Three Thieves of Intimacy with the Holy Spirit
Those wanting to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit must learn to create opportunities to be with Him. You see, relationships are birthed out of being together with the Holy Spirit. It is a time investment. Sadly, we often are just too busy. This busyness and the abundance of other priorities inevitably causes the longing to be in His presence and to have communion with Him to be pushed further and further down in our list of priorities. Eventually, the desire for intimacy fades away leaving us spiritually dry and empty. Knowing that this isn't your desire, allow me to share the three...
It’s Your Move!
Here's a little known fact about Billy Burns. I am hopelessly addicted to playing word games. (If there is a support group for this addiction, I don't want to be a part of it.) I absolutely LOVE any kind of word game. To show you my passion for this addiction, I have on my iPhone 14 different word games. I could (and do) spend as much time as possible playing these games. And, to feed this addiction, the iPhone has a Scrabble-type app called Words With Friends. Several of Trinity's pastoral staff have this game on their iPhones and are involved in a Words With Friends tournament. Right now,...

TODAY is the day of the Holy Ghost. Many reading this blog have never been in our conferences and have never heard why I write and say "TODAY...
A Personal Note from Billy
Is this year really almost over? Wasn't it just yesterday that we were beginning 2009? What happened? How could 365 days disappear so quickly? What a year. God has opened up so many doors. In addition to our conferences here in the United States, we also had the opportunity to minister in Trinidad and Austria. The readership to the Billy Burns Ministries blog that you are reading right now is soaring. In the last 30 days, individuals from 39 states in the United States and from 39 nations have hit on the blog. There is truly a hunger for a move of God among children's ministries and their...
