There's a destiny for your life; something so much bigger than just the scattered pieces of the puzzle of your life. God has the top of the box that shows you how to put the pieces together. And Jesus is the only way you can have the God of heaven be your God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/no-retreat-no-defeat-6098 2010-05-26T12:12:20-05:00 No matter how intense the battle, no matter how weary the warrior, no matter how overwhelming the odds - do not retreat! With the Word of God in your hand, with your brothers and sisters by your side, with the Lord your God fighting for you, it won't be you who retreats - your enemy is going down! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/brighter-skies-ahead-6089 2010-05-17T16:23:00-05:00 Paul says, "we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." Temporary. This too shall pass. And the day on the other side of this night is going to be awesome! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/how-good-people-miss-heaven-6058 2010-03-31T10:59:59-05:00 When your heart has beaten for the last time, there's only one thing that God will be looking for at the gates of eternity: Jesus, His Son, with His arm around you saying, "This one's with Me." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/time-is-slipping-away-6050 2010-03-22T11:11:16-05:00 The choice is simple. Either we put our trust in Jesus and His death for our sins, or we pay that death penalty ourselves - forever. Jesus came to give us heaven. Once you come to His cross and put your total trust in what He did there for you, death is no longer the end, it's just the beginning! All death can do, then, is take you to heaven if you belong to Jesus Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-open-door-at-the-manger-5989 2009-12-28T16:42:59-05:00 The people who miss Jesus and miss heaven are the people who think they've got it all together, who are quite religious and quite good and not really in need of the Savior who died on the cross for their sins. But just like He did for those shepherds, whether you were born in church or never been in church in your life, Jesus is throwing open the door to His family and to His heaven and saying, "Come on in. I died and I rose again so you and I can be together forever." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/everything-but-a-captain-5971 2009-11-30T09:25:35-05:00 All these years our life has been a flight that doesn't go anywhere because we're missing our Captain - the God we were made by; the God we were made for. We've been trying to be our own captain, running a life that our Creator was supposed to run. So we're alienated from the only One who knows why we're here, the only One who can make it all make sense. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-difference-is-inches-5920 2009-09-18T09:25:19-05:00 You know Jesus died to pay for your sins, that He rose from the dead, that a person needs to turn from their sin and put all their trust in Jesus to be spiritually rescued. You know it, but maybe you've never done it. Every day you wait, your heart gets a little harder and your last day on earth gets a little closer. Please, if you don't know you've consciously given yourself to Jesus, do that today while the Holy Spirit of God is drawing you to do it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/your-visa-and-your-passport-5916 2009-09-14T10:50:19-05:00 Why are we so bound up in building this kingdom for ourselves in a place where we're just visiting? We are so entangled with earth-stuff that we neglect the things that will matter forever. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/fool-for-real-8240 2009-09-11T14:37:03-05:00 April Fool’s Day has become frustrating for me. I have this mischievous side that loves to leave a trail of “gotcha’s” for people. Life is so busy, I just don’t have time for it anymore. It’s good news for my friends and family. I’m actually not sure any of us have the right to even call someone a fool. Of course, if Jesus does it, that person really is a fool…and He has.
