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

Carlisle, Pennsylvania it's iron sharpens iron a radio

platform on which pastors Christian scholars and theologians Address the burning issues

facing the church and the world today.

Proverbs 27 verse 17 tells us Iron sharpens iron so one

man sharpens another.

Matthew Henry said that in this passage quote.

We are cautioned to take heed whom we converse with 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 hour.

And we hope to hear from you the listener with your own questions.

Now here's our host Chris.

Good afternoon Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

And the rest of humanity living on the planet earth who are listening via live -streaming.

This is Chris Arns in your host of iron sharpens iron.

Wishing you all a happy Wednesday on this 28th day of September

2016.

And we've got two very good guests returning to the iron sharpens iron program

today.

The first hour We have on the broadcast Daniel R. Hyde pastor

of Oceanside United Reformed Church in Oceanside, California.

Who will be discussing his new book that will soon be in print.

God willing.

Content yet contending which is an exposition on the epistle of Jude.

And then in the second hour We have Michael Gaydosh founder of solid ground Christian books, and

he's going to be discussing Some more literary treasures that he has unearthed and brought back into

print through solid grand Christian books.

But first of all, it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron sharpens iron pastor Danny Hyde.

Hey, it's my pleasure brother and as we typically do with pastors because not everybody

is familiar with you and we Have people discovering iron sharpens iron nearly every day it seems.

So they may have not heard you on this program before tell our listeners something about Oceanside United

Reformed Church.

Sure, I think or find us

online Reformed church

and basically in a nutshell are

celebrating the gospel of Jesus Christ all

very reverent community.

Know more about our church

online.

Oceanside.

URC.

Great, and that's the denomination that many who made an exodus out of the Christian

Reformed Church entered into correct.

Yes, that's right.

Yeah, this is the United Reformed.

Yeah founding that you are see

the United Reformed coming out of the the old Christian Reformed Church, which has its roots back in

Europe.

Reformation and.

Yeah, this does

have why art

for the or not

ordination of to the ministry

started new although

confident in that

knows no shame in the gospel and.

Trumpet that word and there are still a remnant of

good faithful men that chose to remain in the CRC.

I believe Joel Niederhood remained in there if I'm not mistaken.

But I still applaud your choice.

To leave over those very serious issues, especially on the reliability and

authority of the Word of God.

We're going to be discussing a book that is not yet in print yet, but to God willing soon will be content yet

contending.

Which is your new exposition on the epistle of Jude?

What led you to take this very short epistle and write an entire book on it?

Yeah, Jude's always they want to look at it and

I think wow.

You know.

Maybe to give you a break or sort of transition from one large book to another and so many years

ago.

Thinking you know, I can do it in one sermon or maybe two.

It turned out to be a little longer than that full of

typical Old Testament images and a lot of things in there that I really drew my attention to it.

And then I had a

for many years he was at one point the editor of banner truth and He

he had given some.

It's got me got me thinking more about you

so I had gone back over through it

again and

thinking and

thistle a

good way to segue into a book and so.

Yeah, that's how I got interested was basically preaching it studying it hearing lectures from a professor

that I trusted.

Well, if you don't mind since it is a very short epistle, I'm going to read it.

So This is the epistle of Jude.

Jude a bondservant of Jesus Christ and brother of James to those who are the cold

beloved in God the Father and Kept for Jesus Christ may mercy and peace and love be

multiplied to you.

Beloved.

While I was making every effort to write to you about a common salvation I felt the necessity to write to

you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith Which was once for all

handed down to the Saints for certain persons have crept in unnoticed

Those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation ungodly persons

who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and Deny our only Master and

Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, I desire to remind you Through you now all things Once and for all

that the Lord after saving a people out of the land of Egypt Subsequently destroyed those

who did not believe all angels who did not keep their own domain But abandoned

their proper abode.

He has kept in eternal bonds and her darkness for the judgment of the great day Just as

Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them since they in the same way as these

indulged in gross immorality and went after Strange flesh and

exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire

yet in the same way these men also by dreaming defile the flesh and

Reject authority and revile angelic majesties.

But Michael the Archangel when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses

Did not care to pronounce did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment But

said the Lord rebuke you but these men revile the things which they do not

understand and the things which they know by instinct like Unreasoning

animals by these things they are destroyed Woe to them for they have gone

the way of Cain and for pay.

They have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam and perished in the rebellion of

Korah.

These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with

you without fear Caring for themselves clouds without water carried along by

winds autumn trees without fruit Doubly dead uprooted and wild waves of

the sea casting up their own shame like foam Wandering stars for whom the

black darkness has been reserved forever.

It was also about these men that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam Prophesied

saying behold the Lord came with many thousands of his holy ones to execute judgment upon

all and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have

done in an ungodly way and of all the harsh things which Ungodly sinners have

spoken against him.

