Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hope Within Your Reach - #5145
We hope that religion might offer us a ladder to climb out, but no ladder of human goodness can get anywhere near a perfect God. No, our only hope of meaning now and heaven later was a daring rescue plan from above. That plan has a name. His name is Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Find the Love of Your Life - #5167
You won't find Mr. or Miss Right. God will bring him or her to you. Right now, He wants you to focus on Him without the distraction of some guy or girl, so He can make you the man or woman He's created you to be.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Very Different Children of the Very Same Father - #5208
Isn't it time we made an effort to try to worship together, to learn from each other's unique perspective, to start praying together for a mighty move of God in our area, to reach out to a community that will sit up and take notice when we work together?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Battles That Really Matter - #4000
Someone we loved was in trouble. It was obvious that we had to drop everything to help put him back together. It was a long, grueling day, much of it spent with a specialist - but with a lot of physical pain for our son and emotional pain for us - his healing began.
There are times in our lives when our priorities need a shakeup - and we need to focus the best we've got on helping a loved one in trouble. It happened to Abram in our word for today in the Word of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Setting the Temperature - #4001
Now, in your family, or in your church, where you work, with your friends - you are either a thermostat or a thermometer. A thermometer simply reflects the temperature around them. A thermostat sets the temperature. Too often, we're thermometers, aren't we? If it's hot around us, we get hot. If people are cold, we're cold. If things are stressed, we're stressed. If things are dark, we're discouraged. If things are tough, we're defeated.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Worst Trade in the World - #4031
OK, now, good traders try to end up getting something better than what they gave away. It doesn't always happen. In our word for today from the Word of God, Esau made what was arguably the worst trade anyone has ever made. He traded a priceless treasure for a relatively worthless trinket. Tragically, someone reading today may be making a trade like that right now.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Right Word For Sex - #4082
Our word for today from the Word of God comes from the Inventor of sex, who is, of course, God Himself. Our world seems to have forgotten who invented sex - and that the Inventor knows best.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hugging the Wrong Thing - #4090
When little Cindy felt as if she couldn't have her Daddy's hugs, she resorted to something that just couldn't be as good as a Daddy. Sadly, many grownups make that same kind of mistake - married grownups. We feel like we're not getting the love we need from the person that is our husband or wife - so we start hugging something else.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Burned Grass, Beautiful Grass - #4093
It's one of those "strange ways of God." The fire that burns also produces beauty later on. If you're going through the fire right now, that's something you probably need to know right now. Because at the moment, you can only see the burning - you can't see the beauty. You will.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Great Splitter-Upper - #5234
Favoritism inevitably leads to conflict; it leads to bitterness, and even to trying to get even and a loss of respect for the leader who is showing that partiality.
