Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - A 'No Regrets' Life - #8290 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
After many amazing movie successes, director Steven Spielberg decided to use his talents to try and capture an unforgettable story from the horror of the Holocaust; he called it “Schindler’s List.” It’s the story of industrialist Otto Schindler who used his business and his fortune to save the lives of hundreds of Jews who otherwise would have been victims of Hitler’s “final solution.” The movie ends with hundreds of those he saved gathering to thank him. But as they pay tribute to him, he begins a heartbreaking calculation. He looked at his car and said, “Look at this car. I could have sold it–ten more Jews. Look at this jewelry–five more Jews. This pin–one, maybe two more Jews.” He melts into tears, sobbing, “I could have done more. I could have done more.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - What the Hard Times Reveal - #8286 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I was speaking recently for some business leaders in Manhattan–the epicenter of America’s devastating financial quake. One highly successful Christian brother told me the surprising truth that the hard times have revealed. He said, “A few months ago, if you’d asked any of us what we were depending on, we would have said we were totally depending on God. Until we lost a lot of the things we were really depending on.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Only Way to Get Well - #8282 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
There’s a highly successful doctor in New York City who gives a month every year to helping out in some impoverished corners of the world. Recently, he went to Costa Rica. He was operating on a six-year-old boy who ended up losing blood fast. His only hope was donated blood and he had a rare type that only 2% of the human race has. Well the doctor excused himself for a few minutes and he returned with the blood that made the difference. He just happened to be one of those 2% with the boy’s blood type.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Your Personal Expiration Date - #8281 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
We just got home from an extended ministry trip, and I checked the date on the milk in the fridge. Oh, the expiration date was a long time ago, and I really hate to chew my milk. The expiration date on some cans in our pantry have probably saved us from some unpleasant dining experiences. Wouldn’t it be something if people came with expiration dates? Actually, we do.

The Difference is Inches - #5920
You know Jesus died to pay for your sins, that He rose from the dead, that a person needs to turn from their sin and put all their trust in Jesus to be spiritually rescued. You know it, but maybe you've never done it. Every day you wait, your heart gets a little harder and your last day on earth gets a little closer. Please, if you don't know you've consciously given yourself to Jesus, do that today while the Holy Spirit of God is drawing you to do it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Big Time Fishing - #8278 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
When it came time for our family vacations when I was a kid, one person had the deciding vote for where we’d go–my Dad. He did the work; he picked the vacation, which meant we would go fishing. I thought it was boring—my Dad thought it was great. Listen, he would have gotten along great with a guy named Simon Peter. Yes, he was one of Jesus’ disciples, but he never stopped fishing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - When Life's a Broken Vending Machine - #8275 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m working in my hotel room. I want a soft drink to keep me going. I go down the hall to the vending machine and put in the four quarters—nothing happens. The coin return doesn’t work. I have a choice: forget that vending machine or just keep putting more money into it until I get what I’m after. This is not a hard choice. ... I’m Ron Hutchcraft. And ironically, life offers us many “vending machine” choices. I invest myself in something I think will meet my need: a relationship, an accomplishment, a career, even religion or spirituality.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Invisible Deadline - #8274 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
My friend has been in Special Ops in the military, and he told me what he learned from the training that one branch of the British Special Forces receives. These recruits were assigned a mission to go solo through difficult terrain and to make it to a specified destination before time ran out. One catch: they didn’t tell them when time ran out.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Emptying Your Trash Basket - #8273 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
There’s plenty of junk e-mail–spam, they call it. But sometimes you get a gem in some of the creative stuff that friends forward to you. I got a child’s version of the Lord’s Prayer that both amused and even enlightened me; especially when this little boy got to the part where many Christians pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Except this boy heard it this way: “Forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Your Secret Weapon - #8269 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Steve was one of the world’s great pool players. He was a winner on the outside. Inside, he knew something big was missing. It turned out it was Jesus. When he opened his life to the God who made Him, he realized that a lot of the junk that went with his life on the pool circuit didn’t go with following Jesus. He laid it all down. He went for years of Christian education. And as He told me, to his surprise, God then told him to pick up that pool cue again and use it to point people to Jesus…which he’s been doing big time. And folks who love the game he loves are getting introduced to the Savior he loves.
