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-most-important-relationship/royal-babies-6807 2013-02-12T10:20:30-05:00 We never really understand our worth until we have a personal relationship with the One who gave us our worth in the first place. 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-relationships/emotional-clearasil-6790 2013-01-18T11:07:04-05:00 When a woman feels like royalty, she starts to act like it. You won't change her by nagging, and yelling, ignoring her, name-calling, being harsh with her, attacking her, criticizing her. In fact, all you will probably do is delay the change. You change your wife as Christ changes us. And how does He do it? By patient, attentive, self-sacrificing, dying on a cross love. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/being-a-winning-head-coach-6787 2013-01-15T10:07:16-05:00 Start spending some time getting your family together spiritually and getting with the Lord together. Get them in the Lord's presence together. The only way you can fail at this is to not try. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/generals-with-secrets-6782 2013-01-08T16:22:42-05:00 The moment a man is most powerful is when he finally realizes his powerlessness to fix himself when he bows his knee at the foot of Jesus' cross. You will not conquer until you've been conquered. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/another-at-bat-6756 2012-12-03T09:35:23-05:00 Jesus is the God of another chance...of a new beginning. He fights for you when others have counted you out. He offers restoration when others offer only condemnation. He refuses to give up on you even when you've given up on yourself. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/you-need-a-love-triangle-6722 2012-10-16T11:05:50-05:00 Before you get married, wait for someone who is joined to Jesus as you are, because it is worth the wait. And after you marry, practice His presence daily in your home. A love triangle with Jesus as that real third person is the strongest bond on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/wasted-bullets-6708 2012-09-26T14:23:00-05:00 Our last resort, usually, is prevailing prayer. The kind when we get on our knees, we confess our total bankruptcy in the situation, we surrender all our schemes, we allow a total Holy Spirit takeover, we invoke the cross and the blood of Christ against our enemy. When you do that, Satan crumbles to his knees. He's rendered powerless by the spiritual kryptonite of fervent prayer. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/never-box-with-a-shadow-6705 2012-09-21T10:30:23-05:00 The enemy loves to have us waste our ammunition on each other so we won't get together to fight him. Hello! He's the real enemy. 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
