They'll follow you there. If you drift into selfishness, or carelessness about what you look at or listen to. If you drift into gossip, discouragement, compromise, it won't be just you going there. You're affecting other people's course every day. Don't lead them toward the rocks. You've got to hold your position. You're the light! http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9906 2010-08-25T15:51:31-05:00 Embrace the attitude of gratitude and discover that the world looks different through the eyes of thankfulness. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/your-lingering-aroma-3342 2009-09-22T14:09:53-05:00 It could even be that your positive actions are actually cancelled out by the stinky atmosphere you bring - the stress, the insensitivity, and the criticism you create while you're doing all those good things. You can be doing great stuff and have a lousy attitude and drag people down. What people are supposed to experience by being around you is "the fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/how-satan-sets-you-up-5766 2009-09-09T17:05:24-05:00 The setup shot of feeling "entitled" is subtle. It's expressed in feelings like these, "I deserve it after all I've done" or "after all I've been through." Or "I need it. I'm entitled to look after my needs for awhile." Or "Others are. Why can't I?" If you're entertaining feelings like those, listen to the alarms going off today. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-most-off-key-chorus-of-all-5718 2009-09-09T14:01:59-05:00 He wants to help you and me handle the moments when we just want to think about ourselves. It's at those times when I'm really tired, when I'm really stressed, when I'm really not feeling good, that I have to reach beyond my feelings and say, "Dear Lord, give me the grace to still think about others when I feel like just thinking about me." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/playing-with-all-your-heart-5694 2009-09-09T10:54:55-05:00 When you work, you focus - you do it with all your heart. When it's time to pray, you pray with all your heart. You play with all your heart. You study with all your heart. You help out with all your heart. That's the attitude of someone who knows that ultimately he or she is living a God-planned life. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%202:5-7&version=NIV 2009-07-28T11:03:02-05:00 If Christians are to imitate Christ's actions, it makes sense that we would also want to imitate his mindset and worldview to the extent we can. His attitude was always shaped by a desire to serve others, even to the point of giving up his throne in heaven to die on earth. That's the attitude we're to model in our lives. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/happy-germs-8212 2009-02-24T12:38:32-05:00 Don't you just love it when one of your coworkers comes in coughing and sneezing all over? Thank you for sharing, pal! There’s recent research that there are some happy germs that people spread around, too. One article said: "We can catch happiness from friends and family members like an emotional virus. The research shows that every happy person in your social network increases your own chance of cheer by 9% and those effects can last up to one year. When someone gets happy, that person's friend experiences a 25% increased chance of becoming happy, and at least two more friends will be affected—happy germs!
