- "Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet." - John Flavel on the Puritan Hard Drive
Spectacular teaching on Biblical worship, closely related to the to the first message above and the meaning of life.

Transcendence and Omnipotence of God, by Dr. D.A. Carson, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Dr. Steven Dilday, Stephen Charnock, A.W. Pink, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, John Calvin, Dr. Brian Borgman, Dr. Bruce Ware, Dr. Curt D. Daniel, Al Martin and Others (Free MP3s) - omnipotentia: omnipotence, having all power and potency, being all powerful; an attribute of God; omnipotentia indicates the power, or potentia (q.v.), of God ad extra by virtue of which he can do all things that are not contrary either to his will or his knowledge. In other words, the omnipotentia Dei is limited only by the essence or nature of God himself and by nothing external to God. Thus the fact that God cannot do evil, cannot die, and cannot cease to be Father, Son, and Spirit is not a limit on or a contradiction of his omnipotentia. The scholastics agree with Augustine that all such hypothetical acts as would diminish God would be signs of weakness or of a defective willing, not evidences of omnipotence. Since, moreover, God himself is eternally fully actualized (in actu, q.v.) and never in process or in potency (in potentia, q.v.), the potentia Dei, the potency of God, or omnipotentia Dei, refers to the divine activity ad extra and never to a change or a potential for change in the divine essence, which is, by definition, both perfect and immutably so (see immutabilitas). Furthermore, since God’s omnipotence is a potentia, it cannot be a capacity for self-privation, i.e., a deficiency or deficient cause. The divine omnipotence may be further defined as the divine power or potential for the conferring of being and the active governance of all that is. In the former instance, which is the work of creation, the power of God is omnipotentiaabsoluta or potentia absoluta (q.v.), since it observes no prior condition apart from the divine essence itself and operates in relation to the divine knowledge of all possibility (scientia necessaria, q.v.). This omnipotentia absoluta can be referred also to miracles. In the latter instance, which is the work of providence or continued creation (see creatio continuata; providentia), the power of God is omnipotentia relativa sive ordinata, relative or ordained omnipotence, or potentia ordinata (q.v.), since it is bound by laws of its own making and relates to the divine governance of actuality. - Richard A. Muller, Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms: Drawn Principally from Protestant Scholastic Theology (Baker Academic, 2nd edition, Ebook edition created 2017, pp. 378-379), and p. 208 in the printed book (Fifth Printing, March 2003) (emphases added)

- God's decree is the very pillar and basis on which the saint's perseverance depends. That decree ties the knot of adoption so fast, that neither sin, death, nor hell, can break it asunder. - Thomas Watson, on the Puritan Hard Drive
Q. 7. What are the decrees of God? A. The decrees of God are, his eternal purpose, according to the counsel of his will, whereby, for his own glory, he hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. Q. 8. How doth God execute his decrees? A. God executeth his decrees in the works of creation and providence. - When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favourites, and afterwards throw them into prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God's call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed. God blots out His people's sins, but not their names. - Thomas Watson, on the Puritan Hard Drive
- In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. - Ephesians 1:11-12, KJV
- Gods decree, in as much as it concerneth man, is called Predestination: which is the decree of God, by the which he hath ordained all men to a certaine and everlasting estate: that is, either to salvation or condemnation, for his own glory. - William Perkins (on the Puritan Hard Drive), A Golden Chaine: or, The Description of Theologie (1608)
- You ought to think this way: "Very well, by God's decree the enemy has sent us poison and deadly offal. Therefore I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine, and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance infect and pollute others, and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me, however, I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely, as stated above. See, this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God." - Martin Luther's Works, vol. 43, p. 132, "Whether One May Flee from a Deadly Plague", emphases added. Much by Martin Luther is on the Puritan Hard Drive.
- With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. - Isaiah 40:14-16, KJV
- How foolish is every sinner. Can we poor worms strut it out against infinite power? Oh, that every obstinate sinner would think of this, and consider his unmeasurable boldness in thinking himself able to grapple with omnipotence! What force can any have to resist the presence of Him before whom rocks melt, and the heavens at length shall be shriveled up as a parchment by the last fire! As the light of God's face is too dazzling to be beheld by us, so the arm of His power is too mighty to be opposed by us. - Stephen Charnock (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Lee, David Silversides and Others Postmillennialism (Free Reformation MP3s, Puritan Books and Calvinist Quotes), by Jonathan Edwards, John Murray, Samuel Rutherford, Dr. Steven Dilday, Iain Murray, Thomas Brooks, Greg Price, Pastor Jim Dodson, Dr. F.N. Lee, David Silversides and Others - And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. - Isa. 2:2-4, KJV
- Now, Christians, the more great and glorious things you expect from God, as the downfall of antichrist, the conversion of the Jews, the conquest of the nations to Christ, the breaking of all yokes, the new Jerusalem's coming down from above, the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit, and a more general union among all saints, the more holy, yea, the more eminently holy in all your ways and actings it becomes you to be. - Thomas Brooks, The Crown and Glory of Christianity, 1662, Complete Works (on the Puritan Hard Drive), 1867, p. 444
- The anti-Christian leaven, which has been so extensively diffused, shall be purged out of both the churches and the nations. Every usurper of the rights and prerogatives of Sion's King shall be pushed from his seat. Every rival kingdom shall be overthrown. The civil and ecclesiastical constitutions of the earth shall be regulated by the infallible standard of God's word; their office-bearers, of every kind, shall acknowledge the authority of Messiah the Prince; and the greatest kings on earth shall cast their crowns at his feet. All enemies shall be put under his feet; and such as resist the melting influence of his grace, shall be crushed beneath the iron rod of his power. By spiritual conversion or judicial destruction, he shall effect the entire subjugation of the globe. And, at the last, there shall not be a spot on the face of the habitable earth where the true church of Christ shall not have effected a footing, nor a single tribe of the vast family of man which shall not have felt the meliorating and blissful influence of Christian laws and institutions. - William Symington, Messiah the Prince or, The Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (Still Waters Revival Books, [1884] 1990), pp. 185-86, on the Puritan Hard Drive
