It may take some courage, some discipline, some hard choices, but Jesus Christ must once again be crowned the King of your schedule. And your time with Him? The base non-negotiable of your personal schedule. He's saying, "I want My time with you." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/bankruptcy-makes-you-rich-6710 2012-09-28T09:36:55-05:00 Our safe, predictable, well resourced Christianity insulates us from really living by faith. And then God allows the bottom to drop out, just so He can hold you up. And you find out what He can do when there's none of you and it's all God. And then you can learn that He's enough. He fills up your empty account and in a paradox that only God could reveal to us. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/where-do-i-start-cleaning-6696 2012-09-10T10:23:25-05:00 The history of revival throughout the church tells us that whenever God's people start hating the sin in their own lives, tens of thousands of people start finding Christ. So, where do I start cleaning with the mess inside my own heart? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-one-more-thing-syndrome-6695 2012-09-07T11:01:13-05:00 "Just say no." That's not just good for drugs. It's good for us responsibility addicts too. I'm one. I know. The next time you're tempted to over-commit yourself, think of that trunk that's jam packed with all that it should hold. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/template-for-awwy-transcripts 2012-09-04T10:44:43-05:00 Don't wait any more. Time's going to run out - to fix that broken relationship; to get involved in the work of God's Kingdom. To deal with that hidden sin, and most of all, to live so there will be some people in heaven with you. The Bible talks about this urgency when it says, "Redeem the time," "buy up the time" because the days are evil. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/freeing-the-slaves-6665 2012-08-06T14:29:47-05:00 You know, in our world today we are like all accelerator and no brakes. We're living lives without Sabbaths. They're supposed to be part of the created order of God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/braving-the-cold-building-a-fire-6652 2012-07-10T16:16:11-05:00 Let's actually ask God to break our heart with the things that break His. Take some risks to reach your neighbor, to give, to reach out to other people, to see your time, your money, your influence, your building, and your talent as a resource to take Christ's warmth into a cold, cold world. We've got to get out there and build a fire. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/picking-up-momentum-as-you-near-the-bottom-6644 2012-07-05T15:35:43-05:00 One lifetime, no matter how long it is, is not enough to serve Christ. We only get one; use every day to the max. Look for a mountain; look for giants to fight! And let your definition of retire change. Yeah, you should retire; you should re-tire and get a new set of tires on and drive faster and farther than ever before. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/out-of-service-6601 2012-04-30T09:50:25-05:00 Maybe 70 or 80 years is all we've got to make our mark for eternity. Please! There's too much to do; there's too few to do it. We need the seasoned leaders. Yeah, they're tired, but you've got experience. We need you. Don't hang out an "Out of Service" sign. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/running-on-empty-6578 2012-03-28T14:31:37-05:00 Could it be you've gotten so caught up in running for Jesus that you're running on empty? Stop for a fill-up every morning. You'll enjoy the drive a lot more. Oh, and the people who ride with you; they'll enjoy you a lot more.
