Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Open Window - #4313
That's one reason God gives us some very practical advice to avoid getting stuff you don't really want in your life. It's brief, it's to the point, and it's our word for today from the Word of God. Ephesians 4:27 says, "Do not give the devil a foothold." Or we might say, don't leave any window open that the devil could use to get in.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Fog Cannot Win - #4316
The fog never really stands a chance - it's no match for the inevitable victory of the sun - in a majestic mountain landscape, or in the dark moments of your life and mine. And it could be that you're in one of those seasons right now. It's been a time of loss, of grief, of doubt and confusion, of a prodigal loved one, of no answers. Maybe you've been walking through a fog where evil seems to be winning; where injustice seems to be prevailing. The fog has rolled into your life and obscured things you were once so sure of. It's covered the joy you once had with a sense of sadness and fear and even thoughts of giving up.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - God's Wooden Magnet - #4319
Jesus said in John 12:32, our word for today from the Word of God, "'But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.' He said this to show the kind of death He was going to die." Strip away all the Christianity, and all the rituals, and all the steeples, and all the creeds and you're down to what this is really the issue - the God who hung on the cross. Jesus, God's one and only Son, pouring out His life to absorb all the hell of all the sin of all the people who have ever lived. Including you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You're at the Edge - #4322
For you, that might be right now. You are at one of those points we all reach several times in our life -- sometimes several times in a year! You're at the edge -- financially, with a son or daughter you don't know what to do with, or maybe in your marriage. It could be you're at the edge emotionally; you're not sure how much more you can take, or your responsibilities have gotten so heavy that they're taking you to the edge.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Killer Storm and a Calm Captain - #4336
A calm captain who has been through these fearful storms before, who knows everything will be okay at the end of the day, who has brought so many others safely through. Now, that's what makes the difference when it feels as if the storm is going to sink you. If you belong to Jesus Christ, you have such a Captain! That's why the writer of "Amazing Grace" could write: "Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come. 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Peace in Daddy's Arms - #4339
Our granddaughter felt safe, not because she wasn't in the middle of chaos -- believe me, she was -- but because of the security she has being in her Father's arms. It's a kind of security maybe you can only wish for right now because everything around you is up for grabs.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Big Game And The Big Letdown - #4391
It doesn't just happen in sports - it's happened to most of us who are trying to follow Jesus Christ. Take the prophet Elijah, for example. For him, the Big Game was at a place called Mt. Carmel where he challenged 450 false prophets of Baal to the ultimate showdown - whose God would send fire from heaven to consume the sacrifice on the altar?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Galaxies and the Groceries - #4595
Look at God with the wide-angle lens trained on Him. He's in heaven. His name is to be revered, hallowed, reverenced, and we should be driven to our knees by who He is. He's the God who rules a hundred billion galaxies, and when you pray, you are in the throne room from which it is all governed. Prayer should never be boring or wimpy, or trivial again when you know Who you're with.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Leaving Without a Fill-Up - #4602
We have to take time to get "prayed up" before we start running for Jesus. The prayer meeting needs to precede any other meeting. We have to be in His book, looking for His personal guidance. We have to get on our knees or our face and re-surrender to Him for that day, for that work. We need to come to a point of seeing that we're unworthy and powerless when it comes to doing anything for Jesus, and then let His power take us over.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Key that is Right in Front of You - #4634
The Bible says that "He carried our sins in His own body on the tree." The one you and I have sinned against stands ready to forgive every sin we've ever committed. He died to do that. This officer heard Jesus say then, "Today you will be with me in Paradise," to a thief on the cross next to Him. This Jesus has the power to take us to heaven with Him. It's ultimate peace to know that on the day your heart beats for the last time, Jesus is going to say to you, "Today you will be with me in Paradise."
