It actually infects the spiritual lives of a lot of us because well, we’re addicted to spiritual sugar. Too many of us are event Christians; ... http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Flash-Gordon-Rescues-5647 2008-09-12T14:58:29-05:00 Remember, Jesus is your Savior, and Savior means Rescuer. He's already accomplished the toughest rescue of all. He rescued you from the clutches of sin and hell. Surely, after that, He can save you from this comparatively small crisis. He will change the situation or He will enlarge you to deal with it, but He will always rescue you! He always has. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Battle-over-The-Precious-4448 2008-08-28T16:44:26-05:00 The ring in Lord of the Rings is fantasy. The battle over "The Precious" is not. Because we all have something or someone in our life that is, for us, "The Precious." We can't let go of it. And like the ring in Tolkien's stories, the longer and more tightly we hold onto it, the more it slowly destroys us. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/The-No-Regrets-Alarm-4535 2008-08-28T16:18:49-05:00 Now the day you put your trust in Jesus as Savior, God planted in your soul a sin alarm. Somebody planted a gluttony alarm in our refrigerator. There's this noise that makes you stop and think before you reach for something. It's annoying, but that pig can keep you from doing something you will regret later - like tomorrow on the scale! Now we need some noise inside of us when we are about to reach for something that we are going to later regret. And God delivers us from evil if we will listen to the inner alarms He triggers when we are about to sin. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Open-Window-4313 2008-08-27T16:52:41-05:00 That's one reason God gives us some very practical advice to avoid getting stuff you don't really want in your life. It's brief, it's to the point, and it's our word for today from the Word of God. Ephesians 4:27 says, "Do not give the devil a foothold." Or we might say, don't leave any window open that the devil could use to get in. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/The-Smell-You-Should-Never-Get-Used-To-4335 2008-08-27T16:35:58-05:00 Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Ezekiel 9:2, and it describes a kind of person God was looking for back then -- and the kind of person He is looking for right now, where you are. God is showing His prophet Ezekiel how repulsive the sin of God's ancient people is to Him and how He intends to bring judgment and clean house. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Nothing-to-Hide-4360 2008-08-27T16:08:11-05:00 Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Romans 13 beginning at verse 12, and it encourages us to live with those three words as our life motto. Nothing to hide. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/The-Royal-Switch-4382 2008-08-27T15:40:21-05:00 Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. It says, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Always-There-To-Catch-You-4385 2008-08-27T15:38:21-05:00 That man going over the edge, arms flailing, out of control - that could be a picture of David's condition in our word for today from the Word of God. It's in Psalm 94 beginning at verse 17. In fact, it could be a picture of your condition right now. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/When-the-Container-Lies-to-You-4201 2008-08-25T13:05:11-05:00 The container promised me one thing - but what was inside was very different. That's an experience every one of us has had - when we reached for something based on what it was supposed to give us, only to be disappointed when we found out what was really inside. That deception is, in fact, the very nature of sin, and it's why we end up with scars and messes we never knew were going to be a part of.
