That principle applies to sons and fathers to some extent, and certainly to husbands. A woman is a powerful force in changing a man if she makes him feel safe. A man often isn't going to risk changing unless he feels like there's a woman who will love him whether he changes or not. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-man-with-what-s-next-6516 2012-01-04T10:50:02-05:00 What you decide to do with Jesus even this very day could be eternally decisive. I urge you, if you're not sure you've begun your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, make this the day you get that done and to say, "Jesus, I'm Yours." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/how-to-prove-you-re-a-man-6324 2011-04-07T13:23:53-05:00 If you're a woman, encourage self-control in the men you know. And if you're a man, understand one of the most important muscles you have to develop - the spiritual muscles that give you control over your temper, your passions, your mouth, your impatience. Self-control - that's how you prove you're a man. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/no-amount-of-watering-6319 2011-03-31T10:59:11-05:00 We're drowning. We can't save ourselves. Our only hope is grabbing the Rescuer, Jesus, holding onto Him like He's our only hope. Grabbing Him is the difference between eternal life and eternal death. http://ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3016 2010-11-09T21:30:45-05:00 Timothy and Titus faced all of these tough issues as young church leaders. But Paul encouraged them to put aside timidity and insecurity, and to find strength in Christ. As Pete Sommer guides you into study of these letters, you'll also find the support you need to follow through in obedience to God's Word. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/dying-of-stubbornness-6106 2010-06-07T11:32:15-05:00 We humans are pretty proud folks, right? Sometimes even when our pride could cost us our life! Jesus understands that all too well. He's been trying to rescue people from the clutches of their sin for a long time, only to find many people trying to resist Him at the expense of their own eternity. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/darkness-behind-you-sunlight-ahead-5978 2009-12-09T10:09:22-05:00 Paul says, Jesus "gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness" (Titus 2:13). How can we drift back into the things He died to get us out of? I can't think of a greater insult to the Man who died for you. Because of Jesus, you were able to drive out of the storm, out of the darkness, out of eternal danger. Don't go back there. Everything you were made for, everything you need is on the Jesus-road ahead of you. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Thirty-Seconds-After-You-re-Gone-4780 2008-08-20T15:06:44-05:00 There is no greater peace than going to sleep at night knowing beyond any shadow of a doubt what will happen when you have taken your last breath - that you're going to be seeing heaven and you'll be seeing Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Dying-of-Stubbornness-4970 2008-08-12T09:58:42-05:00 We humans are pretty proud folks, aren't we? Sometimes even when our pride could cost us our life! Jesus understands that all too well. He's been trying to rescue people from the clutches of their own sin for a long time, only to find many people trying to resist Him at the expense of their eternity. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/-I-Love-You-At-The-Finish-Line-4058 2008-08-01T16:00:36-05:00 Now, Paul is describing here two generations of loving wives, with the veterans teaching the rookies about that kind of love. Women whose husbands know they are really loved, end up reaping what the Proverbs 31 woman did.
