September 20, 2021 Show with Dr. Joe Morecraft on “Proper Heroes Put in Their Proper Place in the Lives of Christians” (Part 6)

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.

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 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.

...County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida, and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth. We're listening via live streaming at ironsharpensironradio .com. This is Chris Arnzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, wishing you all a happy Monday on this 20th day of September 2021.

Proper Heroes in Their Proper Place, Part 6

And I'm so thrilled to have back as a returning guest one of my very favorite guests to interview and one of my most frequently interviewed guests, Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III, who is an author and he's the pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

And we are addressing Part 6 of the theme, Proper Heroes Put in Their Proper Place in the Lives of Christians. And it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Dr. Joe Moorcraft.

It's always enjoyable to be with you, Chris.

I really appreciate that, brother. Well, tell us about Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

Heritage Presbyterians are in the process of joining, so God has given us...

Well, praise God for that. I always love to hear about people discovering and joining good, solid, biblically faithful churches. If anybody wants more information on the church where Dr. Moorcraft is the pastor, you can simply go to their website, which is very easy to remember, HeritagePresbyterianChurch .com, HeritagePresbyterianChurch .com, and hopefully we'll remember to mention that again toward the end of the program.

I always like to plug something that is a very valuable tool, resource available to the body of Christ that is really an unknown, or should I say a little-known gem that more people should discover and purchase, and that is your very long series of books.

In fact, it's eight volumes, and it's called Authentic Christianity, An Exposition of the Theology and Ethics of the Westminster Larger Catechism. Tell us about that.

That book represents several hundred sermons.

Also, I want to read a commendation for these volumes by Dr. Joseph A. Piper, Jr., President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, who is a very well-known, world-renowned, in fact, amongst Reformed Christians.

He says about this eight-volume commentary of yours, Every Christian who is serious about the Reformed faith and the Westminster standards should have and use this set. It is much more than an exposition of the larger catechism.

It is a thoroughly researched work that utilizes biblical exegesis as well as historical and systematic theology. That is a very powerful commendation from a very powerful book.

Oh, it is humbling, and I really appreciate it.

And I hope to have Dr. Piper back again on the program at some point as a returning guest in the near future.

Just to plug him, his book entitled The Lord's Day.

Good to know. Maybe that will be our subject of discussion when he returns as a guest.

Yeah, it would be.

Now I want you to tell us about the website that has been created by one of your elders, Tim Renshaw, called ComprehensiveChristianity .com.

Tim Renshaw is an elder. I really appreciate it.

Well, this has turned out to be a theme that I never dreamed would be continuing to stretch out to a sixth part, and that is proper heroes put in their proper place in the lives of Christians. And every one that we have done has been so fascinating to me that it has been baiting my breath, as they say, with a desire to learn more, to learn about and discover more Christian heroes, either ones that I've never heard of before or ones that I have heard about but didn't know nearly as much as I thought about them.

And so what do you have in store for us to begin with with part six of proper heroes put in their proper place in the lives of Christians?

Coupled with that, in this country you had the military...

Yes, in fact, he was more works-righteous oriented and believed more in the unfettered freedom of man in his natural state than Roman Catholics.

Yes, sir, he was.

Let me ask you a question. I don't know if you're familiar with my friend Jerry Johnson, a very brilliant Reformed brother, but he said something quite interesting. He actually produced a documentary, which you can get on DVD, I believe, still on Amazon, on the heresies of Finney.

But he said Charles Finney was not a synergist, as most people claim. He was actually a monergist, but not a good kind of monergist that gives credit entirely to the sovereignty of God in one's salvation.

He was a monergist in that all of the credit goes to man. Would you agree with that assessment?

Oh, that is well said. Charles Brandeson, I think 1837, maybe.

In fact, I don't know if you enjoyed this book as much as I did, but Ian Murray wrote, I believe, a superb book called Revival and Revivalism, where he contrasted the heresies and the so-called revivals of Finney with the genuine revival that God brought about through Asahel Middleton.

