“ Perkins on Conversion ”
This narration is now 27 years old. I was reflecting on this because the book is now available in modern typeset for free for the Kindle. Now 27 years later I have narrated that section again for my own edification. http://puritanaudiobooks.com/2013/04/14/william-perkins---cases-of-conscience-on-conversion-1602.aspx Back then I used a dual cassette deck with a built in microphone. It was all I had in those days. |

“ Very Sad, Let us Beware ”
The sordid article, Let us Prey, can be found online. http://www.chicagomag.com/
A few years ago I was teaching a computer novice who is a well known preacher on SermonAudio. (A.N.M.) When we had set up his computer, installed Dragon Naturally Speaking, and learned some basics, he made it a priority that he have good internet filtering on his computer. He said that he didn't want to throw away 50 years of usefulness as a preacher by falling into sin by viewing filth on his p.c. His example always has affected me for good. Preachers would be helped by reading The Reformed Pastor, by Richard Baxter, often. |

“ Helpful for Myself ”
Sometimes I narrate a sermon because I have an overwhelming need in my own life. I am not bashful to say that this sermon was narrated because of our 15 year old son who really needs our prayers. Once again yesterday he threatened to commit suicide and was exceedingly depressed and angry. He is also doing drugs. Spurgeon helps so much when he said "we must let the Spirit of submission rule us. so that after seeking the Lord thrice we rest on the promise that His grace is sufficient. But in spiritual mercies, - the conversion of that dear child, there is no taking NO for an answer." I am glad to see that others may be finding this narration helpful as well.

“ Response To Jenny ”
Thanks for you comments and I can sure understand your point about biographical details. The Sunday School more appropriately should be named the Second Great Awakening and Asahel Nettleton. As with all Sunday School biographies, 50 minute lessons don't begin to give me time to detail the life of any individual. But if I can whet someone's appetite to read more of this for themselves, my goal would be accomplished. Many in our day have never heard of the 2nd Great Awakening, let alone even have a clue who Nettleton is. They have never even heard of Timothy Dwight, Yale President, and grandson of Jonathan Edwards. I am just a mailman who reads a lot and like to point people to good books! (and biograpies!)

“ Pressing Into the Kingdom ”
This lecture was given in S.S. in 2003. It deals with the whole subject of "Counseling the Awakened Sinner" not only in the sermons of Jonathan Edwards, but Thomas Boston, Samuel Davies, John Owen on the Holy Spirit and other puritans. It was an introduction to a paper I wrote called, "The Antecedents to Regeneration" and the Charge of Preparations in Reformed Preaching examined, and online here.
www.thereformedpastor.net/preparat.html
Because the lecture was short, I have a little more discussion that I have added at the end from this same paper. The interesting contrast comes in placing Edwards' "Narrative" descriptions of persons under awakening, next to the pilgrim in Pilgrims Progress description in Bunyan's book of this name. |

“ Rare John Brown ”
Recently I was kidding Dr. Beeke that his massive work, "Meet the Puritans" did not contain the life of John Brown of Wamphray, so I toss it to the ground before I read it. Then I brought to his attention a quote from John Brown from Iain Murray's book, "The Old Evangelicalism." Well recently the Banner of Truth released a two volume series on the Scottish Puritans. To my surprise his bio. doesn't appear to be in there either, from what I can learn from the introduction. At least my friends at SWRB know about this rare puritan author! Thanks for this PDF file! |

“ Historical Background ”
This S. S. is an examination of Charles Hodge's critique of the Great Awakening from his book, The Constitutional History of the Presbyterian Church. The section is called, "The Great Revival." Whether one agrees with his conclusions or not, his analysis is what one would expect from this great theologian of the 19th century, astute and discerning. The result is a warning about trusting in feelings or mental images issuing in a false conversion. An examination of the mysterious subject of "sympathy" and its effects in a revival is discussed as well. Also, it looks at the development of Jonathan Edwards' wisdom as a revival theologian leading to his famous work on the "Religious Affections." |
