Well hey there, hello hello! Welcome back to The Burt (Not Ernie) Show - this is episode 75. I would like to jump right in today, and read a verse from the NT. As I read, would you think to yourself, “What exactly is the Lord promising to me in this verse?”    2 Thessalonians 3:3 (AMP) But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guar...

Today I am going to talk a bit about the promises God has made to us, given to us, is continually day after day after day holding out to us, in Psalm 91.   One of my friends, Sara, has this psalm as her life verses. Boy oh boy, she prays them over her family and she is a living testimony of how powerful this psalm is.    I cannot think of a more timely passage of the Bible to grab hold of and to a...

Today I am going to read a bunch of Bible verses to you and let the promises of God sink into your heart, into your mind (which changes the way that we think and that, my friend, changes the way that we live).   God keeps all of His promises so I want to encourage you today to live like you know He is keeping all of His promises to you. To your family. To your local church. To the church all aroun...

In this episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show we will take a look at what God has promised to us from Romans 16:20 & will also discuss how to apply this verse to our prayer lives.   Sadly, I recorded this episode immediately following the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August of 2021. As a military family, this has touched a nerve. As a follower of Jesus, this has wrenched my heart.   Our fe...

One huge thing to keep in mind about authentically Biblical generosity is, of course, John 3 16 - God so loved that world that He gave (gave - that’s generosity in action) His one and only Son that whosoever should believe in Him would have everlasting life.   It’s a very drastic different kind of generosity as compared to what the world considers generous.    We have probably all been witness to...

Today for the show, we are looking at a promise but also sort of taking a glance, a little look, at the life of someone from the OT.  You may have heard of her before. Her name is Hagar. And we find the story of her life, or at least the portions of her life that were recorded in the Bible, in Genesis. Chapters 16 and 21.   I am going to read first from Chapter 21 and then bounce back to Chapter 1...

Joshua 8:18 - AMP - Then the LORD said  to Joshua, “Reach out with the spear that is in your hand (and point it) toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand.” So Joshua reached out with the spear in his hand (and pointed it) toward the city.   It is remarkable to read the LORD speaking to Joshua in this verse. It sort of stops me in my tracks in a way when I see the Lord speaking to anyone! It’s...

I am going to read it from two different translations today - the KJV and the AMP. So let me read the AMP first, then the KJ, and then just the AMP once more to bring it full circle as we take a look at what God is promising us here. And as I read, can you do me a big favor? Would you take a second and think that the One who is saying these words, the One who is actually making this promise I am a...

Psalm 93:1 - 5  (CSB) God’s Eternal Reign   The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty;  The LORD is robed, enveloped in strength. The world is firmly established;  It cannot be shaken.   Your throne has been established from the beginning; You are from eternity.   The floods have lifted up, LORD,  The floods have lifted up their voice;  The floods lift up their pounding waves.   Greater than the roa...

The plan for episode 64 is simply to speak God’s living and active word over you today and to stress (think about those grammar stress marks, they tell you which part of a word to stress in order to pronounce it correctly - well I hope to stress some stuff & to pronounce some things correctly over your life, and over my life, what God has in store for us). To emphasize what could use some emphasiz...

Hebrews 3: 12 & 13 Amplified ~ Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart (which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart) that turns away from the living God. But continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today’ (and there is an opportunity), so that none of you will be hardened (into settled rebellion) by the...

Psalm 23 1 - 6 NLT  The LORD is my shepherd; I have what I need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.  He renews my life;  He leads me along the right paths for His name’s sake. Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for You are with me;  Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;...

Psalm 92:12-15 (Amplified) The righteous will flourish like the date palm (long-lived, upright, and useful); they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon (majestic and stable). Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. (Growing in grace) they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; they will flourish and be vital and fresh (rich in trust and love and...
