Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Mission Glue - #4453
As Paul once pleaded with former warriors in the battle to come together, I believe Jesus is pleading with us to get our eyes off each other and on the people who are dying without Him all around us. It is no one other than Satan who distracts us from our rescue mission - so he can keep his prisoners. It's our mission that forces us to come together, to fight our common enemy, to fight for our common Savior. We're same blood, remember? The blood of the Son of God!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Ultimate Battlefield Tragedy - #4479
Your brother, your sister - they're not the real enemy. And wrestling with them isn't the real battle. Don't waste any more bullets on one of your own. In the army of God, "friendly fire" is not only the ultimate tragedy, it is an enemy victory.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Only Two Days On Your Calendar - #4481
Martin Luther said he had only two days on his calendar: Judgment Day and this day. It's the only day I can live right now. I don't need to be weighed down with yesterday. It can't be changed. I don't need to be fretting about the future. I'm not there yet and I can't control it. What I have is today, one 24-hour slice of life in which to honor my Lord in everything I do.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Altar - Whatever it Takes - #4488
Maybe you've almost put your life on hold until you find that man or woman to marry. Don't waste a precious day of your life waiting for what you don't have. Live this day - single or married - with all your heart! And don't let your waiting start to turn you hard and cynical and bitter and negative. Those kinds of responses insult the God who said He will meet your needs, and they repel love rather than attracting it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Crawling's Not Enough - #4496
Our son is like any father - he's happy his daughter isn't content to stay where she is. She's restless for more. He would have every reason to be very concerned if she was content to stay at a level below where she was meant to live. That may be how your Heavenly Father feels about you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Sunsets in the Puddles - #4304
Few, if any of us, have endured something so inhuman, so unjust, or so brutal as those who suffered through the Holocaust in Hitler's death camps. But they can teach us something -- that while you often cannot choose your circumstances, you can choose your attitude in the midst of those circumstances. Your environment, however harsh and hurting, does not have to be decisive in the kind of person you are and the kind of response you choose.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hijackers in the Church - #4380
Now that's one place you wouldn't expect to find hijackers - in the church. Oh, but they're there. If a hijacker is someone who tries to take over what belongs to someone else, to use it for their own ends, well then we've got quite a few hijackers in the church.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Glory of Rainy Days - #4583
The more it rains in your life, the greener you get spiritually, the more alive. That's what rain does, that's what pain does, and that's what suffering does. It's the greening of us. You might need to know that right now because, man, is it raining in your life. You're going through a very long, very stormy time, and maybe it's been a while since you've seen the sun.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stuck in a Holding Pattern - #4590
Paul never flew, but I don't think he would have liked a holding pattern. Maybe that's what you're in right now spiritually. You started on your journey in Jesus and you've made some progress, but somewhere along the way you slowed down, you put on the brakes, and you're circling ground that you've covered before. You're not standing still, you're just circling in a holding pattern. You are using up fuel and time in a cycle of sameness. You're going to the meetings, you're giving, you're serving, you're singing, but it's meaningless motion - a holding pattern.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Power Preposition - #4605
We are only servants through whom, not by whom, not from whom, only through whom you came to believe. This is like a server in a restaurant. It's not her recipe. It's not her effort. She just delivers what someone else has worked on and made possible. That's what Jesus was saying when he said, "I am the vine, you are the branches." The branch doesn't produce the fruit. It looks like it's producing the fruit, but it comes from the vine, through the branches.
