Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Battle over "The Precious" - #4448
The ring in Lord of the Rings is fantasy. The battle over "The Precious" is not. Because we all have something or someone in our life that is, for us, "The Precious." We can't let go of it. And like the ring in Tolkien's stories, the longer and more tightly we hold onto it, the more it slowly destroys us.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Lone Rangers - #4430
Actually, there were never meant to be any Lone Rangers. Let's go all the way back to the original Lone Ranger - Adam, the first man God ever created. As the Creation saga unfolds in Genesis 1, the Bible uses a phrase repeatedly to describe how God felt about what He had been created each day - "And God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:31 says, "God saw all that He had made, and it was very good."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Directed by the Dispatcher - #4428
Now, you don't have to be in law enforcement to have a life directed by the dispatcher. In fact, that's how you're supposed to live every day if you belong to Jesus Christ; listening to the inner voice from headquarters and doing immediately what the Heavenly Dispatcher tells you to do.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Sunsets in the Puddles - #4304
Few, if any of us, have endured something so inhuman, so unjust, or so brutal as those who suffered through the Holocaust in Hitler's death camps. But they can teach us something -- that while you often cannot choose your circumstances, you can choose your attitude in the midst of those circumstances. Your environment, however harsh and hurting, does not have to be decisive in the kind of person you are and the kind of response you choose.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Most Agonizing Race Of All - #4309
Champions hit the wall and they keep on running to the finish line - no matter how much they want to give it up. Finishing your race takes everything you've got and more. Even if you're the Son of God. Especially if you're the Son of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - You've Got Mail - #4332
Actually, you've got mail every day - mail from Almighty God Himself! God's messages are, of course, communicated in His Book, the Bible. You may say, "Yeah, but that's not new information." Well, on the one hand, God's messages in the Bible are timeless information - always there, as true today as they were the day He authored them. But, on the other hand, God's messages are always breaking news, too, because your situation is different today.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Ultimate Mission Impossible - #4333
Now can you hear that Mission Impossible theme playing in the background? Jonah went all out trying to get away from the Lord -- he bought a ticket to what is Spain today, which basically was the farthest place on earth he could run to in his day. But it wasn't far enough to escape God. It never is.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When The Goal Is Beyond Your Reach - #4348
Sometimes you have to do things you've never done to reach what you've never had before. If you're a baby ... or if you're a child of God. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always have what you've always had. And that's all. And much of what you need in your life, and much of what you're restless for, and much of what God wants to give you is beyond your reach. As long as you stay in your comfort zone, it always will be.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Banging The Pan - #4352
When someone needs to wake up, you do whatever it takes to get the job done. Actually, God does whatever it takes to get the job done. Even a "banging pan."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Around, But Not With - #4357
There's something I've learned over the years from my relationship with Karen. It's easy to be around someone but not with him or her - like a couple watching a movie or TV. When you're just around someone, there's no real dialog, no real exchange, no real transaction, no real difference. I've done that with my Lord far too many times. Maybe you have, too.
