November 21, 2019 Show with Geoff Thomas on “Brownlow North: The All-Around Evangelist”

Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown

Carwile, 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 .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 Thursday on this 21st day

of November 2019.

And I am absolutely thrilled, and that's an understatement, because for the next two

days, today and tomorrow, we have on the program Jeff Thomas.

Reverend Jeff Thomas is one of my favorite guests to interview and he's also one of my favorite preachers and

authors.

He, beginning in 1965, served for over 50 years as

pastor of Alfred Place Baptist Church of Aberystwyth, Wales, and

today we are going to be discussing one of his latest books, Brownlow North, The

All -Around Evangelist, and then tomorrow we're going to be discussing How Can I Please God in

Everything, another book that has been recently brought into print, both books published by Reformation

Heritage Books, the wonderful publishing ministry founded by Dr. Joel Beeke of Puritan Reform

Theological Seminary.

We're also going to be announcing Sermon Audio's The Foundations Conference, where our

guest, Reverend Jeff Thomas, will be on the speaking roster, but it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to the

Orange Shepherds Iron Radio, Reverend Jeff Thomas.

Hi, good to speak to you again, Chris.

Oh, it is such a joy for me, and we very rarely have a guest on for two days in a row,

and I'm so excited that we have you, of all people, on for two days in a row.

And you have something in your resume that very few pastors can say, that

you were at a church, one single congregation for over 50 years.

Before we go on to our subject at hand, why don't you tell our listeners about Alfred Place Baptist Church of Aberystwyth, Wales,

and am I pronouncing it correctly, because I think from the way that you instructed me years ago,

Aberystwyth, I remember the way that you phonetically spelled it out, or sounded it out, I should say, and

I think I've been pronouncing it correctly, haven't I?

You're doing a great job.

Aberystwyth, and then you've got it.

It's a lovely town, it's a resort, it's a town of 20 ,000 people, 10 ,000 of

whom

are 18, 70 -ish, because it was halfway between the

north and the

south

side, we have a sister

congregation in the Welsh language, and then my congregation was—.

And I understand, if I am correct in my memory, that now that you have retired,

your grandson is now pastor in there?

He is, and in the house where we raised the three daughters, he's moved into that

house when I left three years ago, and he is now raising

the congregations.

Amen.

Well, praise God for that.

By the way, if anybody wants to investigate more about Alfred Place Baptist Church, if you

happen to either live in Aberystwyth, Wales, or you're vacationing there,

or you have family, friends, and loved ones near there, the website is alfredplacechurch .org

.uk.

That's alfredplacechurch .org .uk, and hopefully you'll remember to repeat that later on.

Well, you know, instead of stealing the thunder from a person who has already

submitted a question for you, I'm going to read a question right away from a listener because it really

helps us set up the interview.

A person who I have actually interviewed on this program, who is an author himself, Dewey Roberts,

who is the pastor of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in Destin, Florida.

In Destin.

I know him very well, my dear friend.

Oh, wow.

I didn't know that.

Okay.

Well, he asks, when you ask Jeffrey, how he became interested in writing a biography of Brownlow

North, and what is North's chief relevance to 21st century preachers.

Well,

thank

you

so much,

Dewey,.

And since Jeff Thomas thinks so highly of you, I'll also give your church a free plug here.

If you live in Destin, Florida, or plan to visit there, or have family, friends, and loved ones there, their

website is CornerstonePCADestin .org.

Cornerstone, P -C -A, for Presbyterian Church in America.

Destin, D -E -S -T -I -N .org.

Thanks a lot, Dewey, and we look forward to not only having you return as a guest, but also we look forward to hearing from you with questions

for other guests on Iron Trip and Zion Radio.

So, this is actually the first time I am hearing about Brownlow North

myself.

The subtitle is quite interesting.

Can you explain exactly what you mean by the all -around evangelist?

Now, can

you

tell

us, first

of all, and if you said it, please forgive me if I

missed it,.

But what era did Brownlow North live in?

And if you also could tell us from the beginning, what kind of a religious atmosphere,

if any, he was raised in, and any kind of providential circumstances you may be aware of that the Lord used

to draw him to himself and save Brownlow North.

Yes, I can

say

he was born in London.

Prime Minister, Lord North.

Did he go through with any of those proposals at that time?

In

the

diocese,

he

had to

escape

the

army

for a

while, and that was another debacle.

Years,

five

years

of

death

of

the

righteous.

And he came to her mind, so she scribbled down notes on the sermon

for

when

he

was

forced,

grieving

the

spirit.

Wow.

So that was when he

heard his prayer.

He was quiet and gentle.

