April 10, 2020 Show with Joe Jacowitz on “The Coronavirus Pandemic & Fear”

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 iron sharpens iron Radio

.com.

This is Chris Arnzen your host of iron sharpens iron radio wishing you all a happy Friday on

this 10th day of April 2020 and of course, this is the

day That is observed By millions of Christians

throughout the globe as Good Friday.

And the reason I'm sure pastor Jackowitz will echo the reason why?

such and an such a an absolutely horrifying and

grotesque event such a brutal And such a

satanic event.

And I'm speaking of the murder the the murder of the only truly innocent Human

that has ever walked the face of the earth Jesus Christ who was fully man and fully

God.

The reason why we call that Good Friday is because that was the way The

only way that his people could be purchased From this world and

forgiven of their sins and spend an eternity with him.

That's that is why it is.

So very very good but Dare, I say a phrase that sounds

like an oxymoron, but happy Good Friday.

Good

Friday to

you too, Chris.

It is

and today we have.

I didn't even come to the point where I fully.

Introduced my guest today.

He is pastor Joe Jackowitz of Christ Bible Church in Pleasanton, California founder of first

love radio first love missions and first love publications and this is our

Current edition of the coronavirus updates that we have been airing every Friday with

pastor Joe.

This is part 5 and The specific theme of

today's coronavirus update is the coronavirus pandemic and fear and

If you would like to send in a question about the coronavirus especially

from a Christian and biblical standpoint, but also Joe does have

Actual statistics and updates That he gathers every day which obviously changed

rapidly, but he gathers them very shortly before the program So they're as fresh as possible but our email address

is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com chris ar n z n at gmail .com.

And give us your first name at least your city and state and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

And pastor Joe before we move into the topic As always if you could

Either tell our new listeners for the first time or refresh the memories of those who have heard you on

the show about who the the brethren and and the these the

sistren At at Christ Bible Church in Pleasanton, California

are Are you trying to coin a new phrase?

Yes.

I I figured in this politically correct age we live in I better throw in a cistern.

In a Christ area

once we resume for church home.

Great.

And before we enter into the most important aspect of our discussion, which is

the biblical response the truly Christian response

to this Pandemic that we are experiencing.

Why don't you give us some of the updates that you provide every week.

Well

the

latest

stats,

so

that's

what's

had.

2001

repart.

We live stream our worship services

like most of the churches do and if

you're

interested

will

urge

and

then

the

indifference

thing

to

talk

about

but

it's.

Now.

Yeah, there is a very encouraging passage of Scripture

one of the most encouraging passages.

That is in 2nd Timothy chapter 1 verse 7 for God hath not given us

the spirit of fear But of power and of love and of a sound mind.

And if you could apply that to the theme today coronavirus pandemic and fear.

Well,

there

are

mr.

Take

our

eyes

off

of

God

opens

the

door.

No

one

thing.

I just want to say to interject quickly, but sorry if I Interrupted you there on a

on a roll, but This is one of those areas where

scoffers liberals anti -christians those who some of whom many of

whom profess to be Christian, but denounced the Bible as not being inerrant as being a

book filled with some moral Lessons that we can learn from and many of the

things that we should ignore.

So for those folks who will point out an Apparent and I stress the word

apparent contradiction because it's not a real contradiction but there is

a fear that we are commanded to have a fear first and foremost of God and a

fear of hell.

Obviously those who are born again Need not any longer walk around with a constant

fear of hell before them but Fear is the beginning the fear of God is the beginning of

wisdom.

And so this is a different kind of fear than the scriptures are.

Denouncing.

Yes, we're

not to be

in terror

of him if

we are if

we are born again.

Those who are not born again should be in terror of him, correct.

It's

not

a

dreadful

fear

of

God

in

our

hearts

to

today.

That generally

sir coming on

the earth

for the man coming

in a cloud.

Because lawless down the

love of

many

will grow cold.

And then

in fact.

Oh, this is a perfect time for us to go to our first commercial break.

Friday's 1 p .m. Pacific 4 p .m Eastern to hear what the Bible has to say

about Pandemics and how we should respond

as host of iron sharpens iron radio.

I frequently get requests from listeners for church recommendations.

A church I've been strongly recommending as far back as the 1980s is Grace Covenant Baptist Church in

Flemington, New Jersey pastored by Alan Dunn.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church believes it's God's prerogative to determine how he shall be worshiped and how he

shall be represented in the world.

They believe churches need to turn to the Bible to discover what to include in worship and how to worship

God in spirit and truth.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church endeavors to maintain a God -centered focus.

