The more you feed on how they’ve wronged you, the more bitter you’re going to become. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/Somebody-s-Got-to-Move-5684 2008-10-24T11:40:06-05:00 Isn't it time to release that bitterness? Hasn't it done enough damage? It isn't hurting the person you're bitter toward. It's hurting you, and probably others you love. Bitterness can only be moved out by something called forgiveness. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Wounded-But-Still-Fighting-4301 2008-08-27T17:01:00-05:00 If you've taken some hits lately - you're hurt, you're knocked down, you're wounded - then the stirring testimony of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4, beginning with verse 7, should be an encouragement and a challenge to you. It's our word for today from the Word of God. It comes from one who has been wounded over and over again, and who refuses to stop fighting for Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/The-Longer-it-Waits-the-Harder-it-Gets-4593 2008-08-26T12:45:06-05:00 Maybe there's a strained relationship in your life right now. Maybe there have been too many sunsets and bad feelings toward someone. It will never be smaller than it is right now. It's probably bigger than it used to be, but this is the smallest it will ever be. This issue will never be easier to address than right now, no matter how hard that might seem to you. It's only going to get harder. It's only going to get more costly, and you'll only turn darker inside. Today is always your best opportunity to go to that person and do whatever it takes to repair things. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=237&topic_name=Forgiveness 2008-08-08T12:24:13-05:00 Nancy and Holly Elliff talk with Yvonne Welch, a mother of four children who was rushed to the hospital because of Acute Chronic Exhaustion. Discover the root cause of her exhaustion, and hear about her only "way of escape"--the Word of God. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Feeding-On-Bitterweed-4036 2008-08-01T16:41:43-05:00 When cows feed on something bitter, they start producing something that's bitter. So do we. That's why God warns us in Hebrews 12:15, our word for today from the Word of God: "See to it that no one misses the grace of God." Now, that's a horrible thought. God's grace is something we cannot afford to miss. How does that happen? It goes on to say "...and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." Don't let any bitterweed - or bitter root - grow up in your heart. If you do, it will ruin the taste of many things in your life. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Cutting-the-Rope-That-Ties-You-Down-5267 2008-07-31T11:39:13-05:00 The irony of bitterness is that it ties us emotionally to the very person we're bitter toward. It's like trying to run full speed in a three-legged race. You can't run like you need to run until you cut the rope that ties you to the person who wronged you. And that can only be done by doing what seems unthinkable - forgiving that person. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=126&topic_name=Forgiveness 2008-03-31T16:45:48-05:00 Nancy guides listeners to forgive, no matter how painful it may be, because God has forgiven us our sins--with great cost to himself. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=94&topic_name=Forgiveness 2008-03-31T16:44:56-05:00 Whether hurful words are said intentionally or in jest, damage can be severe. Nancy talks about how to overcome the curse of words and break free from their power. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=9&topic_name=Forgiveness 2008-03-31T16:42:55-05:00 Discover the key that will set you free from the wounds of your past and enable you to fully release those who have hurt you.
