Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Sheep Shoving - #5622
If you're trying to do any shepherding, take a lesson from the Great Shepherd and many other shepherds - gently lead them. Even though you sometimes feel like really pushing them. Leading just works so much better than pushing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Simplifying Your Journey - #3805
And what do smart sheep do? Try to figure out where they're going to find some good pasture...or try to figure out which road is safe and which one is dangerous...or move in the direction that looks best to them? Nope. They do what my wife did traveling in that unfamiliar territory out West. They quit trying to figure it out for themselves and follow the One who knows every mile of the road! In John 10:27, Jesus says, "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why Rocky Always Wins - #3810
If you know Christ, you have in Him the power to be a rock-person just like Paul. Remember, the rock smashes the wave; the wave doesn't smash the rock! In football, they'll talk about whether or not a player can take a hit. Well, Paul could--and so can you--if you are drawing on the same stabilizing source of endurance.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Insisting on Driving - #3819
Now you may be a very independent person. You've driven your life all these years, and you're not about to relinquish the wheel now. But all these years, the One who created you has been saying, "Isn't it about time you let Me drive?" And while you may have tried to keep God happy by being religious, you have stubbornly tightened your fingers around the wheel.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When Your Transformer is Out - #3853
It could be that the power's been out where you live - in your life, I mean. You're facing some issues that just can't seem to be resolved, some problems that seem to defy solution, some mountains that just aren't moving, some questions that just aren't getting answered, maybe an overload that is overwhelming you. Maybe in your family, maybe at church or at work, maybe in your personal life - there just doesn't seem to be anything powerful enough to meet the need, to handle the demands. Maybe the transformer's down.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Removing a Mountain, Making a Road - #5318
Maybe it's going to take a change of leadership in order for there to be a way, a miraculous recovery, or a seemingly impossible breakthrough. God does all of those, too. God's allowed you to run up against this mountain so you would run to the end of you. All our lives, we underestimate and under trust the God we have.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Marching off the Map - #3884
We need some certainty - we need some leadership. We want to hear from our national leaders, from our military leaders, from our financial leader, but none of them can give us the sense of peace and security we're needing in this "new world" that is off the map. What we're looking for can ultimately only be found in the leader--the One who created us. The issues of our day and the questions of our heart are just too big to be answered by anyone other than God Himself.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Light For Your Next Step - #3925
If you're just reading the Bible to fulfill your Christian duty or to accumulate religious information, well, you're missing the real power of what you've got in your hand. Those words in your Bible are God's light to show you how to navigate each new day.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Weather Channel's Executive Producer - #3977
Recently, I read these awe-inspiring verses from Job 37, beginning with verse 5. They reveal the ways that we can see and celebrate the power and the majesty of our God by just looking at the weather - and they're our word for today from the Word of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You Don't Have Enough to Finish - #3990
My problem with my laptop computer is that, in itself, it has limited power. Which means limited accomplishment. But when it's plugged into a regular power source, it has basically unlimited power. Which means unlimited possibilities.
Now, if you've been living for Jesus Christ very long, that power equation probably sounds familiar to you. Or it should. Your resources run out. But that doesn't mean you're done -- not if you plug into His. His resources never run out.
