Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Laser Praying - #8271 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
A few years ago, my wife had a severe gall bladder attack. In fact, it was so severe it was going to require having her gall bladder removed in a city 2,000 miles from home. Well I didn’t like that, but it turned out to be a gift from God! At home, the doctors would have had to go what they call the “long way.” It’s an invasive approach that takes weeks to recover from. The doctor we ended up with was an outstanding laser surgeon, and the laser took care of that problem. My wife was up in two days! Now, she could have lay there under diffused light for days, and it would have made no difference. But look at what focused light can do! Maybe we can use a little lasering when we need a change in something or someone we care about.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - What You'd Thought You'd Never Get Rid Of - #8270 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’ve been looking at those marks on our table for so long, I just about forgot they were there. See, our grandchildren had gotten to it and they left their artwork there with markers, and pens, and crayons. Well, not long ago, a friend was helping us with some work at the house, and she decided to use this special sponge on those marks. I think it’s called Miracle Erase. Well, we were stunned at the result! It was like we got a new table. My wife said, “I never thought I’d get rid of those.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Your Secret Weapon - #8269 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Steve was one of the world’s great pool players. He was a winner on the outside. Inside, he knew something big was missing. It turned out it was Jesus. When he opened his life to the God who made Him, he realized that a lot of the junk that went with his life on the pool circuit didn’t go with following Jesus. He laid it all down. He went for years of Christian education. And as He told me, to his surprise, God then told him to pick up that pool cue again and use it to point people to Jesus…which he’s been doing big time. And folks who love the game he loves are getting introduced to the Savior he loves.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Missing What Matters - #8265 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
It took me a while to admit it, but my arms were no longer long enough for me to read what was in my hand. Yeah, in other words, I needed glasses. You see, I’m farsighted. I see what’s far but not what’s close. Spiritually, I–and most of my fellow Christians–have to battle the opposite vision problem.

Of this world in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Jesus tells the Jews that while he is not of this world, they are of the world. He is from the above, and they are from the below.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Embarrassing Endorsements - #8254 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
They call them celebrity endorsements. You know, I see some athlete or celebrity in a commercial, using some product, and I’m supposed to think, “Hey, I like that guy. So I guess I’ll use their product.” Athletes, for example, can make major bucks from these endorsements. Here’s where the problem comes in. What if the guy you’ve associated with your product is suddenly associated with some not-so-nice behavior; like the Olympic star eating a certain cereal who was also allegedly photographed using marijuana? Oops! Or the singer with the chewing gum in his hand who suddenly is accused of not treating his girlfriend very well? Oops! That’s when endorsement turns to like embarrassment.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Chief and the Thief - #8247 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
He was known as one of the most respected Indian chiefs of his time; he had this unblemished reputation for being totally loving toward his people, but also totally just when it came to judging those who did wrong. He was troubled that someone from their village had been stealing pelts from his people. He let it be known that the thief would be tied to a stake in the middle of the village when the sun was high and beaten with twenty lashes of the whip. And then he set a trap to catch the thief.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Why Death Is Not Scary Anymore - #8245 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Well, as sad as that parting was, we all could be encouraged by one fact, and it made all the difference. This wasn’t the end of our being together, it was just an interruption. ... I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and did you know that’s how Easter changed death forever.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - When You Are Doubting Thomas - #8243 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
When we moved in my senior year, I lost my Christian cocoon. I’d had a good youth group, a Bible club, a lot of Christians. And then, man, I had none of the above. I was like the “Lone Christian.” And I was in this one class where the teacher challenged everything I believed, and now I was questioning things that I never really questioned before. What if we’d been raised in another culture? Would I have believed something else? Well, I really started digging into the evidence for myself, and I’ll tell you today the things I struggled with are the things I know are true beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Racing the Night - #8238 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
For centuries, people had to live by the sun. Sun up, work like crazy to get things done while you can; sun down, sleep so you can wake up with the sun. Along came the electric light bulb—lit up the night. Not long ago, we had a taste of the old days. The storm knocked out our power and suddenly left us on sort of a survival basis. And when it got dark, it got dark. I learned that I had to divide my work into two categories: things you have to do while there’s light and things you can do when darkness closes in. Come about 4:30 in the afternoon, I got this real strong sense of urgency. Time’s running out, boy, work while you can.
