Who didn't just risk His life for you and me; He gave His life. And He stands ready to rescue you from a spiritual death penalty you can't escape any other way. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/radiation-rescuers-6410 2011-08-08T12:01:29-05:00 Our word for today from the word of God - Proverbs 24:11 - commands us to "rescue those being led away to death." Jude 23 from the New Testament: "snatch others from the fire and save them." Those are life-or-death images. Which give all those who belong to the Rescuer a life-saving responsibility. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/staying-in-mint-condition-6405 2011-08-08T11:52:15-05:00 Let's not be afraid to preach a separated life. Let's not be afraid to live a life that's separated from any kind of sinful lifestyle. But let's always present it as God does. It's a positive, not a negative. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/tsunami-heroes-6401 2011-08-08T11:48:02-05:00 The tsunami of death and judgment is coming. The warning has been sounded. The lives of the people around you depend on someone leading them to the high ground of Jesus' cross. You are their chance, and you're a candidate to be one of Heaven's heroes. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/two-legged-bait-6367 2011-06-13T13:25:32-05:00 What changes do your friends and family see in you that would make them want to have an explanation for those changes? That's how you draw men and women to Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-king-s-speech-6366 2011-06-13T13:15:53-05:00 You know, so often I have failed to deliver the message of Jesus because I was afraid of what might happen to me if I told them. But isn't the greater fear what will happen to them if I don't tell them? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/where-you-were-born-to-be-6174 2010-09-09T09:34:44-05:00 Follow God where He's taking you. The alternative - a future filled with the bitter regrets of someone who knows they've missed what they were put here for. Don't settle for anything less than being where you were born to be, and doing what you were born to do. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2013:6&version=NIV 2009-09-04T09:45:12-05:00 With an almighty God helping us, there is nothing to fear from anything, whether it's a human or a spiritual threat. This verse encourages us not to be intimidated by human schemes or threats, since we are supported by God's power. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2056:3-4&version=NIV 2009-07-23T12:08:54-05:00 Where do we turn when we're afraid? To the one person who can protect us from anything the world throws at us: God. Whenever you're afraid or intimidated, look to God for comfort and help. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa.41.10&version=NIV 2009-07-16T09:34:46-05:00 A recurring message throughout the entire Bible is that God's people do not need to be afraid of anything, because He is ultimately in control of all things. Whether it's a minor life setback or a seriously frightening situation, Christians are called to face it without undue fear, trusting in God.
