January 12, 2021 Show with Dr. Joe Morecraft on “How Can We Know if America is Under God’s Judgment?”

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.

America Under God's Judgment

Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida, and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth who are listening via live streaming at IronSharpensIronRadio .com. This is Chris Arnzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, wishing you all a happy Tuesday on this 12th day of January, 2021.

And I can tell you, without exaggeration, I believe that the question that I am most frequently asked these days, predominantly by other Christians, probably right next to, Why are you wearing that shirt with those pants?

I happen to be colorblind, folks. The most frequently asked question I hear is, Do you think that we're under the judgment of God in America? And today we're going to be addressing the theme, How can we know if America is under God's judgment?

Gleanings from Isaiah, Chapter 3, with a very dear friend, a faithful financial supporter, and also spiritual encourager of me and Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Dr. Joe Morecraft, one of my favorite guests to interview on this program.

And from what I have been hearing from listeners, he happens to be one of the favorite guests of a growing number of people in the Iron Sharpens Iron Radio audience. He is an author. He is a pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

And it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Dr. Joe Morecraft. I'm going to right away give our listeners our email address if they have questions that they want to ask on, How can we know if America is under God's judgment?

The email address is chrisarnson at gmail .com. Chrisarnson at gmail .com. As always, give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

Please only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter. And before we go into the theme, Dr. Morecraft, please let our listeners know, especially for the sake of those who have never heard you on this show before, let our listeners know about Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

Our church is... And if anybody would like more information on Heritage Presbyterian Church of Cumming, Georgia, you can go to heritagepresbyterianchurch .com. Heritagepresbyterianchurch .com. Well, Dr. Morecraft, people have said, Christians that is, Christians who are very often, but not always, from our theological camp of being Reformed, whether Presbyterian or Reformed Baptist, but I've also heard this from fundamentalists and others, that we are under the judgment of God.

In fact, I've been hearing this nearly all of my life as a Christian, that America is under God's judgment. People have often said, perhaps most especially those that are outside of the Reformed faith, if they are indeed conservative Bible believers, but happen to be Arminian or something else, they have frequently said things like, the rampant abortion in America is going to bring us under the judgment of God.

The rampant homosexuality in this country is going to bring us under the judgment of God. And you could go on and on and on with the list of the damnable beliefs and practices that flourish in this nation, where people have said, this will bring us under the judgment of God.

And very often, a Reformed response to that is, no, that is a sign we are already under the judgment of God. But if you could pick up where I just left off, why it is you wanted to address this subject today.

The whole word of God. And in turn, it's about, oh, I know it. And in part, well, confusion. Today, we live in a culture that's trying about our past on purpose, and revising the history of the United States into something it never was.

And it says, now, I like movies sometimes. I don't want to pay to see real life movies. I don't go see where the bad guys go. And they display their sin like Sodom. They don't even conceal it. Now, you can't, sin like Sodom.

Now, Isaiah could have used any city in the world. Sin like the cities of Assyria. Or like the cities of Babylon. Fault in area, men, women, and children. Sexuality is the burning out of man. And it's a sign, says Romans 1 and 18, and following, that God has abandoned the culture.

So he's looking at this apostate church and state and nation, and he says, you are Sodom now. I'm going to treat you like Sodom. You act like my enemy, the Lord says, in effect.

In fact, we're going to pick up right on Isaiah chapter 3, verse 10, when we come back from our first break. And if anybody would like to join us on the air, whether you agree or disagree with our guest, please give us at least your first name, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence, if you live outside the USA.

Please only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal or private matter. That's chrisarnsen at gmail .com. C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. Don't go away. We'll be right back with Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III after these messages from our sponsors.

Love, Judgment, and the Meaning of Christian Charity

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.

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 goat skin, tanned in Italy used for my Nessie Olin 28th edition, with a navy blue goat skin inside liner and the electric blue goat skin 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 PTL BibleRebinding .com. That's PTL.

BibleRebinding .com. Welcome back! This is Chris Arnzen. If you just tuned us in, our guest today for the full two hours is Joe Moorcraft. We've got about less than 90 minutes to go. Joe Moorcraft is the pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia.

