George Whitefield: "My prayer today is that God would make me an extraordinary Christian."

There is no other way to get such easy, convenient and inexpensive access to so many great works from the best Reformation and Puritan preachers and teachers, past and present -- and the study software on the Puritan Hard Drive is out of this world in terms of usefulness! If necessary, sell what you have (that does not draw you closer to God) to get the Puritan Hard Drive, and prayerfully use it until you become, by the Lord's sovereign and sanctifying grace, the most extraordinary Christian you can be (for His glory!). - Pastor W.J. Mencarow (Reformation Church, Boerne, Texas - San Antonio area, https://worldunderchrist.wordpress.com/ and on Sermonaudio at https://www.sermonaudio.com/reformation), Author, Editor of The Paper Source Journal, and has been interviewed on numerous radio and TV programs including "Good Morning America," most networks and in major U.S. newspapers and magazines, etc.

Marks of a True Conversion, Become As Little Children To Enter the Kingdom Of Heaven by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3)

"An absolutely awesome and inspiring sermon." - Pamela Mcilroy from Australia (SermonAudio comment)

The doctrines of our election, and free justification in Christ Jesus are daily more and more pressed upon my heart. They fill my soul with a holy fire and afford me great confidence in God my Saviour. I hope we shall catch fire from each other, and that there will be a holy emulation amongst us, who shall most debase man and exalt the Lord Jesus. Nothing but the doctrines of the Reformation can do this. All others leave free will in man and make him, in part at least, a Saviour to himself . I know Christ is all in all. Man is nothing: he hath a free will to go to hell, but none to go to heaven, till God worketh in him to will and to do of His good pleasure. Oh the excellency of the doctrine of election and of the saints' final perseverance! I am persuaded, till a man comes to believe and feel these important truths, he cannot come out of himself, but when convinced of these, and assured of their application to his own heart, he then walks by faith indeed! Love, not fear, constrains him to obedience. - George Whitefield

George Whitefield: Puritanism, Puritan Books & Puritan Authors, Meet the Puritans by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3 & VIDEO)

The Puritans [were] burning and shining lights.

When cast out by the black Bartholomew Act, and driven from their respective charges to preach in barns and fields, in the highways and hedges, they in a special manner wrote and preached as men having authority.

Though dead, by their writings they yet speak: a peculiar unction attends them to this very hour; and for these thirty years past I have remarked, that the more true and vital religion hath revived either at home or abroad, the more the good old puritanical writings, or the authors of a like stamp... have been called for.

Their works still praise them in the gates; and without pretending to a spirit of prophecy, we may venture to affirm that they will live and flourish, when more modern performances of a contrary cast, notwithstanding their gaudy and tinseled trappings, will languish and die in the esteem of those whose understandings are opened to discern what comes nearest to the scripture standard. - This quotation by George Whitefield, from his Works, volume four, pages 306-307, is cited from the book Meet The Puritans: With a Guide to Modern Reprints (2006), page xiii (emphases added), written by Dr. Joel Beeke and Randal Pederson.

Saul's Conversion by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3)

Be much in secret prayer. Converse less with man, and more with God. - George Whitefield

The Lord Our Righteousness by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3)

Was I to ask you, how you expect to be justified in the sight of an offended God? I suppose you would answer, only for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. But, was I to come more home to your consciences, I fear that most would make the Lord Jesus but in part their Savior, and go about, as it were, to establish a righteousness of their own. And this is not thinking contrary to the rules of Christian charity: for we are all self-righteous by nature; it is as natural for us to turn to a covenant of works, as for the sparks to fly upwards. We have had so many legal and so few free-grace preachers, for these many years, that most professors now seem to be settled upon their lees [residue, remains, grounds, settlings], and rather deserve the title of Pharisees than Christians. - George Whitefield (1714-1770), sermon on Luke 18:14, The Pharisee and Publican

The Almost Christian by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3)

Dear Sir, for Jesus Christ's sake, consider how you dishonour God by denying election. You plainly make salvation depend not on God's free grace, but on man's free-will. - George Whitefield, A Letter from George Whitefield to John Wesley

Walking With God by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3)

It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher. - George Whitefield

The Good Shepherd by George Whitefield (Free SWRB MP3)

There is nothing lovely or desirable in man; his heart is a sink of pollution, full of sin and uncleanness. Yet our modern, polite preachers tell us, that there is a fitness in men, and that God, seeing you a good creature, gives you his grace. But this, though it is a modern, polite and fashionable way of talking, is very unscriptural. Many pulpits ring of nothing more than doing no one any harm, living honestly, loving your neighbor as yourselves, and doing what you can, and then Christ is to make up the deficiency. This is making Christ to be half a Savior, and man the other part; but I say, Christ will be your whole righteousness, your whole wisdom, your whole sanctification, or else he will never be your whole redemption. - George Whitefield

The Potter and the Clay by George Whitefield (Free Online Sermon)

Walking with God implies our making progress or advances in the divine life. Walking, in the very first idea of the word, seems to suppose a progressive motion. A person that walks, though he move slowly, yet he goes forward, and does not continue in one place. And so it is with those that walk with God. They go on, as the Psalmist says, 'from strength to strength'; or, in the language of the apostle Paul, 'they pass from glory to glory, even by the Spirit of the Lord'. Indeed, in one sense, the divine life admits of neither increase nor decrease. When a soul is born of God, to all intents and purposes he is a child of God; and though he should live to the age of Methuselah, yet he would then be only a child of God after all. - George Whitefield (1714-1770)

On Regeneration by George Whitefield (Free Online Sermon)

Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross; the Spirit of Christ and of glory then rests upon them. It was this, no doubt, that made the Puritans such burning and shining lights. - George Whitefield
