Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Olympic Messengers - #8089
I got so excited when I read about this. This is how Jesus set up the plan for giving people a chance to go to heaven; people from a tribe telling other people from that tribe about Him and in the process, stepping up to a life that matters.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Starting Over - #8090
Now most of us would not go to those kind of extremes, but some of us do know the feeling of wishing we could start over, get that fresh start, move from a life that’s unfulfilling to a life that matters. Millions of us have discovered where new beginnings can be found.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Fool's Gold - #5642
It's so easy to buy the values of a world that measures worth by success, by how much of the glittery stuff you have - to spend major life-energy going after more house, more car, more wardrobe, more position, more prestige. It's gold - but it's fool's gold. Notice the words God uses to describe the pursuit of more: a trap, foolish desires, harmful desires, ruin and destruction, wandering from the faith, grief.

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 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 - What the Shepherds gave the Baby - #4420
What the shepherds gave Jesus must have meant far more to Him than any treasure the wise men brought. It's a gift that is within your power to give - but one that all too few of His followers ever offer Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Your Final Payment - #4429
According to the Bible, there is still one more bill to pay after the funeral - it's the payment for all those me-first life choices that the Bible calls "sin." In God's words, "Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). The payment for running our own lives is an eternal payment. But like that final payment for your funeral expenses, you can do something now to take care of that awful obligation once and for all.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Homeless No More - #4419
It's possible to be living in a mansion this Christmas, and yet to be homeless - in your heart. In our hearts, there is this homing instinct that keeps us looking for a love that will fill the hole in our heart, a relationship that will give us one safe and secure place in a lonely and disappointing world. But our lives are littered with the temporary "boxes" that we hoped would give our heart a home but never did.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Your Answer - #4312
There's someone who loves you very much, who has dramatically declared His love for you, and whose offer of a lifelong relationship requires an answer. He is the One who said in Revelation 3:20, our word for today from the Word of God, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in..." And while that invitation was initially addressed to some people who already belonged to Jesus, it's a powerful picture of His offer of His love to those who have never even begun a personal relationship with Him. Maybe you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Go When The Gate Is Open - #4314
That's what I learned real fast when I saw that the gate guarding the road didn't stay open forever. Tragically, it's something many people never realize about God's road to heaven - the gate isn't always going to be open. You have to go in when the gate is open. That's why God warns us in Isaiah 55:6, our word for today from the Word of God, to "seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near."