Reading preaching and hearing the Word of God singing psalms hymns and spiritual songs.

Baptism and communion are the scriptural elements of their corporate worship performed with faith joy

and sobriety.

James White of Alpha 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 goatskin Tanned in Italy used to my Nestle all in 28th edition with a navy

blue goatskin Inside liner and the electric blue goatskin 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.

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 pickowitz 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 Quorum, New York and the NASB is my

Bible of choice.

I'm pastor Suley Prince of Oakwood Wesleyan Church in Toronto, Ontario Canada and the

NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm pastor John Samson of Kings Church in Peoria, Arizona, and the NASB is my Bible

of choice.

I'm pastor Chuck Volo of New Life Community Church in Kingsville, Maryland, and the NASB

is my Bible of choice.

I'm pastor Steve Herford of Eastport Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida and the NASB is

my Bible of choice.

I'm pastor Roy Owens jr. Of the church and friendship in Hockley, Texas and the NASB is

my Bible of choice.

Here's a great way for your church to help keep iron sharpens iron radio on the air.

Pastors are your pew Bibles tattered and falling apart?

Consider restocking your pews with the NASB and tell the publishers you heard about them.

Chris Arnson on iron sharpens iron radio go to NAS Bible comm.

That's NAS Bible comm to place your order.

And folks, I'm urging you please to really seriously consider that advice in that ad

if you have any authority or are involved in the decision -making on

Replacing the pew Bibles in your church or just tell your

your elders your your pastors your deacons whoever is involved in The

final decision -making on that please tell them to consider replacing all

the Bible Pew the pew Bibles I should say with the NASB

that's going to help us in a big way because the publishers of the new American Standard Bible have been

a key supporter a primary supporter financially of this show ever since we first launched in 2005 and

even before that they were sponsoring all of my

Activities in regard to the public live moderated debates that I

organize.

Going back to 1995 the first one with dr. James R. White of Alpha and Omega Ministries and those

debates with Roman Catholic Apologists that dr. White had lasted a decade on Long Island.

And of course, there were others with Muslims and liberals and homosexuals and

cult members and so on.

And the publishers of the NASB have been behind me supporting me the whole time.

So please.

It's a fine trustworthy translation.

Even if there there's nothing wrong physically with the Bibles in your pews.

Why not update to a better translation By replacing them with the NASB and go to

NAS Bible comm and AS Bible comm always remember to tell them that you heard About them from Chris Arnson

an iron sharpens iron radio.

We are now back with Joe Jackowitz with the fifth installment of our coronavirus

updates and today we are Focusing on the subject of fear if you could pick up where you left off pastor Joe.

Well,

I

could

have

thought

somebody

says.

Billion

dollars

of

their

government's.

Listening right now to this program.

You are sheltered in place like me.

Well, I mean I do go outside to order coffee and I order food and so on.

Janice

but God promises

to

meet

our needs

not our

wants.

What

about

the

future

by the

way?

We have to stop right there.

Nothing shall separate us from the love of God.

Because I didn't even realize that we have to go to our midway break.

This is the longer the normal break folks.

So please be patient with us.

This is where a grace life radio 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida has to air their

public service announcements in the middle of our show.

So that they can localize iron sharpens iron radio to Lake City, Florida while they do that.

Joe Jack wits at Chris Arnson at gmail .com.

otherwise faith insulting material promoted by the secular book vendors.

Make sure you tell them you heard about CVB BS calm from Chris Arnson on iron sharpens iron

radio before I return to our guest Joe Jackowitz with our fifth

installment of our coronavirus updates and biblical Applications to

this crisis.

I just wanted to remind you of a couple of important things.

First of all, we are still intending to have our next

Free spring iron sharpens iron radio pastors launching.

Unless we hear otherwise that the bans on public gatherings have been continued.

So we have not heard that it will extend that far into the future.

It's not that far in the future, but it's farther than they expected to have bans on public gatherings.

It's Friday, May 29th 11 a .m. To 2 p .m. Right here in Carlisle, Pennsylvania at the

Bon Giorno Conference Center in Carlisle.

This is the first time we are having the privilege of using the facilities of the Bon Giorno

Conference Center.

And not only will you be fed a fantastic sumptuous lunch for free at the Bon

Giorno Conference Center.

And not only will you be able to hear our guest speaker who is The most powerful

preacher alive on the planet Earth Earth as far as I'm concerned.

Dr Conrad and Bayway of Kibwata Baptist Church of Lusaka Zambia Africa.

