Be sure Jesus is the picture that you keep looking at. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/hold-your-fire-6474 2011-11-03T14:26:01-05:00 In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul says, "Do not repay anyone evil for evil; do not take revenge, but leave room for God's wrath." Let God even the score; He's much better at it than you are. Jesus turned to His Father for justice. An eye for an eye is not the way of Jesus. Even from His cross He says of those who have nailed Him to that cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." That's the example for us. 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/saved-by-a-habit-6397 2011-08-08T11:44:22-05:00 Program your life to glorify God in what would normally be really lost because you don't feel like it or you forget it. Well, it's in those times you'll be saved by a habit. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-danger-of-a-drifting-light-6168 2010-09-01T10:25:50-05:00 For the sake of the people who are watching your light, you can't afford to drift into negativity, or criticism, or cynicism, or some rebellious attitude. They'll follow you there. If you drift into selfishness, or carelessness about what you look at or listen to. If you drift into gossip, discouragement, compromise, it won't be just you going there. You're affecting other people's course every day. Don't lead them toward the rocks. You've got to hold your position. You're the light! http://internetevangelismday.com/communication-channel.php 2010-08-08T09:36:04-05:00 This block of pages offers help and ideas on a range of topics relating to evangelism, both online and offline.

We follow the example laid out for us in the life of Jesus Christ. Here, he models a life defined by service to others, and calls us to imitate him. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Your-Best-Weapon-is-Your-Teeth-4427 2008-08-28T14:12:16-05:00 Our word for today from the Word of God comes from {bible}Nehemiah 2:1{bible}. Now, Nehemiah works for the king (he's the king's cup bearer), and he's pretty down because of news he's gotten about conditions back home. The Bible says, "I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before. So the king asked me, 'Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.'" http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/The-Waves-You-re-Making-4371 2008-08-27T16:01:25-05:00 If you've ever spent much time by a lake, it's something you've experienced for yourself. Long after the boat has passed, the waves it created are still making an impact. Our lives are like that. Long after we've passed on, the waves our choices have made are still impacting many other lives. In our "now is all that matters" culture, it's easy to forget how much our choices matter and how long their effects last. It's about so much more than this moment. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Hiding-In-Plain-Sight-4262 2008-08-21T11:37:46-05:00 When I heard those words - "hidden in plain sight" - I thought to myself, "That phenomenon is not unique." There's something that everyone is looking for ... and it's right there in front of them ... but it's hiding, in plain sight. Because the people who know about it have got it covered up. What's hidden is Jesus and what He did on the cross for every person.
