Be the person that God made for a unique role that you are destined to fulfill. You compare with somebody else? You'll never get off the ground. You try to copy someone else, and you will never be the person you were created to be. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/knowing-how-long-youll-live-6793 2013-01-24T10:08:25-05:00 God's got work for you to do. The fact that you woke up this morning means that God has a destiny for you for this day. He's delivered you from every lion in your life so you could finish what He's put you on earth to do. What a way to live: fearlessly, confident, significantly! The Lord will rescue you from every attack except one. And that will be when He takes you safely to His heavenly kingdom. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/sad-success-6547 2012-02-14T12:02:35-05:00 For 2,000 years, Jesus has been the sustaining fulfillment for millions of us when life's spotlights go off. He's been the one love that's cherished us like no other, to the point of laying down His life so we wouldn't have to die for our sins. Until we commit ourselves to this God who gave His life for us and then rose from the grave to be alive to come into our life, our hearts are, in the Bible's words, "like the tossing sea which cannot rest...there is no peace" (Isaiah 57:20-21 ). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-question-that-settles-the-questions-6470 2011-11-03T14:20:26-05:00 Have the courage to do what Jesus would do. What would John Wayne do? Well, that's a little shaky basis for a decision. But what would Jesus do? If that's your bottom line all day every day, you won't go wrong. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-five-minute-winner-6325 2011-04-08T12:22:01-05:00 There's a much larger, more lasting success than you could possibly construct. Ultimately, your success is not the result of your degree, or your plan, or your intelligence, or your hard work. It's the result of the blessing of Almighty God - those few minutes in the morning when you say, "Oh Lord, give me success today." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-best-thing-god-ever-did-for-you-6091 2010-05-17T16:26:22-05:00 When your little time here on earth ends, there's really only one thing that will really matter. What did you do with God's Son? http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/rooting-for-the-underdog-8230 2009-09-11T13:24:15-05:00 I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and it is cool when someone you’d never expect to even be in the game ends up winning it all, which is a pattern I’ve seen in the heroes of the Bible. God loves to make champions out of those that others would call, and who even call themselves, underdogs. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%206:10&version=NIV 2009-08-17T17:40:25-05:00 This passage laments the fixed nature of destiny--God has already decreed what will happen, and there's no point struggling against it. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Trip-Planning-8117 2008-10-13T10:32:41-05:00 You know, a lot of people think of life as a journey and you can’t figure out the plan for that trip from the internet or brochures or a GPS device. Even now most of us are facing a whole bunch of things in our future that are beyond our control, that are loaded with unknowns, so much we can’t figure out, can’t make happen.
