Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Volcano Scars
When you're angry, you're probably a lot like a volcano. You erupt, spew out your lava, and often blow away a piece of the other person, if not yourself. ... Every one of us carries around parts of us that have been mortally wounded by something someone said to us in anger. They may have forgotten it, but we can't ever forget it because those create volcano scars. Why do we do this to other people and usually the people we love the most?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Human Volcanoes
It's tough living with a volcano that could go off any minute. Could that be how the people around you feel? ...
When the stress, pressure, and aggravation build up, maybe you become a human volcano—blowing up and doing some serious damage, especially to people you love. Like a volcano, the eruption is over fairly quickly, but the damage it does can last a lifetime.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Longer It Waits, The Harder It Gets
Anger turns hard very quickly, and that gives the devil an opportunity to enter a marriage, a parent-child relationship, a friendship, or a church. At the core of every marriage break-up there has probably been an issue that was once a small one, but it was not dealt with immediately. At the core of a broken parent-child relationship, a hurting friendship, or a divided church, there are people who didn't clean up their anger when it first appeared, when it was still small and relatively soft, so it's led to a terrible outcome. The devil got his foot in the door.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Fascinated With Angels
The truth can be found in the Word of God. God tells us where angels fit into the whole scheme of things. The Word of God says in Hebrews 1:6, "And again, when God brings His first born into the world He says, 'Let all God's angels worship Him.'" It tells us here that there definitely are angels, and He commands all of them to worship His Son.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Whatever Happened to Peace on Earth
The phrase "peace on earth" wasn't invented by a greeting card company. It was part of the birth announcement of the first Christmas, delivered by angels from heaven to shepherds in the field watching over their sheep. Luke 2:13-14 from the Word of God says, "Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.'"

Rejoicing in heaven when one person comes home spiritually is a great picture! It seems that the angels break into a celebration—a welcome home party—when someone turns from their sin to Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hurt and Hiding
Do you feel alone and have been too hurt to trust anyone? Somewhere along the way you've been hurt, abandoned, betrayed, or mistreated. ... You're afraid to let anyone get close.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stepped On But Still Precious
There are many people today who have been treated poorly. They feel beaten up, mishandled, treated badly, crushed, and trampled on. When someone's been treated like that, they begin to believe that they aren't worth much. If they were, why would anyone treat them like that?