These are grumblers finding fault following after their own lusts.

They speak arrogantly flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

But you beloved ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand By the Apostle of our Lord

Jesus Christ that they were saying to you in the last time there will be mockers

Following after their own ungodly lusts.

These are the ones who cause divisions Worldly -minded devoid of the spirit, but you

beloved building yourselves upon your most holy faith Praying in the Holy Spirit keep

yourselves in the love of God waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life

and Have mercy on some who are doubting saving save others Snatching

them out of the fire and on some have mercy with fear hating even the garment polluted by

the flesh.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of his

Lord his glory blameless with joy To the only God and Savior through Jesus

Christ our Lord be glory majesty dominion and authority before all

time and now and forever.

Amen, and of course most of our listeners will recognize that as probably the most frequently under uttered

benediction at the end of a worship service that I've ever heard but Even though that is

a quite a small Epistle it is very powerful and

probably the I don't know this for a fact.

But it seems probably the repetition of the word ungodly is more frequently made than any

other place.

I can recall in the scripture.

Yeah.

Now it's great.

Go ahead.

Oh, yeah, this is timeless obviously.

Now this was this being spawned from

General evil that was taking place in various ways in different places or was Jude reacting to

specific people in the midst of those he was writing.

Nation to

those who are

calling to whom.

It does sound and seem

like somewhere and I would

know

the

old

testers

today.

Society.

You know

right

in our mentioned at the

very

beginning about

those in

the church.

I have heard perhaps you have a different opinion on this But I have heard from some

that the third verse Which I will read it in a

few different translations We have dear friends, although I

was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share I felt compelled to write and urge you to

contend for the faith that was once for all Entrusted to God's holy people.

That's the NIV.

We have the ESV beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation

I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all

Delivered to the Saints and going back to the NASB that I was reading from beloved.

While I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation I felt the necessity to write to you appealing

that you contend earnestly for the faith, which was once for all Handed down to the Saints

and last but not least the King James Bible Beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you

of the common salvation It was needed It was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that you

should earnestly contend for the faith Which was once delivered unto the Saints.

I have heard that that is a warning that if you have come up with

some kind of novel idea that you are claiming to be exegeting

from the scriptures.

And may likely be is a cheating something rather than executing it that this is a warning

that if the if the Saints of God have never heard of this concept that you have

Developed or that you think that you have has been revealed to you that that it is

nearly With certainty a falsehood is that?

Or perhaps even You know, there are some horrible things that

That have been taught that seem very novel.

Well, I'm certain that the people who have developed these ideas may not think that they're horrible, but they're certainly

Anticlimactic and to me utterly depressing like the concept of the full or hyper

preterist Understanding the wet Jesus has already come back.

He's not coming back again physically invisibly 80 -70 was when he returned and we're

not gonna be seeing him again.

This world is gonna go on forever and ever.

I mean, I don't know how they take joy in that but That that's just another

example Of something that I think is I mean, I know that there was some precedent.

But it's not something that goes back to the ancient church.

Is it?

Yeah, that I that idea specifically hyper preterism,

of course, you could

say Hymenaeus and Philetus.

And.

Salvation that we're used to hearing from

Romans a

was going on and so.

Yet contending and

so that's

thinking of our

Christian

life in

terms of it's just not.

It's looked upon.

Yeah, in fact.

You were constantly hearing today even from many professing conservative

evangelicals, it's not just The backyard of liberalism anymore where ecumenism

is running rampant and people are being excused for

really disturbing heresies that used to be really the exclusive

property of liberalism, but now you have professing conservatives doing it all the time with

Roman Catholicism and Mormonism and other aberrant heretical

Teachings and false Gospels where they are considered brethren.

Just because they are fighting against some moral evils that we oppose with equal

fervor.

But that's a that's a real danger in our day and age, isn't it for?

You know, we used to think that this was something that was just manifesting itself with liberalism.

But it's really in our own in our own backyard now, isn't it?

That's

right.

And no I have not

Affiliation, you know, you know, you know the denomination so you can filter it

out and so

appalling.

Pulled out

only.

Agree.

Just to have just to have you repeat that because I just want to let you know.

You are breaking up a little bit and perhaps when we go to a break you can read Phone in or

something, but you said that.

That a great percentage of evangelicals did not believe that sin.

Warranted any condemnation.

Is that what you said?

That's pretty disturbing.

Their own personal efforts, is that what you said?

Yeah, three quarters of

evangelicals, you know.

That's kind of ironic that they would believe in that heresy because they seem to be more guilty of

The the sin of easy believism and cheap grace, you know, I'm saying they don't even they don't even work

at all let alone.

