Divine use of Sickness CP34 Divine use of Sickness
Read this tract by Pastor Cox about the divine use of sickness explains how God works with sickness to remind man of his limited time on earth, the consequences of sin, etc.
In this tract Pastor Cox explains how God positively uses sickness to help us turn our thoughts and attention to the eternal. We get so involved in our daily lives sometimes that we forget that our life is but a vapor on this earth, soon to no longer be. God uses sickness as a severe warning that our time is running out, and we need to live as though every moment has a forward view towards eternity. How we spend our life is important. Sections:
1. Understanding that God is God
2. Sickness because of Sin
3. Warning about approaching Death
4. Warning about Human weakness
5. The Error of the Sick
6. God listens to those who ask in sincerity

Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
There is an attitude within much of Christianity that sickness in any form is bad, and God does not have anything to do with it. For these Christans, they ask God to take the sickness away, and sometimes (as though it was their right to be health) that they demand God to remove their sickness. The reality of life is that they continue ill, and many have a crisis of faith over this. For them, God is impotent, or God does not love them. In other words, their confidence, faith, and love of God depends on God always sending them good things. But this is not how the Bible indicates life is. God uses calamity and sickness for His own purposes and we have to understand this (and accept it).

You know, I work hard at my websites trying to provide you with good material that is sound doctrinally-speaking and of interest to God's people. It is hard work, but I don't mind doing it, and I feel called to the ministry, and God will bless me after all is said and done. But in the meantime, I do need to cover my expenses. I have a total of 34 websites (half English and half Spanish), and each one costs about $10 per month to keep up. That does not take into consideration my time and effort in writing content. Won't you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife this money so that we could enjoy eating out at least once in a while. (I pay the expenses for these sites out of our living expenses.) God will richly bless you and repay you for your generosity. 1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. If you received some value from my websites, consider at lest a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too though.

  1. I am concerned. I have used this bible and reference materials for years and just recently received a new phone and had had to reinstall this. That’s when I came across the website for the first time and then the first article “survey of purgatory. ” Is this a catholic bible study/site or based on Catholic teachings. Purgatory is definitely not a biblical doctrine. I was about to begin to support this ministry, but first I require some answers. Thanks for your help.

    1. HI Steve, See Paul’s comment on http://www.myswordmodules.com/hell/binet-e-purgatory-surveyed/ and my response. It is the very same answer. I will repeat it here.
      The answer is very simple. First of all, as a library I include works by people with views I do not agree with, for example cults, other denominations, atheists, etc. Although I do not agree with their position, I cannot study and answer their position without “original works”, i.e. works written by these people, for example, Ellen White of Seventh Day Adventists. So although I do include them, I want to clearly label them before you use them. (Other Bible software websites do the same, but they do not label them clearly).
      Secondly, this particular work I felt was valuable because not being Catholic, I don’t know much about it except what I have read and this would give me a survey of that material without having to go any further. That is valuable in itself. I label these works as Catholic, Jehovah’s Witness, even some Mormons, etc. because I see some usefulness in the work as far as studying their position. I have a Mormon work on how to teach a Sunday School lesson on twmodules.com, and again, I do not see where being a Mormon detracts so much from what he says.
      If you do not want to download the work, don’t. Thanks for writing. – David Cox
