?

We said, yes, he does. So we went in to preach anyway and got to finish out our time there. There were other, but by permission, when we got back to the large camp where we had been ministering, the truck pulled off and went a different direction.

Now, I don't know what they were looking for. We had California plates. Perhaps they thought we were a rival gang or maybe fed or something like that. But that's the only real connection we had with the cartel.

The police did not give us any problems at all. But to show you what happens when the gospel comes, things had been pretty quiet in Rinosa for about, but after we got there and began to minister, every night it seems like something happened.

One night we were told, it was reported to us, that 10 people were killed in Rinosa. We were also told that two different law enforcement men or the perhaps National Guardsmen were kidnapped to the camp one morning.

They showed the casing. We never got to be subjected to that, but there was much violence going on, even as much as a small little town outside of Rinosa, where it was reported to us that the cartel set large trailers on fire to the town.

So just amazing violence and lawlessness that happens there. Of course, you see SWAT teams driving around and that type of thing. But the gospel was not deterred in any way. The Lord protected us. We were bathed and prayed in the country for this trip, that we would have discernment on the ground, that we would make good decisions on the fly.

We told our team, we said, if you have an idea or if you have a trepidation about something, please share it. Just tell us the idea or tell us what you're thinking just in case. We don't want to make a mistake.

So people had the freedom to do that. And again, we had people, we got to give the gospel to them. As an aside to that, Chris, in McAllen, Texas, there is an abortion mill there. The mill that's there in McAllen is a part of a network of other mills in Texas.

Because of some of the... and caused great confusion because the only way to stop murder is to outlaw murder.

Right.

Abortion mill and they will give you a free... We knew that the camps would be... We went to the abortion mill and preached outside the abortion mill, sang outside the abortion... We sang all week. We sang at the camp.

We sang at the abortion... We bring our psalters and we sing the psalms. And so we were able to minister at the abortion mill as well. And then of course we got to do that. Now that Sunday in Reynosa, Pastor Alban Banda again go and minister the psalms to his people there at the Iglesia del Rey in Reynosa to be able to preach the gospel to his congregation there.

And then finally we said our goodbyes on the 27th of February and then the next day...

Evangelism, Illegal Immigration, and Christian Compassion

Well, we have to go to our midway break right now. Grace Life Radio in Lake City, Florida requires of us a longer break because they are required by the FCC to localize Iron Sharpens Iron Radio geographically to Lake City, Florida through their public service announcements and other local things that they air.

And while they do that we air our globally heard commercials. So please use this time wisely not only write down questions for Paul Abbott of our goodly heritage but also write down as much of the information from our advertisers as you can so that you can more frequently and successfully respond to our advertisers.

Even if you can't purchase anything that they are selling or use their services or visit their churches or support their parachurch organizations even when you can't do those things please at the very least if you love this show respond to our advertisers and say thank you for sponsoring Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

That will go a long way to keep our advertisers happy knowing that they are doing something that is blessing the hearts, minds and souls of many people. And we rely 100 on our advertisers and our benefactors to exist other than of course the grace of God.

But so therefore if you really love this show please thank our advertisers so that they will even want to continue to advertise and send in those emails to Paul Abbott to chrisarnson at gmail .com chrisarnson at gmail .com we'll be right back after these messages don't go away.
