Lighting Up At The End Of The Game - #3017
Maybe you've allowed yourself to slip into a survival mentality, or maybe you've become self-absorbed or self-pitying. In the fourth quarter, some people just settle into a reward mindset. "Well, I've worked hard all these years. I'll just settle back and relax now. It's time just to reward myself for what I did in the first three quarters of the game." Wait a minute! The game isn't over yet! We'll rest in heaven. We'll get rewarded in heaven.

4-D Glasses - #2501
You're not looking at just your circumstances, you're looking for your Lord at work, in your phone call, in an accident that was avoided, in a word of encouragement, there's the Lord in that little child, there He is speaking through that powerful storm, in the geese going by overhead, through some unanticipated help in your life. You find yourself thanking God often throughout the day, and you lose the complaining.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Emptying Your Trash Basket - #8273 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
There’s plenty of junk e-mail–spam, they call it. But sometimes you get a gem in some of the creative stuff that friends forward to you. I got a child’s version of the Lord’s Prayer that both amused and even enlightened me; especially when this little boy got to the part where many Christians pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Except this boy heard it this way: “Forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Death of a Star - #8263 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
During my first ski lesson, I fell down on the beginners' slope and I hurt the part of me that God designed for that purpose. Tragically, when actress Natasha Richardson fell on the bunny slope, she sustained a head injury that only hours later ended her life. It was an unlikely death; it was an untimely death. You know, five years ago, she said: "Every morning I wake up and think how lucky I am, probably because of fear, because it can all be gone in a moment." Well, it can for any of us.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Combustible Living - #8262 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I was reminded of the story Roy told me about when he was a young bookkeeper during the Depression. He took enormous pride in keeping meticulous records for his company. Then came the day the company went under. Roy’s final order from his boss: go out back and burn the books. Roy told me of the life-changing day when he watched his life’s work literally go up in flames. He soon became a great pastor.

When the Container Lies to You - #5918
Don't fall for those lies on sin's package. Check its real contents, as exposed graphically in the Bible. If you've already opened sin's package, get out while you can. If you're looking at a compromise that God calls sin, run the other way. You haven't got time for the pain, for the scars, for the slavery, for the shame. Do it God's way, even if it's harder, even if it takes longer. Remember, it's the narrow road that leads to life. It's the wide road that leads to destruction

Dot Fixation - #2662
God may be asking you right now, "So what do you see?" If it's just the dot in front of you, you will probably get it wrong. Let your Lord lift your eyes to the larger canvas on which today's dot is very small - the canvas of an all-powerful, all-loving Father working in your life and His unstoppable, eternal plan for you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The End of Your Journey - #8255 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Not long ago, we had occasion to pass through Albuquerque, New Mexico. And I was reminded of a dear Native American friend, who is up in years and battling some physical problems. He told me that he views this part of his life as he does driving to Albuquerque. See, there’s this long climb to get to the top of this steep hill, and then suddenly, there it is: the beautiful lights of the city that you’ve wanted to get to.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Titanic Tragedy - #8250 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I had just arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia to speak. And much to his surprise, I asked the cabbie to take me to the cemetery. I walked along this line of markers that all had the same date—April 15, 1912. That was the fateful day the Titanic went down. 1500 passengers died, only 700 survived. But most of the people buried in that cemetery did not have to die that night.
