The Corruption of Worship, and the Rise of Antichrist In History, Prophesied In Revelation by Dr. Steven Dilday, John Calvin, W.J. Mencarow, John Owen, George Gillespie, et al. (Free Reformation MP3s & Much More)


Corruption of Worship & the Rise of Antichrist In History Prophesied In Revelation by Dr. Steven Dilday (Free MP3)




But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. - Matthew 15:9 (KJV)


How The Church Of The Apostles Was Hijacked By Rome (A History Of Apostasy And The Growth Of Antichrist) by W.J. Mencarow (Free MP3)




If it be asked, then, by what things chiefly the Christian religion has a standing amongst us, and maintains its truth, it will be found that the following two not only occupy the principal place, but comprehend under them all the other parts, and consequently the whole substance of Christianity, viz., a knowledge first, of the right way to worship God; and secondly of the source from which salvation is to be sought. When these are kept out of view, though we may glory in the name of Christians, our profession is empty and vain. - War Against the Idols, p. 198, citing from John Calvin's On the Necessity of Reforming the Church, FREE at https://www.swrb.ab.ca/newslett/actualNLs/NRC_ch00.htm or on the Puritan Hard Drive, emphases added.


War Against The Idols: The Reformation of Worship From Erasmus to Calvin by John Calvin and Carlos Eire (Free MP3)




"The principle that the church hath power to institute any thing or ceremony belonging to the worship of God, either as to matter or manner, beyond the observance of such circumstances as necessarily attend such ordinances as Christ Himself hath instituted, lies at the bottom of all the horrible superstition and idolatry, of all the confusion, blood, persecution, and wars, that have for so long a season spread themselves over the face of the Christian world." - John Owen, quoted in Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church by John Girardeau (emphases added), on the Puritan Hard Drive.


CALVIN ON SEPARATION FROM FALSE WORSHIP (non Regulative Principle Worship) and WORSHIPPING PRIVATELY IN YOUR HOME


Q. What is the 2d. Commandment?
Ans. Thou shalt not make to thy self any graven image, &c.


Q. What is the meaning of this Commandment?

Ans. That we should worship the true God with true worship: such as God hath ordained, not such as man hath invented.


- John Cotton, Milk for babes. Drawn from the breasts of both testaments. Chiefly for the spiritual nourishment of Boston babes in either England: but may be of like use for any children (London, 1646), pp 2-3, emphases added.


Puritan Worship Series (57 Free MP3s)


I will punish them that serve me otherwise than I have commanded, not sparing the chief that the people may fear and praise my judgements. - Note from the Geneva Bible (on the Puritan Hard Drive) on Lev. 10:3, after "fire went out from the Lord" and killed Nadab and Abihu for violating the regulative principle of worship.


Great Debate! Is The Papacy The Antichrist? (Free MP3s, Videos, etc.)


By communicating with idolaters in their rites and ceremonies, we ourselves become guilty of idolatry; even as Ahaz, 2 Kings 16:10, was an idolater, eo ipso, that he took the pattern of an altar from idolaters. Forasmuch, then, as kneeling before the consecrated bread, the sign of the cross, surplice, festival days (Christ-mass, Easter, etc. - ed.), bishopping, bowing down to the altar, administration of the sacraments in private places, etc., are the wares of Rome, the baggage of Babylon, the trinkets of the whore, the badges of Popery, the ensigns of Christ's enemies, and the very trophies of antichrist, -- we cannot conform, communicate and symbolise with the idolatrous Papists in the use of the same, without making ourselves idolaters by participation. Shall the chaste spouse of Christ take upon her the ornaments of the whore? Shall the Israel of God symbolise with her who is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt? Shall the Lord's redeemed people wear the ensigns of their captivity? Shall the saints be seen with the mark of the beast? Shall the Christian church be like the antichristian, the holy like the profane, religion like superstition, the temple of God like the synagogue of Satan?" - A Dispute Against English Popish Ceremonies, in George Gillespie's Works volume one (emphases added), p. 80, on the Puritan Hard Drive.


The Papacy is the Antichrist by J.A. Wylie & Others (Free Reformation MP3s, Books & Videos)


But alas! Satan envied our happiness, brake our ranks, poisoned our fountains, mudded and defiled our streams; and while the watchmen slept, the wicked one sowed his tares: whence these divers years bygone, for ministerial authority, we had lordly supremacy and pomp; for beauty, fairding; for simplicity, whorish buskings; for sincerity, mixtures; for zeal, a Laodicean temper; for doctrines, men's precepts; for wholesome fruits, a medley of rites; for feeders we had fleecers; for pastors, wolves and impostors; for builders of Jerusalem, rebuilders of Jericho; for unity, rents; for progress, defection. Truth is fallen in the streets, our dignity is gone, our credit lost, our crown is fallen from our heads; our reputation is turned to imputation: before God and man we justly deserve the censure of the degenerate vine; a backsliding people, an apostate perjured nation, by our breaking a blessed covenant so solemnly sworn. Yet, behold! when this should have been our doom, when all was almost gone, when we were down the hill, when the pit's mouth was opened, and we were at the falling in, and at the very shaking hands with Rome; the Lord, strong and gracious, pitied us, looked on us, and cried, saying, "Return, return, ye backsliding people; come, and I will heal your backslidings." - Andrew Cant, THE NATIONAL COVENANT: EXHORTATION AT INVERNESS in The Covenants And The Covenanters by James Kerr, on the Puritan Hard Drive

Dr. Steven Dilday Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

Steven-Dilday-Puritan-Hard-Drive-Review.jpg

Dr. Steven Dilday

Pastor of Liberty and Grace Reformed Church in Northern Virginia


For a number of years now, I have followed, and benefited from, the work of Still Waters Revival Books, particularly the Reformation and Puritan Bookshelf CD sets... and now the Puritan Hard Drive.


The Puritan Hard Drive is a remarkable accomplishment!


The common Christian can now have a world-class Presbyterian and Reformed library at his fingertips, for only pennies per volume.


I do not think that it is an exaggeration to say that the Puritan Hard Drive presents an historic and singular opportunity.


The works on the Puritan Hard Drive have been invaluable to me in sermon preparation and in improving personal and familial piety. If these had been the only blessings attached to the reading of these documents, the expense (even if it had been much greater) would have been justified; but there is more here.


In this present time, a great many Presbyterians (particularly in North America) have forgotten and implicitly (perhaps unwittingly) rejected their Presbyterian heritage. Strangely, Westminster confessing churches have rejected the theological distinctives of the Westminster Standards.


Although the Westminster Assembly produced a beautiful statement of soteriological Calvinism, the histories clearly demonstrate that soteriology was not the principle focus, nor chief interest, of the Assembly. The Westminster Assembly was primarily concerned with uniformity in worship (in accordance with the Regulative Principle), the form of church government (Presbyterianism jus divinum), and Church-State relations (the Establishment Principle). It is a sad irony that the great and distinctive attainments of the Westminster Assembly have been ignored and rejected by so many Westminster confessing churches.


However, we may yet entertain the hope that these great attainments are rejected largely because of ignorance. The best books on these subjects have not been readily available; but (thanks be to God) they are available again on the Puritan Hard Drive.


For anyone interested in recovering our Presbyterian and Reformed past, the Puritan Hard Drive is a must.


It is my hope and prayer that the Puritan Hard Drive will be used by God to bring to light the things that were hidden, to call to remembrance the things that were forgotten.
