Jesus came and died because that relationship was broken by our sin; by our self-willed running of our own life; our way instead of God's way. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/designer-genes-and-chromosomes-6700 2012-09-14T10:09:37-05:00 When are you going to start celebrating what you are instead of focusing on what you aren't? You were made right! You're wired for daily contributions only you can make. And ultimately we can only discover the answer to the question, "Why am I here?" by belonging to the God who put us here http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/those-hard-hitting-holy-men-6372 2011-06-14T10:35:22-05:00 Listen to Jesus as He says to you, "Follow me." You'll find in His strength an intensity you were created to have in everything you do. And then, like your Master, you'll be one of those hard-hitting holy men. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/when-life-is-just-more-of-the-same-6323 2011-04-06T09:50:56-05:00 I'm thanking God today that life doesn't have to be a meaningless parade of days that replay the same old questions and the same old emptiness. On the day we step into the relationship we were made for, we step into the "more" God put us here for, and the search is over. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/template-for-awwy-transcripts 2010-12-15T15:07:43-05:00 The problem is that we've left the orbit we were made for. It's called sin - our stubborn self-rule of a life that God was supposed to run. Unless we can get back to the One we were made for, we'll live our whole life without the answer to why I'm here, and we will die without hope. But the Bible gives us incredible hope with this announcement: "Christ suffered for our sin...to bring you safely home to God" (1 Peter 3:18 ). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/living-a-much-bigger-life-6217 2010-11-09T09:47:39-05:00 You'll never have enough love until you have the only love that's everlasting. You'll never feel like your life really has meaning until you're part of something that's everlasting. You'll never be ready for eternity, whenever it comes, until you know for sure that you will have everlasting life in heaven. You can, if you pin all your hopes on Jesus Christ, who took the everlasting death we deserve for our sin. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-high-price-of-saving-your-life-6208 2010-10-27T11:11:40-05:00 It doesn't make sense to ignore the Rescuer or to push Him away. On His behalf, I beg you, let Jesus rescue you! He did all He could do so you could live, but it's your move now. He didn't stay dead. He rose from the dead, and He's knocking on the door of your heart this very day. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-peace-of-releasing-the-wheel-6178 2010-09-15T09:59:49-05:00 you have an opportunity to have every sin of your life erased from God's book, and trade hell for heaven. Jesus comes into your life when you tell Him, as a recent hit song says, "Jesus, take the wheel." You put your trust in Him because He gave His life for you. And He doesn't ride - He drives. It's time to give Him the wheel. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/saying-goodbye-to-what-s-been-holding-you-back-6120 2010-06-30T00:35:08-05:00 What a day this could be if you would make it your Jesus-day - the day you open your heart for Him to come in and forgive all the sin of your life and free you from the dependencies that have been holding you back. Just talk to Him where you are. Tell Him you're done driving your own life, that your only hope is Him and what He did on the cross for you, and that from this day on, you're His. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/obsessed-with-driving-6082 2010-05-05T16:32:48-05:00 You'll have to abandon trusting in yourself to let go and trust the Man who died and rose again for you. If you insist on hanging onto the wheel of your life, you will ultimately drive it over the cliff of an eternity away from God. And if you've got a family or people who follow you, you may even take others with you.
