Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It's iron sharpens iron. This is a radio platform in which pastors Christian scholars and theologians Address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Proverbs chapter 27 verse 17 tells us. Iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage We are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have in view in conversation To make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours. And we hope to hear from you the listener with your own questions, and now here's your host Chris Arnzen.

Good afternoon Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Lake City, Florida. And the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth. 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 Monday on this 19th day of August 2019. And when I think about how many years I've known my guest today I am shocked that this is the first time I'm ever interviewing him. His name is Alan Dunn and he is pastor of Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey.

He's also an author and we're going to be discussing his book today gospel intimacy in a godly marriage. We're also going to be Discussing an upcoming couples conference that pastor Alan Dunn is leading at Trinity Baptist Church in Montville, New Jersey and it is my honor and privilege to welcome you for the very first time ever to iron sharpens iron radio pastor Alan Dunn.

Thank You Chris, I really appreciate the opportunity to be with you today. Yes.

I have very fond memories of the very first time I ever heard you preach in the 1980s the late 1980s when You were invited by my pastor Mike Adosh to conduct a conference at Calvary Baptist Church of Amityville, Long Island, New York.

The church where I was saved the church where I was baptized the church where I actually was married to my late wife there and That church for our listeners information is now Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Long Island located in Merrick after a merger that Calvary Baptist Church in Amityville had.

But I remember you had a phenomenal conference on the tongue and Even to this day I will occasionally contact Grace Reformed Baptist Church's sermon archive. There the recording department of. They used to call it the tape room I don't know if they still call it the tape room because nobody uses tapes, but that.

But I have ordered those sets of that. Series of messages you gave on the tongue. That was a really extraordinary conference.

Well, you're very kind. It certainly is a subject of immediate relevance to. Oh, yeah.

Definitely and by the way, I will hopefully remember To announce to you who are listening the contact information for Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Long Island. So if you are interested in ordering that series of messages, I'm fairly confident they still have them because it wasn't that long ago that I ordered a set to give to someone.

But Before we get into your personal Testimony of salvation, which is a tradition we have here on Iron Trip and Zion radio whenever we have a first-time guest on Tell our listeners something about Grace Covenant Baptist Church of Flemington, New Jersey Street in.

In Flemington, New Jersey, we have been together now 1985 in the very beginning or Gospel ministries here both locally regionally and be very grateful for for the things that God is unity To serve him in our generation.

Now is Grace Covenant Baptist Church a confessional reform Baptist Church it is.

It is we were constituted in conjunction with the London Baptist Confession of 1689. Operate. That that material into our into our study together. It's a.

Defining point of reference for us in our doctrinal identity. Yes, and that's basically for our listeners who are unfamiliar with the The vocabulary that we are using right now they have never heard of a confessional church.

They don't even know what that means. They may immediately wrongly think of the heretical Roman Catholic sacraments of Penance and confession where you confess your sins to a priest that has nothing to do with what we mean.

We're talking about a summary of biblical doctrine That is essential for a church to be behaving and practicing and living as a biblically faithful church and so everything that is in there is Biblical and It is not some invented Series of teachings that man has conceived within his own imagination.

These are all based on The Bible and as I have said before Every church really whether they admit it or not is confessional. They just have a good or a bad confession.

Right, right, right. We you often make public their statement of faith, which is basically a Systematic and then under those those headings delve into the scriptures in order to give a biblical response and who are coming in to know the landscape of Of our doctrinal convictions.

It helps. They'll hear the word preached from the pulpit and gives us unity within our own congregation and I have a point of commonality and fellowship with other sister churches as well and.

The commonality with churches from the past such as Metropolitan Tabernacle in London where Charles Spurgeon was the pastor he Believed in the or adopted to the 1689 London Baptist. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it does. It gives it very. Very encouraging and helpful in our day. Goes back into creeds of the Euro God.

Amen, and if anybody wants more information about Grace Covenant Baptist Church of Flemington, New Jersey Their website is GC BC and J Dot Squarespace dot-com and by the way for those of you who Don't know this Squarespace are the actual words square space.

Salvation Testimony and Early Christian Formation

Yeah, one of the gospel In conjunction of regular Baptist Cleveland, Ohio on my mother credible pious with integrity owned my conscience and Her testimony was very influential. Of my own development as a Christian I I would I would identify in many ways with tennis encourages him to to remember Those from home he had learned other from his mother and then that from God.

My father in the in my Childhood time was not a professing Christian was not living in any Relationship to come point to any particular Damascus Road conversion in my life as more of a gradual maturation in my understanding and Internalizing of convictions that transpired over the course of quite some time.

You know, I can point to Renewal so saved in Christ be patient and the glorification of resurrection from the dead. My Conversion testing continues to sustain me even now.

Now I know that the GAR BC General Association of regular Baptist churches. They are a mixed group at least today where you do have solidly Calvinistic congregations and you have those that are not. You even have some that are vehemently anti Calvinist, but were you a.

