Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Fireworks Faith - #3983
And, to be sure, God does some very impressive things sometimes. He is an amazing God. But He's never meant for us to make the fireworks the foundation of our Christian life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Freedom Line - #3994
Not all slaves wear chains or are sold on an auction block. Some of us who have been physically free our whole lives have never really been free on the inside. From the guilt over those mistakes in our past. From the shame over what we've been, what we've done. Some of us know what it is to be slaves to our dark side, to our anger, our selfishness, to habits and patterns we seem powerless to break.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Difference Between Bitter and Sweet - #5413
I guess, in a way, I'm that plum. You're that plum. We've got parts of our personality, our ways of treating people, our ways of responding to stress that are actually pretty sweet and then there are those parts that are bitter for us and certainly bitter for the people close to us. Once you open your life to Jesus Christ, you have divine power available to help change those harsh, distasteful parts of you into something beautiful.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Reasons to Quit; Finishing the Race - #5414
Your "race" is any track that God has set you on in your life. And you may have started well, but now it's gotten really hard. There are more and more reasons to quit. But in the words of Galatians 6:9, God is saying, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Unloseable - #5415
Jesus is the unloseable person we have looked for all our lives. Actually, we're built to belong to our Creator. If it weren't for Jesus, though, we'd never even have that possibility because there's a gap between us and God called sin. It's basically the self-rule of our lives. So the God that we're built by and for is out of our reach until the sin bill is paid.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How Your Fire Can Produce New Life - #5419
It's usually been when God's turned up the heat on me that He's finally gotten my attention and forced me to face some things that I needed to change but I didn't want to deal with. When I did, it began new life - a new season of spiritual refreshing and seeing Him take my life to a new level.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Closing the Door on Your Past - #5436
What an awesome possibility! The blotting out of every sin of your past! No religion can do that for you because no religion can pay the spiritual death penalty for your sin. It took nothing less than the brutal death of Jesus Christ on the cross for you. You did the sinning but Jesus did the dying so He could build a wall between you and the darkness of your past and move you into a life that revolves around Him - a forgiven life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Missing the Turn that Saves Your Life - #5455
You may know a lot about a lot of things, but there's nothing more important in all the world than to understand the turn that will keep you from God's punishment and take you to God's heaven.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Christian Camouflage - #5456
You call it conviction, God calls it stubbornness; you call it compassion, God calls it compromise; you call it love, God calls it immorality or adultery. Isn't it time you looked in the mirror and saw the hypocrite behind the beautiful words? There's freedom, there's forgiveness and there's integrity waiting for you at the cross of Jesus Christ, where you need to bring all the sin that's been hiding behind that spirituality.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Changing Hands - #5464
As we approach this Christmas, look at what God gave because He loves you so much. He sacrificed His only Son to pay the death penalty for the sinning you did. That should remove any doubt of whether you can trust Him with the things that matter most to you. Anyone who loved you enough to die for you will never do you wrong.