Yes, and we're gonna go to a break and if you could

Pastor Danny if you could call back so that we could perhaps reconnect with a stronger connection

because you are breaking up and I wouldn't want our listeners to miss a word and We do have some

listeners who are waiting to have their questions asked.

these messages with pastor Danny Hyde and Don't go

away.

Welcome back.

This is Chris Arnson.

If you just tuned us in our guest for the first hour is Pastor Danny Hyde and

we are discussing his soon -to -be printed book Content and yet contending

which is his exposition on the epistle of Jude.

And if you'd like to join us on the air, our email address is Chris Arnson at gmail .com.

Chris Arnson at gmail .com coming up on the second hour Mike Adosh of solid ground Christian books will

be joining us.

We do have a listener and this is from a city in

Wales that I know well because I have met a pastor who is

just retired from there a very well -known pastor Jeff Thomas who was written for banner of truth and

Has is a very well -known theologically reformed conference speaker.

And he taught me how to say this city and I may still be butchering it because it's been a while since

he taught me how to pronounce it correctly, but I think it's Aberystwyth Wales and

Perhaps Mike and Aberystwyth Wales Will correct me if I pronounced it wrong.

But he asks you could you ask Daniel to comment on?

Verse 5 where Jesus is specifically named in the English Standard

Version as the destroyer.

But not in other translations.

I find this to be a very powerful testimony that the deity and sigh and sovereignty and the

power of Christ.

If you could pastor Daniel I'm sorry.

Yes, I can.

Yes, he will yet for some reason you're breaking up again, and I can't figure out why but he asks Why is

it that the ESV specifically?

Names Jesus the destroyer and that's not in any other translations.

Oh.

Sure,

then

there's

also

reading

into

sensuality.

Denier only master

remind you

although you

once fully knew

it that

ends up

with

well.

Thank you, Mike and Mike from and now I remember exactly what?

Jeff Thomas said when he was teaching me how to pronounce it.

He said Aberystwyth said remember rust.

That's what the trick was Mike and Aberystwyth Wales says

my eldest son Chris is a deacon There at Alfred Place Baptist Church in

Aberystwyth where Jeff Thomas was pastoring before he retired and Jeff's grandson

has just been inducted as the new pastor now that Jeff is retired.

And oh and Jeff's wife is very ill.

I did not know about that.

So please pray for the wife of Jess Jeff Thomas former pastor of Alfred Place

Baptist Church in Aberystwyth Wales, thank you for Contacting us Mike.

What would you say? as this.

This epistle was obviously can intended by Jude to be

a The sound of an alarm he was he was basically

Warning the Saints about charlatans and those with evil motives and

teachings Creeping into the church.

What do you think in our day and age? especially when it comes to those who are

theologically reformed or those who are known for Biblical

Orthodoxy, what what would you say that we should be?

Disturbed about and warning others about that.

It's creeping up around our own midst.

Yeah, good people.

Defend

it broken

and

hurting at

least

millennia.

Writing books and we're

gonna see

people

reformed.

Well, you

know,

the Lord has

been

plus

year.

Live our lives.

Yeah, would you say that men like them?

Are.

Mistaken and that they seem to have developed the conclusion that being a pastor is a

right and not a privilege.

It seems that some people think that the church owes them Some kind of a

position of authority just because they have gifts or perhaps well -read learned and in other

Theological camps other than our own it might be just because the guy's a good orator or has

drawn very large crowds or whatever the case may be.

Or.

Claims of miraculous manifestations.

But in our in our camps, it would be more in areas regarding the brain and so on.

You think that's a large part of it is.

They're looking at it as a right rather than a privilege.

Yeah, I think

I mean

there's

website

and some

of the

quotes

out of

context

Romans 11

work.

Amen and.

And when I said amen, I didn't mean that necessarily specifically about you.

What you said.

Regarding us the theologically reformed camp if you will.

You know that we have that interesting phrase that Festus

cried out against Paul.

You are insane Paul.

Your great learning has made you mad or Paul you are out of your mind.

Your great learning is driving you mad.

Obviously, he was very wrong Festus when he said that to the Apostle who was being divinely inspired by the Holy

Spirit.

But do you think sometimes that that could be rightly said of some of our reformed

brethren who really are Digging so deeply

looking for something in the scripture that they're they're they're throwing out the truth with the dirt that they're

digging out and.

They are really inventing things.

Maybe unconsciously, but they're trying to be so meticulous and in perhaps even a

quest to with some kind of an unconsciously Gnostic motivation.

Wanting to be amongst some elite group that has seen something that nobody else sees they're coming up with things.

They're really heretical.

I mean, do you think do you see that amongst folks that would fly under the banner reform?

Yeah.

Cultural

Christ

and

evangelizing I

even

therefore

if it's

important

not.

When

they

walk into.

Yeah, do you

think one of the reasons for that could be?