It is a great book. It is a mystery why so many of our fundamentalist brethren.

Who despise, rightly despise, the heresies of Roman Catholicism, embraces a hero, Charles Finney, who is worse in heresy than the Romanists in regard to the same issues that fundamentalists deny Romanism.

So it's just mind-boggling how they could be so duped by exalting him as one of the great heroes of the faith.

That is true. Reconstruction after that totally until 1921. Princeton Seminary was the greatest...

In fact, can I quickly plug, if my listeners go to cvbbs .com, cvbbs .com, and order the book, the biography of B .B. Warfield that was written by my dear friend Dr. Fred Zaspel. And if they don't have it in stock, they'll order it for you.

His last name is Z-A-S-P-E-L. And his first name is Fred. And the book is a biography of B .B. Warfield. And at some point, I will look up the exact title for you. But right now, I just know it was a biography, an excellent biography of Warfield.

But I'm sorry.

Well, an early prophet Alexander wrote a great view of Charles Hodge's great grandson. You did? Where is he?

He has a musical ministry where he puts on performances that people can see, like a concert. And the name of the band is Princeton Revival.

Unbelievable.

And his name is Greg Hodge. He spells Greg with two Gs. I'm sorry, he spells Greg with three Gs, two Gs at the end.

Yeah.

And I've got to get him back on the program. He is quite a fascinating character.

How old is he?

I don't know. I never asked him that question.

That's amazing. You pick up on Robinson when we return from our first break. Sure.

And folks, if you want to ask a question of Dr. Morecraft, send it in by email at chrisorenson at gmail .com. C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. Give us your first name, at least city and state of residence and country of residence.

If you live outside of the USA, don't go away. We'll be right back with Dr. Joseph C. Morecraft III right after these messages.

Advertisers and Sponsors During the First Break

Hello, dear ones.

My name is Justin Peters, and my friend Chris Arnzen, host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, and I are frequently blessed to share great times of fellowship with one another at conferences all over the United States.

We'll both be enjoying more fellowship together at the G3 Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday, September 30th through Saturday, October 2nd, on the theme, Christ is supreme over all. I'll be speaking there along with over 20 other speakers, including John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Votie Balcom, Joel Beakey, and James White.

For details, visit g3conference .com. That's g3conference .com. Please join Chris Arnzen and me September 30th through October 2nd at G3 2021. This is Justin Peters reminding you that Christ is supreme over all.

To announce another new member of the Iron Sharpens Iron Radio advertising family, Bhanu Gadi, owner of three New York pharmacies, Lee's Drugs of Floral Park, Long Beach Chemists, and Prescription Center of Long Island in Hempstead.

Bhanu Gadi earned a doctorate in pharmacy degree and is very knowledgeable on the current coronavirus pandemic. Please contact Dr. Gadi so he and his expert staff can give you proper guidance amid all the contradictory confusion we are all hearing in the media.

To find the pharmacy nearest you, call 516 -354 -2000. That's 516 -354 -2000. Or order online at leesdrugsrx .com. That's leesdrugsrx .com. Don't forget to ask about their discount generic drug program.

Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. My name is Bhanu Gadi. I'm a pharmacist in New York, which is the epicenter of the latest crisis the world is going through. In Psalm 139 verse 14, the psalmist offers praise to the Lord like this, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and wondrous are your works that my soul knows very well.

He saw God's goodness and mercy, kindness, and the beauty in what God has designed, and he has erupted into praise. In any crisis or problem, brothers and sisters, our only fallback position is to trust God's design.

And once we do, there is nothing for us to do but to erupt in praise to him. When the whole world is searching for a solution, God in his infinite mercy has given us what we need to address this illness, which can be very serious.

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

Thank you. If you love Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio, one of the best ways you can help keep the show on the air is by supporting our advertisers. One such faithful advertiser who really believes in what Chris Hansen is doing is Daniel P. Patafuco, serious injury lawyer and Christian apologist.