By the evening at eight o 'clock, he joined the family in family worship.

He himself read a portion.

No hysteria.

He prayed then.

A rug with his mouth near the thin carpet.

Humbling himself before God.

Stopped smoking his cigars instantly.

He was addicted to nicotine.

Couldn't play billions again.

For months, he read nothing but the Bible.

Not even the newspaper.

The Crimean War was taking place.

He had no interest.

The Crimean War was taking place in his own.

Because he knew

what it

was.

The early church.

Brownlow North.

Praise God.

Now, how old was Brownlow at that time?

He was 45.

Wow, he came to faith late in life.

He was only four.

Well, I'm going to read one question for you before we go to our first break.

And by the way, I forgot to tell Dewey Roberts.

Dewey, I forgot to tell you the good news that you have won a free copy of the book that we are

discussing, Brownlow North, The All -Around Evangelist.

Compliments of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books.

So make sure we have the best mailing address that you want me to use for cvbbs

.com, Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service, to ship this book out to you at no charge to you or to us.

The question that we have right now is from Harrison in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

Harrison says, that was a deeply moving reading.

And it reminded me, and I think it should remind all of us fellow Calvinists, about the

fact that we should not shy away from biblical terms like the term

choosing life or death, etc.

Of course we know, as Reformed Christians, that only God can enable us to choose

rightly and be saved by giving us a new heart and filling us with the Holy Spirit and bringing us

to a rebirth.

But, at the same time, it seems to me that many Calvinists shy away from the words that

Brownlow North used.

Do you agree with this assessment?

I wouldn't say no.

Many do see

this day

whom he will serve.

Amen.

But as for me, I

have a commitment of the bodies of living sacrifice to

become the lungs of Christ.

Amen.

And we have to go to our first break right now.

If anyone else would like to join us, our email address is chrisarnsen at gmail .com.

C -H -R -I -S -A -R -N -Z -E -N at gmail .com.

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

And only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal or private matter.

And Harrison in Mechanicsburg, give us your full mailing address, because you have also won a free copy of Brownlow North,

the all -around evangelist by our guest today, Jeff Thomas.

Don't go away.

We will be right back after these messages from our sponsors.

This is Pastor Bill Sousa, Grace Church at Franklin, here in the beautiful state of Tennessee.

Our congregation is one of a growing number of churches who love and support Iron

Sharpens Iron radio financially.

Grace Church at Franklin is an independent, autonomous body of believers that strives

to clearly declare the whole counsel of God as revealed in Scripture through the person and work

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And of course, the end of all which we strive is the glory of God.

If you live near Franklin, Tennessee, and Franklin is just south of Nashville, maybe 10 minutes,

or you are visiting this area, or you have friends and loved ones nearby, we hope you will

join us some Lord's Day in worshiping our God and Savior.

Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions about Grace Church at Franklin.

Our website is gracechurchatfranklin .org.

That's gracechurchatfranklin .org.

This is Pastor Bill Sousa wishing you all the richest blessings of our sovereign

Lord, God, Savior, and King Jesus Christ, today and

always.

Iron Sharpens Iron Radio depends upon the financial support of fine Christian organizations to remain on the

air, like the Historical Bible Society.

The Historical Bible Society maintains a collection of Christian books, manuscripts, and Bibles of

historical significance spanning nearly a thousand years.

The mission of HBS is the preservation and public display of ancient Scripture, dissemination of

Scripture, to provide tools equipping believers in Christian apologetics with evidence for the Bible's reliability,

and to introduce Reformation literature and Christian art to a broader audience.

Since 2004, HBS has toured schools and churches throughout the Northeast United States,

reaching thousands of believers and non -believers alike who are hungry for knowledge of the Bible.

HBS's founder, Daniel P. Buttafuoco, attorney at law, is committed to sharing this collection,

along with an inspirational historical message that will captivate you and your church.

Come journey through their website, historicalbiblesociety .org.

The collection includes a complete 11th century Bible, an actual page of the Gutenberg Bible from

1455, the first book ever printed, the Geneva Bible, the 1611

King James Bible, and much, much more.

Visit historicalbiblesociety .org today.

Thank you, Daniel P. Buttafuoco, attorney at law, for your faithful support of Iron Truckin's Iron Radio.

Hi, I'm Stephan Lindblad, Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at IRBS

Theological Seminary in Mansfield, Texas.

I accepted this call to teach at the seminary because I'm firmly convinced that the people of

God in the churches of our Lord Jesus Christ need to be firmly grounded in the truth

of Holy Scripture.

I'm excited to be teaching such subjects as the nature of theology and the doctrine of Scripture,

and even the doctrine of the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Our churches and our people need to be well grounded in these truths.

