Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Path to Heaven - #8160
This missionary was lost in a dense jungle, and he came upon a village in the middle of all these trees, and he asked a resident to lead him out. The villager said, “Okay.” Well, they walked for about an hour, and the villager walked ahead of him chopping his way through the foliage with a machete. Eventually, the missionary said, “Are you sure we’re going the right way? Isn’t there a path somewhere?” The villager smiled and he just said, “Friend, I am the path.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No One to Welcome
It's a pretty sad feeling when you prepare a big welcome and the one you did it for never comes. You've gone through so much to make it perfect just for them. ... Jesus knows that feeling. He's prepared a welcome home, an expensive welcome, for some people who have never come.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - In Search of the Anchor
People everywhere are searching for something to fill a void in their lives. They are searching for something to count on that will provide an anchor in an increasingly uncertain and unpredictable world. ... An author named Faith Popcorn writes, "The search for life's anchor is a must for filling the void that so many are feeling. We're looking for ourselves, our lost souls. A relationship with the Divine may be the ultimate expression of anchoring."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Bridges to Nowhere
In our age of pluralism, tolerance, and eclectic spirituality, those are pretty loaded words about Jesus. We must be saved by His Name. We have the Protestant bridge to God—with good works that are supposed to take us to God—, the Catholic bridge—with good Catholic things to do—, the Jewish bridge, the Muslim bridge, the Buddhist bridge, the Hindu Bridge, and the bridge of New Age Spirituality. Our human nature wants to believe that all those bridges end up the same place with God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The One You Can Trust
So many people's objections to Jesus are due to the way Christians have acted. Another objection is people saying that the church is only after money. ... There definitely are inconsistencies in Christianity, but the good thing is that there are not inconsistencies in Jesus. The sinfulness of humans, who might also be Christians, is not a reason to deny the Son of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Everything but Jesus
Are you missing something in your life? God will ask some of us as He looks at our lives, "Where's Jesus?" Spiritually, maybe you have everything except Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One "Unloseable" Hope
It's hard to think of a more devastating feeling than losing what you had put all your hope in. It's a feeling you may know if you've lost your health, the love of your life, your job, an anchor person in your life, the thing you've invested so much in, or the person that's been the glue sort of holding your life together. Many have been told by their marriage partner of decades, "I don't love you anymore" and are left to feel crushed inside.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Pounding on a Locked Door
Real people today are locked out of heaven—people like your neighbors, co-workers, or maybe you. People think they have everything figured out, but somehow they are missing a true personal relationship with the Savior.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Reaching Through the Flames
That day, firefighter Kevin Shea landed on a pile of office room dividers, which broke his fall as well as his left knee and foot. In the fall, he lost his helmet and his face mask. The flames were coming his way. Later he said, “Rocks and cinders were falling everywhere, and I thought this is it, and I prayed to God just to take me quick.” Lieutenant Joe Ward lowered himself right into that fiery crater, and by the glow of the flames, he found Kevin Shea. He reached out a hand to rescue him, and hoisted him to safety. Someone came to where he was, faced the fire, and brought him back.
