by Kevin Burton Most of the words I share today come from Truth For Life, the Cleveland ministry founded by Alistair Begg. But I also imagine them coming also from my late mother. They are words she might well have spoken in her final days. Mom died May 4. She had close …

My Friend, “Prepaid” Is The Only Way To Go
by Kevin Burton I called the cemetery where my mother will be buried next week and told the clerk that the time had come. The clerk was actually en route to work. She said she would look up our family’s records once she got there, and call me back. “Everything is paid …

Fill In The Blank: To Live Is ______
by Kevin Burton One of my teachers planted a question in our minds: “Where is the front?” His idea was that once you know, and everyone agrees on, which side of an object or a building is the front, you can go on describing the object, giving instructions about it. You have it …
He Is Risen! There Is Hope For The Hopeless
by Kevin Burton Your tombstone and mine will land with the thud of finality. Jesus’ tombstone was pushed aside in very short order. This was God’s plan, and we rejoice in it today on Easter, as we serve a risen Savior, who conquered death to make a way for us to be saved. …

Every Night Is Trash Night For God’s Children
by Kevin Burton The trash company changed our trash night a couple of weeks ago. That put some unwelcomed wrinkles into our routine. Trash night used to be Sunday night/Monday morning. Now it is Monday night/Tuesday morning. There is just enough time between the end of the 3:30 NFL game and the …

Dear Christian, Here’s Your Attitude Check