Indeed, future ministers of the gospel need to understand these truths in order to proclaim them

to all of God's people.

If you want to learn more about our program, visit us online at irbsseminary .org.

When Iron Truckin's 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 Truckin's Iron Radio audience have been

sticking with or switching to the NASB.

I'm Dr. Joseph Piper, President and Professor of Systematic and Homiletical Theology at Greenville

Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Taylor, South Carolina, and the NASB is

my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Chuck White at the First Trinity Lutheran Church in Tonawanda, New York, and the NASB

is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Anthony Methenia of Christ Church in Radford, Virginia, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Jesse Miller of Damascus Road Christian Church in Gardnerville, Nevada, and the NASB

is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Bruce Bennett of Word of Truth Church in Farmingville, Long Island, New York, and the

NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Rodney Brown of Metro Bible Church in South Lake, Texas, and the NASB is

my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Jim Harrison of Red Mills Baptist Church in Mayapac Falls, New York, 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

from Chris Arnzen on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Go to nasbible .com.

That's nasbible .com to place your order.

I'm James White of Alpha Omega Ministries, and my friend Chris Arnzen and I are excited to be attending another G3 conference

together in Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday, January 16th, through Saturday, January 18th, on a theme that

is vitally important to all of us, Worship Matters.

I'll be on the speaking line -up with Eric Thomas, Joel Beeky, Paul Washer, Steve Lawson, Phil Johnson,

Tom Askell, Votie Balcom, and the world -renowned preacher, teacher, and author, John MacArthur.

A fascinating new addition to the roster is Kosti Hinn, nephew of the notorious false teacher, Benny

Hinn.

Kosti has repented of the word -faith heresies of his youth, and is now a Reformed Baptist pastor and

cessationist in California.

Come join me and Chris Arnzen at G3 2020, January 16th through the 18th, in Atlanta,

See you there.

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 worshipped, 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.

gcbcnj .squarespace .com.

That's gcbcnj .squarespace .com.

Or call them at 908 -996 -7654.

That's 908 -996 -7654.

Tell Pastor Dunn that you heard about Grace Covenant Baptist Church on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Welcome back, this is Chris Arnzen.

If you just tuned us in, our guest today for the full two hours is Jeff Thomas, who,

beginning in 1965, served for over 50 years as pastor of Alfred Place Baptist Church in Everest

with Wales.

And he is now retired from pastoral ministry, but serving God's people as an itinerant

evangelist and an author.

And I'm so glad that he has dedicated two days to be on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio today and tomorrow.

Today we are discussing his new book, a biography, Brown Law North, The All -Around Evangelist.

And tomorrow, God willing, we'll have him back to discuss How Can I Please God and Everything, two books published by

Reformation Heritage Books.

And we have a listener question, and I'm not sure if this listener

is joking when he says this.

I don't know if he knows you personally, but his name, he's actually been a guest on this program before,

his name is Brad Zell, and he is the minister of outreach at the Bible Presbyterian Church of

Charlotte, North Carolina.

And he says, Chris, please ask Brother Thomas to sing Jesus, Lover of My Soul

to my favorite tune, Aberystwyth.

Do you have any idea what he's talking about?

Do you sing this song, and do you know the melody, Aberystwyth?

It's old, and there's a pluck.

I'm very familiar with that melody, but I didn't know it was called Aberystwyth.

And I know the hymn as well.

Well, thank you, Brad, and if you give me your full mailing address, Brad, you've also won a free copy of the book that we

are discussing today, Brownlow North, The All -Around Evangelist.

And we have another question from a listener, and a very

faithful listener, and also a very generous supporter, financially, of Iron Truck and Zion Radio,

also from North Carolina.

We've got two North Carolinians in a row here.

His name is Grady, and he is from Asheboro, North Carolina.

And I have to enlarge his email, because the text is very tiny.

Okay, he says, Thanks again, Chris, for bringing Dr. Thomas back to your show.

Dr. Thomas, besides his sermons, did Reverend North have any other works published, such as

commentaries or memoirs?

Praise God.

And, by the way, Grady, make sure we have your full mailing address so we can mail you out a free copy of the book

that we are discussing, compliments of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, and also compliments of our friends at Cumberland Valley

Bible Book Service, cvbbs .com, who will be shipping it out to you at no cost to you or to Iron Truck

and Zion Radio.

We have Susan Margaret in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania,

who said, I heard you describing the rebellious life of Brownlow North before he

was saved, but I found it interesting that even while an unregenerate sinner, he still could not

tolerate blasphemy.

Can you explain that further?

