Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Cherish While There's Time - #4121
The experience of Rich's family is just another reminder that we need to cherish those we love while we can. We never know which hug will be the last hug, which "I love you" the last one, which "goodbye" the final goodbye. Now, the point of remembering that is not to be maudlin or to be anxious all the time. Our times are in God's hands, so they're in good hands. But it is important to realize that life is short at best, and we need to live in such a way that we do all those "I wish I had's" while we can still do them.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Unexpressed Love - #4128
No matter what the circumstances, that is one of life's deepest regrets - love that wasn't expressed. The time to remember that is right now, when folks you love are still there. And a teenage girl's tearful regret at Ground Zero is a powerful reminder to all of us that we need to be expressing our love to the people around us, at many times, in many ways. Because love unexpressed is love unenjoyed.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Blindness That Makes You Crash - #4135
Fog can make you temporarily blind. So can rain or snow. And so can your hormones. It happened even to King David, who God called "a man after God's own heart." David's hormonal blindness - which led to so many devastating crashes - is described in one of the saddest chapters in the Bible.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How You Treat a Treasure - #4138
There's another handoff taking place at a wedding besides a Dad giving his daughter to her new husband. You can't see it, but God is entrusting this woman He made into that man's hands, as well. In fact, the Bible says that "the Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth" - and it goes on to make clear that He cares very much about how you treat the treasure He's given you. He doesn't want the "Stradivarius" He created to end up in the hands of a gorilla!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why There are Desperate Housewives - #4839
Each of us married men should be giving ourselves a little three-question test about how we're treating our wife. First, am I loving her in the ways that make her feel loved? Secondly, am I offering her my exclusive attention on a regular basis? Thirdly, am I building her confidence by frequently praising her for specific strengths I see in her? The man who can answer "yes" to those questions is really a man - a provider for his woman's greatest needs.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Pace Car In Every Race - #4147
Now our word for today from the Word of God goes back to the dawn of all human relationships and the birth of the family, and it reveals who God considers the pace car in life's races. Genesis 3:6 - "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." Here, in this awful moment, sin and death enter the world as Adam and Eve trespass the clear boundaries of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Loving by Anticipating - #4164
Now, if anticipating your needs means something in a restaurant, imagine how much it means in a marriage! Actually, I saw some married friends in a local restaurant recently, friends who have been married a long time. Based on some things he had said, I made this observation, "These sound like the best years you've ever had together." He smiled broadly and said, "Yeah - because after 40 years, I'm learning not just to meet her needs, but to anticipate her needs."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Girl Watching - God is Watching #4186
It's actually a message the Creator of women would more than agree with. A woman is depersonalized, sexualized, trivialized by the way many men look at them - and she's the creation of a holy God; a Father in heaven. And you know how fierce a father is about protecting His daughter!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Invisible Victim - #4858
Right now you may be involved in something you know is wrong - it's a compromise, it's rebellion, it's wrong. You say, "Well, it's not hurting anyone." Oh yes, it is. When Jesus' right hand man, Peter, denied him, the Bible says that Peter went out and wept bitterly over it - but only after Jesus, on His way to His trial, turns and looks straight at Peter. And suddenly Peter realized he wasn't just breaking laws. He was breaking his Savior's heart.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Medal of Honor Men - #8074
Not really, but the kind of love God expects of us husbands, is the kind that does abandon our self preservation for our wife. To live a life that matters at home, her needs matter more than yours. Her need to be heard matters more than your need to get things done
