They always accomplish what they are intended to accomplish. We need never worry overmuch about how people seem to be reacting to God's Word, because we know that whatever purpose God has in mind, it will be accomplished, whether or not we think we've succeeded. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Good-News-When-You-re-Out-of-Gas-8141 2008-11-25T11:29:57-05:00 There was a time in my life when I was running on empty spiritually until someone told me were they got their empty tank filled; at the cross where Jesus died to remove the sin that makes possible a personal relationship with God, the relationship we were made for that leaves a hole in our heart until we know Him.

You're tired, depleted, maybe it looks like you're without hope, sort of like you're dead. Maybe you've even got some vultures circling you, telling you it's over. It's time to defy the vultures! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Life-Changing-Heart-Surgery-4246 2008-08-21T15:45:37-05:00 Now, while medical history records that the first heart transplant was performed by Dr. Barnard in the 1960s, real heart transplants were actually pioneered millennia ago - by the Master Heart Surgeon. And this miraculous procedure is more life changing than any medical procedure could ever be.
