Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Emptying Your Trash Basket - #8273 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
There’s plenty of junk e-mail–spam, they call it. But sometimes you get a gem in some of the creative stuff that friends forward to you. I got a child’s version of the Lord’s Prayer that both amused and even enlightened me; especially when this little boy got to the part where many Christians pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Except this boy heard it this way: “Forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - What You'd Thought You'd Never Get Rid Of - #8270 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’ve been looking at those marks on our table for so long, I just about forgot they were there. See, our grandchildren had gotten to it and they left their artwork there with markers, and pens, and crayons. Well, not long ago, a friend was helping us with some work at the house, and she decided to use this special sponge on those marks. I think it’s called Miracle Erase. Well, we were stunned at the result! It was like we got a new table. My wife said, “I never thought I’d get rid of those.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Missing What Matters - #8265 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
It took me a while to admit it, but my arms were no longer long enough for me to read what was in my hand. Yeah, in other words, I needed glasses. You see, I’m farsighted. I see what’s far but not what’s close. Spiritually, I–and most of my fellow Christians–have to battle the opposite vision problem.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Simple Secret of Not Getting Sick - #8259 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and it turns out that this secret of staying physically healthy can also help us stay healthy in our relationship with Jesus—frequent washing, getting rid of the dirt we pick up during the day before it makes us sick.

When the Container Lies to You - #5918
Don't fall for those lies on sin's package. Check its real contents, as exposed graphically in the Bible. If you've already opened sin's package, get out while you can. If you're looking at a compromise that God calls sin, run the other way. You haven't got time for the pain, for the scars, for the slavery, for the shame. Do it God's way, even if it's harder, even if it takes longer. Remember, it's the narrow road that leads to life. It's the wide road that leads to destruction

My Child, My Mirror - #2653
There is something about having a child that makes you start thinking about yourself in ways you may not have thought before. They are mirrors to us. As a dad or a mom trying to shape this life we have been entrusted with, knowing the dangers, the challenges, the consequences, we begin to see things we may have never fully seen before - like our own incompleteness or inadequacy, our baggage, our weaknesses that can now do serious damage to this vulnerable life in our hands...

Driving With Your Brake On - #2639
You may be so used to this sinful attitude or mindset or action that it's almost second nature to you - a word that you just kind of accept as describing you. But your fatal flaw is your emergency brake, holding you back from going full speed.

Full Alert - #2634
The threat to you and me is this predator called sin. And you probably know all too well which sin or sins are always crouching at your door, always trying to take over, whether it's anger or lust or worry or selfishness or pride, or some habit or persistent temptation. The call of God is to go on full alert against that sin, stopping its intrusion while it's small, before it is a full-scale sin invasion of your heart and mind.

Guilty - a Christian perspective
Even if we try to follow the entire law, if we break even a bit of it, we are guilty. The law is an all or nothing proposition. Luckily, we are extended grace and mercy by God.
