You don't have to say, "Lord, if it is Your will." It is His will. "Lord, open a door." "Lord, open their heart." "Lord, open my mouth." When you ask God for open doors, then open your eyes to look for them. They'll be there, all over the place, because God really wants you to tell the people you know about His Son. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/watching-him-drown-6465 2011-10-21T17:08:39-05:00 I know that Jesus jumped in to rescue me at the cost of His life. How can I, then, stay on the shore any longer and watch people I know slip away without Him; without a chance to live forever? And I am their chance. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/escaping-the-flood-or-not-6435 2011-09-09T09:32:38-05:00 It's eternally important that you answer the door and let Jesus save you. The Bible cries out, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart" (Hebrews 4:7 ). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/how-a-girl-becomes-a-princess-6429 2011-09-01T09:20:32-05:00 God says when we open up our life to Jesus as our only hope, we get born into His family. This birthday could be today for you; the day you are born into God's family. There ought to be a time you can know for sure that you have begun a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-recorder-is-always-running-6404 2011-08-08T11:51:41-05:00 Today God stands ready to forgive and remove every sin you've ever committed in your life. To in His words, "...bury it in the depths of the sea." It's a wonderful, wonderful way to live. Today could be your day to be forgiven, and that happens when you go to Jesus and say, "Jesus, what You died for, I want. I believe You died for my sinning, and I am Yours." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/hugging-the-furniture-6320 2011-04-04T10:18:18-05:00 Maybe it's time for an inventory. You know we need one regularly. Could it be that I'm limiting God by my love for something that is earth stuff? Something I'm not willing to relinquish? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/fighting-for-lives-when-the-shots-rang-out-6296 2011-03-11T16:06:30-05:00 There is a life-saving emergency right in front of each of us who knows Jesus. We can't wait for a "rescue professional" to get there. If you're with a person in danger of dying, you're responsible. If anything stops us it will be fear. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/intimate-bonding-6271 2011-01-24T09:25:56-05:00 Have you played with God's bonding gift of sex? Well, confess that to Him. Let Him cleanse you as 1 John 1:9 promises He will, that "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us all our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Make it right. Reserve it for one relationship, and then use it unselfishly. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-gift-you-don-t-want-to-ruin-6248 2010-12-22T10:49:20-05:00 God wants to make you clean, wants to make you new, and He wants you to have His very best. When you give Him your life, you get love without strings and you get love without regrets. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/afraid-of-god-6228 2010-11-30T09:38:55-05:00 All of God's anger against human sin was taken by Jesus on the cross. But Jesus didn't stay dead. He blasted out of His grave and proved that He can deliver the eternal life He promised. You can tell how much God loves you by how much He spent on you. He spent His Son for you.