Especially if you're dealing with those that are from cessationist churches like typically reformed

churches are where the the second coming is Going to be the next

monumental earth -changing miracle that that that is going to

be globally experienced and Since that it hasn't happened yet.

Unlike what our hyper preterist friends say.

That that is what they're focusing on because they're titillated by it.

They're just they just like there are others who Want to

read into the newspaper and the magazines and the internet and the

TV news that the current events are all fulfillments of biblical

prophecy and They like they love the excitement and the adrenaline of being a

part of the unfolding of Revelation if you follow me.

You know, it

comes down to

you know

priority in

the word,

you know.

Or that

blessed

hope another time in

the day

in the hour, you

know the work of.

We have Harrison in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

Who says.

I have heard that the early church Did not know for certain at one point whether

Jude was to be included in the Canon.

And I've also heard Roman Catholics say that Jude proves that the apocryphal books

are a part of the Old Testament canon Since Jude is quoting from it.

You

have any

comment

on

that

as far as

the

Canon

and

and

so

he's

using them

to bring

them

back

around

truth.

Right just like Like you were mentioning in Apostle Paul on Mars Hill, correct.

It was not only quoting from Scripture.

He was bringing about contemporary Extra biblical

teachings and using it to drive home a point, correct.

Right.

And Christians have done that throughout the centuries.

John Calvin quoted Augustine many preachers quotes Charles Adams Spurgeon or J.

Gresham Machen or whoever they're, you know among their heroes of the faith are they you know.

It's just something that's commonly done and it's a very appropriate thing to do.

I.

Would like you to now summarize what you most want etched in the hearts and minds of our listeners today.

Especially in regard to your new exposition on Jude that's coming out content and yet

contending.

Sure,

I think

the same time as

for

Deposited

him in

the near future

with evangelical press.

Well, I

also want to remind our listeners that.

Paul wrote to the church at Galatia for am I now seeking the approval of man or of God?

Or am I trying to please man?

If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Hi, I'm Mark Lukens pastor of Providence Baptist Church.

We are a reformed Baptist Church and we hold to the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689.

We are in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

We strive to reflect Paul's mindset to be much more concerned with how God views what we say and what we do

Than how men view these things.

That's not the best recipe for popularity.

But since that wasn't the Apostles priority, it must not be ours either.

We believe by God's grace that we are called to demonstrate love and compassion to our fellow man and To be

vessels of Christ's mercy to a lost and hurting community around us and to build up the body of Christ in truth.

Welcome back.

This is Chris Arnzen after the longest break in iron sharpens iron history and

We have joining us for the second hour on the program my very first pastor Mike Gadosch who is

founder of Solid ground Christian books and we are going to be learning more about

literary treasures that he has unearthed and brought back to print and It's my honor and privilege to welcome you

back to iron sharpens iron.

Mike Gadosch.

Well, thanks, Chris.

I appreciate you yet again.

I'm very thankful for your ministry and so thankful that the Lord has

Opened the door for you through iron sharpens iron.

I really appreciate that and.

Well, I'm also looking forward to joining you at the G3 conference

in Atlanta, Georgia God -willing a January 19th through the 21st.

And for those of you who have always wanted to see a wide selection of the

the books that are available in print from solid ground Christian books, you're gonna have your opportunity if you go

to the G3 conference because along with myself Mike Gadosch

is going to have an exhibitors booth there with books for sale, correct?

That is correct.

I've been invited personally by the By Josh and he has asked me to

come and I'm excited about the opportunity of being able to work alongside of you.

As we did about a year or so ago when James White was traipsing through northern, Florida.

Yes, and James White will be there too.

He will among other Speakers and I am really excited about this.

I've never been at a conference with this long a roster of speakers and every one

of them worthy of hearing even if they were speaking by themselves, so

Those of you who have not yet registered.

I hope that you do so as soon as possible at g3 conference .com.

G3 conference .com and please mention iron sharpens iron radio when you register as

the resource from where you found out information about the g3 conference and

already I believe we have five or more people

from the iron sharpens iron audience who have confirmed that they are registering or have already

registered and Of course, there could be many more.

Those are the only five that actually specifically Told me contacted me about

50 minus one.

Yeah, right, thanks a lot.

Well 50 % minus one.

Goodbye Mike Gato.

On the broadcast as soon as he heard that you were going to be on the second hour he already left so.

In fact, you may have heard the door of the studio slamming shut.

No, no, I do not have a Co -host in fact Reverend buzz Taylor who you were

used to co -hosting with me quite often.

He has gone back to his full -time employment.

So We may occasionally have visits from buzz as a co -host in the future, but he is

no longer daily.

The co -host as long as he is working full -time anyway.

Well, I as I introduced him at a recent pastors luncheon that I had here in Carlisle

for iron sharpens iron I introduced him and I said That the reason I had him as my co -host is

you have to have a little bit of heresy to keep a program interesting.

