Greet­ings to all from Mis­sion­ary David Cox!

After hav­ing tried a great many dif­fer­ent sites and forms for mak­ing a web­site and keep­ing in touch with dif­fer­ent peo­ple, espe­cially my finan­cial sup­port­ers, I am finally set­tling down to using Word­Press. Accord­ing to things I have read, Word­Press Blogs are favored in the search engines as far as reg­is­ter­ing the pages and sites, so that means if you type in “David Cox” Mis­sion­ary or “David Cox” Mex­ico, I should be in the first pages.

Pur­pose of this blog.

My pur­pose is make an out­let for my com­mu­ni­ca­tions and writ­ings to the world. Actu­ally it is very dif­fi­cult to keep up and in con­tact with peo­ple these days. I am find­ing emails as being very unfriendly, because my emails are being blocked (com­ing from another coun­try not the USA). So at least with some­thing like this, you know where to go to find infor­ma­tion about me. I am also trans­lat­ing my ser­mons, tracts, and books into Eng­lish so that peo­ple can see at least part of what we are doing.

My old site www.davidcox.com.mx

I am hav­ing some prob­lems with that site, and it has been pointed out to me that the Inter­net and the search engines, etc. are not setup to han­dle a bilin­gual site. Search­ing and other things get very con­fused in a bilin­gual site like the one I orig­i­nally made. Also there are other prob­lems that I won’t go into, but basi­cally, I am going to move all the Eng­lish things from that site to this one. I am also want­ing to move my libraries and other things into another site which has a built in seach capa­bil­ity (thus Word­Press). So as I move my stuff over, please be patient.

P.S. I have google ads so that I can gen­er­ate a lit­tle income from peo­ple click­ing on these ads so that this will pay for my Inter­net expenses of hav­ing this web­site and oth­ers. I do not endorse these ads except to all Google to post to my pages for this pur­pose. Note that I can­not con­trol the con­tent of these ads except in a gen­eral way (for exam­ple, no alco­hol ads), so please do not think that I am endors­ing every­thing that appears through them. If they get to be too much of a prob­lem then I will remove them alto­gether.

  1. Dear Brother In Christ,

    Can you offer guid­ance in intepret­ing 2 Cor. 6:14–17.

    Does it mean that if I’m invited by my Aunt to my cousin’s wed­ding recep­tion I shouldn’t go? I wouldn’t attend the reli­gious cer­e­mony but I would go to the recep­tion as an oppor­tu­nity to evan­ge­lize any one I might meet there.

    Wait­ing for your reply. God Bless you!

  2. I think that 2 Cor 6:14–17 is talk­ing more about for­mal rela­tion­ships than casual social con­tacts. In other words, I would not go to a Catholic church for a wed­ding cer­e­mony, but per­haps I would attend a meal or recep­tion after­wards. That has been our pol­icy here in Mex­ico, and there have been a half dozen occa­sions where we were invited. I would also clar­ify that I tell our friends that invite to these things that we as Chris­tians (1) don’t drink, and (2) we don’t dance. There­fore, I will go to the recep­tion or meal after­wards, but as soon as they start danc­ing or bring­ing out the alco­hol, don’t get offended when we get up and leave. Then I ask them if they still want us to come. We wish them well, and that is what mat­ters, not that we get drunk or act like fools danc­ing in front of every­body. I feel our tes­ti­mony to Christ is more impor­tant than keep­ing friend­ships high with the unsaved, or with car­nal Christians.

  3. Dear Brother in Christ,

    Thank you for your frank & real­is­tic advice. It’s good to hear how our tes­ti­mony should be prac­ti­cal & not legal­is­tic. Also, thank you for answer­ing so soon.

    God bless you!
