Uncluttered by politics, my church, or my religion, personal hobby-horses, culture issues, or lifestyle attacks. Just Jesus and His cross. A message so eternally important that it needs to be delivered, not in my churchy "Christianese" language, but in the non-religious language of the people that I'm there to reach. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-great-door-opener-6709 2012-09-27T10:41:00-05:00 Your greatest attention getter for Christ may be that you have a smile in a sea of sour. A Christian draws his joy, not from what's going on around him, but who Jesus is going on inside him. Nehemiah said, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/not-so-secret-service-6674 2012-08-13T09:54:37-05:00 If we selfishly, carelessly drift from Jesus, we pull others with us, risking their destruction. Forever. Off duty? As the face of Jesus to people whose eternity depends on believing in Him? God, help me to always - always - leave the light on for them. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/hold-high-the-power-6605 2012-05-04T11:24:56-05:00 Are you leading the people around you to make prayer their first resort, not their last resort? Are you modeling for them, asking big with great faith in a great God? Do you model that prayer is a power lifestyle for your family? Do you model to your family that prayer is your primary method of getting things done? Do you pray with people; not just for them, but with them? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/churches-christians-and-other-hang-ups-6149 2010-08-12T10:46:26-05:00 Don't let bad commercials make you miss the product - the only man who loved you enough to die for every sin you've ever committed. The only man who was willing and able to go through our hell so we could have heaven. The only man in history powerful enough to beat death by walking out of His grave under His own power. The hypocrites, the poor examples, the mistakes Christians make; none of those have a thing to do with where you'll spend eternity. It's all about Jesus...now and forever.
