by Kevin Burton It blows me away that the sovereign God of the universe knows me by name, and in fact knows me inside and out. In this world I am anonymous, well beyond insignificant. I make almost no difference at all in the grand scheme of things. Think of it that way …

Warm Hearts Providing Help In A Cold World
by Kevin Burton Surely you’ve noticed the double cold of the world. Here’s a warm ray of hope from the Good News Network.

Obedience To God Is Key In The Christian Life
by Kevin Burton Teach us this day oh Lord, that “obey” is not Pig Latin, but a central and essential message of the Bible. I’m not sure which preacher it was that said the Ten Commandments are nor ten suggestions and of course everybody knows that without being told. But this is a …

Find The Good Life In Christ And None Other
by Kevin Burton At a commencement ceremony in Columbus years ago I heard the speaker admonish us to not “confuse what is clever with what is wise.” That stuck with me. Some of the commercials I endure while watching the NFL on Sundays are clever. But there is very little wisdom to …

Sometimes God Uses Turmoil For Our Growth
by Kevin Burton My track coach Jim Rimmer was the first one I heard say “no pain, no gain.” I didn’t love hearing that then, but I knew he was right. I knew I would be running past my comfort zone, until my ribs began to hurt, then keep going. But I knew …
