Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Empty Chair at Christmas - #4941
The love that Jesus is offering you is the only love on earth that is terror-proof, divorce-proof, death-proof, and that love can be yours today.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Unedited "Charlie Brown Christmas" - #4942
Those who have no respect for Jesus are totally unafraid to speak His name carelessly and recklessly. How can we who know who He is, who have been forgiven by His blood, be ashamed to speak His Name?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Not Just at Christmas - #4943
A lot of us think of Him mainly on Sunday at church. But He didn't come to be our holiday Jesus or our church Jesus. He came here to make possible a personal love relationship with Him that gives meaning to every day of our lives; not just to be a belief or a religious compartment in our lives.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When the Lights Go On - #4944
When you open up your life to Jesus, the wall between you and God comes down and you begin to understand the reason He put you here. He lights up a road that has been so dark before. What seemed so meaningless suddenly is illuminated with His eternal purpose.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Those Christmas Magic Words - #4945
Your sin is just too serious for any amount of religion to erase. It took Jesus pouring out His life on the cross to pay the death penalty for your sin to rescue you. He becomes your Savior when you grab Him like those hurricane victims grabbed their rescuer.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Proof You Are Loved - #5056
However others may have treated you, however you may think God feels about you, God loves you. So much that He sent His one and only Son all the way from heaven to die an awful death for you on a rugged cross. It was the only way you could have every wrong thing you've ever done forgiven by God. Sin has to be paid for with a death penalty. God's love for you is so great that He sacrificed the only One who could die in your place - His sinless Son, Jesus. So when you open your heart to Jesus, you are opening your heart to the greatest love in the universe.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Thanksgiving Kind of Hero - #5183
That's you - divinely positioned by God to help some people in your personal world meet His Son Jesus - their only hope of having any meaning in this life, their only hope of heaven when this life is over. And you're divinely prepared by God. The experiences, the interests, the personality, the pain - they're all gifts He's given you to connect with people who will listen to someone like you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Packing up Christmas - #5201
You and I don't get to decide how we relate to the Son of God. He has announced the terms of having Him in your life. First, He is the Savior. Today, we call it a rescuer - like those brave police and firefighters who went right into the holocaust at Ground Zero to bring people out. When the World Trade Towers collapsed, the only hope of people trapped in the rubble was a rescuer. Often we don't realize that our spiritual situation is just that deadly.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Christmas Eagles - #5202
Both Mary and Joseph were blasted out of their comfort zones to be the ones through whom Christ would come to the world. It's still that way today. This Christmas season, God's been stirring up your nest, asking you to do something in obedience to Him that is not comfortable, that doesn't look safe.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Everything But Jesus - #5203
If you've consciously begun your relationship with Jesus Christ, He is in your life right now. He's clearly said, if you open the door, "I will come in", and it is settled. But if you've never really given yourself to Jesus, it's hard to admit it to yourself, but it's deadly not to.
