Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One Solid Beginning - #5541
The good news is if you've told the Lord you're turning from your sin and pinning all your hopes on Him, you have the relationship. You can quit trying to get it! You have passed over - past tense - it's settled!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The New Engine Difference - #5570
Actually, a lot of us have some emissions coming out of our lives that aren't too pleasant either. Maybe you know some of those feelings - too often there is anger spewing out - or self-pity because we feel like a victim - or negative, critical attitudes. We say what we later regret we said - we do what we later regret we did - we're hooked on what we wish we could stop - we leave a trail behind us of people who have choked on the smoke we put out. And it's not that we haven't tried to fix it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Unsinkable Myth - #5575
If you can't become humble and dependent, you'll never see heaven! Why? Well, a lot of us are human Titanics steaming along through life feeling unsinkable. Our motto is "I can handle it." We think that spirit of independence and self-effort will somehow also help us make it with God. That is a tragic miscalculation. My evaluation of me does not matter. I'm not the judge; it's only God's that matters.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Your Personal Eclipse - #5588
The reason for the eclipse is something between you and the Light. Something is blocking His blessing on you right now. And David nailed it; he said, "It's my sin." You may have looked everywhere else for an explanation of this dark time, but the light won't return until you quit covering up that sinful attitude, action, relationship, or habit, and you bring it to Jesus' cross in personal repentance.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Same Old Baggage - #5610
Why does Jesus ask us if we want to get well? Because sometimes we're afraid to change. We've gotten used to playing the victim role, the loser role. We've settled into an identity that revolves around that same old baggage. Notice the man didn't just say "Yes." He responded with a nobody cares complaint. He's gotten used to being the guy with the problem, he was stuck in his victim identity, but Jesus acts miraculously and that man walks away carrying what had been carrying him for years.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Bridges to Nowhere - #5611
Salvation is in no one else. We have to be saved by His name. How can this be? Mankind seems to know instinctively that we need some kind of bridge to get to God. We feel the distance between us and the one who made us, and maybe you do. We're trying to discover what will get us to Him. So, we have the Protestant bridge to God with good works that are supposed to take us to God, and the Catholic bridge with good Catholic things to do, and the Jewish bridge, and the Muslim bridge, and the Buddhist bridge, and the Hindu bridge, and the bridge of New Age spirituality, etc.