Dan is the president and founder of the Historical Bible Society. Their mission? To foster belief in the credibility of scripture as the written word of God. They go to various churches, schools, and institutions to publicly display a rare collection of biblical texts, along with a fascinating presentation by Mr. Patafuco demonstrating the reliability of scripture.

To advance the cause of the gospel, they created a beautiful, perfect facsimile of the genealogy of Jesus Christ from the original engravings contained in a first edition 1611 King James Bible. This 17th century hand-engraved chart shows the family tree of Jesus Christ going back to Adam and Eve.

This book is complete with gorgeous full-size illustrations of Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel, and an explanation of why the genealogy of Jesus is so important for his claims to the throne of the universe.

Originals of this work are in museums, and nobody has ever made it accessible to the public in a large book form before. You can have your own copy of this 44-page genealogy book for a donation of $35 or more.

Visit historicalbiblesociety .org. That's historicalbiblesociety .org. Thanks for helping to keep Iron Sharpen's Iron Radio on the air.

This is Pastor Bill Souso, 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 Sharpen's Iron Radio financially.

Grace Church at Franklin is an independent, autonomous body of believers which 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 for 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 Souso wishing you all the richest blessings of our Sovereign Lord, God, Savior, and King, Jesus Christ, today and always.

As host of Iron Sharpen's 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.

Discover more about Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey at 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.

Hi, I'm Buzz Taylor. Chris Arnzen of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio has had a long-time partnership with our friends at CVBBS, which stands for Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service. They specialize in supplying Reformed and Puritan books and Bibles at discount prices that make them affordable for everyone.

CVBBS has been a family-owned book service since 1987, operating out of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They seek 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 or popular 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 you don't have to worry about being assaulted by the pornographic, heretical, and otherwise faith-insulting materials promoted by the secular book vendors.

Browse the pages at ease, shop at your leisure, and purchase with confidence at Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service. Order online at CVBBS .com. That's CVBBS .com. Or you can order by phone at 1 -800 -656 -0231.

That's 1 -800 -656 -0231. Please let our friends at CVBBS know that you heard about them on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

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. Joe Moorcraft, pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Anthony Uvino, founder of TheReformRookie .com and co-founder of New York Apologetics, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Tim Bushong of Syracuse Baptist Church in Syracuse, Indiana, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Eli Ayala, founder of Revealed Apologetics and staff member with the Historical Bible Society, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Josh Miller of Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Joe Bianchi, president of Calvi Press Publishing in Greenville, South Carolina, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Pastor Jake Korn of Switzerland Community Church in Switzerland, Florida, 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. Welcome back, this is Chris Arnzen, and I found the title of the biography of B .B. Warfield that I was plugging before, written by my dear friend of many years, Dr. Fred G. Zaspel, and Sinclair Ferguson.

It is titled, The Theology of B .B. Warfield, A Systematic Summary, and he's also written a second book, they're both published by Crossway. The second book is Warfield on the Christian Life, Living in Light of the Gospel.

So, both of those are available from Crossway, and I want to thank Dr. Fred Zaspel for contributing these works to the literature available to the body of Christ that is truly edifying and valuable. And if you've just tuned us in, our guest today is my friend, Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III, and we are discussing Part 6 of Proper Heroes Put in Their Proper Place in the Lives of Christians.

Oh, by the way, folks, if I forgot to mention it, get those Warfield books from cvbbs .com, cv, as in Cumberland Valley, bbs, as in Bible Book Service, dot com, cvbbs .com. You were just about to enter into a discussion on Robinson before we went into the break.

Yes, sir.

I'm glad that you uphold him as a hero, because he happens to have believed firmly in something that I strongly advocate. He rejected the baptism of Roman Catholics and insisted that they be baptized correctly.

He wrote a whole book on it.

Yes, and it's very rarely upheld as a belief today amongst Presbyterians, but he shines through.

A young man.

Somebody better start reprinting it, because Sprinkle is out of business. Don't ever do that. Even though it seemed to go by so quickly, but we're already here at our midway break portion, so we're going to have to pick up on Palmer when we come back from the midway break.

