Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Saying Goodbye to What's Been Holding Your Back - #5095
That's the kind of freedom Jesus wants to bring to you; freedom from always needing a man or a woman to make you feel valued and secure. Think of how they've let you down. Freedom from being an approval junkie, from seeing yourself as a victim all the time, from trying to find your worth in your work or your performance, freedom from the bottle, the drug, the sex, the applause that you've thought you needed to complete you. They never have, they never will.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Punch You're Not Ready For - #5109
See, it's important to know where your most vulnerable spots are because I'll tell you, your enemy knows. So how do you handle this? How do you get ready for the punch? Each morning, you consciously surrender that soft spot, that weakness to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Jesus Journal - #5113
When we forget God's benefits, we make spiritually, cowardly decisions. We miss the next miracles and maybe the will of God. Lately, I've been trying an experiment. I keep an encouragement journal off and on - it's a Jesus Journal. And you know, I write down today's date and I write down God's work in that day, whatever it was. It's really exciting at the end of that day or maybe the next morning to show the places that God was at work, benefits I don't want to forget.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Greatest Miracle Known to Man - #4009
The amazing birth of a baby is actually the second greatest miracle known to man. The greatest miracle is another birth - one which I hope you have experienced for yourself.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - As Long As You're Following - #4012
Following is exactly what Jesus has commanded those of us who belong to Him to do. His often-repeated command is, "Follow Me." To the extent that we are following the One who's supposed to be in front of us, the happier we are. To the extent we're unhitched and off on our own, we're not very happy. Things work as long as we're following.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Play-Doh Or Rock? - #4037
Unfortunately, there are way too many people who are just like Play-Doh - they keep changing shape - emotionally, that is. You never know if they're going to be up or down, happy or miserable, negative or positive, loving or selfish. As long as you run your life based on how you're feeling right now, you're going to be Play-Doh, constantly changing the shape you're in.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - God's Upgrade System - #4043
We lost our van - only to get back more van than we had before. That modus operandi has been repeated in our life so many times - and in the lives of millions of God's children across the centuries. It is one of the exciting ways of God. He sometimes takes something away to replace it with something much better.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Only An Instrument - #4053
Our word for today from the Word of God comes from the last chapter of Scripture the Apostle Paul ever wrote. It's from 2 Timothy 4:17, probably written from a Roman prison cell shortly before Paul's death. It is, in a sense, his reflection on his whole life's work - an amazing life's work.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Unbaptized Hand - #4055
This "withholding approach" to Christian commitment has a long history. It goes back at least as far as the incident in our word for today from the Word of God, beginning in Acts 5:1.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Thousand Invisible Mornings - #4056
I've never understood people who get involved in a sport or an activity or in anything and settle for mediocre. If you're going to get into it, aim to be all you can be. Now if that's true in sports, it's really true when it comes to serving the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ.
