My Bold New Year Resolutions
It's a new year. And, as you may well know, this is the time of year when people make their resolutions for the upcoming 12 months. It could be to lose weight or be more punctual or watch less television. Perhaps you have your own list of things resolutions to achieve in this new year. Well, if the truth be known, with this being the second full week of our new year, for most, their New Year resolutions are already a major disappointment. I read online that a 2007 study by Richard Wiseman from the University of Bristol involving 3,000 people showed that 88% of those who set New Year...
A Special Request from Billy Burns
A few days ago, we in children's ministry lost one of our heroes. Vince Saum (AKA Big Vinny) was a legend as an evangelist, children's pastor, and producer of incredible Christian children's television programs. Vince ministered in our South Florida church several times and ministered in our district Kid's Camps for many years and was a gigantic blessing.

I remember that one pastor made use of his weekly column in our local Brazoria County News newspaper to attack this move of God. Looking back, I now can see just how foolish his thoughts were. But, try as they may, these pastors and their...
Laugh Your Way into Revival
Let me share with you one of the number one ingredients to seeing a move of God in your life and ministry. It's summarized in just one word ... laugh. That's right. I'm not talking about a hee-hee, ha-ha snicker. I'm talking about having a good old-fashion, belly-wrenching, boisterous time of laughing and laughing some more until the tears of joy are running down your cheeks and you can barely breathe. Here's why this is important. Without reservation, I can guarantee that you've carefully and thoroughly looked at the way things are week after week after week. You've listened to the enemy...