Were you being raised under the understanding of the doctrines of Sovereign Grace or did that come about later in your life?

That came about Later in my life. I I would say that that under the ministries of men in the essentials Of the gospel. I mean it was a decisionistic Context. I I in my dr. James career was instrumental in bringing together in my understanding Sovereign and that opened me up to time in my development and my education at that time I was I didn't always remember that I Gravitated toward them because they were between the things that I was reading my Bible and the things that were happening In the church round about me were coming to me from the past who were Identified in that point at that time with the Westminster confession of faith and then gradually on through seminary I began.

I got more and more clarity in my understanding of the scripture. I entered into pastoral ministry in 1982 and was Convinced that come to understand it was a bit and I was also holding on to my Paper to ordinance and also to often it was in a conversation with a local Orthodox Presbyterian pastor back in 1983 when in discovery form Baptist.

And I said, well, I I guess Theologically and he said, you know, they're really working for me to get in touch with one of the elders. And that began back in 1983 that praise God now.

When did you come to realize that you were given a goal that you had been given a call from God to enter into?

The ministry that developed again when I was in seminary academic Or had Had done to me open up the craniums of college-age kids and direct him into a more Solid embrace a school through my study of the Word of God that that in in my seminary Days that I that I began to see the centrality of the church I began Word of God that lived out in it.

At that point in my in my Christian development I I did not have a strong it met me with studied in the in the philosophy of existentialism I was elated and and and so that that teaching of the church really convicted me relative to a love Head into I didn't conjunction with the pastoral ministry and in God's providence.

He will praise God and the church is better off for it and as I said, I have been recommending your congregation Way back since the 1980s and continue to do so and I'm very I'm very thrilled that Grace Covenant Baptist Church has also become a sponsor of iron sharpens iron radio and our listeners will be hearing your ad At some point during the broadcast.

Gospel Intimacy, Marriage, and the Upcoming Couples Conference

Well now it's time to discuss The main theme here today, which is the theme of your book gospel intimacy and a godly marriage now. What first Led you to the the thought I've got to write a book on marriage, especially since there are reams and reams of things available in Christian publishing on the subject even from reformed Views or a reform you and I know that probably the majority of men.

Maybe even men in the ministry if they were to tell their wives, you know I'm gonna write a book on marriage the law. They would probably be deafened by the sound of laughter. So, how did this thought occur to you to do this and when did you tell your wife about it?

And what was her response?

Beginning of this project that I was back in 2003 to preach at the The Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland that occasion and said, you know that material Would be really beneficial trying to one and so that was the occasion that it got me thinking about about.

And tell us if you could about the upcoming conference at Trinity Baptist Church. Give us some of the details on how you actually structuring this conference.

Well, I'm I'm going to be tracking along the main Since having written through this material and and and willing at the first weekend of September. Foundational issues foundational dark creation the doctrine of the fall and The doctrine of over and use that as image bearer creation making us male and female instituted the marriage relationship that we might be one flesh imaging him and then the Effect of the the fall in many ways say in his marriage and try to open up entire domain and Into the punishment of death abnegation of his vacated his response about redemption category in which we are to see ourselves in which we in union with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit with all to learn how to love one another in keeping with With the gospel and that centered upon this idea of gospel love a love that is defined By that by the gospel of Jesus Christ and then the inevitable challenges in Christ Communicate that God a nurture grace in one another and this might be the challenges that comes through the challenge of communication the challenge of leadership the challenge of selfishness the and the challenge of death until death.

Do us now before we go into more of the detail of the book and of the.

Details of what you're gonna be speaking on at the conference. Is this conference open just to married couples? Is it open to engaged couples? Is it open to single people who? Believe that they one day will be married or want to be married.

What are the parameters for attending this conference?

Benefit from getting as much perspective and an informed understanding of biblical definition of marriage and both it outworkings, you know single people, you know the writer to the Hebrews tells us that the marriage bed is to is to be single.

We do have some questioners for you already Pastor Dunn, but before I do that, I just want to get Through one initial question of my own in regard to your book.

Yeah, what.

Do you mean by the doctrine of God directs our journey into marriage or marital?

Intimacy. Well, that's I use a metaphor Guiding into marital intimacy and being guided by by four guiding stars as it were to have four points of reference frame our relationship in our pursuit of local intimacy.

The doctrine of God is reflected in us as image of God we we are made in God's image male and Female and I I derive the principle of of God one God triune persons the principle of Plurality in unity and that being then reflected in the two becoming one.

The God who was one God and one flesh but plural person relationship of marriage.

Marriage with an Unbelieving Spouse and Gospel-Shaped Love

Well, we have a question for you now from Grady a very loyal and Generous supporter of iron sharpens iron radio a Grady in Asheboro, North Carolina. Who asks. Hi Chris and pastor. Done brother done? Do you give advice in your book for those believers that are married to?