Is there any other details in his life that you are aware of that would make him sensitive to

blasphemy and so opposed to it, even though he was still enslaved to the darkness of his.

Sin?

The name of

his

faith

seemed

purely

a

grace,

so

then

he would

just...

If you could, I'd like you to spend a few minutes just describing

his entrance into the ministry and where he begins evangelizing, and you were talking about how Ireland in

particular seemed to be very receptive to his messages.

Could you just speak for a few minutes uninterrupted about that?

He started off with truck, with great

hesitation, with rock, a woman,

and said,

thank you.

And the.

Policeman said, thank you.

He tied a supplier in his pocket

in

the congregation, the Free Church of Elgin, where

he was a member.

In their pool,

he would take some with

him.

The

evangelist

would wash a woman

in

the towel,

and he was

speaking every night.

One evening, two hundred people turned up in a barn

to

see a young

Scotsman

near

King's.

Amen.

And by the way, brother, I don't know if you changed anything in how you were recording, or not

recording, but whatever kind of a phone device you're using, but it's much better.

I mean, your quality and your crispness and clearness has improved, so keep doing whatever you just

did.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Well, we have to get to our midway break right now, and please be patient, folks, because this is our longer than normal break, because

Grace Life Radio, 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida, requires of us to take a longer break in

the middle of the show, which they air twice a day, by the way, in pre -recorded format.

They have to, by FCC regulations, localize Iron Trip and Zion Radio to Lake

City, Florida, so they air their own public service announcements and other local matters while we air

our globally heard commercials, so please use this time wisely.

We ask of you.

To write down the information provided by our advertisers so that you can more frequently and successfully patronize them, and

remember, folks, we need our advertisers to exist, so I know that some of you complain about the number of ads that we air,

but these are necessary in order for Iron Trip and Zion Radio to exist, so please try to patronize them as often as you

can, but also write down questions for Jeff Thomas and send them to chrisarnson at gmail .com.

Chrisarnson at gmail .com.

Don't go away, God willing, we'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors, and by the

way, send in your mailing address if you haven't already to get the free book Susan Margaret.

This is a day of great spiritual compromise, and yet God has raised Chris up for just such a time.

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'm so grateful to our Sovereign God that while manning an exhibitor's booth for Iron Sharpens Iron, a major Bible

conference, I providentially met Pastor Andrew Smith of Christ Reformed Community Church, just

south of Jacksonville, Florida, right off I -95 in St. Johns County.

Andrew is certainly the kind of pastor that is a perfect match for my radio show, and has already proven to be an

ideal guest.

Christ Reformed Community Church shares my conviction that God is both creator and sustainer of the

universe.

He rules and reigns providentially over our lives.

He directs not only the historical events of the world, but also the personal events of individuals.

I agree with Christ Reformed Community Church that the very purpose of the church is to make disciples, that we are tasked

with the responsibility to evangelize locally, nationally, and globally, and that we are to equip

the saints for the work of service.

Unlike the man -centered seeker -sensitive movement, they do not gauge the success of biblical discipleship by

how many people are in a church, but by the faithful ministry of God's Word and Gospel.

Iron Radio.

I'm Pastor Andrew Smith, and I'd like to urge you to consider joining Christ Reformed Community

Church of St. John's, Florida, in financially supporting Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio.

Gotta tell you, for my money, Chris Arnzen's radio program is just the best.

Iron.

Criticizing.

Iron.

I think that's what it's called.

This is Todd Friel of Wretched Radio and TV with Phil Johnson of Grace to You, inviting

everybody to come to the G3 conference, which has almost instantly become one of the best conferences in the

country.

And it is.

It's a great conference.

I love it.

And Chris Arnzen was there last year.

He's been there, I think, every year.

It's great to see him there.

You and I actually did some recordings in the lobby.

At that place, which is a highlight.

So tons of.

Stuff going on.

Tons of great speakers, and no matter where you are in the building, you will hear Chris Arnzen's laugh.

And that's worth the price of admission alone.

If you would like to join Phil, me, Chris, and a cavalcade of great preachers, so it should be

a cavalcade of great preachers, and me, G3conference .com

And now there's even more exciting news.

John MacArthur himself is now also on the lineup at the G3 conference, Thursday,

See you there!

I'm Dr. Tony Costa, professor of apologetics and Islam at Toronto 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 Corham, Long Island, New York, pastored by Rich Jensen 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

Corham, 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.

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.

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 for 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.

Chris Sorensen, host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio here.

I want to tell you about a man I have personally known for many years.

His name is Dan Buttafuoco.

Dan is a personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer, but not the type that typically comes to mind.

Dan cares about people and is a theologian himself.

