We say, "Well, that's just my entertainment." No! No, it's an important part of who you are. So important you won't let Jesus touch it. 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://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/life-s-most-expensive-if-only-s-6313 2011-03-30T16:37:22-05:00 Each day is filled with opportunities to listen, to hug, to debrief, to teach, and they'll never come again. It's true in marriage, too. Days without being close become weeks, and months, and years. And one day you wish you could have those days back. They're gone forever. The Bible says, "Make the most of every opportunity." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/no-discount-disciples-6218 2010-11-29T11:05:53-05:00 Those who experience Jesus most deeply, most sweetly, are those who walk the way of the cross with Him. Don't be afraid to make the choices for Him that may cost you something. That's what taking up a cross means - expensive choices.
