The knowledge of Christ is the Christians excellency above the Heathen (1 Cor. 1:23, 24). Practical and saving knowledge of Christ is the sincere Christians excellency above the self-cozening hypocrite (Heb. 6:4, 6). But methodical and well-digested knowledge of Christ is the strong Christians excellency above the weak (Heb. 5:12, 13, 14). A saving, though an immethodical knowledge of Christ, will bring us to heaven (John 17:2) but a regular and methodical, as well as a saving knowledge of him, will bring heaven to us (Col. 2:2, 3). For such is the excellency thereof, even above all other knowledge of Christ, that it renders the understanding judicious, the memory tenacious, and the heart highly and fixedly joyous (1:21). - John Flavel, The Fountain of Life Opened Up: A Display of Christ in His Essential and Mediatorial Glory from Flavels Six Volume Works on the PURITAN HARD DRIVE ow.ly/fPY4o.

This covenant was made between the children of Israel and the Gibeonites. Between four and five hundred years after that time, the children of Israel are visited with a very severe famine, in the days of David. 2 Sam. 21:1. And it is expressly declared by the Lord that, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. And at the same time, v. 2, that very covenant is recognized, and the breach of it is stated, as being the formal reason of the divine displeasure. Now, had it not been for this covenant, the extirpation of the Gibeonites would not have been imputed to Israel as a thing criminal; for they were comprehended in Canaanitish nations, which God had commanded them to root out. - William L.

Our books may come to be seen where ourselves shall never be heard. These may preach where the author cannot, and (which is more) when he is not. This prediction by one of the great Puritans has had many fulfillments. An ungodly Welsh clergyman, shopping at a fair in the eighteenth century, bought an article which happened to be wrapped in a page torn from an old Puritan folio. The reading of that one page led to his sound conversion. As Luther said, Satan hates the use of pens, and never were pens more powerfully wielded in the cause of God than by the Puritan divines of the seventeenth century. Nor have their books outlived their usefulness. Although the original volumes are worn with age, the truths found in them are as fresh as the new formats in which they are now appearing. - Publishers Foreword to Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed. ow.ly/fPY4o Top Ten Puritan Hard Drive Reviews (So Far) ow.ly/FDjpV Though possessing only a basic education, Howie developed a distinctive and appealing literary style which was in peculiar sympathy with the subjects with which he dealt. While he contributed relatively little that was original, he performed valuable service by rescuing from oblivion much important material which, without his painstaking efforts, would certainly have perished. Not the least significant feature of his work was its appearance at a time when the memory of the Covenanters and Reformers was fast being forgotten. - On John Howie (author of Biographia Scoticana or The Scots Worthies ow.ly/fPY4o) from The Dictionary of Scottish Church History and Theology (emphases added). ________ After these preliminaries, now for some other suggestions: First, That a selection of didactic and polemic works by the fathers be republished. And as Scriptural and once highly approved writings of the seventeenth century are clothed in language now partly obsolete; too antiquated to suit the fastidious taste of the present generation, and few could be induced to read them: we suggest, Second, That a similar selection be made and published from the works of some of our American divines, ere they were bewitched and corrupted by infidel politics. These works appear in language sufficiently intelligible. Among these we venture to specify the following: two pamphlets by Rev. Samuel B. Wylie; one on Covenanting, the other, the Sons of Oil. Another by Rev. John Black, entitled Church Fellowship. To these might be added the Duty of Nations, by Rev. Gilbert McMaster, and Rev. Thomas Sprouls Sermon on Covenanting. These works were given to the public while their respective authors were yet young men, and they may be said to contain the dew of their youth. These, and probably some cognate pamphlets now scattered and almost forgotten, might be issued together, bound in one volume for preservation. But as the Lords gold and silver are mostly in the hands of Gallios who care for none of these things (Acts 18:12-17-ed.); and few millionaires, if any, are to be found among the scattered and pelled (knocked about or persecuted-ed.) Covenanters, how shall the expense of such enterprise be met? We know, however, that even among the few who glory in the historic name, Covenanter, there are individuals who could execute the financial part of the enterprise without serious damage to their worldly interests. Therefore, Third, Let some large and leal (loyal and honest-ed.) hearted one, who believes that a good name is better than great riches, assume the pecuniary responsibility of the undertaking, make a good investment of some surplus capital, and secure Christs approval. And although his name and good deeds be not found in the Bible like those of Nehemiah, perhaps future generations might speak of him as the Jews did of the Roman centurion, -- He loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. It was by faith the elders obtained a good report, and a good report may be acquired, we believe, by any one who will act on these suggestions. - The Original Covenanter magazine, Volume III, September 1883, No. 11, page 322-323, on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o If you would like to contribute financially toward helping SWRB get even more free Reformation resources on the Web, for our Lords glory, please contact us using the contact information at puritandownloads/phone-contact-us/ (to the attention of Dr. Reg Barrow) Top Ten Puritan Hard Drive Reviews (So Far) ow.ly/FDjpV ________ The Regulative Principle of Worship declares that God alone is sovereign in worship. The Regulative Principle of Worship simply applies the principles of Calvinism (i.e. Gods sovereign Lordship) to worship, whereas the view that what God doesnt forbid in worship is permitted is applying the principles of Arminianism (i.e. mans sovereign lordship) to worship. Just as fallen man naturally seeks to impose his will in salvation (e.g. I can cooperate with God in salvation, or I have a natural freedom to choose Christ), so fallen man naturally seeks to impose his will in worship (I can cooperate with God in worship by adding what I desire so long as God doesnt specifically forbid it). But just as God condemns a man-centered salvation, so God condemns a man-centered worship (Col. 2:23 specifically condemns all will-worship, i.e. all worship instituted by man). - Greg Price, Foundation for Reformation: The Regulative Principle of Worship, p. 10, free at swrb/newslett/actualnls/REFORMATION-RPW-GP.htm or on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o All things considered, certainly it is no small condemnation of us to behold what an ardent zeal the holy martyrs had in the past, especially in comparison with the nonchalance we demonstrate. For as soon as a poor man of that time got so much as a little taste of the true knowledge of God, he did not hesitate to expose himself to the danger involved in confessing his faith. He would have preferred to be burned alive than to go so far as to commit some outward act of idolatry. - John Calvin on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o sermonaudio/go/157799 Leading atheists have already suggested that if homeschooling parents dont teach their children evolution then they should be taken from their parents; or if Christians are so dumb as to believe in biblical creation, they should be denied the vote.
