Action, Progress, Habit In A Walk With God

by Kevin Burton    There is a song I love by the band Chicago called “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is.” Did you ever notice, it starts with walking?    The song’s philosophical statement is about the rat race. It’s about living up to the world’s standards and being in a big, ever-increasing …

Hell Is Eternal, Jesus Died To Save You From It

by Kevin Burton    “I have been through hell,” was a quote from one of the Israeli hostages released this week by Hamas.     Maam, you have been through severe trauma of a degree I can’t imagine, but you have not been through hell.    You don’t get through hell. The Bible says hell is …

Breakfast With Jesus, Can You Imagine?

by Kevin Burton    Last Sunday on Page 7 we talked about breakfast. Today, even better food for thought.    Did you know, there’s a new day coming?  I mean a totally new day. A capitalized New Day kind of new day.    Think about it, breakfast with Jesus!    In John 21:12, Jesus issues …

Why God Gives Us What He Gives Us

by Kevin Burton    The strength God supplies you, the material resources, the breath of life itself, were given for a reason.    Service.    There is joy in the Lord, but we as Christians  are not on a joyride here on earth. We have a job to do.    “For we are His workmanship, created …

The Bible Speaks Of Faith In Every Sense

Living As Lights In A Crooked World

by Kevin Burton    It took exactly three verses for the Bible to start talking about light.    “Let there be light,” God said. And there was light.    Read backward to Genesis 1:2 and you see that “the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”    …

What I Couldn’t Remember, I Now Can’t Forget

by Kevin Burton       The Scrabble words deployed against you that get you beat; those are the ones you remember the best.    Something kind of similar happened with my Bible memory verses recently.    I’ve written previously about my memory verses, typed on paper, taped onto index cards of various colors.  I am up …

There Is Wrong, And There’s Dead Wrong

by Kevin Burton   Say to me LeBron James is the best basketball player ever. Wrong. Tell me mayonnaise in any form is anything other than an affront to the senses (all of them). Wrong.    Tell me dogs are more loving than cats and I’ll tell you that you’re measuring love in terms of …