But anyway, I understand that you are very enthusiastic about some Books that

you have brought back into print through solid ground Christian books that you wanted to share with our listeners today.

Yeah, the first

thing I

want to mention

a survey of the Old and New Testaments and it was first done

about almost by

James Boyd

and then in addition

to that we also are combining that with 3101 and.

That's a book that would

do a nice third entries of

the car.

But Michael Hagen and Joel Beaky have worked together with Sinclair.

And so the combination of these two gives

you a

nine 275 for the two books.

To get these two is

wonderful.

Redemption every chapter that we

have questions thought

-provoking questions question.

They can be used for

family

worship

beginners at the crew.

And so that would be one

thing that I would.

Their Ferguson wrote the full content of the risen Christ

Conquers Mars Hill by

men from up until

the 20th century.

Twelve of what I felt were the best writers and

hovering on and the

last is Greg Bonson and so you have a real

variety of men.

Men like Cornelius Vanderman Warfield, they're just

a variety of men with people.

Thomas Watts

and

Jonathan Edward Lee J

Adams and some others have criticized Preaching

and some of them haven't I.

When he said that he had determined to know nothing among them.

She had to mean

that Paul defeated and

improvised the gospel and Needed to go back to Lee

preaching preaching the cross.

Really?

I had never heard that before.

I've never heard of an Orthodox biblically sound Christian thinking that Paul made an error in that.

Yeah J Adams, I'm trying to remember what the book was that I read I think it was.

It was a book that was on humble

come to

you with words

altered

upon

the idea

of pagan Poets and it had

second thoughts about that the problem with

opinion and I think he's flat wrong.

Luke gives us Absolutely, no indication way that

he preached didn't have any

misgivings otherwise he wouldn't have included it in the book of Acts to minimize

the converts that

is part of

the Group of the Areopagus.

That one message

trying to be clever or not.

I don't know.

Only one he's not the only one who has Taken those words.

Okay.

Yeah, you can't look at the fact that he was in Athens and he went from Athens to Corinth

Corinthians and he refers to you know, you can you can see how a person could come to

that concluding

anybody.

That.

He would be a criticized in the Apostle Paul, but I did feel like he was

when he did that and I did not feel that.

His.

His argumentation really had any.

Well, here's a newsflash everybody.

The next J Adams book will not be published by.

Yeah, well if it was going to be I think he's probably going to cancel that.

And by the way you.

The funny thing is I have published a J Adams book on be careful how you listen.

Oh from from given to forgiving was a book when you.

Ran Calvary Press that you.

That was a Calvary Press title that I published many many years ago.

So yeah, you're right.

I mean.

But I.

Think

from these 12 men Again from you know,

these giants of the faith and hearing them each

Sajid and apply.

It's quite an experience to go through all 12 of those

and and you've certainly come away.

After he after reading Greg Monson's which was the last of the 12.

You come away with a just a phenomenal appreciation of the

edible wisdom.

He was one of the great thinkers of his day.

But obviously God having set him apart from his mother's womb.

He called him by his grace as Paul says in Galatians 1.

And he called him to be of all things the Apostle to the though he himself

to ever Chris

Mars Hill a

couple years ago.

In fact providentially we were speaking a bit about Mars Hill in the first hour.

One is a

Tony

Miano several times and His book is

a modern 10 years of gospel conversations and

Tony's book is in reviews and

very thankful that I've been able to publish it and get that out for the people to be able to

to see firsthand what it's like to engage people in street preaching and One on one

witness a variety of Tony

has confronted people with the gospel of Christ.

There's another book that

John Wells in

New York

followed the ministry

of the John Wells

Later than that.

I think he his ministry begin.

I think it did begin in the early 1850s so that probably was a small overlap, but John

Wells

He he wasn't a chaplain.

You might think he was a chaplain because of the book that he wrote and the subject that it

covers.

But he was a pastor.

He was the past he happened to have a and

the book a

book the

lecture in the

1890s he delivered these lectures to

come and speak to the students.

He himself had been a in

40s and he had

had such a phenomenal ministry.

In Brooklyn, he was also in Brooklyn, New York, which is and John Wells

Brought these lectures and they're

just absolutely phenomenal.

There's

between

the sick salvation possible and in

many cases probable on the

deathbed that may be made of

their begging

him 93 and To my knowledge did not

appear again on

200 years.

Well, the pastor in the sick room is subtitled

ministering the gospel to those on the brink of eternity.

Praise God and By the way, maybe you didn't even know this but

Sinclair Ferguson is coming to Grace Baptist Church of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

To conduct a Reformation conference with Mark Johnston who is from Ireland

he's originally from Northern Ireland and Sinclair Ferguson who is back in Scotland who

they are going to be preaching at Grace Baptist Church in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where I am a member and

That's going to be Thursday October 27th 7 to 9 p .m.

