David Cox's Conservative Christian News notes and analysis of the News
A Small Church is not a Broken Church an article looking at some of the factors, good and bad, of small churches versus megachurches.
Excerpts: The first problem with this mindset is simply that it begs the question of whether it is God's will that every church should exceed 2000 or 3000 members.... God's will is different between different places and people, cultures. The idea of a mega church goes hand in hand with the idea of an egotist at the head of such churches... Haughtiness is sinful... there is no reason to boast or be proud at the results of your labors if God gives you fruit or not, so it is not us that should get the glory, but the Lord.

Divine use of Sickness
CP34 Divine use of SicknessRead 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).Please support our tract ministry by donating on the tract website (see sidebar).
