The Fog Cannot Win - #6030
The evil may have its hour of filling your horizon, but the Son's going to win! The grief will not last forever. Your prodigal will one day be carried home on the shoulders of the Good Shepherd. The doubts you're having in the darkness can't change what you heard from God when it was light. The answers you need will break through your confusion and struggle. The sadness of the fog is going to succumb to the joy of God's much more powerful sunlight.

The Last Monster In The Dark - #2500
Death, that last monster in the dark pursues us throughout our life, and we know it will ultimately catch us. But you don't ever need to fear that moment again - if you have your hand in the hand of Jesus, the One who has beaten that monster once and for all.

Sting - a Christian perspective
Death has lost its "sting"--its power--because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Death, physical or spiritual, is no longer a threat to Christians, or anything to be afraid of.

Victor in the Bible - a Christian perspective
What is the victory that Christians experience? The ultimate victory: over death itself. Sin and death no longer have any control over us once we have accepted Jesus.

The Sweet Celebration of the Loyal Fans - #5805
God seems silent and things seem to being getting worse instead of better. Your hopes were just sealed in a tomb. Now is the moment of truth in your relationship with the man who gave His life for you. He did not abandon you when it meant the cross. Are you going to abandon Him? It's Mary Magdalene time: time to stand by Jesus, to stand firm in your commitment to Him, even when it feels like there's no reason to.

Victory in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 15:56-58
Jesus offers us something we can never achieve on our own: victory over sin and death, two facts of human life that we could never overcome on our own. Work done in the service of Christ is never pointless, because we know that God's work will never be undone by sin or death.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When Less is More - #5678
God prepares for a great victory by cutting things back. God prepares for a great harvest by cutting things back. In the strange and wonderful ways of God, less is often more. That might be an equation you need to hear right now, because it sure does feel as if God is cutting you back. You're feeling the pain, the loss, and the confusion of a child of God who is being pruned. But not necessarily because something is wrong with you; maybe because something is very right.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Trouble With Trophies - #8076
How many times have we played our hearts out for a prize that ended up breaking in our hands? That position, the championship, the relationship, the vacation, the thing we always wanted, the dream come true only to find it was so fragile. It was actually pretty disappointing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Payoff for the Pain - #3867
But right now you're in practice, and you don't feel very victorious. It hurts. You're under a lot of pressure; you're trying to do what's right but it doesn't seem to be working. And maybe God has trusted you with the assignment to show His joy and His love in the midst of physical suffering. Or perhaps you're paying a price for the stand you're taking. It's tempting to compromise, to back off, maybe to give in to despair, or even to quit.
