Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Waves You're Making - #4371
If you've ever spent much time by a lake, it's something you've experienced for yourself. Long after the boat has passed, the waves it created are still making an impact. Our lives are like that. Long after we've passed on, the waves our choices have made are still impacting many other lives. In our "now is all that matters" culture, it's easy to forget how much our choices matter and how long their effects last. It's about so much more than this moment.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A String of Greens - #4625
Circumstances can confirm what you felt on the inside. Maybe other people could be used. These things will point the same direction as the internal greens do. When God gives a red, don't make the mistake I've made sometimes and keep driving. You stop on the red. But as long as God has given you green lights, don't let fear, don't let uncertainty make you stop.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Master's Degree - #4633
You've got to ask yourself, did you do it in a way that would give you Jesus' approval too? Or did it cost you Jesus' approval? Have you told the truth on your way to that goal? Have you consistently had your time with Him or have you sacrificed that for your goal? Have you been caring for people or running over people to get there? Have you taken time to minister to people in need or are you just too busy for that? Have you stayed pure?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Healthy Appetite - #4205
Watching my granddaughter's demand for mama's milk has actually helped me understand even more how God uses that example in showing us how to grow in Him. I feel like He's talking about my little darlin' when He says in 1 Peter 2:2, our word for today from the Word of God, "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Your Attitude and Your Altitude - #4238
Every pilot knows if your attitude is incorrect, there will be tragic results. Every person knows that - or at least we should. If your attitude is right, you can make it through almost anything. If your attitude is wrong, you're going to start losing altitude, tumbling, and eventually crashing. In life, we usually don't get to choose our circumstances, the kind of stuff we have to fly through. A lot of that is determined by forces or people beyond our control. But we can choose our attitude. And it will be our attitude, not our circumstances, that determine whether we stay up or go down.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Daisy Chains - #4773
You're so immersed in your work, your family, your activities, even your church that you're missing the reason God has placed you where you are - to help some of the folks there be in heaven with you some day! To be sure, God must draw them to Himself, but His chosen deliverer of how to know Him is you. He won't be sending an angel to tell them what Jesus did for them on the cross. He's left that with you. You're their chance.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Power of a Satisfied Customer - #4802
Many of us would like to leave it to someone who can do it better - like a pastor or evangelist. The problem is that in our world today, those folks are perceived as professional God-salesmen - which most lost folks aren't interested in. But then, God's strategy never has been to leave spiritual rescuing just to His professional lifeguards. He works through the everyday believers; His satisfied customers.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Laser Living - #4721
Take a timeout to hear from your Father, like Jesus did. Let Him give you His passion for His priorities for your living, for your giving, and for your energy. If you've been too spread out over too many things, you're probably not making much of a difference in any of those things. What's diffused just doesn't make much impact.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stuffed With Junk - #4118
You've got to wonder what God sees when He looks down on the contents of our life. The "top" is always off as far as His view of us is concerned. He sees directly into our heart, our motives, our every thought. And all too often, our life and our heart are cluttered with "stuff" ... things we've filled our life with that are simply unnecessary to Him, useless to Him - actually limiting our usefulness to Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Cherish While There's Time - #4121
The experience of Rich's family is just another reminder that we need to cherish those we love while we can. We never know which hug will be the last hug, which "I love you" the last one, which "goodbye" the final goodbye. Now, the point of remembering that is not to be maudlin or to be anxious all the time. Our times are in God's hands, so they're in good hands. But it is important to realize that life is short at best, and we need to live in such a way that we do all those "I wish I had's" while we can still do them.
