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 - The Infallible Umpire - #4490
When you're struggling with a decision, one helpful guideline in getting it right is this: trust what you have peace about in the times when you're in God's presence. In other words, believe what you feel most consistently when you're praying fervently about that decision.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Secrets of Super-Size Prayer - #4525

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Only Way to Build a Home - #4440
The way that Indian man built his home decades ago is still the only way to build a home - one building block at a time. And those building blocks are called days. Not years, not months, not weeks - days.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Thunderhugs - #4443
We all need them, don't we? Especially at times when the storm is picking up and our security is shaking. I for one am deeply grateful we have in our God a Heavenly Father we can always run to and say, "It's time for a thunderhug!" And He has wonderfully promised that He is "our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of trouble. Therefore, we will not fear..." (Psalm 46:1-2). That's why David could say when he was a fugitive for his life, "I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears." (Psalm 34:4).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Carry the People You Need to Carry - #4447
Our oldest grandson learned something that day in the woods - "I can carry my brother - with help from above." So can you. It may be that at this time in your life you've been assigned by God to carry someone who cannot make it on their own. Maybe you've got more than one person to carry - even a bunch of people.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The No-Regrets Alarm - #4535
Now the day you put your trust in Jesus as Savior, God planted in your soul a sin alarm. Somebody planted a gluttony alarm in our refrigerator. There's this noise that makes you stop and think before you reach for something. It's annoying, but that pig can keep you from doing something you will regret later - like tomorrow on the scale! Now we need some noise inside of us when we are about to reach for something that we are going to later regret. And God delivers us from evil if we will listen to the inner alarms He triggers when we are about to sin.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Wrong Builder - #4543
The Lord isn't saying, "Work more." He's saying, "Trust more." Maybe you've been acting as if you're the builder. The reality is that the Lord uses your efforts, but success doesn't depend on your efforts. Jesus said you're just a branch. The results come through you, not from you. He's the vine. He produces the results, not all of your frantic efforts.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Have Everything You Need When You Need it - #4546
The strength you need, the provision you need, the grace you need, the answers you need, the help you need, and the encouragement you need - He's going to send what you need on the day you need it and not a day earlier. So when you get all worried and fearful about what's beyond today, you're running ahead of your supply lines. Because you don't have tomorrow's "bread," tomorrow's strength or tomorrow's grace until that day comes. So you're trying to carry tomorrow's burden with today's grace, and you're going to stumble.
