"In the history of the church’s sanctification I don’t believe there has been a more valuable extra-biblical resource and tool than the Puritan Hard Drive... It holds some of the most priceless Reformed works of God-centered and Christ-glorifying truth that were ever penned." - Dr. Matthew McMahon, A Puritan's Mind. CALVIN ON SEPARATION FROM FALSE WORSHIP (i.e. worship not based on the second commandment or what is now called the regulative principle of worship) AND WORSHIPPING PRIVATELY (IN YOUR HOME)
"Some one will therefore ask me what counsel I would like to give to a believer who thus dwells in some Egypt or Babylon where he may not worship God purely, but is forced by the common practice to accommodate himself to bad things. The first advice would be to leave [i.e. relocate--GB] if he could. . . . If someone has no way to depart, I would counsel him to consider whether it would be possible for him to abstain from all idolatry in order to preserve himself pure and spotless toward God in both body and soul. Then let him worship God in private (at home--RB), praying him to restore his poor church to its right estate."
- John Calvin, Come Out From Among Them, The Anti-Nicodemite Writings of John Calvin, Protestant Heritage Press, "A Short Treatise," pp. 93-94, emphases added. Come Out From Among Them is also on the important Presbyterian Heritage Publications' CD at http://www.swrb.com/catalog/P.htm). The Calvin quote (above) cited in "Appendix G" in The Covenanted Reformation Defended by Greg Barrow, "A brief examination of Mr. Bacon's principles regarding the visible church and the use of private judgment. Also, some observations regarding his ignoble attack upon Kevin Reed in his book entitled The Visible Church in the Outer Darkness."
Romans 16:17 is also very clear on this point:
"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the (Apostolic--RB) doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."
"I am blown away by it! The search tools are, by themselves, well worth the price of the Puritan Hard Drive.The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous asset to my library and a huge time-saver for my own learning, preaching, teaching and counseling." - Kevin Guillory (Protestant Pastor, former Roman Catholic Priest), Redeemer Christian Congregation (Baltimore, MD).
Amazing surprises do come in small packages! If you want to understand Reformed theology (i.e., the whole counsel of God) the Puritan Hard Drive is unsurpassed, outside the Bible itself. The First and Second Reformations gave us the most faithful Scriptural teaching and preaching since the time of the Apostles, and there is no other resource, outside Scripture itself, where you can find so much of God's truth as in the Puritan Hard Drive. May the Lord continue to use this most profitable tool to promote a Third Reformation that encompasses the whole world (Isaiah 2:2-4)!
"In the history of the church’s sanctification I don’t believe there has been a more valuable extra-biblical resource and tool than the Puritan Hard Drive... It holds some of the most priceless Reformed works of God-centered and Christ-glorifying truth that were ever penned." - Dr. Matthew McMahon, A Puritan's Mind.
"Fantastic Product: The Puritan Hard Drive! Check it out for yourself & you'll find, I believe, that it's one of the best Christian software libraries yet developed & its price and convenience make the Puritan Hard Drive a truly appealing resource. - W. Nopper, Graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
"I'm floored at the sheer quantity and breadth of the contents. That so many of the .pdf's are OCR'd and searchable is truly remarkable!" - Pastor R. Andrew Compton, The Reformed Reader.
"When I first saw the ad for the Puritan Hard Drive I was astonished that so much was included. I always pray before I search my computer for something God would want me to read. When I was led to the website of Still Waters Revival Books, I knew my prayer had been answered." - L. Theriault (Canada).
"Love this (Puritan Hard Drive - ed.), it is mind blowing!" - Chris Isom (FL, USA).
"Never before have ordinary pastors, teachers & students had access to such a wealth of rare sermons, classic theology and commentaries. This will blow your mind." - Pastor Joe Haynes on the SWRB's PURITAN HARD DRIVE (BC, Canada)
"So again I thank you for your due diligence in producing the Puritan Hard Drive and reintroducing long lost Christian practices and teachings. May the Lord be glorified and many brought to Him. Alleluia!" - Michael Falconer, England