Recently he wrote a book titled Consider the Evidence for the Bible.

Ravi Zacharias wrote the foreword.

Dan also has a master's degree in theology.

Dan handles serious injury and medical malpractice cases in all 50 states.

He represents many Christians in serious injury matters all over the country.

Dan is an exceptional trial lawyer.

He wrote the test for the National Board of Trial Advocacy.

And currently his firm has over 100 cases that have settled for 1 million dollars or more

and in approximately 10 different states.

In Illinois his lawyers had the 4th largest settlement in the state's history.

In New York his case involving a paralyzed police officer made the front page of the law journal.

If you have a serious personal injury or medical malpractice claim in any state, I recommend that you

call Dan.

Consultations are free.

There is no fee unless you win.

Dan Buttafuoco's number is 1 -800 -669 -4878.

I'm Dr. Gary Kimbrell Patrick Bethlehem Baptist Church in Laurel, Mississippi.

God tells us in James 1 -27 that pure and undefiled religion is a visit to fatherless and widows in their affliction.

In the providence of God three years ago I discovered a poor small church outside Lusaka, Zambia in a township called

Kabanana who are taking care of 24 orphans.

I found them just at the time when they had lost all their funding.

What was I to do?

Could I just say God bless you and walk away?

The situation of the children set heavily upon me.

As I was praying concerning this need it came to me, I trust from the Lord, to tell the orphans' plight to a broader audience.

The entire need for their clothing, food, education, and some medical services is $73 per month per child.

If just 50 of us would give $35 a month, we could meet the need.

Bethlehem Baptist Church will pay the fee to get the funds there, so if you give a dollar a dollar will get to the orphans.

In this season of hope and giving, will you consider giving hope to 24 orphans?

Please send your gift of any amount to Bethlehem Baptist Church, 838 Reed Road, Laurel, Mississippi

39443 or donate through our website bbclaurel .com.

Again, the address is Bethlehem Baptist Church 838 Reed Road, Laurel,

Mississippi 39443 or bbclaurel .com.

Thank you.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said,.

You need to read.

present you can unearth from Solid Ground.

Solid Ground Christian Books is honored to be a weekly sponsor of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

And Mike Gaydosh, the owner of Solid Ground Christian Books, happens to be a mutual friend of my guest today, Jeff Thomas, and he

was my guest yesterday on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Mike Gaydosh that is, and he was relating a very

moving story of how powerfully one of Jeff Thomas' sermons affected him and many other

pastors at a Banner of Truth conference here in Pennsylvania a number of years ago.

And I'm sure you fondly remember our brother Mike Gaydosh.

I'm that sermon man.

Oh wow, you even remember the sermon.

Oh yeah.

Well, Mike Gaydosh is a very important supporter financially of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio so

please folks, every time you purchase a book from Solid Ground Christian Books, you are helping to further ensure a

longer future for Iron Sharpens Iron Radio because of the fact that they are a very key sponsor.

And so please remember, with all the gift -giving needs that you have with the holidays coming up, always remember

Solid -Ground -Books .com Solid -Ground -Books .com and always remember to mention Chris Arns and

Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Before I return to Jeff Thomas, I just have a couple of announcements to make as far as special events that are coming up.

One of them featuring Jeff Thomas and that one is the Foundations conference in New York City.

That's going to be held Thursday and Friday, December 19th and 20th right in Manhattan and I can't think of a better place

in the universe to be spending a part of the Christmas season than in New York City and certainly December 19th

and 20th is certainly right in the heart of that season.

This is for men in ministry leadership only, so because of the fact that they have a very small venue, you

can only seat less than 200 people, they have to restrict attendance to men in ministry leadership so if that includes you,

you should join me God willing, on December 19th and 20th, that's Thursday and Friday

in New York City and the speakers include the aforementioned Jeff Thomas and also Dr. Stephen J.

Lawson and Paul Washer a young man, Reverend Armand Tomassian, who I am strongly confident over the

next decade is going to become a household name amongst Reformed Christians, he is that powerful and gifted, a young man

with abilities far beyond his youth and Richard Caldwell Jr. and Andrew Quigley are on the roster I have

never heard them preach yet but since sermonaudio .com selected them for this conference, they must be

magnificent.

