God Sometimes Uses Extraordinary and Distasteful Means In Sanctification, To Sanctify Us For His Glory by Greg Price (Free Reformed MP3)

I offer myself unto Christ the Lord, as an object proper for all His offices to be exercised upon:

I choose Him as my prophet for instruction, illumination, and direction.

I embrace Him as my great priest, to be washed and justified by His blood and righteousness.

I embrace Him as my king to reign and rule within me.

I take a whole Christ with all His laws, and all His crosses and afflictions.

I will live to Him; I will die to Him; I will quit with all I have in the world for His cause and truth.

- Ebenezer Erskine (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

God Sometimes Uses Extraordinary and Distasteful Means In Sanctification, To Sanctify Us For His Glory by Greg Price (Free Reformed PDF)

How soon are we broken on the soft pillow of ease! Adam in paradise was overcome, when Job on the dunghill was a conqueror. - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Holiness and Sanctification In Reformed Thought By John Calvin, John Owen, Greg Price, J.C. Ryle, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Stephen Charnock, Dr. Dilday, A.W. Pink, Paul Washer, Love, Perkins, Al Martin, a Brakel, Scougal et al. (Free Reformed MP3s, Videos, etc.)

I assert unhesitatingly that the man who wants to study experimental theology will find no books equal to those of Owen for complete scriptural and exhaustive treatment of the subjects they handle. If you wish to study thoroughly the doctrine of sanctification I make no apology for strongly recommending Owen on the Holy Spirit - J.C. Ryle (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Overcoming Temptation by John Owen, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Thomas Brooks, Thomas Manton, William Spurstowe, Dr. Joel Beeke, Greg Price, et al. (55 Free Reformed MP3s)

Labor to know your own frame and temper; what spirit you are of; what associates in your heart Satan has; where corruption is strong, where grace is weak; what stronghold lust has in your natural constitution, and the like. - John Owen (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Hardness of Heart in Christians, Why Hast Thou Hardened Our Heart From Thy Fear? by John Owen (Free MP3), The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded by John Owen (6 Free MP3), On The Mortification of Sin in Believers by John Owen (6 Free MP3) and Much More

It is not a fit time to take the measure of our graces, as to their sensible growth and fruitfulness, when devils are broken loose upon us; temptations are multiplied, corruptions make a great noise, and we are meeting with a horrible tempest shaking us on all hands: for it will be strong grace that will much appear then; it will be strong faith that will say, Though he kill me, yet will I trust in him. At such a time it will be much if the man keep the ground he hath gained, though he make no progress. It will be much for a tree to stand, and not to be blown out of the ground, in the time of a strong and vehement storm of wind, though it keep not its flourishes and yield not fruit. The trees, which in a cold winter day bear neither leaves nor fruit, must not be said to go back, nor not to grow; because when the spring cometh again, they may revive and be as fruitful as ever. - John Brown of Wamphray, Christ: The Way, & The Truth, & The Life (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Heart Idols In Your Life and Mind, Are You Sending Away These Idolatrous Lovers? by Greg Price, Paul Washer, David Clarkson and Others (Free Reformed MP3s, Videos, Books)

"Heart-work is hard work indeed. To shuffle over religious duties with a loose and heedless spirit will cost no great pains; but to set yourself before the Lord and tie up your loose and vain thoughts to a constant and serious attendance upon him; this will cost you something. To attain a facility and dexterity of language in prayer and put your meaning into apt and decent expressions is easy; but to get your heart broken for sin, while you are confessing it; melted with free grace, while you are blessing God for it; to be really ashamed and humbled through the apprehensions of God's infinite holiness and to keep your heart in this frame, not only in but after duty, will surely cost you some groans and pains of soul. To repress the outward acts of sin and compose the external part of your life in a laudable manner is no great matter; even carnal persons by the force of common principles can do this: but to kill the root of corruption within, to set and keep up an holy government over your thoughts, to have all things lie straight and orderly in the heart, this is not easy." - John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Killing Remaining Sin, Mortification, Holiness & Hell By Dr. Joel Beeke, John Owen, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards and Others (Free Reformed MP3s)

I. They, who are once effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, by His Word and Spirit dwelling in them: the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified; and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces, to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

II. This sanctification is throughout, in the whole man; yet imperfect in this life, there abiding still some remnants of corruption in every part; whence arises a continual and irreconcilable war, the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.

III. In which war, although the remaining corruption, for a time, may much prevail; yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part does overcome; and so, the saints grow in grace, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

The Sinfulness and Cure of Thought, Biblical Sanctification, Classic Puritan Sermon by Stephen Charnock (Free Reformed MP3)

A child of God hates sin, as it is contrary to his drift and purpose. If we do not love good for good's sake, it is not good we love, but some other thing that cleaves to it, the temporal benefit that we think will come thereby; so if we do not hate evil as evil, but because of the loss and detriment that attends the practice of it, it is not sin that we hate, but inconveniences. - Thomas Manton (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

Let mortification be especially directed to strike at those sins that act your master sins - that are most prevalent and predominant in your heart, that yet you have most prayed against and are least able to resist, that strongly assault you and most easily beset you and are masters over you. - Christopher Love.

That God justifies he sanctifies, if you are not being sanctified you are not saved. How much are we living in prayer and communion with the God we will be spending eternity with, is sin keeping us from this reality? If the Lord should bring a wicked men to heaven, heaven would be hell to him; for he who loves not grace upon earth will never love it in heaven. - Christopher Love (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
