2013-05-24T09:40:44-05:00 GCI info@gospel.com /feeds/topics/special/ http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-sign-on-your-life-6880 2013-05-24T09:40:44-05:00 There's a sign on your life. It doesn't say like it did on the house that I bought: "Sold." The sign on your life and mine says: Bought. You are a purchased person. You belong to the person who paid for you. Are you living that way? Are you living for the One who gave His life so you could have hope, so you could have a life, so your life could have meaning, so you could have an eternity in heaven, who paid with His life for yours? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/temple-treasure-6784 2013-01-10T13:07:10-05:00 In a sense, what you do with that body - everything you do with it - God is a part of. He lives in that temple. Everything you do to that body, you do to God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/dont-open-your-gift-too-soon-6642 2012-06-26T09:38:50-05:00 Whatever you've done until now, commit yourself to protect and restore the specialness of sex. And don't ruin it by opening it too soon. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/delegated-life-saving-6628 2012-06-06T14:56:29-05:00 Would you begin right now to pray by name for that person you care about? Pray specifically for an opening where you can extend some spiritual CPR on the spot. Say, "Lord, I know it is not up to some evangelist. It's not up to the church. It's not up to getting a Christian book in their hands. It's up to me in my body, my flesh, my life, to share what Christ has done." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/dont-ever-get-used-to-the-smell-6606 2012-05-15T10:01:45-05:00 Sin stinks! It's the rotting odor of death, no matter how glamorously it is perfumed. So, don't get used to the smell. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/easter-up-close-and-personal-6583 2012-04-04T11:34:24-05:00 I'm so glad the arms of Jesus are still open wide this Easter, to send those who know Him to "go and tell" those who don't, and to welcome one who's been searching for a lifetime to "come and see" His love and His power for themselves. Yeah, Jesus walked out of His grave that first Easter, and He's ready to walk into your life this Easter. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/frequent-flyer-benefits-6582 2012-04-03T10:00:22-05:00 The greatest benefits go to those who stay with Jesus, no matter what. He has some wonderful blessings, some unspeakable joy, and some tremendous rewards for you if you'll stay faithful for a few more miles. In the words of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/beautiful-when-it-s-fresh-6492 2011-11-29T12:04:40-05:00 Don't let anything, including your own runaway emotions or passions, cause you to sacrifice the best of sex and the best of love. Remember, it's like snow. It's beautiful when it's fresh. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-witness-protection-program-6361 2011-05-31T10:40:05-05:00 The more you're with lost people and the more you're in lost places, the more tightly you need to hold on to Jesus. Stay within the rules. Never flirt with sin so you can continue to be His faithful witness. Flirting with sin is a trap. God's Witness Protection Program says, "Go witness, but always stay safely inside of God's rules." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/don-t-forget-to-check-your-box-6273 2011-01-26T10:26:08-05:00 Your first responsibility of the day is to stop and see what's come from God for you for that day. There will always be what you need if you stop to pick it up before you rush into your day.
