Dr. JOE MORECRAFT, pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, GA, who will address: PART 4 of “WITH LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL: CHRISTIAN POLITICS MADE SIMPLE”
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 Tuesday on This fifth day of May Cinco de Mayo 2020 and I am thrilled to have back on the program of Somebody that I obviously have enjoyed interviewing Him on his book with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple because this is part four Of our discussion on that we've done three previous programs discussing his book with liberty and justice for all and I'm sure that part four Will add some new enlightenment for all of us because we didn't have a chance to adequately cover everything else.
That's in this book. Even though it's not a massive book a very reasonably length book to read and a reasonably short period of time and but there's a lot of material in here that we could still delve into and I hope we Get some good new information for you today that you may not have heard before or perhaps just to Bring new life into those things that might have been laying dormant in your mind and heart in regard to this subject.
My guest as I said is dr. Joe more craft and he is pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia. And it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to honor chirping's iron radio dr. Moore craft.
Great. Well for the sake of our listeners, especially who did not Hear you during those other three interviews. We did and in fact, we've done more than that on our old show on the iron Sherpins iron radio show that was broadcast out of New York.
But for the sake of those who haven't heard you before tell our listeners about Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia, especially Since this is a rather relatively new church plant Praise God and for any of you who want more information about Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia The website is very easy to remember heritage Presbyterian church .com Heritage Presbyterian church .com and God willing we will remember to repeat that later on especially for the sake of those who tune in late.
Well, dr. Moore craft. We have covered a lot of the subject matter in your book. Why don't you for the sake of our listeners who haven't? Heard you yet discuss this book. Just give a brief overview again on why you wrote it to begin with.
We are to manifest Submission to his lordship and one of those it almost 13 is. Part two the bulls will distinguish us from liberals and conservatives. Do it both. Originated with the state it would only be accountable to its accountable to its origin and that origin is God.
It may never may never bow to his law. It's involved in everything else of the civil magistrate. Minister I have no religious and that's the minister. What's the way from it? It is to make sure that all of its laws and all of its policies on the law God gave the civil magistrate the power of the sword.
Of the sword is symbolic of the power to wage war. When necessary the only wars the Bible gives involved in any kind of political wars and put on and women at risk because of such. Third power is the power to tax not just any kind of tax.
It's interesting in the Bible that all the various forms of it implies sovereignty. That is what you tax you have sovereignty over. Do you have ownership of and. And 300 years the federal government may not even own property unless it's for Post-office and military.
Wow. And as I mentioned in one of our previous interviews.
Although you have been somewhat not overly or harshly but somewhat critical of Libertarianism and of course that is not a monolithic group. There's there's a wide spectrum of libertarians. Some of them are very evil who believe so much in Personal liberty that they forget about the liberty of unborn babies and believe women should be able to murder them.
And but of course there are Christian libertarians who are pro-life.
But.
Yes, who you? Campaigned for. At least you aggressively supported him publicly when he ran for president. About. I don't know was it 12 years ago.
A long time ago seems like now. Yeah.
The you see you still seem to have some Empathy. You you have you seem to be in agreement with them. That last group that I mentioned the Christian Libertarians you seem to have more in agreement than disagreement.
I happen to be as I mentioned before. Leaning that way, although there are things that many of the most vociferous Libertarians in the media Believe in that I disagree with them on I believe that we should have a strong border control.
For instance not for people who want to leave and come and go as they please but for those who are trying to enter into the country and Many libertarians if not most. Exactly.
John Knox was great and he shared many. The same was more in polite state than even the English Reformation made by Mecklenburg County where Charlotte is in North Carolina prior to the Declaration of Independence.
They found a great deal alike and so these people. Radical extreme thing you can ever read Mecklenburg bacteria and unfortunately that slogan is probably most well known for John Wilkes Booth.
Now a lot of what you said isn't the the covenant aspect. That the Scottish Covenanters and John Knox before them believed in so deeply. Isn't that something that is a key point of Teaching even in the modern-day Covenant or Presbyterians also known as the reformer the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America and also.
The.
Reformed Presbyterian Church that's in Europe.
Revolutionary Parliament at that time was it would. Be fixed. Figure out while some Christian schools and homeschools and a lot of them are just accredited by the same.
Secular humanist.
That's exactly correct. Yes, sir.

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.

