Why don't you surrender completely to your Savior right now and cry out to Him, "Lord, I need a miracle." And you will be a candidate for that eleventh-hour Lord. Surfing is Better Than Sinking - #6721 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/surfing-is-better-than-sinking-6721 2012-10-15T09:47:25-05:00 Remember, your situation is your assignment from God. Do what the great surfers do! Ride on top of this wave; surf on it. Capture it for Christ. Never Box With a Shadow - #6705 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/never-box-with-a-shadow-6705 2012-09-21T10:30:23-05:00 The enemy loves to have us waste our ammunition on each other so we won't get together to fight him. Hello! He's the real enemy. Too Good To Keep - #6281 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/too-good-to-keep-6281 2011-03-11T16:26:28-05:00 Here's my question, "When was the last time that you personally shared what Christ did on the cross with someone who does not know Him?" When was the last time you played a part in changing someone's eternity from hell to heaven? Maybe when you first became a Christian you did. Could it be you've just settled into the comfort zone now? You may be very busy...very busy in Christian work, but you're sitting on the Good News. No Retreat, No Defeat - #6098 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/no-retreat-no-defeat-6098 2010-05-26T12:12:20-05:00 No matter how intense the battle, no matter how weary the warrior, no matter how overwhelming the odds - do not retreat! With the Word of God in your hand, with your brothers and sisters by your side, with the Lord your God fighting for you, it won't be you who retreats - your enemy is going down! The Ultimate Battlefield Tragedy - #6078 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-ultimate-battlefield-tragedy-6078 2010-04-28T14:47:09-05:00 Your brother, your sister - they're not the real enemy. And wrestling with them isn't the real battle. Don't waste any more bullets on one of your own. In the army of God, "friendly fire" is not only the ultimate tragedy, it's an enemy victory. Avoiding Shark Attacks - #6035 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/avoiding-shark-attacks-6035 2010-03-02T11:49:59-05:00 Please, whatever your reasons for isolating yourself, get back to your family, get back to God's fellowship, get back to the church, get back to those you were serving the Lord with. You just can't afford to be swimming out there all by yourself. The sharks of hell love it when they can get you alone. Don't give them that opportunity to strike. Responding to Hostile Fire - #5979 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/responding-to-hostile-fire-5979 2009-12-10T09:07:09-05:00 It's amazing what can happen when hostility is greeted with gentleness, when harshness is greeted with tenderness, when anger is greeted with love and understanding. When someone is shooting at you, you've got an incredible opportunity not to shoot them down, but to show them Jesus. The Biggest Mistake of All - #5977 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-biggest-mistake-of-all-5977 2009-12-08T09:15:17-05:00 I'll tell you, if you know that Jesus has died on the cross to pay for your sin, if you've been "into Jesus" to some extent and you remain unchanged, that is serious business. And even though you're for Jesus and you agree with Jesus, you may be missing Jesus. The only response worthy of the sacrifice He made for us is to fall on our knees and give ourselves completely to the One who gave Himself completely for us. Lion in the Bible: 1 Peter 5:8-9 http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%205:8-9&version=NIV 2009-10-05T16:50:15-05:00 The devil is depicted here as a prowling lion--quietly lurking and waiting to pounce when it spots weak prey. But his attacks can be resisted simply by standing firm in the faith, and remembering that we're not alone in being targeted by his wiles.
