Mr. Bingley was good looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant countenance and easy, unaffected manners. His brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, merely looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, […] http://faithgateway.com/is-my-pain-talking/ 2013-10-04T14:53:19-05:00 We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. — 2 Corinthians 10:5 Thought for the Day: Our Lord doesn’t whisper shameful condemnations. Have you ever been in a situation where something little felt really big? Maybe a look from someone that suddenly makes you feel they don’t like you at all. Or when someone doesn’t return […] http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-survivor-tree-6620 2012-05-29T10:04:14-05:00 Our only hope is clinging to the tree where God's judgment fell on His Son. Or, more importantly, to cling to the One who died on that tree, which means abandoning all other hopes: our pride, our religion, our self-reliance. And realizing we are as desperate and as helpless as a man being swept out to sea, and then clinging to the One whose death on that tree for us is literally our only hope - your only hope. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/escaping-the-flood-or-not-6435 2011-09-09T09:32:38-05:00 It's eternally important that you answer the door and let Jesus save you. The Bible cries out, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart" (Hebrews 4:7 ). 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/a-precarious-planet-6399 2011-08-08T11:46:24-05:00 Every day on this planet, a "tsunami" called death sweeps 150,000 people into eternity ready or not. Since it happens with, you know, one heart attack here and one traffic accident there, we don't see it on the news like we do an attack of a killer wave. But it's real, it's relentless, and it's coming my way. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-audit-of-a-lifetime-6378 2011-06-22T12:19:04-05:00 The Auditor's told us how to take the dread out of the audit. It says, "If we judge ourselves, we would not come under judgment" (1 Corinthians 11:31). Face it now so you don't have to face it then. It's no wonder He's so deeply interested in how we live our life. He's pretty heavily invested with His blood. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/you-can-t-make-it-go-away-6333 2011-04-21T09:58:54-05:00 If you're hoping to pay off sin with some good things you do, and you think that will work at your appointment with God, it's not going to work. The payment has already been made. The only question God will ask you is not, "What did you do with church?" But, "What did you do with My Son who died for you?" http://hutchcraft.com/blogs/ron-hutchcrafts-blogs/a-precarious-planet 2011-03-14T15:56:03-05:00 The high ground is on a hill with a cross on it. Millions of people have fled to that cross and found safety. And Jesus stands there today, lovingly extending His invitation: "Come to Me" (Matthew 11:28). A precarious planet. A fragile life. An appointment with God. A way to be ready. It's a good day to run to Him. http://hutchcraft.com/christmas-moments/christmas-2010/missing-at-christmas 2010-12-21T11:18:55-05:00 That's the question God is asking some of us as He looks at our lives - "Where's Jesus?" It's possible that, like our grandson that day, you have everything except Jesus.
