After all, Jesus' smile expressed through the inner peace He gives you, is the only feedback that really matters. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/more-than-shamrocks-6626 2012-06-04T09:58:07-05:00 St. Patrick was biographically credentialed to tell the Irish about Jesus. His life had apparently been crafted by God to make him a man who understood them, who they would listen to because of what he had experienced. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/leave-the-choice-to-the-owner-6624 2012-05-31T13:08:35-05:00 When we use sex outside the boundaries of marriage, we start a chain reaction of guilt, loss of respect, loss of intimacy, future relationships, and ugly choices. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/follow-that-voice-6448 2011-09-28T09:54:58-05:00 "Jesus went to a solitary place at daybreak." And we know that there's where He got in touch with His Father. He got in touch with the tower to sort out His priorities for the day. That's where you have to go daily. You have to go there early, and you have to go there alone and let God lay on your heart His "musts." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/how-to-flunk-out-on-god-s-will-6358 2011-05-31T10:43:32-05:00 You know what God's will is? It's the natural next step taken by a Christian who's been following Jesus one day at a time. So you begin each day and you say something like this, "Lord, show me Your will for this 24 hours. In all my ways, in all my days - today in this 24 hours, what do You want me to do today? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/how-to-break-a-log-jam-6300 2011-03-09T15:13:01-05:00 You have a powerful weapon to break the log jam - fervent, consistent prayer that God will do what only God can do - change that person's heart like He did Saul's. It's a weapon right within our reach...that prayer is. But it's one we so often fail to use. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/driving-hard-on-a-dead-end-road-6237 2010-12-09T12:00:34-05:00 Within your reach is the Jesus-road; the one that leads to life! He's waiting to welcome you, forgive you and then lead you onto the road you were made to be on! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/how-to-save-your-child-6235 2010-12-03T09:08:07-05:00 When we hold onto our child, we create a rebel or a robot. When we release our child to the God who gave that child to us, we cooperate with the great plan for which our child was created. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/your-feet-in-two-canoes-6163 2010-08-25T10:17:24-05:00 Aren't you tired of being torn apart inside, trying to choose between your two masters; trying to live with your feet in two canoes? They continue to drift in opposite directions, and so do you. God has some straight talk to you, right from His Word in Joshua 24:15 , "Choose...this day whom you will serve." "Choose!" He said. And choose is what you're going to have to do. Choose the One who loves you most. Choose the One you'll be with forever. Choose Jesus. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=6&chapter=24&verse=15&version=31&context=verse 2009-08-05T10:36:25-05:00 Joshua presents the Israelites with a critical choice: serve God, or serve the false gods of their ancestors. He publicly states his decision to follow God.
