I Wish You Christmas Merriness, With Jesus

by Kevin Burton     Well, the big day has come, and I wish you a Merry Christmas!    This covers today and all Christmases. Even after I die, if you’re still chugging along and remember me, remember that old Kev wished you a Merry Christmas.    But on this Christmas Day I have a bigger …

Like Paul, Let Us Glory In Our Weakness

by Kevin Burton    Even the Apostle Paul asked God the question, made the request. So I don’t feel quite as bad about not initially embracing my own weakness.    In fact, Paul asked three times.    My idea is to acknowledge weakness when I must, but then work to try to get rid of …

Keeping Christ In Christmas At Our House

by Kevin Burton    Only one snack company has permission to send me e-mails; Herr’s chips, based in Nottingham, Pennsylvania.    I love their red-hot chips.    Herr’s sent me an e-mail Wednesday with the subject “Merry Chip-mas!”    And I just sighed.    It didn’t make me angry, but it also didn’t make me …

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 …

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

by Kevin Burton    As a legally blind man my mind never gets too far from vision as the five sense in general.    That is partly because people often assume and talk about hearing being more acute for blind people than for others. That’s not true. It’s just that blind people rely on hearing …

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.”    …
