Hissy Fit! Hissy Fit! Hissy Fit!
Up front, I will tell you that this post will either have you shouting "Preach" or crying "Ouch". No alternative responses will be allowed! Get ready. Some will shout praises and others will throw a hissy fit. What is a hissy fit? A hissy fit is a hissy fit! (It can't be much simpler than that!) So, read on at your own discretion. In this present day, we, speaking of born-again, Jesus-loving, Bible-reading, Spirit-filled believers are in a league all of our own when it comes to building spiritual fences. Preach? Ouch? Let me explain. First, there are denominational fences. What should have...
Quotables
Recently, when Hurricane Ian threatened and then blasted through Florida, Vickie and I found ourselves without electricity for two days. Because of Ian, we were like the proverbial atheist when he died. We were all dressed up and had no place to go. (I know that you are rolling your eyes and shaking your head in disbelief at this attempt at humor.) We literally had nothing to do. Most of the businesses in our city were shut down due to the lack of power. Many streets were blocked by debris and fallen trees. Thankfully, this didn't last too long. During the blackout, I occupied much of my...
The Full-Service Holy Spirit
Back when I was a child in 1492 (that's no typo because at times it feels as though I am really that old), things were so different. Now, don't go rolling your eyes in judgment because our world has changed radically in your lifetime too. I could do pages and pages about these changes. What brought this to mind happened a few days ago as Vickie and I drove past a gas station. In reading about a gas station, I know that your mind immediately thought about the price of gasoline. I know that this will make me seem to be really old but I can remember my dad buying gasoline for 29¢ a gallon at...
Must-Have Resources
If you follow me on either my personal Facebook page (www.facebook.com/iambillyburns) and/or the Billy Burns Ministries page (www.facebook.com/billyburnsministries), you will often see me mention a just-published blog post and, in its promotion, the words "must-read". I use these words not because I think that I am anything special. To me, it's a must-read because the blogs are prompted by the Holy Spirit and are essential reads for those who want to follow after the Holy Spirit. Today's post is different. This isn't just a "must-read" post. This goes further in that it is also a "must-have"...
O Lord, Send the Pow’r Just Now
I know that my blog's readership is all over the demographic charts. Each week, it is read by people not only in the United States but also in other countries, young Holy Spirit lovers as well as, how can I kindly put this, not as young Holy Spirit lovers, and finally people of every kind of background. With that in mind, I know that this post will have significant meaning to some readers and others will be totally clueless. Here's the background. As I write this blog, it is early Friday evening, September 30. Right now, Vickie and I are sitting in an air-conditioned home, lights are on...
