Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Escape from Lonely Island - #4850
One way to make a lonely time a short time is to find someone who needs you; to reach out from your loneliness, even if you don't feel like it, to make a difference for someone else. At a time when loneliness leaves you thinking mostly about yourself, it's important to decide to look beyond yourself. Another antidote to loneliness is to expand your world, especially your circle of friendships. If you take the risks to reach out to more people, you can reduce your trips to Lonely Island.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Where You Were Born to Be - #4855
Just like those fish were created to be in the pressure of that deep sea environment, just like the earth was created to be in an orbit around the sun, you were created for Jesus, you were created by Jesus for a relationship with Jesus, where you live for Jesus. When you have this personal relationship with Him, you're finally where you were born to be.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Marking Generations - #4863
When you're deciding who you're going to marry, you're actually deciding who's going to shape your children, and who will in turn, shape their children with what they got from you and your spouse, and who will, in turn - well, you get the idea.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Joy of Facing Forward - #4868
I want to encourage you, on behalf of the Lord of new beginnings, to make today the day that you choose to finally close that dark old chapter. That may require forgiving someone who wronged you - not because they deserve it, any more than you and I deserved Jesus' forgiveness. You'll do it because Jesus commanded us to follow His example and to release that person by forgiving them - leaving them to God to make it right, committing to treat them, not the way they treated you, but the way Jesus treated you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Rudderless - #4169
That poor young husband. It's tough to be trying to sail without a rudder to guide you. It's actually a feeling a lot of folks know, even if they've never been on a sailboat in their life. In fact, it's our lives that often seem rudderless - drifting - without any real sense of direction. It doesn't matter how big or how small your life is, it can still feel rudderless.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Avoiding A Fall - #4177
Tino Wallenda says that he has found that his grandfather's secret for not falling off the high-wire is also the secret for keeping your balance in life - concentrating on something that never moves. For him, that is Jesus Christ. He's made the right choice.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Homeless In Your Heart - #4184
Now, it's possible to have a place - maybe a beautiful place - to go home to every night and still know deep feelings of homelessness in your heart. Like you've never really found the emotional home, the spiritual home you've always wanted to experience.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You March Off the Map - #4195
It can happen when things suddenly change financially for you, or occupationally, or medically. You can suddenly be thrust into the unknown by losing someone you love, by changes with your spouse or your child, by all kinds of upheaval. You did know where you were going and all of a sudden, you don't have a clue.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Riding in the Car that's Looking Backward - #4896
Jesus is the Lord of new beginnings, of fresh starts, of clean slates. You need to come to Him and let Him release you from being tied to the people who've hurt you, by getting His grace to forgive them. You need to ask His help to begin to define your life, not by what has happened, but by what's going to happen; what can happen because of Jesus in your life.
