Welcome to the David Cox’ PDF Library!

This website is a library website to read and download free online Christian books for Bible Study. I am a missionary and Pastor in Mexico City, Mexico since 1986, and I use these works for my own study and sermon preparation, and I am making these works available for the public.

Please note: Google Ads are not producing any revenue on this site. As such, I am considering removing Google Ads completely, and possibly even deleting this website from the Internet altogether. I have these works downloaded on my hard disk. I do not need the website for my own studies. I offer this website and these works as a way to be a blessing TO YOU! If you get use from this website, (1) highly consider praying for me and this ministry, (2) send me a comment on some of the pages you visit telling me something about why you like this website, mentioning some detail of the website. (3) make a donation to help me keep this website up. (Please include the word bibleresourcelibrary in your PayPal donation. Note that you do not need to have a PayPal account, just a debit or credit card.)

Also note, that I will probably keep the website up if enough people send me comments saying that it is a blessing or in some way they have gotten benefit from it. (When gratitude dies in a man’s heart, he is well neigh hopeless.) If people don’t comment positively, I will assume that these 16k of unique visitors are bots, and ignore them. Nobody’s out there looking here, just bots.

My websites cost me about $10/month/site. I run 30+ ministry websites, and my costs are x30. While this is not very much money, it is killing me over the years because few or nobody donates. If you and others donate $2/month, I only need 5 people to “pay the rent.” It will pay for itself. But while my programs tell me that in the last 30 days (from Oct 3, 2023) we’ve had 16,000 unique visitors that have downloaded 3 Gigabytes of information, not a one of them have donated to me. (Nobody has donated to me in since April 2023 this year, and that was for a different website). So if only 120 people of that 16k would donate $1 per year, this website would pay for itself. So enjoy the site. It will probably be taken down with time. I have carried the financial burden of this site for some 15 years, and I am being taxed out.


Buy me Steak Taco! You know, I work hard at my websites trying to provide you with good material that is sound doctrinally-speaking and of interest to God's people. It is hard work, but I don't mind doing it, and I feel called to the ministry, and God will bless me after all is said and done. But in the meantime, I do need to cover my expenses. I have a total of 34 websites (half English and half Spanish), and each one costs about $10 per month to keep up. That does not take into consideration my time and effort in writing content. Won't you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife 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 lest a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too though.

In the Heavenlies

by Harry A. Ironside

“In the Heavenlies” was originally copyrighted in 1937. This work has now lapsed into the public domain.

There is nothing redundant in God’s Word. Men write books and very frequently pad them in order to give quantity as well as quality, but there is nothing like that in the Bible. God’s words are tried—“as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times”—and therefore we may well give our most careful attention to every item and every expression used.

What is the outstanding theme of the Epistle to the Ephesians? It opens up the truth of the privileges and responsibilities of the church as the body and bride of Christ. It brings before us our position as believers who have been quickened, raised, and seated in Christ in heavenly places.

There are very remarkable similarities between certain Old Testament books and New Testament Epistles. The Epistle to the Romans, for instance, corresponds to the book of Exodus; the letter to the Hebrews is the counterpart of Leviticus; and the Epistle to the Ephesians is the New Testament book of Joshua. In Joshua we have the people of Israel entering the possession of their inheritance. In Ephesians believers are called to enter now by faith into the possession of that inheritance which eventually we shall enjoy in all its fullness. We are far richer than we realize. All things are ours, and yet how little we appropriate!

It is said in the prophecy of Obadiah that when the Lord returns and His kingdom is established, the people of Israel shall “possess their possessions.” This is a challenge to us. Do you possess your possessions? Or are your heavenly estates like castles in Spain about which you dream, but never really possess? I trust the Spirit of God may lead us into the present enjoyment of our inheritance in Christ. For our purpose the Epistle may be divided very simply, without breaking it up into many portions that would be difficult to carry in our memories. We shall divide it into two parts, the first three chapters giving us the doctrine, and the last three, the practical outcome; the first division gives us our inheritance, and the last, the behavior that should characterize those who are so richly blessed. Often that is the divine order of Scripture: instruction in the truth first, practice in accordance with the truth afterwards. Read more

NPNF1-02. St. Augustin’s City of God and Christian Doctrine

NPNF1-02. St. Augustin’s City of God and Christian Doctrine
NPNF1-02. St. Augustine’s City of God and Christian Doctrine

by Philip Schaff

Summary

This (888 page) pdf is Augustine’s work on the City of God which explains his views of God’s people versus the pagan world, mixing his views of predestination and election into this.

From Wikipedia.org

The City of God, is a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by Augustine of Hippo in the early 5th century AD. The book was in response to allegations that Christianity brought about the decline of Rome and is considered one of Augustine’s most important works, standing alongside The Confessions, The Enchiridion, On Christian Doctrine and On the Trinity. As a work of one of the most influential Church Fathers, The City of God is a cornerstone of Western thought, expounding on many profound questions of theology, such as the suffering of the righteous, the existence of evil, the conflict between free will and divine omniscience, and the doctrine of original sin.