It's absolutely free of charge and for more details go to Grace Baptist

Carlisle org and Carlisle is spelt c a r l i s l e.

attend that.

So we look forward to seeing you and now that is that just one night that they're doing that

yeah, they Remember the good old days of

Grace Reform Baptist Church in Merrick Long Island when we'd have like the whole weekend for conferences.

But yeah, this is just a.

This is just a one -day conference on Thursday, October 27th, I

wish I could.

We do have a listener in Mastic

Beach, Long Island, New York who says oh this is Tyler from Mastic Beach, Long Island, New York.

Who I understand is also a customer of solid ground Christian books.

He says do we as Reformed Christians tend to be biased with reading for example.

Not reading other men such as Leonard Ravenhill or a W Tozer.

We can do well.

I think that's an individual thing.

I.

Would think I think he's saying that as a critique that we sometimes shy away from non

-reformed people to read.

Yeah, I think I think some do I I think it's I

Think it would be wise to read you

better if Mac Tomlinson is is listening.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, he's written actually his his biography that he wrote is

actually I think

he's working on possibly doing that in a paperback.

Net of eternity is now out of he

is as I said, he is beginning to work on doing a new

printing of that in I.

You know, that's that's just something that that we need To be aware of.

I would agree that there is a day of limiting our reading and

and not being Not being sensitive as used men

Who would not be considered reformed has used them to? extend the kingdom missionaries

and others Who we would not necessarily agree with in all things and yet have said some very

very good thing.

Holy is is an excellent book Even though his champ

yet Nonetheless, it's a

very worshipful book and a book that would be very worthy to be read.

In simple answers the question of the.

Yeah, I would agree with him.

I think limiting our reading only to one form because we read for

several different reasons and And sometimes we can read books Even

if we wouldn't be

persuaded.

Well, thanks Tyler and we're going to our final break of the day.

Christian books.

Their website is solid dash ground dash books calm solid dash ground

dash books calm and we do have a listener Pastor Tom at

in Big Spring, Texas says Mike.

It was great to see you last week in Mansfield.

Here's a question for you Will you be able to offer the works of John Owen

again in the future?

Oh, well, I'd be able to certainly available

many different.

I will be able to.

I do.

Know who Tom is.

I'm very thankful for Tom's ministry in many ways.

We were a couple times there

and Thomas is Dear friend.

Yeah, I would just say sometime in the future but not right.

Well, thanks Tom and I don't think that he would mind me giving his full name because he is a pastor.

That was Tom Lasseter of Crestview Baptist Church in Big Spring,

Texas.

And I don't know any other contact information other than if you want to look him up on Facebook but

thank you very much for joining us on the program with a question and comment and

By the way, we heard during the first hour.

I don't know how much you heard of the first hour of the program, but we heard from a member of

The church where Jeff Thomas pastored for so many years.

He emailed us from Aberystwyth Wales.

And.

If you want to if you want to continue digging into these treasures that you've unearthed.

Yes, I have another one that I wanted to point out.

But I've

not really spoken about

before funeral messages

and some of the men whose

messages are three John

Thomas, Bynie, Cannon, H .P. Lytton, Theodore Kyle,

some of the others here, Edward Beecher.

William.

J .R. McDuff.

A whole variety of people and

there are

pages in old age.

Some in middle age some in youth and then even some

messages.

Really a wonderful wonderful volume.

In terms of being able to both comfort the bereaved which to be able

to see how down through the ages from the time of the pure

late 1800 ministers of

actual funeral addresses.

Another one is called the light at evening time.

And this is a book that is becoming more and more appropriate for me.

Soon for you as well Chris.

It's called the light at evening time a book of support and comfort for the ages.

Did by Stanford Hall.

Light at evening time is just a wonderful wonderful volume of

Large print which is nice for the elderly.

Large print messages by men such as J .W. Alexander

J .R. McDuff dear friend of

Harvey Light in

Hamilton.

And many of them are very short readings because obviously as people get older

They sometimes find it more difficult to concentrate for long periods of time.

Many of these readings are only a page or two long.

Wise counsel for the aged.

Dr. Beeky spoke of the book and said it is a practical handbook that provides biblical counsel

on virtually every area That concerns the elderly.

Written by the cream.

Formed for best standing collection of treasures for

those facing the challenges of their senior years.

Seniors would profit greatly by reading it once a year and That's called light

at evening time and speaking of cream.

I understand that if you order now for a limited time only you'll get a free jar of blue

emu arthritis cream.

That would be nice to get free a free bottle of blue emu.

You have to talk to Johnny Finch about that.

I.

Just saw a commercial with him holding five or seven hamburgers with one hand.

