In God We Go From Strength To Strength
by Kevin Burton On those seemingly rare occasions when I am able to wrestle a problem to the ground and tie it up in a bow, I’ve been known to say “on to the next crisis.” The idea behind that proclamation: here I am, buffeted by the storm, what evil circumstance is coming …
What Is The Meaning Of Nyro’s “Stoney End”?
by Kevin Burton One of the greatest vocal performances in my time as a consumer of pop music is on a song that leaves me deeply conflicted; Stoney End by Barbara Streisand. The song grabbed me on some level immediately upon its 1971 release, even before I had the life experience to understand …

Let’s Get Going On Doing God’s Agenda
by Kevin Burton Both my wife and my mother will ask me occasionally, “What’s on your agenda?” It’s a good question that I am looking at differently today. Pastor Alistair Begg, speaker on the Truth For Life ministry, touched on that subject in a recent message. He used one of my memory verses …
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 …
