by Kevin Burton I actually did this, I promise. Neither Winston Churchill nor any other learned observer from the past, present or future, would have called this “my finest hour.” I bring you this, even though there may be somebody reading Page 7 for the first time today. Sheesh. There was a …

Use The Whole Armor Of God All Of The Time
by Kevin Burton A policeman, a hockey goalie, a beekeeper, all of them use protective equipment to do their jobs. And they don’t leave part of that protection in their locker. Even more so, a believer can’t afford to go into battle without taking all the weapons God has prepared for us. The …

Cookies Crumble, But Our Love Marches On
by Kevin Burton Late last month my wife Jeannette did something to jeopardize our marriage. We were at Subway and I heard her say to the sandwich artist, “..and we want three chocolate chip cookies…” Three chocolate chip cookies. As you know, three is an uneven number. It’s quite a bit …
A Defense Of The Resurrection For Easter

Quiet Mornings With God, In My Corner
by Kevin Burton There is a recliner in my corner, beaten, battered and blue. On the night I received the keys to the Mancave I was told by the proprietor, “You can get rid of that.” But I kept the chair because it was beaten, battered and blue. You see my late …
Speak Up Christian, Wherever You Are
by Kevin Burton If you know the way, show the way. This admonition for Christians to share the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, has been said many times and in many ways. It’s amazing and scandalous that we – I include myself in this – don’t speak up …