We are discussing the very timely and very important theme that should be in the minds of every Christian. How can we know if America is under God's judgment? Gleanings from Isaiah 3. If you'd like to join us on the air with a question of your own, our email address is ChrisArnzen at gmail .com.

ChrisArnzen at gmail .com. And if you could, before we go to any listener questions, Dr. Moorcraft, if you could please pick up where you left off in verse 10 of Isaiah chapter 3.

There are, this person is someone whom God has declared and who has been empowered and God's going to legislation. Great little book, all of it in Dutch, but he did write one little paperback that's been translated into English called Unbelief and Revolution.

And he's explaining the French Revolution of 1789.

Love, True Charity, and Sexual Sin

Praise God. Let me go to one of our listener questions. We have Annie in Columbus, Georgia who I believe may be a.

First-time questioner. I'll bet you that she's red-headed. And I'll bet you she's my daughter. But anyway.

Well Annie, guess what? Since you're a first-time questioner also, you're going to win, or you have won, a free New American Standard Bible. So make sure that I have your full mailing address so that CVBBS .com Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service can ship that Bible out to you.

And we want to thank the publishers of the NASB and CVBBS .com as well for making this Bible to Annie in Columbus, Georgia possible. But Annie asks, what about verses like, they will know we are Christians by our love?

Spencer Tracy. Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy.

The law of God that we love another person when we treat... In fact, we have to pick up.

Where you left off on love, what true love is. When we come back from our midway break. And folks, this is just to remind you the longer break that we have in the show because Grace Life Radio, 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida, who airs this show twice a day in a pre-recorded format, they require of us a longer break because they air their own public service announcements and other local things that localize Iron Sharpens Iron Radio to Lake City, Florida, which is a requirement of the FCC.

So, while they do that, while they air their local announcements and so on, we simultaneously air our globally heard commercials. So, I ask you to use this time wisely. Please write down as much of the information as possible that is provided by our advertisers so that you can more frequently patronize them and successfully patronize them.

And that, in turn, will make our advertisers, God willing, want to remain our advertisers. And that, subsequently, God willing, will mean that Iron Sharpens Iron Radio will remain on the air for a longer future because we absolutely positively rely upon, depend upon the finances that come in through our advertisers in order to exist.

So, please patronize them when you can. Purchase their products. Use their services. Visit their churches. When you can't do those things, please just reach out to them to thank them for sponsoring Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

And that's why you should write down their information. Also use this time to write down questions for Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III on our theme, How Can We Know If America Is Under God's Judgment? Cleanings from Isaiah 3.

And because Dr. Moorcraft is a theologian, a scholar, and a pastor, we will permit you to ask questions on a broader scope of issues, even pastoral, if you wish. But our primary theme is, How Can We Know If America Is Under God's Judgment?

It's chrisarnson at gmail .com. Chrisarnson at gmail .com. Don't go away, God willing. We will be right back after these messages from our sponsors.

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 or present you can unearth from Solid Ground.

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

And don't forget folks that solid-ground-books .com is a vital, a primary, a premier sponsor of this broadcast. Without them, without their financial support through their advertising campaigns, we would likely not be able to exist barring a miracle from God.

But, they continue to sponsor us, and we thank God that they continue to get a business from you, the listeners. Many of you have purchased frequently from them and have told them that you heard about them from Chris Arnz and Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

I thank you all from the very bottom of my heart. I ask of you to please continue to do that, and for those of you who have not yet done it, please begin by going to solid-ground-books .com, solid-ground-books .com, a purchase frequently and purchased generously, not only for yourself, to replenish your own library and for your own edification, but also to benefit and bless the lives of others through the gifts that you can purchase, the finest in Christian literature at solid-ground-books .com.

Please remember to purchase gifts for those you love, not only that are already your brothers and sisters in Christ, but also the lost that you know, because God very frequently uses biblically sound books, when in the hands of lost folk, He very often uses books that are biblically faithful to draw these people to Himself and to save them.

