Have you ever eaten Fried Ice Cream! Donate!
It is delicious, like apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top. 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 out on the expenses and keeping it on the Internet. Can you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? I have a monthly total of about 96 gigabytes total being downloaded monthly from all of my websites. Be a blessing to me and donate any amount. It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife (she wants oa fried ice cream too) 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.

They deep freeze the ice cream ball, and coat it with batter only a few seconds before they deep fry it, and then only fry it for a few seconds.

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.

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.
