You need a Christian in-vironment. You need Christ in you, not around you. You don't need to rebel against your parent's commitment just to prove your individuality, you've got to find your own commitment to Christ...personal, powerful, and stronger than your parent's. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/someone-else-shuts-the-door-6832 2013-03-19T09:51:14-05:00 Today the door is open! God paid with the blood of His Son for you to go to heaven, but you've got to come while He's calling. You can meet Jesus at His cross today. He's been waiting for you there. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/going-through-the-motions-6685 2012-08-27T14:49:31-05:00 It's possible to know all about Jesus, but not really know Jesus, if you've missed the one step that makes the Savior your Savior. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/dont-open-your-gift-too-soon-6642 2012-06-26T09:38:50-05:00 Whatever you've done until now, commit yourself to protect and restore the specialness of sex. And don't ruin it by opening it too soon. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-agenda-that-really-matters-6586 2012-04-09T09:51:38-05:00 If God has trusted you with a young life - a child - make meaningful time with that child a non-negotiable of your schedule. I mean, even if you have to change jobs, if it takes that to be a father; to be a mother, that's eternity's priority. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-right-word-for-sex-6544 2012-02-10T09:43:55-05:00 When the physical starts to be strong in a relationship, it will often mask the weaknesses in that relationship. Many people have married the wrong person because their passion blinded them. They were kept from really ever knowing the other person, and they made a life-long mistake. Remember, the Inventor always knows best, and the Inventor of sex knows best: two people in a lifetime knowing experience. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6700 2012-01-06T10:27:38-05:00 To paraphrase the 1990's election slogan (in response to the unspoken question "What's the priority?"), we might respond to "What's the key to effective evangelism?" with the answer: "It's the relationships, silly." Most lasting conversions are the result of an ongoing relationship with one or more believers. http://truewoman.com/?id=1646 2011-04-15T10:07:08-05:00 Doesn’t it seem that whenever you make a commitment to follow the Lord more faithfully, that commitment is tested? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/intimate-bonding-6271 2011-01-24T09:25:56-05:00 Have you played with God's bonding gift of sex? Well, confess that to Him. Let Him cleanse you as 1 John 1:9 promises He will, that "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us all our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Make it right. Reserve it for one relationship, and then use it unselfishly. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/i-ll-watch-your-back-6262 2011-01-11T11:36:45-05:00 Love always protects. Don't be one of those attackers in the underbrush. Commit yourself to the people in your world as a loving protector, and be remembered as the one who lived out love with this commitment, "I'll watch your back."
