Spiritual Graduation: Heaven Or Hell
by Kevin Burton This time of year, high school seniors are starting to smell that finish line. Graduation smells like freedom, I remember.

To Be More Like God, Truly Hate Sin
by Dane Massey (Dane Massey is the former Pastor of Mulvane Christian Church. He is now in ministry in Houston, Texas.) I have spent this week mining treasure in the wilderness. I’m defining the wilderness as those seasons when we find ourselves agreeing with the Psalmist in Psalms 10:1: “Why standest …
Spread The Word At Home And Beyond
by Kevin Burton Peter walked on water, Thomas doubted. Quick, what did Andrew do? If you can’t answer that question, you’re not alone.

My ABCs: B Is For Bible
by Kevin Burton I had tremendous fun in the late 90s wielding one phrase, a question actually. It was “based on what are you saying that?” I eventually shortened it to “based on what?” It’s not trademarked. Feel free to try it out if you wish. It started at a job …
Prayer Is Essential For The Christian
by Kevin Burton It’s lunch time again at our school for the spiritually blind, time to refuel. We’re in our second set of classes, heading toward graduation. This series comes from the fact that to be spiritually blind is far worse than being physically blind. In our first semester we refueled at …