So we ask of you to remember the lost as well as the saved when you're purchasing books from solid-ground-books .com. Please always remember to tell them that you heard about them from Chris Arnz and Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

We have just a couple more announcements to make before we return to our discussion with Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III. First of all, I want to let our listeners know that we've got Doug Wilson coming back to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, and this is largely because of an article that my guest today, Dr. Joseph C. Moorcraft III, his wife Becky, urged me to read an article by Douglas Wilson, a recent blog article, and it was because of that contact from Dr. Moorcraft's wife that I contacted Doug Wilson and said, can you be on the show to discuss the gods of civil unrest and Jesus mobs?

And so Doug Wilson has agreed to be my guest on Wednesday the 20th of January. I think I may have given a wrong date when I made this announcement yesterday, so this is the right date. I'm looking right at the calendar.

Wednesday, the 20th of January, here on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Doug Wilson returns to talk about the gods of civil unrest and Jesus mobs. Also, folks, if you have ever heard of a really powerful, profound, dynamic, biblically faithful and courageous preacher, teacher, and apologist, Vodie Baucom, I hope that you join me.

In fact, even if you don't know who he is, I hope that you join me because you will discover what a gift to the body of Christ he is. If you join me on Thursday, January 28th from 8 a .m. until 12 noon, he is going to be speaking in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania.

I will be there manning an Iron Sharpens Iron Radio exhibitor's booth, and I hope that you register for this very important event where Vodie Baucom will be exposing and refuting the heresies of critical race theory.

And we thank God that a black brother like Dr. Baucom is willing to risk even his relationships and friendships with some other black folks in the Christian world who are pastors and authors and well-known speakers.

Some of them are very upset with Vodie for his strong stances against the heresies of critical race theory and the woke movement, and I applaud him and I thank God for him for taking this stance and so articulately and biblically refuting these heresies, these dangerous heresies that are consuming the world and beginning to consume the Church.

Thankfully, we know that it will not completely consume the Church because of the promises of God for the Church. So if you could join me Thursday, January 28th, 8 a .m. to 12 noon in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, and if you would like more details on registering, you can email the pastor who's actually orchestrating and hosting this event.

His name is Jacob Tanner, and you can email him at jacob at mountbethelmcclure, that's mountbethelmcclure .com, m-t-b-e-t-h-e-l-m-c-c-l-u-r-e .com, jacob at m-t-b-e-t-h-e-l-m-c-c-l-u-r-e .com, or you can just email me, chrisarnson at gmail .com, chrisarnson at gmail .com, and I'll make sure that Pastor Jacob Tanner gets your request for registration information.

I hope to see you there Thursday, January 28th, 8 a .m. to 12 noon in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania. Also folks, if you love this show, and I know that many of you do, because we have between 30 ,000 and 40 ,000 people on average downloading the recordings every single month.

So if you love this show, I'm urging you, I'm pleading with you, please help us financially to exist. We are in a really dangerous, precarious situation financially because of the fact that the hysteria associated with the coronavirus pandemic has really hurt a lot of people's businesses and livelihoods in the Iron Trip and Zion Radio audience.

People have cut back or cut out donating to us. People have cut back or cut out advertising with us because they have been hurt so badly. So if you are financially able, please help us. If you love the show, if you don't want us to disappear, if you take advantage of this program and the wonderful guests that I interview and the themes and topics that we address, a really wide spectrum of guests and topics, please help us.

Go to irontripandzionradio .com, click support, then click click to donate now. You can donate instantly with a debit or credit card by doing that. If you prefer advertising, send me an email to chrisarnsen at gmail .com and put advertising in the subject line.

As long as whatever it is you are promoting is compatible with what I believe, I would be more than happy, more than thrilled to help you launch an ad campaign because we are in urgent need of your advertising dollars.

Also, please remember, I don't want folks siphoning money away from their regular giving to their own local church that they are accustomed to giving to their church in order to give to Iron Trip and Zion Radio.

In other words, don't punish your church financially by blessing Iron Trip and Zion Radio financially. Also, please don't put your family in financial peril, in jeopardy if you are really struggling to survive by giving to Iron Trip and Zion Radio.

Those are two things that are commands of Scripture providing for your church and your family. Providing for my radio show is obviously not a command of Scripture. But, if you love the show, you benefit from it, you don't want it to disappear, and you are financially blessed above and beyond your ability to provide for your church and family, then please help us.
