Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Deep Holes, Beautiful Discoveries - #3926
I'll bet a lot of folks weren't very happy about that big hole in the ground opening up. It probably was a pain for some people -- potentially dangerous for others. But the "problem" of that sinkhole turned out to be the access route to beauty like those folks had never seen before. That has happened to a lot of us - when a big hole has opened up in our life. When things collapsed. And it may be that God is wanting you to look beyond that big hole - to see the undiscovered beauty that's underneath it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Excitement Of Being A Builder - #3943
You build up people in your world when you make them feel valuable when they're with you, when you compliment them, when you take interest in what matters to them, when you pray with them, when you tell them what you appreciate about them. How are you doing on using those building tools in the lives that are closest to you?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stabilizing Your Aircraft - #3991
How's my attitude? How's your attitude? It probably depends on how well you're lined up with the horizon. That's "horizon" as in the God you belong to - the fixed point in the midst of all the variables in your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Good Things Happen When Your Legs Give Out - #5518
You see, at that point, you are about to taste God's grace and God's power as only powerless people can, and your struggle will become your platform for talking about a Savior who is all you need when you have nothing to give. It's time to look up and say, "Daddy, carry me." Because you're never stronger than when your Father is carrying you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Bait and the Catch - #5574
Sometimes you'll hear a woman making the all too accurate complaint that "all men care about is the physical." Most women I'm acquainted with are not interested in being a sex object to men, or a thing rather than a person, or body parts rather than a whole person. They want a relationship with men, not a sexual game where they're just another conquest. And that's in line with what God wants.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Temporary Difference - #5583
When you focus on the temporary loss, you are vulnerable to do something, anything, to relieve the pain. And you often make a permanent mistake to get through some temporary pain. But you don't have to do that when your eyes are on the prize instead of on the pain of the race.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - In Search of the Anchor - #5586
We're looking for that anchor relationship that we know will be, let's call it unloseable. But the word "anchor" wouldn't describe our relationships for the most part, today, would it? Relationships would be better described as superficial, disappointing. We've never needed a count-on-able relationship more, and it's never been harder to find. The result? A deepening loneliness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Sunrise, Sunset Strategy - #5587
Remember how Jesus said we were to follow him, "Take up your cross daily and follow Me"? He taught us to pray for how much bread - daily bread. It's obvious that the divine strategy for following Him, from the Jews in the wilderness to us believers today, is to take one day at a time. To focus on what God wants to do between this morning's sunrise and tonight's sunset, so to speak.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Beauty of the Band - #5604
God provides a beautiful score for our spiritual band to follow in Hebrews 10:24-25. It's a standard to measure what you're doing with your family, the folks you work with, and the people you minister with. It says, "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."