So if you want to join me Thursday and Friday, December 19th and 20th in Manhattan for the Foundations Conference go to

thefoundationsconference .com thefoundationsconference .com and then coming up in January

Thursday, January 16th through Saturday, January 18th I'll be heading back to the G3 Conference

in Atlanta, Georgia at the Georgia International Convention Center, it's actually technically College Park Georgia, a suburb

of Atlanta and this is always a monumental event, they have over 5 ,000 people that come to this event every year

and there's a good reason, the speakers are absolutely extraordinary and the roster is enormous

the aforementioned Stephen J. Lawson will be at this conference as well Dr. James R. White of Alpha Omega

Ministries, one of my dearest friends since 1995, Phil Johnson, the Executive Director of John MacArthur's Ministry,

grace to you, and Phil Johnson has the dubious reputation of being the most frequently interviewed guest in the

history of Iron Sharp and Zion Radio going back to 2005, my friend Todd Friel of Wretched TV and Wretched Radio

Derek Thomas a name that is definitely renowned amongst Reformed Christians, a phenomenal,

extraordinary, Presbyterian preacher, teacher, pastor author, conference speaker,

my friend Dr. Tom Askell, who is the Executive Director of the Founders Ministries,

which is the Calvinistic Ministry in the Southern Baptist Convention.

Stephen J. Nichols the President of Reformation Bible College, the college founded by the late R .C. Sproul and Ligonier

Ministries and as you heard Dr. John MacArthur himself has been added to the lineup.

I would go even if John MacArthur was just preaching by himself.

If you want to join me Thursday through Saturday, January 16th through the 18th at the Georgia International Convention Center

in College Park, Georgia go to G3conference .com.

This January's theme is Worship Matters, a very important theme in the Body of Christ

and I would strongly urge you if you have a business or parachurch organization to register for an exhibitor's booth as well,

because with John MacArthur added to this lineup I have a feeling they're going to exceed their normal

attendance of over 5 ,000 to over 6 ,000.

That's just an educated guess on my part, but obviously with a name of that renown,

John MacArthur I'm sure that it's going to add to the attendance.

So it would be wise to have an exhibitor's booth just like I will be manning for my fourth year in a row at the G3

Conference.

Go to G3conference .com G3conference .com.

By the way folks if you are not a member of a local bible believing church and you're not even prayerfully looking for one, please

rectify that situation.

You're living in rebellion against God.

Send me an email to ChrisArnson at gmail .com and put I need a church.

I have lists of biblically faithful churches all over the world and I have already helped a number of people in the

IronTrapandZionRadio audience find churches near where they live, where they have either joined and become

members or where they have visited when they're on vacation or where they have shared that information with family, friends and loved ones who are without

churches all over the world.

In fact I just got a request to find a church in South Korea from a listener.

So, please send me an email to ChrisArnson at gmail .com and put I need a church in the subject line.

That's also the email address where you can send in a question for Jeff Thomas on Brownlow North, the subject of our

discussion today.

And you can even ask a theological question as well.

That's ChrisArnson at gmail .com.

ChrisArnson at gmail .com.

As always, give us your first name your city and state, your country of residence if you live outside the USA only

remain anonymous if your question involves a personal or private matter.

As far as the Founders Conference where you will be preaching, God willing December 19th

and 20th in New York City Reverend Thomas, can you tell us if you know, what subject you'll be speaking

on?

But I've said, very

unpeace as you believe in.

God.

Praise God, what a great subject.

I certainly need to hear that because I have been lacking in joy and peace lately through my own sinfulness being

anxious for many things other than, as Jesus commanded, be anxious for nothing.

So I'm looking forward to that.

Good, good, good, good.

And going back to Brownlow North, we have a question.

Let's see, we have CJ in Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York, who wants to know why is it

that a man of great reputation from an era past is

very little known today?

Hundreds of men that

should

be

known now.

He is loved and known.

Will he have on your shelves?

No, he's

certainly

moving

us to

know.

Amen.

And CJ, you've also won a free copy of the book, Brownlow North The All -Around Evangelist.

Send us your mailing address so that cvbbs .com can ship that

out to you.

And that's compliments of Reformation Heritage Books.

We have John in Bangor, Maine, who wants to know.

I'm sorry if I missed this because I've tuned in late, but I was wondering if Brownlow North practiced a

biblical ecumenism.

I do not mean the liberal version of it today where believers link arms with apostates, but I mean did

he have a healthy ecumenism with those of other denominations who still embraced and proclaimed the

true gospel?

God

is speaking to you and that you are to believe and act

upon what he says.

I believe all facts.

Praise God.

Now, before I take any other listener question, I want you to really make sure over the next few minutes that

you let our listeners know about the most important things they should be aware of in regard

to the life and legacy of Brownlow North.

Yes, yes.

To find intelligent,

strong,

like a pagel to men and women, to be rather clever in his exegesis.

And he took that word seriously on one occasion and he began to preach, and

after five minutes to write

you about my Savior.

It's not said

is it, man?

