Isaiah 55:8-11 May God continue to bless you and your family.
this blessed my heart!
We are praying for you and your family and giving praise to the Lord for the victory over death he secured for us and the victory you are experiencing through His grace and power as you glorify Him in your loss and spread the gospel!
god what more can you say
I remember listening to Rick nd Bubba when I lived in Anniston, and hearing this tragity broke my heart. But God is Good! AMEN! What Satan means to destroy, God will use for his glory, if you let him, will turn it into good! Our God is the greatest comforter there is! AMEN! James 1:17-18 //pslam 67 1:1 // pslam 147:3
I lost my mom in oct 07 from cancer. i was feeling so down i was missing her so much feeling so sorry for myself and your testimony made me wake up and realize that my mom is in heaven and she did not die in vain because your whole family is in church and we see the power of Jesus. Thank you so much for opening up yourself because it has allowed me to see things clearer now. THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Rick, We lost my wife’s sister on Dec. 27, 2007 and Your testimony multiplies our belief!
I have watched this entire testimony over and over. Each time, I hear something that I did not hear before; it makes me feel closer to my God and Saviour each and every time. My Christain love to the entire Burgess family. May God bless and keep you all safe in his comfort and love.
When we face adversity like this, the world calls it something like backbone or courage. GOD is really showing His infinite love for each one of us and reminding us that He sees all and will do ALL He can to bring us into His Kingdom. My father and brother died unexpectedly by terrible means; twenty years later and almost five years ago, my oldest son named after me and my earthly father died in His sleep. We can all join them IF we listen to the truth in Romans 10:9-10. Heed the call.
How powerful! I wish everyone could see this
and understand the Love that God has for us all. There is a song we love to sing- the words are “as you travel down lifes road he is with you every day-with every step you take he has walked ahead of you” Just know that he is in the midst. God Bless you and your family. What a great impact Little Bronner is having on this world. Christian Friends in Mississippi.
Ricky, Sheri and children. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I too have been right were you are. I lost a son. I too spoke at his funeral. I immediately knew I had to stand and bear my testimony that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. It is not easy and the road is long. This has charged my heart with renewed conviction to share the gospel and to continue on doing what the Lord would have me do in this life to praise and honor him. Hold on brother and sister hold on.
im here to say this has made me change my life..my prayers are with u and ur family…i want people to see GOD LIVING IN ME like he is living in you..
I set here speechless in awe of your strength in Christ. So many times in a situation such as this , I’ve heard people ask :Why did God put me through this? Well the Key words are through this. This means that you’ve made it through the trials, and they are now behind you. So God didn’t put you through it , He brought you through it.
I lift the Burgess family in prayer.
Powerful! Just reading these messages confirm the impact your family’s faith in our Lord has had on the world. Our prayers are with you always. May God continue to bless you with his strength, peace, and love. Thank you
What a powerful statement when you said that someone has your precious child that loves him more than you do. You are so right.
Great call to action! We need to take on the full armour of God and fight the good fight. Be about His business: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, and loving a lost and dying world.
I am sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family
This was an amazing message that only God could have got you through this! Your faith has made me really think about how I live my life and how I need to praise God every day for all the blessings I have in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Sherry and your children and I love you all for standing up for your beliefs. May God bless you all!
There are not words to describe how thankful I am that I could witness this video. MY father called me today to tell me how powerful this was in his heart and now I can not wait for my next opportunity to share this video, as well as the gospel. My prayers are with your family and your faith has awakened my family. Thank you Bronner!
Well done…good and faithful servant. Only Christ could be holding this family together. He allowed Him to speak thru Rick. Our prayers are with your family. We should all honor Christ through Bronner’s death. We are all challenged daily to do this. On with the battle.
What a wonderful thing that has come out of this tragic accident… for you to be sharing the word of God so fervently, and such determination. Bronner was so lucky to have such a man of God as a father. Please keep sharing the word. Everything happens for a reason… may God bless your family.
It has been a while since I have been inspired. I watched all three videos and loved them. My preacher mentioned these at church and I watched them. Thank you.
