Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Home They Can't Foreclose - #8098
In times like these it’s really good to clarify the ultimate meaning of the word home. Ultimately it’s not the house you live in. That can be taken away. Home is something no one can foreclose on.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Glimpses of Daddy - #4468
Your daily God-sightings become the core of your praises to Him, and they build your confidence and they remind your heart that, no matter how things look, your Father is all over your life. Your Father is in control.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Nothing but the Best - #4477
How can I hold onto my best or give it to someone else when God gave His Son for me? It's been said many times, but it says it all: "If He's not Lord of all, He's not Lord at all."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Running Out of Ammo - #4480
For those of us fighting on the front lines, it's our responsibility to make every bullet count, to stay on mission, to always take the high road, and to put our faith in Jehovah Jireh, not in contributors. And for every one of us, we need to hear the cries from the front lines, "We're winning, but we're running out of ammunition!" Let's throw everything we can into this battle for which Jesus gave everything He had!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Wrong Builder - #4543
The Lord isn't saying, "Work more." He's saying, "Trust more." Maybe you've been acting as if you're the builder. The reality is that the Lord uses your efforts, but success doesn't depend on your efforts. Jesus said you're just a branch. The results come through you, not from you. He's the vine. He produces the results, not all of your frantic efforts.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Crashing to an Upgrade - #4432
It is one of God's strange and wonderful ways. He allows something to be taken away so He can ultimately replace it with something so much better! The time you really need to focus on that is the time in between, when you're without what you've lost and not yet experiencing God's upgrade. Our missionary pilot friend didn't get his better plane the day after his first plane crashed. There were months of faith-stretching, heavy duty praying, and soul-searching. But in His always perfect time, God did what our friend believed He would do - replace the loss with something better.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Threshold of the Treasure - #4358
Tragically, so many of God's children have made those same kinds of decisions. You may be on the edge of one right now. God is ready to include you in some wonderful blessing He wants to bring into your life, but whether or not you get what He wants to give you depends on a decision you make. You may be on the threshold of treasure He wants to give you - it may be an emotional treasure, a financial blessing, the answer to a long-prayed prayer, a special relationship, a new beginning, maybe a greater impact in your ministry, or a breakthrough in some impossible situation. But, like that man who missed his share of Ronald McDonald's fortune, it may all come down to your making the right decision.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Auditor's Review - #4601
Maybe no one even knows the good things you've done, but the auditor Who gives eternal rewards is noticing it all. We can't see our organization's human auditor most of the time, but we still make a thousand little daily decisions in light of his upcoming review. Should you and I do any less for the auditor whose audit matters forever?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Frozen Assets - #4212
That's the problem Jesus has with many of us. He's entrusted some of His assets to us - everything we have is from Him. He expects that we'll be investing His assets in the interests of His kingdom. Unfortunately, His assets are frozen - and we froze them. Some of us have most of Christ's resources all tied up in our own kingdom. It's that kind of thing that caused God to ask in Malachi 3:8, "Will a man rob God?" Well, unfortunately, yes.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Making Life an Adventure - #4266
At the age of four, our grandson is starting to figure out what really makes life an adventure - it's called "giving living." Living your life, not as a taker, but as a giver ... not to make a name or make a fortune, but to make a difference. That's one reason we experience so much joy at Christmastime. There's something that feels really good about making others happy and sacrificing to give. Guess what? That's how we're supposed to live all year long!