And again,

those are wonderful things, aren't they?

Amen.

Let's see.

We have Bobby in Hartsdale, New York.

And he asks, What particular branch of the Presbyterian Church

was Brownlow North a member of and where he was ordained?

I don't even know.

Back then, were there many different kinds of Presbyterians?

I guess this is the.

19th

century.

Yes.

Men,

they

are family

and formed

enormously powerful and instrumental.

And the great men that we know of that I've mentioned already, like McShane and the

Bonner Brothers and Chalmers and Bannerman

Mines.

Combining it with,

in a way, he

never returned.

Hudson

Taylor, end of the 19th century,

and continues still.

Excellent.

We have let's see here, we have B .B. in

Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, who asks, One of the greatest criticisms

we have as Reformed Christians is that our preachers are very often

dry and dull and give lectures rather than preach sermons.

I know for a fact that is not at all a description of you because you preach with such great passion.

But I was wondering what kind of preacher if we know, was Brownlow North?

I know that we cannot have recordings of him, but are there written descriptions of the manner with which he preached

the Gospel?

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Amen.

We are going to our final break right now.

It's going to be a lot briefer than the last one, or a lot more brief.

So, if you have a question and you want to have it read on the air and answered by Jeff Thomas, I would strongly

urge you to email it to me immediately because we are rapidly running out of time.

That's chrisarnson at gmail .com.

Chrisarnson at gmail .com.

Don't go away.

God willing, we'll be right back with Jeff Thomas and more of.

Lynnbrook Baptist Church on 225 Earl Avenue in Lynnbrook, Long Island is teaching God's timeless truths in

Our church is far more than a Sunday worship service.

When 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 Dr. Tony Costa, Professor of Apologetics and Islam at the Toronto Baptist Seminary, and the

NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Jeff Downs of Knox Reform Presbyterian Church in Mechanicsville, Virginia, and the NASB is my

Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Mark Romaldi of Grace Reform Baptist Church of Long Island in Merritt, New York, and the

NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Scott Pasolo of the Master's Church of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and

the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Kevin Venio of the Bible Church of Port Washington, New York, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Andrew Smith of Christ Reformed Community Church in St. Augustine, Florida, and the NASB

is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Clint Leiter of High William Chapel, Sedalia, Missouri, and the NASB

is my Bible of choice.

Here's a great way for your church to help keep Iron Trumpets 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

from Chris Armisen on Iron Trumpets Iron Radio.

Go to NASBible .com.

That's NASBible .com to place your order.

James White of Alpha Omega Ministries and the Dividing Line webcast here.

Although God has brought me all over the globe for many years to teach, preach, and debate at numerous venues, some of my

very fondest memories are from those precious times of fellowship with Pastor Rich Jensen and the Brethren at Hope

Reformed Baptist Church, now located at their new, beautiful facilities in Coram, Long Island, New York.

I've had the privilege of opening God's Word from their pulpit on many occasions, have led youth retreats for them, and have always

been thrilled to see their members filling many seats at my New York debates.

I do not hesitate to highly recommend Hope Reformed Baptist Church of Coram, Long Island to anyone who wants to be

accurately taught, discipled, and edified by the Holy Scriptures, and to be surrounded by truly loving

and caring brothers and sisters in Christ.

I also want to congratulate Hope Reformed Baptist Church of Coram for their recent appointment with Pastor Rich Jensen's co -elder,

Pastor Christopher McDowell.

Listening to Christian radio can be a big gamble spiritually.

Even many of the major Christian networks that include excellent, biblically faithful teachers on their lineup, sadly

often also include the worst of doctrinally dangerous heretics.

If you are a lover of the doctrines of Sovereign Grace, you need not fear listening 24 hours a day to

FirstLoveRadio .org.

They feature Christ -centered programming from Reformed pastors and teachers you can rely upon for theological

soundness and biblical faithfulness, such as Dr. W .R. Downing, Dr. Peter Masters,

Pastor Joe Jackowitz, Pastor Robert Gifford, Al Martin, Edward Del Cor, and

more.

FirstLoveRadio .org also live streams my Iron Trepans Iron Radio program daily.

Please stick around on FirstLoveRadio .org after Iron Trepans Iron Radio is over to continue

being blessed by the unwavering proclamation of the Gospel of Sovereign Grace.

Spread the word about FirstLoveRadio .org.

Hi, I'm Buzz Taylor, frequent co -host with Chris Arnzen on Iron Trepans Iron Radio.

I would like to introduce you to my good friends Todd and Patty Jennings at CVBBS, which stands for Cumberland Valley

Bible Book Service.