If you would like to join us with a question of your own, our e-mail address is chrisarnson at gmail .com, chrisarnson at gmail .com. Give us your first name, at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence, if you live outside the USA.

This is a longer break than normal, so please be patient. It's longer because Grace Life Radio, 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida, needs a longer break in the middle of the show to localize Iron Sharpens Iron Radio geographically to Lake City, Florida, with their own public service announcements.

And while they do that, we air our globally heard commercials. So use this time wisely and productively. Write down as much of the information as you possibly can, provided by our advertisers, so that you can more frequently and successfully respond to our advertisers.

And hopefully, very often, you will purchase their products, use their services, visit their churches, and support their parachurch organizations. But when you cannot do those things, please, at the very least, write to them, e-mail them, call them, and tell them, thank you for sponsoring Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

That is, if indeed you do love the show and are grateful to them for making the show available, because we cannot exist without our advertisers' financial support. So please always remember that. And if you love the show, thank our advertisers.

Also use this time to write down questions to Dr. Joseph C. Morrowcraft III and send them to chrisarnson at gmail .com. Chrisarnson at gmail .com. As always, give us first name at least, city and state, and country of residence.

We'll be right back after these messages. Don't go away.

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 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.

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

Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said, Give yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own.

You need to read. Solid Ground Christian Books is a publisher and book distributor who takes these words of the Prince of Preachers to heart. The mission of Solid Ground Christian Books is to bring back treasures of the past to minister to Christians in the present and future and to publish new titles that address burning issues in the church and the world.

Since its beginning in 2001, Solid Ground has been committed to publish God-centered, Christ-exalting books for all ages. We invite you to go treasure hunting at solid-ground-books .com. That's solid-ground-books .com and see what priceless literary gems from the past to present you can unearth from Solid Ground.

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

And you can get works by and about some of the heroes of the Christian faith that we are discussing today with my guest Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III from solid-ground-books .com. And just type in names like B .B. Warfield, for instance, who has been identified by Dr. Moorcraft as a significant figure from history that every Christian should get a hold of in regard to his writings and writings about him that are faithful according to his life and teachings.

One such book that includes B .B. Warfield, among others, is a book called Princeton Sermons, Chapel Addresses from 1891 to 1892. And you can get that and many others from solid-ground-books .com, solid-ground-books .com.

And before I return to our friend and guest, Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft, I have some important announcements to make. If you want to register to attend the next Iron Sharpens Iron Radio Pastors Luncheon, please do so by this Friday at the latest.

The event will be held Monday, September 27th, that's this coming Monday, 11 a .m. to 2 p .m. at the Bongiorno Conference Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, featuring, I believe, the most powerful preacher alive on the planet Earth, Dr. Conrad Mbewe of Kibwata Baptist Church of Lusaka, Zambia, Africa, and also founding chancellor of African Christian University.

He also happens to be Votie Baucom's pastor. And this man is absolutely extraordinary. Not only will you get free admission to this event if you register, and not only will you eat for free with the other brethren and enjoy the fun and fellowship and rest and relaxation, you're also going to be leaving with a very heavy sack of brand-new books, absolutely free, that have been donated to me by many very prominent Christian publishers, and also excellent Christian publishers that are virtually unknown.

Sometimes the best books are from these small, independent publishing houses. Well, you're going to be leaving with a very heavy sack of books with these titles that I have specifically chosen for the men in attendance.

So, if you want to attend, please take a plane, train, automobile, or parachute, or any other way you can get to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on Monday, September 27th, 11 a .m. to 2 p .m. at the Bongiorno Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Send me an email to register at chrisarnson at gmail .com, chrisarnson at gmail .com, and put Pastor's Luncheon in the subject line. Last but not least, if you love this program and you don't want it to disappear from the airwaves, please go to ironsherpensirenradio .com, click Support, then click Click to Donate Now.

You can donate instantly with a debit or credit card in that fashion. If you prefer snail mail, and it really is snail mail these days, folks. The postal services are taking longer than ever because of this hysteria associated with the coronavirus.
