A Reformed Baptist's Disk

What's New?

March 2008
We have uploaded new "on line" version of the First London Confession of Faith.

We have also produce a new category of Portable Programs. These are a single file (.exe), portable program format. These programs can be placed on a USB stick/drive and carried with you. Alternately, you can copy them to your computer's hard disk drive and use them there. These programs open a stand alone browser-like window. It probably is not as feature-rich as the browser you normally use, however, it does have a built-in search function which is quite good. These programs should all run on Windows 98/2000/XP and Vista.

February 2008
Uploaded an online web version of The Children's "Prove It" Catechism, a ZIP compressed, version of the same (HTML format). There is also a single file (portable) version of The Children's "Prove It" Catechism that can be taken with you on a USB memory stck (Windows 2000/XP/Vista).

December 2007
Uploaded an XP/Vista compatible installer for the Children's "Prove It"Catechism. I do not have Vista myself, however, I have been told it works fine with this installer, by a user.

September 2006
The Reformed Baptist's Disk CD. Contains all A Reformed Baptist's Disk programs. Programs run from the CD so you can take them with you! Autorun feature, just insert the CD into the CD drive and a menu automatically displays. Small size - burn to a mini CD or business card CD for your wallet. An ISO CD image is available for you to burn to CD.

June 2005
A little bit of a facelift with a new Logo and some changes to the menu system. No new titles, sorry. If you are particularly interested in seeing something in electronic form that would be of use to you and to Christian's in general e-mail me.

January 2005
Valiant In Fight: A Review of The Christian Conflict by B.F.C Atkinson, has been uploaded as a Windows HTMLHelp file and as HTML (viewable "on line" and as a downloadable zip file). This book is a short church history written in the first half of the twentieth century. It is full of lessons to be learned and warnings against worldliness, lukewarmness and compromise.

June 2004
Joseph Ivimey's "A History of English Baptist's"; has been uploaded both as a Windows HTML Help file and as HTML (viewable "on line" and as a downloadable zip file). It is my design in this to provide a larger Historical setting to the times in which the First and Second London Baptist Confessions were constructed.

We have also revamped the web site including a Javascript menu system, which I trust is useful. I have also added a section on What is a Christian. I am aware that most people who visit this sit will be disciples of Jesus Christ, however I cannot assume this and so I have included something of a gospel emphasis. No doubt there is much wrong with it, but I am open to suggestions on its improvement.

A site search has been added. Hopefully, this will make the site more useful to you.

January 2003
The "online" and downloadable HTML version of Calvin's Institutes (Beveridge Translation) as indicated last September, has now been completed and uploaded. This requires your browser to have Run Time Java installed. A Java search facility has been included courtesy of David Faden's SearchToHTML and The Gilbert Post, an independent high school student paper.

September 2002
An update of Calvin's Institutes is finally here! This expanded version of the Beveridge Translation now includes all footnotes, Author Index, General Index and 100 Aphorisms found in the Eerdmans (1989) single volume edition (1995 reprint). This may not sound like much, but I can assure you it has been the labour of many hours over the last couple of years. I trust that you will find it useful. I hope, God willing, soon to produce an HTML version for "on line" use.

Something that has impressed me greatly as I have updated and expanded this version of the program is the great depth and breadth of this work of Calvin. I truly believe that every Christian would gain enormously from the reading and study of the Institutes. He addresses and answers many questions that arise as we study doctrines. Calvin addresses questions like; "if God knows everything, then why pray?", or "if there are those who are elect and those who are not, why preach the Gospel?". It is also very practical. Of course, Calvin holds tenaciously to infant Baptism and some views of Church government which I do not believe to be Biblical. However, there is much to learn from this great theologian and Christian teacher of a past generation. I commend it to you warmly.

December 2001
What's new? Well basically EVERYTHING! A Reformed Baptist's Disk (formerly "Free Christian Software" and "The Reformed Baptist Disk") has a new and (hopefully) permanent home on the www.vor.org server. This has been very kindly provided by the Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Mebane North Carolina. Along with a new home is a new look for the Web Site. I hope you like it and will return again soon.

I decided to change the name of the site to "A Reformed Baptist's Disk" because I believed the former title (The) to be too pretentious. I did not want to convey the impression that the software on this site is a "must have" if someone claims to be a "Reformed Baptist".

I have just released a small helpfile like The BCF Assistant and BCF Help that contains the First London Baptist Confession of Faith (1646 2nd Edition). Click Here to have a look.

Given that some of the downloads on this site are fairly large and in the interests of sharing the software around, the entire site can be obtained on CD ROM. if you are interested in obtaining the CD ROM of the site, please e-mail me and I will tell you how much it will cost. This is a service, I don't make any money out of it!

April 2001
The BCF Assistant for MS Reader^TM. The MS Reader^TM is a Microsoft product designed for Laptop and Handheld computers.

If you would like to be informed when something new is released, then please send me an e-mail at mcjemisc@hotmail.com and ask to be placed on my mailing list.
