June 16, 2022 Show with Dr. Joe Morecraft on “Books That Changed My Life”

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 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.

Good Afternoon. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Lake City, Florida. And the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth. We're 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 Thursday on the 16th day of June 2022 and I am thrilled to have as a returning guest somebody who is Obviously one of my very favorite guests to interview. That has made quite palpably evident from the numerous times that I interview this brother and In fact my opinion has been echoed very loudly by a growing number of my listeners.

I'm speaking of dr. Joseph C. Moore craft the third who is an author and Also the pastor at Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia and today we are going to address books that changed his life.

It's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron sharpens iron radio. Dr. Joe Moore craft well as always especially for the sake of those who have Not heard you on the program before and if that's the case they must be new listeners.

Due to the frequency with which I interview you or but tell our listeners about Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

Well, if anybody wants more details about Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

Visit heritagepresbyterianchurch .com Heritage Presbyterian Church dot-com and today we are addressing a theme that you Very strongly enthusiastically Recommended to me books that changed your life. And Perhaps it might be a good idea to start with two extreme views on the use of books.

Non-canonical. Canonical books those books that are extra biblical. They're not a part of God's.

God-breathed.

Canon. On one end of the spectrum you have those who? to the serious neglect of the Holy Scriptures Spend the vast majority if not The entirety of their reading time focused on Those that are not God-breathed books those that are Even the great works of theologians of the past and of the present.

And you have those on the other end of the spectrum who have a I believe a false piety And a misguided Adherence To the truth of solo script Torah, but they twist that Into something that might be rightly named solo script Torah in other words.

They They think that we should not be wasting our times reading Any books outside the Bible and yet ironically these same people are likely members of churches Where they listen to sermons every Sunday and those words coming from the pulpit are not the identical words from the God-breathed Canon, so you have a bit of hypocrisy there, but if you could tell us what the your Biblically informed opinion would be the correct balance somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

I like what Spurgeon would make your home in the back and I met and Matthew Henry Said something similar on the other hand is the power of God and that preach and be written. I Can be stirred by solid preachers in the pulpit who's preaching the Word of God?

And I can be stirred by mighty men of God who Wrote down in black and white what they would have preached on and probably did but we can't put understand how to apply my church membership. We need the fellowship of believers and we need.

But I made it profession of faith when I was 11 my family was just nominal and I went forward in a revival serapine Church, but it was a fundamentalist presbyterian Church and the pastor was a godly man and He took me under his wing.

But I met and I read the Bible all the time reading Destination. Wow. A presbyterian preacher that you've never heard speak on predestination. That's yes, sir. Quite an anomaly. Yes, sir. This catechism went down to the local.

I don't. I wanted to get two books. I had nobody to guide me get some books to read.

That was just a providential occurrence that you bought those books without any knowledge about the authors.

I had nobody guiding me. Wow. I didn't know what I was doing I just wanted to get to leave. Optional things you had to believe. But he convinced me That these were right at the heart of the Bible. I'd never realized that he taught me about the depravity of man.

Should not based upon any decisions we make the fact that one is limited to those that Christ that God's grace is irresistible and That it is invincible, there's the saints that once I want somebody's really converted God keeps them in a way of holiness.

So that book and Arthur pink made a great impact on me, but so did the same time Lorraine Bettner's book.

The reformed doctor of predestination. Yes, Lorraine Bettner. I've often said is my favorite female author. And Meredith Klein is a second runner.

But what that was helpful to me was to see but also great about Arthur painted God is. They're not written, but they're not written. He can't about the Word of God. Those ones in Southwest. I loved reading about Calvinism and the reformed faith.

But I didn't think it was supposed to influence. Your ministry wouldn't give altar call see that Calvinism was a serious. I was pastoring in this small little church. I Had the opportunity and there were some books that I began to as a whole way of looking.

It wasn't a paper bag where you're reaching the paper bag. And you pull out some doctrines to talk about they have woven together knit together. One Unseparably bound to the other and through these doctrines you have a whole world view.

And then I read some books during that period of time. That showed me that it was not just they were not just theological. It was a whole way of looking at life and living life. It was a the reformed faith taught you how to apply the Bible to every area of life and.

So the books that did that to me in 19th in this small little church, oh, yeah The Institutes of biblical and this was the first edition of his book and I just couldn't believe it in my life and the man that Showed I didn't know what the other book.

In fact, I know that my former pastor.

