Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Christmas Far From Home - #4940
Today, that stirring you feel in your heart, is the Man who died for you, drawing you to Himself. You can't come to Jesus when you feel like it. You come when God's drawing you or you don't come. And this season when we celebrate His coming to earth for us, He's working in your heart to open your life to Him. This Christmas season can be the celebration, not only of Jesus' coming to earth, but of Him coming into your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Turn Hearts
We should present Jesus in such a way that it makes a person feel loved, not condemned; bigger, not smaller. That's how Jesus treated people. And it's Jesus you represent. If it's important to do those things when votes are at stake, how much more important is it do it when lives are at stake?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Fight that isn't Worth it - #4989
As Jesus was preparing His disciples for His impending death, they were all caught up in a dispute over who was going to be the biggest "big shot" among them. They were so consumed by their ego and turf issues that they totally missed what was about to happen to their Master. But that's what happens to us so often. We get derailed by some relatively small issue (though, at the time, it seems like the biggest issue in the world to us), and we totally miss the huge things that really matter. And we can't, or we won't, get back on the main track.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Only a Wall - #4991
When the door opened that day in the prison we were in, we were so anxious to leave behind that darkness and that loneliness and to finally step out to where we could breathe free and enjoy the beauty just beyond the wall. That's exactly what God wants you to experience today. He wants the wall between you and Him to come down, and it can - upon your invitation.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Strongest Men in the World - #4994
hey talk about being a gentleman, a gentle-man! Like the ultimate man, Jesus Christ. For example, when an entire crowd of men was ready to stone a guilty woman, Jesus alone treated her with compassion and gentleness. Another woman was cut down by Jesus' friends for a choice she made about her most expensive possession. Again, Jesus protected her honor. So the measure of your manhood is how safe the women around you feel, how listened to they feel, how protected they feel - physically and emotionally, how respected they feel by you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When it's More Than You Can Carry - #4998
What will it take for the weight on you to be lifted? You'll have to reverse what you learned from "The Little Engine That Could" and say those liberating words, "I think I can't." That moment of surrender makes you desperate for what God and God alone can do. And desperation is the condition with which God can do the most.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Drinking Dirt - #5008
Guard your heart as the spiritual reservoir from which you drink all day long. If it's a "bad one," you've got to turn it off if you're serious about really being His man or woman. If you don't want to let dirt into the Holy Spirit's house, filter what you let come in. You wouldn't knowingly let your mouth drink dirt. Well, then, don't let your soul do it!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You've Been Hurt By Friendly Fire - #5035
It happens in God's army; people who are deeply wounded, shot by their own. Hurt, betrayed, disappointed by church folks, by people who claim to be Christians. You may be one of those. You know the disillusionment that can cause, the cynicism about anything Christian, the desire to distance yourself from Christian things like you'd keep away from a dog that had bitten you. If you've been spiritually wounded by friendly fire, you're on my heart today. More importantly, you're on God's heart; whether He's on your heart or not.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Never Playing Defense - #5043
Maybe you sometimes find yourself under pressure and attack, and you're treated badly. Everything in your human nature says, "Strike back. Give them their own medicine." But Jesus calls us to follow Him in His steps, which means no retaliation. Don't strike back; not because you are a weak wimp, but because you are strong in Christ. You don't have to retaliate.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Basketful of Earth - #5053
We are all guilty of the sin of accumulating. We build that earth kingdom, earth reserves, earth security; get as much earth stuff as we can. One day, Jesus may come back and say, "What are you doing with all of that tied up? I had a world to reach."
