Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Green Lights and God's Will - #4167
For some folks, when you just say those words "God's will," the fog starts rolling in, they hear mystical music, and their blood pressure goes up. This business of knowing what God's will is seems so hard for so many believers. But, of course, God didn't create a plan for your life to torture you with it. He wants you to know what He wants you to do - but in the way that will keep you closest to Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Pressure, The Pain, And The Prescription - #4851
God sometimes lets the pressure build so we will finally deal with what's really wrong inside us -- the sin we've never taken care of. David went to the Soul Doctor and he came away a man who was forgiven and clean. That could happen to you -- that same liberation -- if you'll finally let go of your pride and go to the Forgiving Place. That's the cross where Jesus loved you so much that He died for all the sins you've ever committed. When He said, "Father, forgive them" from that cross, He was including you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Too Close to the Edge - #4853
Suicide is also the ultimate act of selfishness toward the people who love you. They'll never recover from the awful agony of this decision. Don't do this to them. And suicide is the ultimate waste of the life Jesus gave His life for. He didn't die on that cross just to have you throw away the life He gave everything for. One last thing -- suicide is the ultimate surrender to the devil who hates you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Invisible Victim - #4858
Right now you may be involved in something you know is wrong - it's a compromise, it's rebellion, it's wrong. You say, "Well, it's not hurting anyone." Oh yes, it is. When Jesus' right hand man, Peter, denied him, the Bible says that Peter went out and wept bitterly over it - but only after Jesus, on His way to His trial, turns and looks straight at Peter. And suddenly Peter realized he wasn't just breaking laws. He was breaking his Savior's heart.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Moving to Higher Ground - #4860
Life's floods come in many forms; those major crises or disasters that carry away much of what we had been depending on. An illness maybe or a death can do that, a divorce can do it, a disaster, a broken relationship, the loss of your job. There are many upheavals that come rushing in and they change the landscape forever. And they make you think, maybe for the first time, about where is the best place to build the rest of your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Finding Your Father - #4190
In my lifetime, I've known many people who have come from a very rough background ... sometimes a fatherless background - either because they never knew their father or the one they had never acted like one. I've known people who have come from a background where they never really felt like they belonged - and they still don't. Maybe I've just described you in some way.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stepped On But Still Precious - #4900
When you believe you're not worth much, you're insulting the One who designed you. From the moment the egg and the sperm came together to start your life, you have been God's unique creation. If you don't believe it, look at your fingerprints. There's no one else like you.
But most importantly, you are infinitely valuable because God paid for you with the life of His Son!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Burdens That Could Crush You - #4904
If you belong to Jesus Christ, you have a God who does for you what that driver did for those horses. He holds back the load you could not bear. Now you may be carrying a very heavy load right now - and you may even be wondering about the accuracy of what I said. Be assured that He knows how much weight will make you stronger - and He'll allow that much in your life. But He also knows when it's weight that would crush you - and that's when He puts on the brakes.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Totaled at Christmas - #4936
If you're damaged; if you're down this season, in a way Christmas is actually very much for you. Behind the amazing events at that manger in Bethlehem is the mission for which Jesus came.