When he Was running a Calvary Press publishing. That was eventually sold by another friend of mine. Joe. It was sold to another friend of mine Joe Bianchi in Greenville, South Carolina but while pastor Gaydosh was operating Calvary Press He created a book Where he gathered together writings by Warfield on the Holy Spirit and he titled the book the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

Okay, great is a chapter by Warfield in his book. No life of our I'm emotionally Emotional as another chapter that I and this is in a book called bit because he goes through Paul's letters and shows prophesied about the future Both at the second coming of Christ after the second coming of Christ and but so I can't say enough good things About Benjamin Warfield.

Now understand while I'm saying all these that there's only one infallible, but I'm not. I don't want to imply That I agree with everything like I agree with the Bible.

Amen, and I Have a favorite quote of my own by Spurgeon that is heard every single day and my show that is included in the ad for solid ground Christian books one of our most significant sponsors when the quote by Spurgeon is He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains Proves that he has no brains of his home.

Because the danger of Saying I am just going to read my Bible. In fact, there are people I have met people that I know who don't even Worship the Lord in his gathered assembly anymore because they think so highly of their own intellect and their own grasp of the scriptures that they just Devote their lives to private study of the Bible and they don't go to church.

They don't read The writings of great men of history that there is really a very serious and dangerous evidence there of Pride and thinking more highly one more highly of oneself than than you should and that's how false.

Yes.

Amen.

And we're gonna have to go to our first break right now. If anybody would like to join us with a question of your own. For dr. Joseph C. Moore craft the third.

This is Chris Sarnes and if he just tuned us in. Our guest today is dr. Joseph C. Moore craft the third author and Pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia. We are talking about books that changed Dr. Moore crafts life and that I can more craft if you could pick up where you left off.

Well before I met your mountains. But I want to go back to some more. And that he did not just read he's got books on side. That is one of my favorite of the early church and explain. But it is also one of the most important books in my library and I think it has about a hundred hardback.

And it's called of every great man named Terry illness. And it is on the spread not only given away time after time after time. I have read that book over and over and in fact, I have been around the guys GUISE of every graceless heart but there was another man back in those days a very young man in his 20s I read I think what's called a draft copy of his book.

That is it was not bound. It was just sheets of paper in a box. His name is before it was actually published. His name was Greg Monson. He died prematurely in his 40s and His book was called theonomy and Christian ethics.

Theonomy is made up of two and it's pretty heady stuff. So Gary North had him on into a paper by this standard. It is not written for seminarians though. It's it is written. It's not just on law. It's on covenant.

It's on doctrine. It's on justification. It's on politics. It is a great little book and in many ways. Easier to read than rushed any in fact. Those two men rushed in you have influenced me more than any other living human and I can't recommend their books.

By this amplification I should say of his earlier book theonomy and Christian ethics and spank a new pastor and Didn't get everybody everything right. I still don't about ministry. Well, you never stop.

I think I'm reporting a living that needs to be reformed by the Word of God.

So you're talking about Semper Reformata. I am assuming. Yes, sir.

And so, I mean I was 78 years old and I don't think else but up and that is and This is not feed. I get a book the Bible likely. He said I not only like to read the books that they very very wise counsel.

Thanks, I took a commentary on the book of Leviticus. A man named Sam's. Reading a book chapter much. Oh, that was one of the most of it occurs. You wouldn't think the Leviticus would be that exciting.

I taught a Year-long study on Leviticus one time and the title of the study was most boring book in the Bible. But of course I was being facetious if you could find the book I don't know if it's still in print extra that led me to point the text is big.

So my reading has come in waves. I don't read just one right here by my chair. I do love to read one of the first Patrick Henry. It was a woman that wrote the biography and I think her name is Campbell.

I'm Patrick Henry is one of the great American history a Devout Calvinist, but in fact most I love to ask people. It's in the rotunda of the Capitol and so I take great delight in telling them it was Patrick Henry.

The Patrick Henry was the governor of Illinois when Illinois was a county in Virginia. Patient by the federal is even a better cost and in fact most states outlawed the slave 61 in fact pick up on the.

Constitution of 1861 when we return from our midway break. And folks, please be patient with us. This is the longer-than-normal break in the middle of the show because Grace Life Radio 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida requires of us a longer break in the middle of the show Because the FCC requires of them To air their own public service announcements and other things that localize iron truck and Zion radio geographically to Lake City, Florida.
