How Obama Is Crafting A New Evil (Anti-Christian) Empire, Understanding the Crisis in the Ukraine, Etc., by Dr. Peter Hammond (Free MP3)
Though Dr. Hammond employs a much too broad view of what is Christian (especially as it applies to nations), and he supports Roman Catholic/Pagan holy days (like Christ-Mass [Christmas] and Easter, see "Christmas Is A Roman Catholic Missions Strategy"), nevertheless, there is still much useful cultural, political and historical information included in this message, which is relevant to Christians today. Further into this message Hammond also exposes Obama's (and his administration's) evil Anti-Christian push for socialism, Evolutionism, abortion, sexual perversion, etc., domestically and internationally, as well as how this impacts various other countries in numerous ways. Obama's support of Islam is also made crystal clear (see "Obama Rebuilds Mosques While Churches Burn"), as is how Obama's policies have lead to much additional persecution and the murder (martyrdom) of many Christians around the world (at the hands of Muslims). There are also many reasons here as to why you should distrust the mainstream media, the filth that flows from Hollywood, and the Godless propaganda and lies spewed forth from all anti-Christian civil governments.
I lay down this maxime of Divinitie; Tyranny being a worke of Sathan, is not from God, because sinne either habituall or actuall, is not from God; the power that is, must be from God; the Magistrate as Magistrate, is good, in nature of office, and the intrinsecall end of his office, Rom. 13:4. for he is the Minister of God for thy good; and therefore a power ethicall, politick, or morall, to oppresse, is not from God, and is not a power, but a licentious deviation of a power, and is no more from God, but from sinfull nature, and the old serpent, then a license to sinne. - Samuel Rutherford, Lex Rex (1644) on the Puritan Hard Drive.

No manifest idolater, nor notorious transgressor of God's holy precepts, ought to be promoted to any public regiment [i.e. government-GLP], honour, or dignity, in any realm, province, or city that has subjected itself to his blessed evangel". - John Knox, from "Summary of the Proposed Second Blast of the Trumpet" (1558), as cited in Greg Price, Biblical Civil Government Versus The Beast; and The Basis for Civil Resistance -- free online book at https://www.swrb.com/newslett/FREEBOOK/GPrice.htm
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God. - John Knox on the Puritan Hard Drive.
"The nations are bound to recognize the Bible as the supreme law of the land; as the standard of civil legislation. God's law as recorded in the Bible, reaches all the possible relations of humanity; extends to every duty that can be performed, and fastens its claims on associated bodies of men, as well as upon individual persons. Were this not true, we should have this monstrous anomaly in Jehovah's government, that while men, as individuals, are bound by the laws recorded in the Bible, in their congregated capacities, they may set these laws at defiance, and even contemn as citizens, what as Christians they are bound to honor and obey. ... The nations are bound to evince their subjection to the Son of God, by filling all their official stations with upright, godly and able men. ... In all their political institutions the nations are bound to subserve the interests of the church of God, and promote, truth and godliness. ... In all their civil, criminal, and international concerns, the kingdoms should have a supreme regard to the glory of God." - The Subjection of Kings and Nations to Messiah (1820) by James R. Willson on the Puritan Hard Drive.
Obama Law For Persecuting Christians
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. - Matthew 5:10-12, King James Version (KJV)
Christmas Is A Roman Catholic Missions Strategy (Free Reformed MP3s, Videos, Books, Quotes, Etc.)
The Protestant Church is fast returning to the heathen ceremonies of the Church of Rome, vying with her in the observance of "Easter Sunday," etc. By means of Christmas trees, Santa Claus is becoming a greater reality and the object of more affection to children than the Saviour himself. - Reformed Presbyterian Church (Covenanter), Minutes of the General Meeting (1889) on the Puritan Hard Drive.
Obama Rebuilds Mosques While Churches Burn
This is the best modern testimony for the biblical principles of civil magistracy -- which were so prominent during the height of the second Reformation -- that we have seen. Price documents the teachings of many of the major Reformers (and some of the church fathers) and in an easy reading manner simplifies what can at times become a very complex subject. This particular Reformation message, proclaiming Christ's Kingship over the nations (and the practical outworking of the same), has been buried from the view of the general public for some time now, but is once again being brought to light in this very helpful introductory book. A sobering appendix has been added (written by a friend of the covenanted Reformation) which shows why it is unlawful for a Christian to swear any oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. This appendix also compares the points of difference between classic (or historic) Reformed teaching and modern Reformed teaching regarding magistracy and religion. Special attention is paid to the OPC, the PCA and the RPCNA and the changes that these groups have made to second Reformation confessional standards (concerning matters related to the civil magistrate). Statements by B.B. Warfield are also contrasted to the older Reformed views. You won't find a better easy-to-read and easy to understand introduction to this important topic -- a topic which impacts directly on every Christian's testimony for the crown rights of King Jesus!

(Reformation Church, Boerne, Texas - San Antonio area)
The Puritan Hard Drive is the must have digital learning device for Puritan and Reformed studies.
Nothing like it has ever been available before!
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!).
