I mean, even if you have to change jobs, if it takes that to be a father; to be a mother, that's eternity's priority. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/tim-tebows-really-bad-day-6565 2012-03-09T13:33:05-05:00 I can be totally sure of Jesus in the moments when there's nothing else I can be sure of. "We have this hope as an anchor, (the Bible says) firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19 ). I'm safe in His love because of how far His love reached for me. It went all the way to the cross where He poured our His life-blood to pay the price for my sin and for yours, and tear down the wall between God and us. 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-relationships/the-most-special-people-on-earth-6457 2011-10-11T10:31:38-05:00 Children teach us something about openness, simplicity, humility, and faith. They help us unmask and they are soft cement that can still be written on. They're so important! They're a life to be shaped. Take stock of who gets your best attention and remember that Jesus thinks the children are some of the most special people on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/capturing-the-time-in-between-6327 2011-04-12T10:09:55-05:00 There are many seasons in your life, but you feel like right now you're between two important things and you're not doing much. Well God says through this passage, where you are right now is important, not just where you're going to be. Give 100% to this assignment. Act as if you'll be there forever. Because in the course of capturing where you are, God will show you where you are going to be. This is God's will right now! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%202:3&version=NIV 2009-09-24T16:09:11-05:00 Selfishness, and actions done to bring glory or comfort for ourselves, are not characteristics of a Christ-follower. Christians are to act humbly and with an attitude of service toward others. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Life-s-Most-Important-Conversations-8040 2008-07-24T17:24:11-05:00 if you belong to Jesus, God has placed you in the lives of some folks who don’t belong to Him. He’s counting on you to tell them how they can have a relationship with Him. The question is how do you get started? http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Most-Important-Thing-You-ll-Ever-Do-8032 2008-07-24T17:14:56-05:00 If you belong to Him, it’s not random where you are. He put you there to be His light—to point people to Him.
