Thousands came to Christ on this Day of Pentecost; the day that each one heard them speaking in his own language. Would you ask God to show you today how to speak the language of the people around you; to reach them with the words, the music, the issues, and the testimony that they will understand? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/hells-highest-compliment-6971 2013-09-30T09:36:32-05:00 When you're making a difference for Jesus, you're on the Devil's list, and honestly I hope you're on it. Making that list is hell's highest compliment. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/just-go-6759 2012-12-06T11:58:44-05:00 Be sure it's His voice and then do it! What happened when Philip did? He found a prepared heart and a mission that made a transforming difference, and you will too. But first, you have to lay aside the caution and the rigidity that only goes when all the answers are there. After all, what is living by faith? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-need-to-need-what-you-know-3487 2009-09-21T15:57:48-05:00 Get out on a limb, out of your comfort zone, risking for your Lord, serving your Lord - so you can get beyond yourself, where you will have to reach out desperately for truths that you have known for years. You'll meet Jesus there in a way you can't meet Him anywhere else. You need to need what you know - and following Jesus into the great adventure He's summoning you to will put you right in the middle of all His power! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/crossing-the-pipeline-2784 2009-09-18T14:14:05-05:00 Now that Jesus is asking you to step beyond your comfort zone into a bold and beautiful place you can only get to one way, by crossing the pipeline. You've gone as far as you can go safely. Don't miss what's on the other side. If you'll look on the other side, that's Jesus beckoning to you to come follow Him. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Everything-You-Need-For-The-Trip-4320 2008-08-27T16:47:26-05:00 You know, the outfitter makes the difference -- on the river ... in your life. And if you belong to Jesus, you have no one less than the God of the universe as your Outfitter! He knows what's ahead on the river you're navigating. He knows everything you'll need to make it, and He's making sure you have what you need. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Going-Where-You-ve-Never-Gone-Seeing-What-You-ve-Never-Seen-4091 2008-08-01T15:07:27-05:00 My friend actually had to move out of where he felt comfortable to experience some exciting things he'd never experienced before. So do you and I. That is, in fact, a fundamental principle of getting all our Lord Jesus wants us to experience. And maybe it's important we talk about that today - because someone who's listening may be stuck in their comfort zone, missing some scary but exciting things that God wants you to see. http://directorsteve.wordpress.com/2008/01/07/turtle-on-a-fencepost/ 2008-01-14T12:03:57-05:00 Missionaries are like turtles on a fence post. You know they didn't get their by themselves, they are outside their comfort zone and they aren't going anywhere until someone helps.
