From the Webmaster

12/18/2024 I am converting all of the zipped mySword modules on this site to straight *.bok.mybible formats. If you visit us from a cell phone, you do not have to unzip these files. I am also changing the format somewhat. I am getting away from individual descriptions, and just making library lists where you can directly download the files.
If you come across a post that doesn't have a download link, please post a note to me in the comments of that post (no download), and I will try to get the file uploaded and linked to that post. We have had glitches in the past, and some posts lost their downloads. Basically, I am taking down all posts (650 posts on the site), and checking each one to see if they have their download, and if not adding it. Most do not. Once I take it down, it will repost (1 per day) until I am caught up and can work on new posts. Note that MySword reads theWord modules and esword modules now, so use them if you have them. Check these sites twmodules.com and eswordlibrary.com
If you can use these mysword modules in your Christian life and ministry, I need a big favor from you. I need you to pray for me. I sustain this website alone, out of my own living expense money. The Google Adsense ads have been adding to my income at the rate of 5 US cents per day for Google Adsense Ads as a daily total on 32 of my sites, all of them combined earn me a nickel per day except on bad days when it is less. I have been hacked continually, and these sites breakdown or are hacked, so I need your prayers. Please pray that God would protect this labor of love. If you cannot donate, please pray for me at least.

Buy me Burrito! Burritos are delicious. Meat, beans, sour cream, veggies, wrapped in a tortilla. We all enjoy burritos! But you know that you cannot have what is good without somebody paying for it. If you have enjoyed things on my website, please consider helping me maintain the expenses of this site. Consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? Very infrequently (one person every 3-6 months) will somebody donate something. Usually that is all I receive from 34 websites! Yet, from my download statistics, I have about 96 gigabytes total being downloaded monthly from all of these websites. Be a blessing to me and donate any amount. It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife (who splits a burrito?) 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 least a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too, though.

Evaluation by David Cox

thumbs-up-thumbs-down

In this work on Christian perfection, Chadwick examines the Scriptures relating to Christian perfection. Note that this is a common (foundational) doctrine of Methodism, coming from the Wesley (John and Charles). The basis for this doctrine is that by means of sincerely following a prescribed plan of spiritual activities (the “Method” of Methodism), a person may draw closer to God and be more holy. The problem is not so much with the “prescribed spiritual activities” as with the being “sincere”. Someone who truly loves God will draw closer to God (with the plan or without it), and therein lies the fault of John Wesley and his “method”. It does not work. Reading your Bible, praying long hours, witnessing your faith, etc. are all activities that many people do in the name of drawing near to God, but they are not even saved. Jesus rebuked the religious leaders (shakers and movers) of his day in Matthew 7 identifying them as people who do great works for God and supposedly are the favorites of God, and Jesus never knew them. Personal first hand knowledge and relationship with Jesus is what draws one closer to God. Understanding the love Christ has shown for us in his sacrifice, and desiring Him ARE the keys, but these keys are useless if the individual does not personally build his relationship with God.

Personally I like reading Methodist works. They have a lot of good content as a rule, and they stand very much on the other end of the spectrum of cold, fish-dead Calvinism, that believe and never moves their heart for the Savior. Calvinist’s would pretend to have great doctrine, and a good bit of their doctrine is straight from the Bible, but when we talk of really loving God and living our life as a constant sacrifice for our Savior, you will not find a Calvinist that has a clue on that issue. You need to go to the other extreme, the deeper life movement that formed as an extension of mainstream Methodism. While I disagree with Wesley’s second work of Grace (it doesn’t happen like that), I do agree that every Christian needs to dedicate his life to drawing nearer their Lord.

I would recommend reading this work, but keeping in mind that without a great amount of personal effort in drawing near to God, no amount of head knowledge nor spiritual homework will do the job.

I am Pastor David Cox, the Webmaster of this site. I am an independent Baptist Missionary pastor working in Mexico City since 1984. Many churches reject a fundamentalist because we do not accept the many false doctrines that modern churches have in common. We believe the Bible, and we preach and teach it. I have written over 400+ tracts and more than 60+ books which are just an extension of my pulpit ministry. All are free. Please help us keep this good material on the Internet for the world.

If you like what you see on this website, please help us with even a small donation. These sites cost me about $10 per month per site. Please donate something to help with this burden.
