It was an offer I could not resist. For so many, including me, our lifetime search ended at the feet of Jesus Christ, and that's where it will end for you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/girls-come-with-instructions-6595 2012-04-23T10:00:24-05:00 Men and women? Well, they're always going to be a mystery to each other, but we've made it much more confusing than it needs to be. Start looking for sisters to build up, not lovers to conquer; people to minister to. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/every-sister-needs-a-brother-6539 2012-02-02T10:18:25-05:00 Women, remember the kind of bait you offer determines the kind of catch you get. Act like you want brothers. Act like you want guys who will be friends, not users; not conquerors. And men, cultivate sisters; a level of sharing and caring that the sexual conquerors will never even get close to. Treat her like family. She's your sister, man! And every sister needs a brother. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/two-goats-and-good-friday-6426 2011-08-29T10:02:48-05:00 you're being nudged in the direction of the God who made you today, so you can experience the love that your life depends on. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-short-trip-from-fit-to-fat-6418 2011-08-17T11:05:19-05:00 You know there is no such thing as a spiritual day off. King David took one and he paid for it the rest of his life. See, you step into spiritual adulthood the day you commit yourself to the daily discipline of life in Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/prove-it-before-you-promote-it-6362 2011-05-31T10:39:17-05:00 Let's not be in too big a hurry to push one of God's vehicles out onto the Interstate. We all need to be tested first on God's proving ground. Rushing to leadership...that's man's way of doing it—it's not God's. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/playing-favorites-playing-fair-6275 2011-01-28T09:14:23-05:00 People will measure your fairness and they'll measure your favoritism after you act. We should measure it before we act. What's the ripple effect going to be? How will this be perceived in terms of its justice - its fairness? How will this make everyone else feel beside the person I'm deciding for right now? In Godly governing, there's just no room for playing favorites, because God doesn't. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-only-way-to-land-safely-6147 2010-08-12T10:42:51-05:00 That cross isn't just history or religion. It's personal. It's deeply personal. It represents the total sacrifice of Jesus on your behalf. And it is the place where you can leave every wrong thing you've ever done and have it completely forgiven by God; erased from God's records so you'll never meet those sins on Judgment Day. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/always-beyond-your-reach-6114 2010-06-18T10:42:28-05:00 Celebrate everything you do have. Focus on all the good things your Father has done for you, and let Him turn praise for Him into blessed contentment for you. Because this stubborn push to always get what we don't have - well, it's for babies. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-most-important-question-about-the-road-you-re-on-6043 2010-03-10T10:36:08-05:00 The only way to get to heaven is to be totally depending on Jesus Christ to get you there. It means abandoning all other hopes of getting to God and to heaven and fully trusting the one way God provided - Jesus, His one and only Son. If you've never reached out to Him and given yourself to Him, you're in grave spiritual danger, no matter how sincere you may be in whatever else you're depending on.
