Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Even Better Than Gold - #8252 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and the same day I was reading about the skyrocketing value of gold, I read in the Bible about something God says is even better than gold. You might be surprised what it is. It says, “For a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold—may be proved genuine” (1 Peter 1:6-7 ).

Taming the Final Frontier - #5842
Something very miraculous, something transforming happens when Jesus enters the darkness in our heart. The lights go on. The darkness isn't winning anymore, and He's waiting to make that miracle your miracle.

Downsizing For Success - #5775
God puts us in situations where, like Gideon, we're left saying, "If there's a victory here, it's going to have absolutely nothing to do with me." So if you find yourself out-manned, out-gunned, and under-resourced right now - if it seems like God has been cutting you back and putting limitations on you - realize this may very well be the prelude to an amazing victory!

Manageable Mandates - #5770
God's plan will not take you where His grace will not keep you. Maybe you can't see where the money would possibly come from to carry out what God is mandating, but God's Word teaches us that what God orders, God pays for!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Treasure in the Trash - #5695
The parable right before this indicates that the field is this world we live in and the man in the field is Jesus. And the buried treasure? That's you and me. It's very possible you've been such a buried treasure that you don't even know you're a treasure! But Jesus thinks so! I love one thought that George W. Bush expressed in his Inaugural Address. He said, "No insignificant person was ever born."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Foreclosed Lives - #9179 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
...that story was a bright light in this dark economic landscape. And it actually touched me on a deeper level. It brought back the unspeakably loving thing that Jesus Christ did for me and for so many I care about.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Spending Less This Christmas - #8168
...what happened that Christmas in Bethlehem; what happened on that dark Good Friday years later, that was the most expensive gift ever given. For one reason, God loves you and he can’t stand to lose you. The Bible says, “He did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us…” (Romans 8:32).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Safest Place For Your Money - #8156
Thankfully, our country has taken a lot of steps to safeguard as much as they can against a day like that. But as we look at retirement funds, savings accounts, tanking home values, my friend’s question still hangs out there, waiting for an answer. “Where should we put our money?”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You're Not Sure Where the Money Will Come From - #8144
Maybe a faucet your money usually comes from isn’t working all of a sudden—your job, your savings, the value of your home. But those are only faucets. What a child of God needs comes from the reservoir; from your Heavenly Father. The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). The Bible says, ”Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. He will be like a tree planted by the water…its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When Less is More - #5678
God prepares for a great victory by cutting things back. God prepares for a great harvest by cutting things back. In the strange and wonderful ways of God, less is often more. That might be an equation you need to hear right now, because it sure does feel as if God is cutting you back. You're feeling the pain, the loss, and the confusion of a child of God who is being pruned. But not necessarily because something is wrong with you; maybe because something is very right.
