Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Only Impression that Matters - #4768
There's something very wrong if you are using Jesus to make a name for yourself or to impress other people with you. You're actually hijacking His glory. And there's something wrong if you're not telling people about Jesus because of something about you. It's not who's doing the telling that's the issue, it's who you're telling about - the One who offers the greatest love in the world.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Respecting the Slope - #4782
Remember, it isn't the mountain that kills those climbers, it's their own risk-taking carelessness and their arrogance. It won't be that temptation that causes you to fall, it will be your moral carelessness - the kind that flirts with falling by staying on a slope that you should never even go near. The deadly slope of sin and temptation - respect it. It has destroyed stronger people than you! Come down before you fall.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Channel Choice - #4813
You may not be able to help the fact that a sexual input came on your screen, but you totally decide whether or not it stays on your screen. You can't afford to dwell on anything that feeds your anger either, or your depression, or your complaining, something that feeds your worry, or your materialism, your greed, or your spending problem, or that feeds that sinful habit. Maybe that's why you've continued to struggle and maybe you've lost so much in that part of your life because you keep feeding it. You keep stopping to watch and listen to a channel that feeds the sinful side of you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Only Applause that Matters - #4819
It's called "Please Disease" - spending so much of your life trying to please others. But there's never enough applause. There's never enough approval. And somewhere in all the pleasing, you lose yourself and you lose the pleasure of the only One who can satisfy your heart - your Lord Jesus who died so you could live for Him!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stuffed With Junk - #4118
You've got to wonder what God sees when He looks down on the contents of our life. The "top" is always off as far as His view of us is concerned. He sees directly into our heart, our motives, our every thought. And all too often, our life and our heart are cluttered with "stuff" ... things we've filled our life with that are simply unnecessary to Him, useless to Him - actually limiting our usefulness to Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Today's Battles, Yesterday's Weapons - #4133
Robert E. Lee, the great general that he was, made the fatal mistake of fighting today's battles with what used to work. A lot of us are still making that fatal mistake - when it comes to fighting the battle for which Jesus gave His life - turning people from the death penalty of their sin to the eternal life that only Jesus can give them. When we lose that battle, a soul is lost - forever.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Blue Ribbon Performance - #4136
What the church did was so cool - they gave every child a blue ribbon. They rewarded their effort, not their performance. That's how their Boss does rewards - not their pastor - their Master, Jesus. And if you've been feeling that you don't measure up, that you're a loser compared to some winners you know, you need to look at yourself through your Lord's eyes for a while and see what He sees when He looks at you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Cross in the Rubble - #4139
The picture is etched forever in my mind and, no doubt, in the minds of many who worked what they called "The Pile" at Ground Zero - the cross towering over a mountain of rubble. You know, that may be a picture of where you're going to find hope in the "rubble" you're in right now.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Only An Interruption - #4145
Life's partings are tough, especially when someone we love slips into eternity. Death just rips us up inside, and the grief is sometimes almost unbearable. But because of Jesus, it's almost unbearable. Why? Because if we belong to Jesus, and our loved one did, then this is not the termination of our relationship. It is - because of Christ - only an interruption.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Set of Your Sail - #4862
The force of the gale on Daniel was powerful. He didn't cave in because he had firmly set his sail in God's direction. And no one - not even the most powerful person in the world - could blow him off course. In order for you to be that kind of moral champion, you're going to need more than just a list of rules that your religion gave you. You'll need deep-down inside convictions, based not so much on a list of what's wrong, but on the ability to know what makes something wrong for a child of God.
