"I hate divorce" He says. When marriage becomes a multiple choice test, use every choice there is to fight for your marriage. And be sure that divorce is not one of the choices. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/bible-bloating-6180 2010-09-17T11:29:36-05:00 As you read the Bible, ask yourself two questions: "What is God saying here?" And "What am I going to do differently today because He said it?" God's Holy Spirit knows all about God's Word and all about your life. Each day ask God to show you how to bring those two together. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/exclusive-use-2288 2009-10-01T10:26:31-05:00 Maybe you have been taken over by your recreation, by television, by your search for a mate. Maybe you are really controlled by the pain of the past, or the anger or the bitterness in your heart, your ambition, your pride. Whatever it is, it didn't, and it probably wouldn't die for you. Nobody loves you like Jesus. Nobody else should have your allegiance, your best. You were created for the exclusive use of the one who purchased you with His blood to be used for what He wants to accomplish where you work, where you go to school, where you live, in what you buy, in what you own, in what you watch, in what you listen to. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%201:28-29&version=NIV 2009-08-26T16:18:28-05:00 The apostle Paul here identifies the one cause that he devotes his entire life's labor to: teaching and discipling followers of Jesus. That's the great work to which all Christians are called. http://sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=825 2008-01-08T09:23:59-05:00 Busyness! Do we sometimes imagine that this is something good? That energy and industriousness stand behind it? Or at least that it is necessary so that we can achieve something? No. Busyness separates us from Jesus. It is a sin and has a negative effect upon my life of faith...
