Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Followers With Footnotes - #4992
Suddenly, you're giving the Lord a contract with certain requirements - living in certain conditions, being near your family, keeping your position or some prized possessions, keeping a special person in your life, being comfortable. You're saying, "Yes, Lord, but..." Added conditions. The word "but" cannot follow the word "Lord."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Build a Storm-Proof Marriage - #5002
No other passion, no more important voice, no accumulating anger, no reckless words, no back door: five commitments - five walls to protect your marriage from the storms that could destroy it. Build those walls high, build them strong. That kind of love is more powerful than any storm.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Jesus Where You Live - #5004
People you see each day often need something from Jesus, whether they realize it or not. They may need to feel His love, so Jesus prompts you to show them His love in some act of kindness, or caring, or rescue. He sends His encouragement through you to discouraged people, His financial provision through what He's given you to give, some gift that will show how much He cares. Every day, He wants you to leave with your "needometer" on and finely tuned - going through your day, not just to survive or to get your "to do" list done, but to look for needs and to deliver gifts from Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Spring is Never Sudden - #5029
Here's how God operates: First, there's the seed of what He wants to do, placed in the ground by faith. And then, as far as we can see, nothing is happening. But there is, in fact, invisible growth going on the whole time. It would be a very damaging mistake to keep digging up that seed. You know, "I got to see if anything is happening here." You're going to ruin it that way. The invisible growing time is then followed by some first signs of life. And ultimately, the long-awaited crop appears - but not really suddenly. Just like those beautiful flowers of spring.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Free From the Chains of a Lifetime - #5055
Giving yourself to Jesus will literally change the story of the rest of your life. You may have been born sin's slave - you may have lived as sin's slave - but from this day on, you're going to live, and you're going to die, free!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Being Someone's Miracle - #5209
The folks around you may not realize they're dying spiritually. But they do know that something's missing, that life isn't working, that they don't have personal peace, or that they are living as one writer said, "lives of quiet desperation." They need a miracle to save them - a miracle with skin on. Someone close enough to them to rescue them from a life and an eternity without Christ.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Speeding by the Cross - #4004
But for all its eternal importance in determining our heaven or our hell, too many of us glance briefly at Jesus' death on the cross, think it's nice, and drive on by. It could be that you've made many stops on your life-journey, looking for that spiritual or emotional fill up that would satisfy your soul. But nothing ever has.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Composer and the Performers - #4006
Of course the problem with that concert was not Beethoven - it was how that band performed what he wrote. Jesus has that same problem with those who try to "perform His music" - that is, try to live what He taught. Now, the Composer is still a genius - but don't judge Him by those who play His music imperfectly.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Most Powerful Prayer You'll Ever Pray - #4073
Which leads us to the most powerful prayer you can pray. "Lord, I give up." It could be those three words are all that's keeping you from a supernatural answer - "I give up." You've been like that frustrated ladybug my wife watched for so long trying to climb our window. You've reached an obstacle that you just can't get over. And you've been struggling so hard to find or concoct an answer, that you've limited yourself to you getting yourself over this. You've come at it from one direction, then another, only to end up frustrated and unsuccessful every time.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Price To Go Free - #4089
Ransom unpaid, you pay the penalty. Ransom paid, you go free. The ransom made the difference. That's true, not only in the history of those Civil War communities - it's true in our own personal histories. You and I face a terrible penalty - and the ransom makes all the difference. Not just for now, but for eternity.
