Bloom where you're planted. Be all you can be right where you are. Actually that's the best way to get safely to the destination that you want so much. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/black-friday-battles-6750 2012-11-26T12:09:44-05:00 I love this high tribute to David, the "man after God's own heart." It says, "He fights the Lord's battles" (1 Samuel 25:28). After all, those are the only ones worth fighting. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%204:18&version=NIV 2009-09-27T19:29:41-05:00 We're to focus our thoughts and attention not on the physical things of this world, but on spiritual goals. It's what is unseen that God is most concerned about--not our wealth or possessions. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Not-a-Destination-4081 2008-08-01T15:30:35-05:00 f you belong to Jesus Christ, you could look around your world right now and make that same observation. "This is a nice place - but this is not a destination!" See, once you've gotten a glimpse of eternity through your relationship with Christ, earth and earth-stuff should never look the same - never mean the same. This is not where we end up. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Your-Visa-And-Your-Passport-3932 2008-07-28T16:34:18-05:00 It makes no sense to build yourself this big empire in a place where you've only got a temporary visa. Sadly, many of God's people are making that very mistake - and neglecting to invest seriously in the place that's really home - where their spiritual passport is from. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Trouble-With-Sandcastles-8054 2008-07-24T15:41:56-05:00 I guess you could define sandcastle this way—something you put a lot of effort into that doesn’t last—like a relationship maybe, a career, a marriage, a goal that meant a lot to you. Maybe you’ve watched the tide take out something that you put a lot into. You know that makes us keenly aware of our need for something—well actually, Someone that you can’t lose.