But you'll also be getting a heavy sack of books for free that have been donated

by major Christian publishers all over the United States in the United Kingdom that I have personally selected and

That is all for free and this is a tradition that started with my

late wife Julie in the 1990s and We have continued

this tradition all the way up through the time that she sadly

passed away and but now joyfully is An eternity with Christ

and then after I relocated to Pennsylvania from New York.

I relaunched those luncheons in her honor and tribute and memory in

2015 and have been running them now twice a year In the winter and the spring

and so I hope that you can come.

It's Thursday.

I'm sorry.

It's Thursday Friday, May 29th 11 a .m. To 2 p .m.

I said Thursday because we usually have them on Thursdays, but dr Conrad and Bayway can only make it on

Friday as the speaker.

So we switched the day for this special occasion and So send me an

email to Chris Arnson at gmail .com.

Excuse me Chris Arnson at gmail .com and put luncheon and the subject line and you'll be

registered for free.

Even if you are very pessimistic that there will be public gatherings by May 29th we

Urge you to send in an email Registration anyway, because this way you'll be on the list if indeed we

are forced to change the date.

So send me that email to Chris Arnson at gmail .com and put luncheon or pastor's luncheon in the subject

line.

This is for men and ministry leadership only pastors elders deacons parachurch leaders,

etc.

Men and ministry leadership.

We look forward to hearing from you via email and we look forward to seeing you Friday, May 29th 11 a .m. To 2 p .m.

At the Bon Giorno Conference Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

And now is that uncomfortable time when I have to begin begging you for money?

I hate to do it.

I Especially hate to do it because there are so many charlatans out there.

False preachers and teachers that do it on a regular basis.

Unlike them or unlike many of them.

I am NOT going to promise anything miraculous to occur in your life.

I'm not going to promise that you will become richer or healthier or anything else

for that matter other than a Blessing from God that only he can determine but he

does reward those who are faithful to him and who are benevolent to others.

I'm sorry.

I had to cut you off in the middle Joe, but we actually went even beyond Where we were supposed to I was I lost track of

time.

But if you could pick up where you left off.

No problem.

We're

talking

about

second

talking

about

three

and

it

has

consist

stumble

and

fear.

Ungodly fear sinful fear is a real problem with you.

Well, the scripture is very clear The Lord Jesus Christ is on his throne of grace his

throne who calls upon him in truth and in sincerity.

And he

wants you

to take your needs

and your

struggles

and your

problems

and your

sins

even than

the set.

What

is

our

life

in there

five children

or

double

financially

as well?

Amen.

And by the way, we do have a listener if you want to take a pause unless you want to finish your statement.

No, I have.

I have a few more things down here by way of remedies and apples.

We have an anonymous listener who says in very.

Good segue.

Since you were just mentioning your children the anonymous listener says how do we hide

our fear from our children during this time of great anxiety and Fear

over the unknown.

I know that I am NOT supposed to fear as does my spouse, but we still do we

are sinners after all.

And When I say hide our fear from our children I am NOT speaking about lying to them

and telling them that we're not afraid.

But I'm just talking about in the way that we behave in our demeanor.

Sometimes it is uncontrollable to visually express my fear and

Also, what other ways do you counsel we reach out to our children to put them at ease when

it comes to the panic And the crisis that they see daily nearly all day long in the media.

Well,

I

would

say

thing

that

that

will

produce

you.

Mentioned a verse which has become very near and dear to me.

Isaiah 26 verse 3 You meaning God will keep him in

perfect.

Peace whose mind is stayed on you.

Because he trusts in you meaning God.

And the reason why that Verse is etched in my mind as I have two very dear friends

Jerry and Fern Hill.

Who many years ago founded the Timothy Hill Children's Ranch?

Named after their young son Timothy who in the Either late 60s or

early 70s.

I can't remember right now.

It was killed tragically When he was riding his bicycle to school.

He was hit by a truck and Timothy a bit of a project prodigy.

Wanted to one day start a home For homeless children that was based

on farmland a ranch where the where the children could work with farm animals and ride horses and so

on.

And After Timothy was killed Jerry and Fern Hill made that dream of Timothy's a reality and it

still exists today.

The Timothy Hill Children's Ranch but that was.

What?

Specifically Fern Hill.

That was the verse the primary verse That kept her from losing a heart losing

sanity and losing faith after the tragic death of her son.

We have another Listener who is also anonymous.

During this time of isolation I understand that domestic violence is on the rise.

Should not churches be more prepared to provide housing for one of those

spouses.

Either the guilty party who is an abuser or the victim where this person can

stay.

Until things are worked out through biblical counsel

be wise.
