He did the dying so we would never have to. And there's no wait for your new heart. He's been waiting for you to call. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/dont-ever-get-used-to-the-smell-6606 2012-05-15T10:01:45-05:00 Sin stinks! It's the rotting odor of death, no matter how glamorously it is perfumed. So, don't get used to the smell. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/within-my-reach-6519 2012-01-05T09:28:54-05:00 We can't just wait for that "professional rescuer" or "someone who has the gift of evangelism" to attempt the rescue. The rescue responsibility rests with the believer who is there. There's nothing random about where we work or where we live or recreate or go to school. You've been divinely positioned to be God's designated "lifeguard" for your stretch of beach. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/tsunami-heroes-6401 2011-08-08T11:48:02-05:00 The tsunami of death and judgment is coming. The warning has been sounded. The lives of the people around you depend on someone leading them to the high ground of Jesus' cross. You are their chance, and you're a candidate to be one of Heaven's heroes. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/holding-on-tight-6393 2011-08-08T11:41:12-05:00 God has promised that He will hold on tight to the one He has saved. And I'll tell you, in the cascading waters of these uncertain times we're living in that's really good to know. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/life-giving-love-6312 2011-03-22T09:41:14-05:00 It really matters to God what you do with His Son, after the sacrifice His Son made for you. Don't miss this chance to belong to Him. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-wreckage-of-a-runaway-mouth-6196 2010-10-11T09:19:30-05:00 God's provided a place where a life hurtling toward the cliffs of eternity can stop its deadly downward race. It's not a ramp. It's a cross. The cross where Jesus died to absorb all that our sin could do to us: its shame, its guilt, its power, its eternal punishment. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-missing-messenger-6146 2010-08-12T10:41:22-05:00 Blood on our hands because of the silence of our lips. Don't let that happen to you or to the people God is counting on you to tell about His Son. Whatever fear of what might happen if you told them about Jesus, could it possibly be as fearful as what will happen if you don't tell them? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/together-on-the-outside-broken-on-the-inside-6109 2010-06-10T11:40:38-05:00 That saving, that spiritual rescue from certain death, did not come cheap. It cost God the life of His Son. It took the sacrifice of the only perfect life there ever was to absorb God's punishment for all your sin. And it took His resurrection from the dead to open the way for you to live with God forever in heaven; forgiven, clean, and one of His kids forever. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/breaking-through-thick-ice-6062 2010-04-06T09:44:21-05:00 As you pray, God may very well show you things that He wants you to do, things He wants you to change. They may be part of what has created the ice. Tell Him, "Lord, here's my heart. Take it wherever You want it to go." And then open yourself up to the warmth of His love, and grace, and goodness, and His amazing ability to do whatever it takes to get our attention.
