Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Your Best Weapon is Your Teeth - #4427
Our word for today from the Word of God comes from {bible}Nehemiah 2:1{bible}. Now, Nehemiah works for the king (he's the king's cup bearer), and he's pretty down because of news he's gotten about conditions back home. The Bible says, "I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before. So the king asked me, 'Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.'"

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Grandeur of an Old Faithful - #4368
Our grandson says he wants an Old Faithful of his own. So does God. He's looking for some "old faithfuls" He can count on. The Bible makes it clear that a lot of the things we do don't really impress God much, if at all. But there is one trait that gets His attention and triggers His blessing - faithfulness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Looking Backwards - #4113
Unfortunately, a lot of people live their lives like the people on that roller coaster - always looking backwards, looking at where they've already been instead of where they're going. And that pretty much guarantees that your life is going to be a roller coaster ride!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - As Long As You're Following - #4012
Following is exactly what Jesus has commanded those of us who belong to Him to do. His often-repeated command is, "Follow Me." To the extent that we are following the One who's supposed to be in front of us, the happier we are. To the extent we're unhitched and off on our own, we're not very happy. Things work as long as we're following.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Great Lighthouse Shortage - #4016
It seems to me that Jesus intended for every church to be a lighthouse, whether or not they have a lighted tower as part of their building. And He intended for every Christian to be a lighthouse, every ministry. Tragically, with so many lives around us headed for disaster, there is a terrible lighthouse shortage.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Missing Those You Love - #4021
I guess that's just the way it is when you're enjoying a special place - you want the people you care about to be there, sharing it with you. That must include the most special place of all - heaven.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Rewinding Your Fall - #4023
Our grandson is definitely a child of the VCR Age – when he has a bad fall, he wants to rewind to before the fall. Well, so do some of us. We’ve had some falls – spiritually, morally – and we wish we could rewind and do it over. Obviously, we can’t. But, in a way, God does offer us an opportunity to rewind our falls to get back to where we were before we fell.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Looking Great, Having Little - #4026
Now, sadly, there are a lot of lives that are like that man's description of his town. There really isn't much there, but they sure do look pretty; especially all dressed up for church, turning on the charm, making a great impression, or saying and doing all the right Christian things. But, as God reminds us in 1 Samuel 16:7, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." And there's many an empty heart hiding behind an impressive exterior.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Summoned to the Source - #4067
Now, when Jesus sent that "meet Me in Galilee" message to them, they were in Jerusalem, some 90 miles from Galilee. So, why Galilee? That's where they had first met Jesus, where they were called into His service, where they first experienced His love, His power, and His miracles. So Jesus is summoning them back to where it all began - so they can experience Him as they have never experienced Him before.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Great Gerbil Race - #3842
Problem here. There are way too many of us who are two-legged gerbils. Watching that gerbil wearing himself out on a wheel is just too much of a mirror of how a lot of us live. We're running really hard in pursuit of the great obsession - more! More possessions, more toys, more money, more position, more recognition, more power. But our lives are increasingly spinning out of control, just like that gerbil wheel.
