Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You Don't Have Your Birth Certificate - #4454
There's a conscious, deliberate choice that begins your God-relationship - what our word for today calls "receiving" Jesus Christ, "believing" in Him. It's describing a moment when you consciously open up your heart for Jesus Christ to come in - when you tell Him you are putting your total trust in Him to remove the wall of sin between you and God and give you that relationship with Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Retreat, No Defeat - #4527
No matter how intense the battle, no matter how weary the warrior, no matter how overwhelming the odds - do not retreat! With the Word of God in your hand, with your brothers and sisters by your side, with the Lord your God fighting for you, it won't be you who retreats - your enemy is going down!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Meaningless Games - #4441
It really is true. There is no such thing as a meaningless anything when you do it for someone who's dying. Which in terms of God and eternity, many of the people all around us are doing. The Bible clearly says that anyone who "does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5:12) and that they are "without God and without hope in this world" (Ephesians 2:12). That includes anyone in your personal world who has not had their sins forgiven by faith in the Christ who died for them. Co-workers. Neighbors. Fellow students. Teammates. Family members.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Spiritual Snowmen - #4442
Sadly, what happens to snowmen seems to be happening to more and more of God's people. They're slowly going soft, melted by the heat of a culture that applies heavy pressure to compromise both Christian convictions and Christian lifestyles. And some of us are becoming so melted that you can hardly tell the difference between us and the lost people around us.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The High Price of a Little Ice - #4438
Now, it doesn't take much ice on the wings to cause an airplane to start losing altitude. It doesn't take much ice in your soul to cause you to start losing altitude - to start going down spiritually.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Everybody's Got a Story - #4555
Don't say things that will tear a person down, only things that will build that person up. Why? Because you're focusing on their needs, not just their deeds. You may hate their deeds, but God's asking you to develop His compassion to respond to the needs that drive their deeds. Whether that person is your child, your spouse, your parent, your friend, your coworker, someone at church.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Gone So Long, But Home At Last - #4306
And deep down inside the soul of each of us is a longing for home that is hard to explain and even harder to satisfy. There's this spiritual homesickness - you can call it restlessness or incompleteness or just the absence of inner peace. Some who feel like they've never had a home think that they would have peace if they could find a home. But then those who've had a fair amount of love and acceptance are strangely homesick in their soul, too.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Open Window - #4313
That's one reason God gives us some very practical advice to avoid getting stuff you don't really want in your life. It's brief, it's to the point, and it's our word for today from the Word of God. Ephesians 4:27 says, "Do not give the devil a foothold." Or we might say, don't leave any window open that the devil could use to get in.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Mission Accomplished - #4317
Some day you'll be heading home. Your time on earth will be over at a time set by your Commander-in-Chief, Jesus Christ. Will He be flying that banner for you when you reach home? Will He say, "Mission accomplished?" In many ways, that is the ultimate measure of whether your life was a success or not.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Unappreciated Gifts - #4318
It hurts to make something special for someone you love - and then to give it and have it go unnoticed and unappreciated. God knows that feeling. There's not a day that goes by that He doesn't give us special gifts from His hand. As James 1:17 says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father."