Todd and Patty specialize in supplying Reformed and Puritan books and Bibles at discount prices that make them

affordable to everyone.

Since 1987, the family -owned and operated book service has sought to bring you the best available Christian books

and Bibles at the best possible prices.

Unlike other book sites, they make no effort to provide every book that is available because frankly, much of what

is being printed is not worth your time.

That means you can get to the good stuff faster.

It also means that you don't have to worry about being assaulted by the pornographic, heretical, and

otherwise faith -insulting material promoted by the secular book vendors.

Their website is CVBBS .com.

Browse the pages at ease, shop at your leisure, and purchase with confidence as Todd and Patty work

in service to you, the Church, and to Christ.

That's Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service at CVBBS .com.

That's CVBBS .com.

Let Todd and Patty know that you heard about them on Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio.

And you can also call CVBBS .com Monday through Friday from 10 a .m. to 4 .30 p .m. Eastern Time

at 800 -656 -0231.

800 -656 -0231.

Always mention that you heard about them from Chris Arns and on Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio.

We thank CVBBS .com for sending out all of our winners in our audience the books that they

win through submitting questions for our guests on Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio.

Just a quick note.

I strongly urge you to kill two birds with one stone if you could.

Help both of our book -related advertisers at the same time.

Solid Ground Christian Books is a publisher.

CVBBS .com is a distributor.

So therefore, I strongly urge you to go to Solid -Ground -Books .com first.

Make a long list of all the books that you want to order that they publish.

Then go to CVBBS .com and order them there.

This way you help both of our advertisers at the same time.

Please always mention Chris Arns and of Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio.

We are now back for the final segment of our interview with Jeff Thomas.

And before I have you continue with Brownlow North, if you could whet the appetite of our listeners

who hopefully will tune in tomorrow to find out more about your book, How Can I Please God and Everything, if you could

give us a little teaser about that book.

Alright.

Okay.

...and to be present with the Lord.

So we labor.

...we do

really great.

Well, I hope

that you all.

Tune in tomorrow to hear a second interview with our dear friend Jeff Thomas.

Now I have a question from RJ in White Plains, New York, who asked, Do you know who

Brownlow North's heroes in the faith were?

Praise God.

Wow.

What a great way to conclude this interview.

I am certainly looking forward to our interview tomorrow.

And I want to remind our listeners if you are a man in ministry leadership, please join me

this December 19th and 20th in New York City to hear Jeff Thomas preach.

And if you've never heard Jeff Thomas preach, you have got to make every effort to go hear him preach.

Of course, you can listen on Sermon Audio and other places, but there's nothing like being present physically when somebody

is preaching the Gospel.

Especially a gifted minister, an ambassador for Christ like Jeff Thomas.

And of course, Stephen J. Lawson will be there at the Foundations Conference and Paul Washer and Rev. Armin

Tomasian and Richard Colwell Jr. and Andrew Quigley.

That website to register is thefoundationsconference .com.

Thefoundationsconference .com.

Thefoundationsconference .com.

And also, please don't forget that for those of you who did not win a copy of

Brownlow North, the all -around evangelist, you can find out more about this book at

heritagebooks .org.

Heritagebooks .org.

But I'm asking, actually, that when we interview authors, that you get them because this does not hurt Heritage

Books.

Get them through our sponsors cvbbs .com, Carmelin Valley Bible Book Service, cvbbs

.com, because obviously they have to purchase these books from heritagebooks .org.

And so both will benefit.

And so that's cvbbs .com cvbbs .com for Carmelin Valley Bible Book

Service.

And I was wondering, Brother Thomas, do you have any contact information that you want to

share with our listeners, or should they go through the Reformation Heritage Books website to get in

contact with you?

I'd just like you to choose that on your own as to how our listeners can follow up with you.

I'm not sure how to answer that question.

Well, I'll just leave it at heritagebooks .org heritagebooks .org.

And of course, we can't forget about the Banner of Truth.

And the Banner of Truth, you can find out also banneroftruth .org banneroftruth

.org.

You can find out more information about Jeff Thomas.

And, Brother, I am so excited about interviewing you two days in a row.

I'm looking forward to our conversation tomorrow on How Can I Please God and Everything.

Thank you so much for being my guest today and tomorrow.

And I want to thank everybody who listened today, especially those who took the time to write in questions.

And I want you all to always remember for the rest of your lives that Jesus Christ is a far greater

Savior than you are a sinner.

God bless you, and we look forward...

Amen.

God bless you, and we look forward to hearing from you with your questions tomorrow on Iron Trumpet's.

Iron Ring.

Very much for entertaining me and encouraging me so much.

Oh, my pleasure, Brother.

The pleasure is all mine.
