Charged and Ready
Last night, it happened again. I am almost embarrassed to admit this mistake. Remember, I am only human. I pray that this confession won't cause you to take me off of the high and lofty pedestal on which you have placed me. (That's just a joke, folks!) Here's my shortcoming. Last night, I was so, so, so tired that I failed to place my iPhone on its charger as I was going to bed. It was a horrible, egregious mistake. But I take comfort in these three facts. It's not the first time that this has happened and I lived through it. It's not going to be the last time that it will happen. And the...
A Miracle!
Ready to see a miracle? A miracle? Yep. In less than two hundred words, I'll summarize last Sunday's message that took many, many words to share. I've got my word counter turned on. So here I go. One of my all-time favorite scriptures is... "Most assuredly, I say unto you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." John 14:12 (NKJV) For us to do the same and greater kind of works, we need to see how Jesus did what He did. Note - It wasn't due to His deity. Philippians 2 tells us that He became as we are....
Spirit to Spirit
Before I share the blog post, let me tell you about my day today. It's been WONDERFUL. Here's why. Earlier today, I scheduled my DVR to record a whole lot of classic war movies during this Memorial Day Weekend. You know that the movies are going to be great because they are black and white movies produced in the 1940s and 1950s and especially great because they have the likes of John Wayne, Gary Cooper, William Holden, and Gregory Peck acting in them. A spiritual day? Well, maybe. Who knows, Jesus may be a John Wayne fan! And now, the blog post. From time to time, there are those who will...
Kids Are People Too!
I wrote in a recent Billy Burns Ministries newsletter that I am passionately working on getting six long overdue and much-needed books written and published. One of the three books that I am writing specifically for children is tentatively titled Kids Who Know Their God based on Daniel 11:32. "...but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (New King James Version) Allow me to place an emphasis on just one word of God's declaration. "...but the PEOPLE who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (New King James Version) This is what...
A Bunch of Yeps!
Just a quick thought. For those questioning the need for believers (that's people like you and me) living in 2023 (again, that's people like you and me) to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, let me remind you of the command that Jesus issued to His followers (again and again once more, that's people like you and me). "Listen carefully: I am sending the Promise of My Father [the Holy Spirit] upon you; but you are to remain in the city [of Jerusalem] until you are clothed (fully equipped) with power from on high." Luke 24:49 (Amplified Bible) "While being together and eating with them, He...
