Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Standing Strong, In Spite Of The Storm - #4397
The creed of the guards of the Unknown Soldier commits them to maintain their vigil for America's honored dead, no matter what the storm. And even with permission to avoid the ravages of the storm, they refused to leave their post. It's the kind of loyalty and dedication that should characterize anyone trusted with an assignment by Jesus Christ - who deserves the highest honor for the death He died for us and His victory over death on Easter Morning.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Shocking Truth About History's Ultimate Crime - #4399
If there's one thing you want to be straight on, it's understanding the death of Jesus Christ. Because God says what we do with what His Son did there will decide where we spend eternity.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Energy or Fat? - #4577
Why is it that North American Christians are so well fed, and yet, so spiritually powerless compared to third world Christians who have so much less? Could it be that we're just hearing it, filing it, and not applying it? Are we just letting it turn into spiritual fat? And people in situations where they have to put it immediately to work are living on it, living for it, living it!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - You Built it - He Starts it - #4582
You can create the conditions in which God can spark revival. You can prepare it. He says humble yourself. That means bringing yourself to Him; asking Him to bring you into a total sense of dependency on Him - a sense of personal powerlessness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Don't Forget the ''Meta'' in Your Morphosis - #4584
You've got to burn the bridges to all the things that have helped you do that sin, and the people who have helped you do that sin, and the influences. You go back and make it right with the people who have been affected by that sin and you ask for their forgiveness, and you look for some accountability people to check up on you. God is as tired of your spiritual crawling as you are. He wants you to fly, and repentance is the missing difference.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Old Guy's Gone for Good - #4588
Sin separates us from the people we love, from the person we want to be; that we need to be. It separates us from our Creator forever, unless we are "In Christ."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Dying from Doing Nothing - #4599
All you have to do to have this life cheapened by sin is to do nothing. All you have to do to spend eternity in hell instead of heaven is to do nothing. Stay as you are and sin will kill you. God says, rid yourself of your sin. Get a new heart, and you can only do that at the cross where Christ died for you, where He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." He was forgiving you and me when He said that, and giving us the possibility of a new beginning and a new heart.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Life-Saving Pain - #4656
If someone you love is the one who's away from the Lord, you can pray in accordance with God's recovery plan here in Hosea 2. Pray for the thornbushes and the walls and the frustrating pursuits that can cause this one you love to think about what they're doing and to remember the better days - the Jesus-days.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Where You Were Born to Be - #4658
You know there's got to be something more. Maybe God is stirring your soul and trying to move you where you were born to be, doing what you were born to do. And it's different from what you're doing now. Don't be afraid of it. Be expectant. And be obedient - no matter how risky that obedience looks. There's actually no such thing as a risky obedience - only a risky disobedience.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Taking it to the Boss - #4206
Authority is really the decisive factor in getting anything done - putting it in the hands of the person who is in charge. Now that is a fundamental secret of getting things done when you pray! Those who understand that mountain-moving faith is about realizing Who's in charge are people who pray with power and who get results.
