Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Ear Before the Mouth - #4812
Listening is the key to understanding a person. If you don't hear them out, you cannot understand. You've got to hear more than their words. You've got to listen long enough to hear their heart. If you don't, you'll probably miss where they're really at when you talk and your response probably won't even really fit where they're coming from. Secondly, listening is a primary way to make the person you're with feel important. I wonder how people feel after they've been around you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Uncontrolled Fire - #4103
A man let a fire start to help meet a personal need he had. It raged out of control and did more damage than he could have imagined in his worst nightmares. Well, that is a mistake many a man has made - and even some women - with a deadly fire that the Bible calls lust.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hearing Your Child - #4112
If you're a mom or dad, you need to hear what the first deaf Miss America said about hearing - that you need to do whatever you have to do to be able to hear your children. Some of us parents whose physical hearing is just fine have often been deaf to what our children may be thinking, or feeling or needing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When The Wrong Thing Feels Right - #4120
Trust your feelings and what you can see - or trust the One who's got the big picture. That's the kind of choice that you, as a follower of Jesus Christ, face over and over again. Because your feelings often lie to you and what you can see is so limited, it can lead you the wrong way. You probably know that from experience - too much experience.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Nuzzles And Nips - #4125
Apparently, little horses need both - nuzzles and nips. So do little people. And sadly, too many parents are giving a lot of one to their child and not much of the other. Some give the nuzzles, but not the nips. Some are giving a lot of nips, but not many nuzzles. Even horses know that young ones need both.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Falling Down, But Not Staying Down - #4137
God's children have something to learn from their own children. When you fall down, you don't stay down. You get up and start walking again. Sadly, when many of us take a spiritual fall, we quit trying to walk. We just stay down. Maybe that's where you are right now.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why There are Desperate Housewives - #4839
Each of us married men should be giving ourselves a little three-question test about how we're treating our wife. First, am I loving her in the ways that make her feel loved? Secondly, am I offering her my exclusive attention on a regular basis? Thirdly, am I building her confidence by frequently praising her for specific strengths I see in her? The man who can answer "yes" to those questions is really a man - a provider for his woman's greatest needs.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Repeating Part of Eating - #4849
Isn't it time you start to take seriously God's command, "Guard your heart"? He says that's above all else! What you are eating is affecting you. And no matter how good it tastes or looks, you just cannot afford the damage it's doing and will do long after the flavor is past. If Jesus is against it, don't watch it, don't listen to it, don't laugh at it. Load up on the good stuff that promotes what's pure and right and positive, because what you eat now does affect you later!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Set of Your Sail - #4862
The force of the gale on Daniel was powerful. He didn't cave in because he had firmly set his sail in God's direction. And no one - not even the most powerful person in the world - could blow him off course. In order for you to be that kind of moral champion, you're going to need more than just a list of rules that your religion gave you. You'll need deep-down inside convictions, based not so much on a list of what's wrong, but on the ability to know what makes something wrong for a child of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The View From Down Below - #5634
When your view is under the clouds, under the weather, everything looks dark and dismal. If you didn't know better, you could assume that the sun was gone. But the view from higher up tells the real story - that the sun is still shining and the clouds aren't nearly as big a deal.