Unbelievers. Or is your book just for believers who are married and I assume by that last part he means by. But two believers who are married.

Yeah, I'm early in mind Determined doesn't mean that something spouse married to an unbelieving spouse and woman who was married to an unbelieving husband at first Peter 3 and Encourages her through her example and that that by her influence She might be used to the spirit even to bring that man that Applying that kind of love specifically to the marriage relationship, but certainly extend gospel Defined love one another in the framework of our to our neighbors and and and even to our enemies recipients Transmitters if that is revealed by cutting dynamic Deadening dynamic work.

Well, thank you Grady.

Please make sure that we have your full mailing address in Asheboro, North Carolina So that we can mail you a free copy of the book gospel intimacy in a godly marriage. We want to thank the folks at pillar and ground publications for providing these copies of pastor Dunn's book.

For.

Listeners who send in questions and. We also want to thank Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service CV BBS comm CV for Cumberland Valley BBS for Bible book service comm for shipping out our winners their free books.

And we thank the Cumberland Valley Bible Book Services for their sponsorship of iron sharpens iron radio. My next question to you involves the second chapter of your book. What do you mean by the doctrine of creation directs our journey into marital intimacy?

Well, they're in the doctrine of creation once again that we we focus now most specifically on the marital relationship that God constituted with finding that it's. It's very significant in this whole discussion is that part of the argument that that Paul makes in first Timothy Chapter 3 that it was in many verse 13 and in verse 14 It was not Adam who is the doctrine of creation and the doctrine of the fall to bear upon our understanding of male and female relationship in the light of creation that those issues Defined by creation are still but the doctrine of creation.

I find Genesis chapter 2 to be a tremendous significance. Because there we find Adam what later in the Bible become called is called his headship. And he's entrusted to take care of and to transform that space into a virtual sanctuary a virtual Garden temple in which he would live with and commune with with God.

He's given us the at the very crux of biblical masculinity Really of naming the animals and it's in the course of that that he's just it's not good. For the man to be alone and refrain and and God saw that it was very that it was good very good.

It needs to be shown and that is to Adam and then and together then Union mandated where they are to transform creation into the very town and that does not back and man being fully Conformed as image of God now not in union with Adam the first a second Adam the Reconformed in in resurrection glory.

So creation is that the very foundation for the age to come you have.

Marriage, Sexual Ethics, and the Definition of Marriage

Arnie in Perry County, Pennsylvania who asks How can we? relate to our liberal family friends and loved ones who believe in Same-sex marriage that this is not marriage at all. No matter what they choose to call it.

It is simply not a marriage. How do we from the Bible define? marriage appropriately.

Wow, yeah.

Yeah, we live. Yes. Sure. Do it's getting more frightening every day I read. If you watch TV enough, you sure you sure getting a dose of fright into your system.

Well, I would encourage our brother with the fact that you know, when when when things get dark a Little bit of light goes a long way in terms of understanding. I think what through a moment. In first Timothy 4 1 to 5 the doctrines of demons deceitful spirits and the doctrines of demons and lying have their consciences branded and and the agenda of this deception and Necessary the doctrine of creation and all of its implications are for us.

As biblical Christians are advocated by men who forbid marriage and advocately shared in by those who believe and know the truth. But everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude.

For it is sanctified by means of the Word of God and prayer. The doctrines of demons historically and in our current moment at Target creation target man as image of God target Targeted or right from beginning in Genesis forbidding of marriage this promotes heresies and and dangerous teaching that very prevalent in our day and then they.

They are staining from food that to it to point to the physicality of our humanity. We eat with their creatures that have been formed of dust to eat of the fruit of the tree and so forth over the goodness of his physical Constitution has become a stumbling block in many ways.

I think of creation that written into the hearts of men by virtue of their created identity. That the conscience the immediately responsive that they've been articulated at Mount Sinai. That that when when we live lives of moral credibility.

They may not believe what we believe but but they need to know that we believe what we're sin and our marriages. We all know what it's like to shooting. We look at something like that and say, you know, they're active and thing of an attract.

Isn't.

The most key passage involving the fact that marriage as designed and instituted by God himself is Between a Man and a woman and nothing else. Genesis 2. Genesis 2 24, therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother.

Yeah, she'll cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. Let's think this that is that is the definition of marriage and anybody else that has a different definition as a different definition than God.

Yeah, well, amen. Amen that you know Chris, that's one of the most important I would say one of the most important verses in the Bible because it's All picks up that that that text in Ephesians chapter 5 and he he directs our attention To that pristine purity of Adam in one flesh union with against the battles.

Look at that picture. You're seeing a depiction love to his church and the destiny of the bride of Christ in a glorified New heaven and new earth in in intimate union with Christ in a way that.

Amen and we have to go to our midway break right now. It's a longer than normal break because grace life radio 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida always uses our middle break. To localize iron sharpens iron radio to Lake City, Florida with their own public service announcements and commercials.
