A Christian draws his joy, not from what's going on around him, but who Jesus is going on inside him. Nehemiah said, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-knife-that-gives-life-6704 2012-09-20T09:15:29-05:00 God loves you enough to bring out your very best, so right now He may be removing some branches so you can be more alive than ever. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/not-so-secret-service-6674 2012-08-13T09:54:37-05:00 If we selfishly, carelessly drift from Jesus, we pull others with us, risking their destruction. Forever. Off duty? As the face of Jesus to people whose eternity depends on believing in Him? God, help me to always - always - leave the light on for them. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/a-piece-of-the-price-6612 2012-05-15T10:27:06-05:00 We just can't be content with going to our Christian meetings, giving our little offerings, holding some office, singing our songs, and serving on our committees. This is a costly faith; it's an expensive faith; one for which God's Son gave His life. What are you and I giving? We all have to sacrifice some of our earth loves to reach the people that Christ gave His entire life for. http://truewoman.com/?id=1093 2010-09-08T12:23:00-05:00 “Even though I’m in the 'Terrible Two’s' phase of this whole thing—the phase where I whine and complain and bark out all kinds of untrue Me Me Me commands when I don’t get my way, I can already see the Holy Spirit at work." http://truewoman.com/?id=1134 2010-09-08T11:38:16-05:00 Pop culture upholds a saucy, sassy, my-way-or-the-highway, karate-chopping, male-kicking attitude as the ideal for women. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-danger-of-a-drifting-light-6168 2010-09-01T10:25:50-05:00 For the sake of the people who are watching your light, you can't afford to drift into negativity, or criticism, or cynicism, or some rebellious attitude. 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.