But anyway, another volume is a volume that

you've had George Grant on fairly recently and I know George is very excited.

Some work that he's doing on Thomas Chalmers and.

And I have published the Sabbath scripture readings of Thomas Chalmers.

And I have the two volumes one is the entire New Testament.

They're called spiritual meditations on every chapter in the New Testament.

And what he did is he actually wrote these on the Sabbath afternoons and they're basically

Worshipful.

He went through each chapter.

He would write some comments and then he would always end in a prayer and the prayer always.

Focused on the particular stir for instance in

Matthew 11.

He concludes here of all grace into a

compliance with his blessed invitation.

So that I may find rest unto my soul.

Oh for his meekness and upon me

for there is a yoke.

Which is disciples must and do come under a burden which they all take upon them.

Easy and light.

Because of that love which both serves and such enables us to

overcome and in virtue of which the commandments are not grievous.

May I so come Lord Jesus.

And so that's how he concludes the Matthew 11.

Metta tap you one to Revelation chapter 22

entitled Sabbath is

called Sabbath in Genesis 1 and I

believe it goes 11 and.

Can you guess why he stopped at 2nd Kings 11?

Why is that?

He died.

Wow.

Yeah, Wow.

Because he died he couldn't write anymore.

So 11 and it was only death that's

in before he died.

But that was that was the end of the Sabbath scripture readings, but he did.

Now you did have him on fairly recently, right?

Yes, and I'm having him back again next Thursday a week from tomorrow.

Okay, great.

Well, I'm sure he'll be talking about Charles because it's hard for him.

It's hard to talk to him for 20 minutes without he's

he's really immersed himself in the writings of Chalmers and in his life and He's got some

things that he's working on that.

I'm into print a Couple of other

volumes that

into life again.

I believe you have a copy of the book the still hour by Austin Phelps.

Yes, subtitled communion with God in prayer.

Joe Beeky said concerning this book comforting convicting and

can read to stir up his or her sluggish soul and Lay hold of God

afresh by means of biblical heart.

Tom Lasseter and a couple of other people were sharing with me about They're reading that

books an

amazing book on prairie.

He covers subjects in the book that are just not the kind of subjects you would expect

To cover he covers such things as indolence and for

not all negative like that, but but he even has such a thing as unhallowed prayer

district as well as romance

and temperament of prayer continuance in prayer the reality

of Christ in prayer and then modern habits of prayer and It really is a very

encouraging and then a second book

which is much much lesser known but both

studies of the Old Testament of the Old

Testament for all ages and I think the book

itself is marvelous but the very last chapter is worth the price of the book

and it's entitled Christ and

The passage that he quote that he's teaching on from for that is Daniel chapter 7 13 and 14.

I saw in the night visions of behold one like the Son of Man Came with the clouds of heaven and came to the ancient of

days and they brought him near before him and there was given him Dominion and glory and a kingdom

that all people nations and languages should serve him.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away in his kingdom that which will not be

destroyed.

Well this marvelous book on the the centrality of Christ.

By the way before I forget I do want to announce that one of your authors That you mentioned today Tony Miano,

he is going to be on the program this Monday October 3rd God willing 4 to 6 p .m and I

do want to give another shout out to pastor pastor Tom Lasseter of

Crestview Baptist Church in Big Spring, Texas.

Since you are a first -time Questioner to iron sharpens iron you are getting a free

New American Standard Bible a really beautiful.

Not.

Quite a pocket -sized edition but a one that is small enough to carry around very easily and

maybe a coat pocket or a Briefcase or a woman can easily carry it in her purse

and as a beautiful embossed cross on the cover.

And if you give me your full mailing address pastor Tom I will have that shipped out to you.

Compliments of our friends who publish the New American Standard Bible and also Compliments

of Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service who are actually mailing it to you at no charge to iron sharpens iron and

Cumberland Valley Bible Book Services website is CV BBS calm CV for Cumberland

Valley BBS for Bible book service calm.

So thank you very much again pastor Tom, but I'm sorry there Mike I interrupted you there.

Information in case he just is not listening at the moment.

So if you need me to give that to you I've got that as well.

That's great, very faithful customers bought many many books of mine and.

He just you know bought a bunch more while he was at

the conference

field.

Another book would be I think Encouraging to your

listeners is Of books that I published

Entitled the American Track Society.

You're familiar with those right?

Yes I did a six volume set of the American

Track Society and there are some 30 some tracks per volume and there are

six volumes that are.

The amazing thing is that some of these tracks that are found like for instance in in volume one

there's a track on family worship that was written by and.

These tracks some of these tracks for some some for as much as

twenty five and thirty dollars just for one tracked and.

And I now have brought together six volumes of tracks.

