This is a helpful message to anyone who has been disappointed in a creative project or ministry. In 25 pages, he shows you a new (and biblical) way of perceiving your life, failures and successes. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/avoid-what-wants-to-bite-you-6558 2012-03-01T12:20:44-05:00 The pull of temptation may be so strong on you because you haven't burned your bridges to it. You want to beat it? Then you have to avoid the places where it is, the people who draw you into it, the props that get you into it. You can't flirt with sin; it's a vicious dog! Pedal fast! The Bible says, "Flee from it." Take a route that's nowhere near the opportunity to do that sin. http://hutchcraft.com/blogs/ron-hutchcrafts-blogs/the-tebow-in-all-of-us 2012-01-11T09:58:49-05:00 Tim Tebow understands the responsibility of divine positioning. We work where we work, live where we live, go to school where we go to school, recreate where we recreate for a life-saving purpose - to "shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life" (Philippians 2:15-16). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/black-friday-bargain-fever-6490 2011-11-28T11:16:10-05:00 If you start to pray that three-open prayer, I guarantee that God will answer it. You don't have to say, "Lord, if it is Your will." It is His will. "Lord, open a door." "Lord, open their heart." "Lord, open my mouth." When you ask God for open doors, then open your eyes to look for them. They'll be there, all over the place, because God really wants you to tell the people you know about His Son. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/life-s-most-expensive-if-only-s-6313 2011-03-30T16:37:22-05:00 Each day is filled with opportunities to listen, to hug, to debrief, to teach, and they'll never come again. It's true in marriage, too. Days without being close become weeks, and months, and years. And one day you wish you could have those days back. They're gone forever. The Bible says, "Make the most of every opportunity." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-3-d-savior-6294 2011-03-11T16:08:02-05:00 There are three dimensions of knowing Jesus. The problem might be that one dimension is out of focus for you, or maybe not even in the picture. So why not go for it all? Work for Him, be with Him, worship Him. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/capturing-days-6267 2011-01-18T09:37:18-05:00 I know one of the greatest burdens of my life is the days we lost. One of the greatest challenges of my life: how do you make the most of the days ahead? It means reordering some priorities; it means leaving time in what tends to be a wall-to-wall schedule, and asking God each morning for the opportunities, the determination, the timing to mark your children for Christ that day. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/catching-the-golden-moment-6263 2011-01-13T11:17:15-05:00 Our mission is to wake up in the morning and begin looking for the window that that day may hold. And it might be a surprise! When spiritual opportunity opens up, respond even if it means you have to drop your plans or change your plans. 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. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-greatest-opportunities-of-your-life-6230 2010-11-30T09:37:51-05:00 It's time to do whatever it takes to bring in the people that Jesus died to rescue because Jesus keeps doing things to get them ready for Him. He's trusting you to go after the harvest, not sleep through it. The opportunities to help people be in heaven with you are the greatest opportunities of your life. It's time to drop everything and run to the harvest.
