April 2022 Cox Update

April 2022 Cox Update is an update on the David and Tule Cox ministry for March and April 2022.

I wanted to update our supporters on how the ministry is going for us this March and April. In general, we are doing well with new visitors coming to the church every Sunday and our men still teaching and preaching. My health is doing better and my doctor has taken me off almost every medicine I was on. It is helping me. I am preaching the 11 AM services, and our men are still taking turns preaching the 10 AM service.

Over the past few years of Covid it seems we have lost a few families. One family was driving an hour to come to church, and they continue with fears of Covid and won’t come. It is coming up on a year anniversary since their last physical visit to the church, but they were in the Zoom services and stopped that last June. We have a few other families that also have dropped out. The reasons are various but obviously they are not as committed as our other people.

Tule continues fine in her health. I praise the Lord for a godly woman like her to take care of me and be my partner and balance in the ministry. She gets very frustrated because a number of people not coming are single/divorced women, and she does the contacting for them. She gets upset at the excuses, the promises to come, then they come one time and that is it for a couple of months.

We continue with the building program to try and raise money to purchase a property, build a building, and move the church into it. It will take a lot of time, but we continue to work on it.

I am back at the computer for a number of hours each day, so I am working on my websites and the information on them. For most of them, I am putting my sermons, tracts, and Sunday School material on them. They continue to be heavily visited although they are constantly under attack. Please pray that I will fix what has been corrupted.

Tract Group 1

pc05 Resisting Porn is a tract explaining why and how we resist seeing bad images, and the problems related to this. Topics: Seeing a Woman to covet her | We must be happy | This is why God sets the rules regarding sex very clear. | We must not covet your Neighbor's Wife | The Problem with Divorced People.
From the Tract: Job 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
The problems of pornography fall into three main ones: (1) It is to sin against the Lord - One is coveting what is not his, and for God, coveting a woman is just as having sex outside of marriage (adultery or fornication). (2) It is to sin against your partner - One is disloyal, not faithful, to your partner. If one is not married, he is acting in impurity, youth passions ("Flee from youth passions" 2 Timothy 2:22) which is a sin. (3) It is to sin against oneself, against oneself.

Give a Cup of Water in my Name Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Christians who give even a small cup of water will not lose their reward for doing this. God will not overlook their effort to help others in the work of the Lord. To help others is rewarded by God, especially when you are helping the weak, the small young ones (think new believers), the helpless like widows in the Bible, those who cannot provide for themselves. So, my websites are for these kinds of people. I am providing material that is good sound doctrinal material, fundamentalist, conservative, biblical material.

But what I am doing is in the name of the Lord. I am not trying to get rich, but I am just trying to pay my bills from this ministry. My wife and I have personally supported our internet sites with my sermons, tracts, books, etc. and other good solid works for some 20 years now, paying for everything from our living expenses. We have had donations from some few people, about 3 or 4 a year, mostly under $30. That doesn't even begin to address the hundreds of dollars we pay hosting companies to maintain this ministry. While our downloads from these sites reach 40 gigabytes per month, donations don't seem to be in people's minds.

So even a small $5 donation to help us out will allow you to participate with me in this ministry, and you will receive rewards in eternity also. May God bless you richly in heaven for your generosity in promoting God's work. If you cannot donate anything, ⁣ that is alright, just say a prayer for this ministry and email me saying that you prayed for us so that we can give thanks for you before the throne of grace. Thank you.
