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. Only eternity will give an accurate record of his investment into the Kingdom. If you've followed me for an length of time at all, you know that I never mention money. But, I want to follow Paul's admonition to Timothy (1 Timothy 5:3) and...
Have I Got a Quote For You!!!
When I was in high school, a move of God's Spirit swept across our small south Texas town. People from the Baptist, Methodist, Nazarene, and other evangelical churches were being gloriously baptized in God's Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Needless to say, not every pastor in these churches took too kindly about what was going on. 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...

So, get ready, get ready, get ready! Let me introduce the Burns family … On the far left is our youngest son Aaron with his wife Kaity by his side. To the right of Kaity is our middle son Michael and his family. Michael's wife Katrina is holding their...
2016 Jacobs
Can you believe that 2015 is just days away from being history? What happened to the year? I'm thankful for this past year and God's leadership, guidance, and provision. He literally outdid Himself for us. But, 2015 is coming to a close and I have already set my eyes on the upcoming 2016. I have purposed in this upcoming year to have the resolve and tenacity of Jacob. You'll recall that it was Jacob who literally grabbed ahold of the messenger of the Lord and declared, "I will not let you go until ..." (Genesis 32:26) For Jacob, he was unrelentingly holding onto the Lord waiting for a...