Six volumes of tracks each volume is about

Three almost four hundred pages and the entire set of

six I'm selling right now for $365 which is Considering they're

selling the individual tracks.

There may be 30 or 40 tracks per volume and some people are selling the individual tracks for $20 apiece

so needless to say.

The offer that I am

of the greatest tracks ever written are contained in these John Flavel on keeping the heart

remembering the Sabbath panion or help of

self -examination.

It's one of the most famous of all lay Richmond's the dairyman's daughter Hannah Moore the

Shepherd of Salisbury Plain Richard Cecil's a friendly visit to the house of mourning

Robert Hall on the work of the Holy Spirit.

It's just it's just on and on and on.

It's the some of the greatest authors ever are found in here.

Divine songs for children by Isaac Watts parental

duties and parental examples.

Who this anonymous was but man was he brilliant?

He wrote some of the best.

They actually are some of the best things I've ever read.

I wish we knew who it was that wrote but but a lot of the a lot of the tracks of the American Track Society

volumes.

They don't have the names of the authors the ones that do you know the fact

that they do have many of them.

Several of them are on the Sabbath the role of the Sabbath in the Christians life they have the

interpreters house from Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan and again to

mourners by John Flavel Thomas Goodwin growth in grace on

Purifying the heart by time.

So again, just some of the the greatest authors Christian

authors and they have some of their best tracks and nice thing is most of them are eight eight to twelve

pages long some even shorter.

Very few of them are much longer than twelve pages.

So It's it's just a tremendous volume tremendous.

I'm Very thankful that I was able to get these back into print.

Joel Beeky once again said.

These publications are of enduring and superlative quality that represent the cream of the best writers in the

Reformed world From the 16th to the 19th centuries such as John Flavel Jonathan Edwards

Archibald Alexander Almost without exception these tracks which range from 4 to 48 pages

each and cover a remarkable variety of subjects interface biblical Doctrinal and

experiential material and practically helpful ways.

Having often perused these lines in my own study with considerable profit for nearly four decades

for bringing them back into print.

Once again, here is truly a case where the old.

We have a listener Aaron in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Who's asks?

What to you is your?

Favorite discovery of a virtually Unknown author at

least unknown to a 21st century audience.

I.

Would

say without

doubt.

And

Steve

I finally got around to reading the photocopy that couldn't put it

down and immediately determined that I was going without doubt.

That would be the one Ichabod Spencer's the one

that behind them would be

the the

authors of

Gallaudet Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet

three those from Thomas Hopkins

Unsurpassed and the Lord has used them in just mighty mighty ways.

And Aaron if you give me your full mailing address and

see.

You're also a very first -time Questioner.

I'll mail you out a free copy of the New American Standard Bible compliments of the publishers of the NASB.

And it'll be shipped out to you compliments of CV BBS comm Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service.

And I would like to also add a name that I never heard of before.

You Republished a couple of his books and that's Stephen Ting.

All right, Stephen Ting is another one that.

That the Lord has.

Stephen Ting I think that you if I'm less I'm thinking of

somebody else.

I think that you found it just at an antique bookstore or something that he wrote but I could be wrong.

I think no, I think you're right.

I think that it was it was that and and I don't remember this.

I know I think the first book that I had published by him was lectures on the law and the gospel.

That is an amazing book pastor Earl Blackburn to give out

and he just said he has said to me many times that

It is by far on the law and the car

on the law and then the last 12 These were just message

and they really are brilliant.

Isn't it?

I.

Can't remember if I did I give those to you at a real good price.

Yes.

You get you sold them to me at a very good price and I gave them out to every Pastor.

A number of years ago when I was still on Long Island I gave them to each pastor that attended my

Christmas luncheon or.

Lectures that he delivered at the Boston School of Theology back in 1873 and

He at the time 50 years

at that time and I think his students urged him to put those in book form, right?

Yes.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, he got he just like with Wells with David

Wells and

men like him are

usually a quite a.

Refreshing surprise to those who never knew that there were biblically sound

Anglicans and Episcopalians because today when we look around us the majority are either

archliberals or Romanists and.

And I do say that with you know.

With the caveat that there are some very good men of God out there still within the Anglican and

the Episcopal Church.

In fact, I'm hoping to have Roger Salter on the program very soon.

Who's a friend of yours in the traditional Anglican Church.

One last book I'd like to feature today's

devotional thoughts of eminent divines from WB

Sprague

hold out of the writings of numerous

men and Jeremy Taylor William Bates

John Flavel on Matthew Henry Thomas

Wilson Stephen Sharnock John Howe Ezekiel Hopkins Thomas Kent and what he did is he

he called Just shorter comments by these men on a variety of

subjects.

It's again one of those books that you can just open anywhere and just read a

parody devotional Paul to William J and.

We are out of time and the website if you care to order that book or any other book by solid ground Christian books is
