Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Trampling on a Masterpiece
"When I was on a mission in England and Ireland, I had a day to spend in the historic English city of York. What a place! Surrounded by a medieval wall, it is dominated by a cathedral that might be second only to Westminster Abbey in London. There was an unusual scene out in front—an artist on his knees, painstakingly working on a chalk drawing on the sidewalk in front of the cathedral. When I moved closer and took a look at it, I saw it was the Mona Lisa. He must have been working on it all day. It was beautifully done. As I went inside a restaurant, I noticed the artist had left. Within minutes, a little boy came up, intentionally ran over the artwork, then stomped back and forth and made footprints all over it. Other kids followed him and did the same thing. They trampled all over an artist’s hard work. It hurt to see someone doing that." Ron Hutchcraft

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to See Through Your Blind Spot
It is pretty clear what God is saying here. Wise people know how to accept correction and criticism. We need the people around us who confront us, challenge us, and even criticize us because we all have a blind spot. We all have weaknesses in ourselves we cannot see. There are hurtful ways we treat people, ways we say things, ways we act when we’re busy or tired, or ways we abuse the truth, people’s feelings, and biblical boundaries. Some of our most entrenched sins are often sins we cannot see very well. We are so used to doing things a certain way that we will never see some sins without the help of someone else.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Guidance System for the Missiles at Home
It has been said that “Children are messengers we send to a time we will not see.” Sounds like they’re going to be our missiles to the future. Today, a lot of parents look in the eyes of their son or daughter and wonder if they have what they need in a world like this. Challenging parenting is nothing new.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Marriage Miracles
Notice what brought Jesus to Cana that day...a marriage. Notice, too, that He did His first miracle at a wedding. Maybe your marriage could use a miracle right now. That day in Cana there was a change that no man or woman could make.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Power of a Fist
Maybe you can see it in your church. Don’t fall for it. Don’t waste any ammunition on each other. Save it all for the real enemy. The devil knows the power of a family that is pulling together in a crisis, so he wants to use the crisis to get you to turn on each other. A crisis in a family, in a church, or in a ministry can either divide us into fingers working alone or unite us into a fist that has knockout power.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Never Meant To Drive - #5590
How can someone who's been around Jesus - who knows a lot about Jesus - still miss Jesus? And ultimately miss the heaven that only those who know Jesus will ever see. The people who ended up with Jesus came to the point where they saw that God's way was right - that God should be driving their life.