And I've helped those folks as well. So that's chrisarnson at gmail .com and put I need a church in the subject line. That is also the email address where you can send in a question to our guest today.
Dr. Joe Moore craft and Our email address is chrisarnson at gmail .com chrisarnson at gmail .com and Let's see here. We have Ronald in Eastern Suffolk County, Long Island, New York and He asks Dr. Moore craft.
What do you say to the average person in America who has no idea that the only? Responsibilities and duties of the government of the United States are To protect the lives of the innocent and to punish evildoers.
There are many people who would immediately respond what about infrastructure, what about roads and bridges? What about the education of our children, especially for those who can't afford parochial schools and the list could go on.
We.
Which shows how government is doing. 85 of it goes church and voluntary. Take care of these people. Oh, yeah, I've heard of that and the name of his book productive Christians is an age of guilt. But it's all about how he's been.
He's been a guest on this program a number. Oh, he is great and his books are really magnificent. And so I highly recommend it. Great.
Thank you, Ronald. And if you haven't already won a copy of with Liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple we will have CV. Bbs .com ship you out a copy and I just want to plug the folks to find folks at comprehensive Christianity who have provided these books for us to give away.
Their website is comprehensive Christianity calm. Comprehensive Christianity calm. We have an anonymous listener Who says whenever? conservative Christians that I know of Start to go on a tirade against the welfare system and The socialist system that this country has adopted to take care of the poor.
They often will say that is the job of the church It's not the job of the government. But the reality is that many of the churches that I have experienced near where I live Are either too poor or not interested enough in doing that work of charity, how do you respond to that?
Amen.
And when you agree that and I mean no disrespect to the anonymous listener I don't know who you are and I'm not trying to lump you you in this category at all. Please don't think that for a second. But There are people That the church should not help financially like for instance in 2nd.
That's the Thessalonians Chapter 3 verse 10 for even when we were with you We used to give you this order if anyone is not willing to work then he is not to eat either. And you have people who are Unrepentant habitual drug addicts and and All kinds of people that if you give them money They're just going to use it for the wrong purposes or just not even bother getting a job.
Because they're being funded by bouncing from church to church to church getting money from. Now there is also a category of people.
That.
Have no interest at all in ever darkening the door of your church other than to yet. Food or money. I can remember when I worked for WMCA radio a Salem media affiliate in New York I Had an office of my own.
Being the Long Island, New York representative of the time at the time I had an office in my the building of the church where I was a member and I would work there sometimes late at night, and I would get knocks at the door on occasion.
Local members of the community who wanted food and so on and I would always take them down to the food pantry and load up. You know. Baskets and bags of whatever they had available with food. And I can remember one night a couple came in and They had a very demanding rude and proud attitude.
And I remember the woman said to me, where's your meat at? I said, excuse me because she was dissatisfied with the canned goods and the non perishable items. She said where's your meat at and I said, do you think we have like a meat locker in here or something?
Do you think I said do you think that this is like a government-run?
A.
Food pantry where where it's our obligation to feed anybody that comes by here. I said. Did you ever visit this church for a worship service? No, I got my own church. I said, why aren't you there now asking them for your meat?
Right, we have to go to our final break right now.
And if you want to join us, we are running out of time. So, please submit a question as soon as possible. And by the way, folks, I want to make it clear I don't want to mislead anybody from the the anecdote I gave before I don't think that Christians are to be overly Micromanaging people's lives when they come for financial assistance or for food and I I did give those folks that came to the church a lot of food.
The difference that I'm was highlighting was the the arrogance and the nastiness and the Demanding spirit that this woman had. Which is you know, I don't think that the church is obligated to help people Maintain their laziness which it's just like putting a needle in a heroin addicts arm or a bottle of booze and alcoholics and You know, we're hastening their death if we just give them Free food and money and don't ever offer any kind of Counsel correction rebuke or what have you and we're perpetuating slavery.
That's right. That's right. And So if you have a question of your own, we're almost out of time. Send us an email to chrisarnson at gmail .com. We'll be right back with more. Dr. Joe more craft after these messages from our sponsors.

And by the way, we do have a Listener named Tom in Jennison, Michigan who just offers a word of encouragement. He says love more craft.
Most.
Underrated Christian historian in our day. Well, thank you very much for that word of encouragement Tom. Yeah. Thank you very much. And We have Johnny in New York City. Johnny says is in Queens, New York.
To be more specific He says Romans 13 commands us to submit to God appointed authorities but many of our civil leaders Misuse and abuse their power to cause spiritual and physical harm to its people. For example, many states like New York and California have recently had their religious exemption revoked to make medical decisions for their own families.
Vaccines cultured by aborted fetal tissues are mandated to be injected into children for attending public private and Christian schools.
Over.
26 ,000 families in New York alone have had their children expelled from school due to their convictions under the pretense of the current COVID -19 crisis. Many such vaccines are already bypassing many safety measures Being made with aborted babies and other highly objectionable Ingredients and will be mandated on all people including adults.
How should God's people grounded on biblical convictions? Against such heinous measures stand against these wicked mandates and obey God and not man.
Well, Joe, I'd like you to have a minute right now to just summarize what you most want etched in the hearts and minds of.
Our listeners today.
