You can't just let the old missions satisfy you. You need some new experiences with Jesus. You need to be part of some new exploits for the King, places where you experience Christ's lordship in things that matter to you now. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/out-of-service-6601 2012-04-30T09:50:25-05:00 Maybe 70 or 80 years is all we've got to make our mark for eternity. Please! There's too much to do; there's too few to do it. We need the seasoned leaders. Yeah, they're tired, but you've got experience. We need you. Don't hang out an "Out of Service" sign. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/why-the-coach-schedules-triple-sessions-6533 2012-01-26T14:20:05-05:00 Stay in the ring. You're building experience and that's what gives hope in suffering. There's no way to develop this kind of strength, this kind of toughness, this kind of durability without suffering first. If the coach has scheduled a triple session for you right now, don't despair. Don't give up. Don't quit. Don't leave practice. Let suffering develop patience, let patience develop experience, let experience develop hope. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/what-to-do-when-there-s-a-power-failure-6377 2011-06-21T10:28:59-05:00 When the power failed for everyone else in Washington D.C. that day, it didn't stop us. We were depending on another power source. And that's where you are right now. Your power will fail before you can get through what lies ahead. But the generator of the Holy Spirit will just keep on running, and that power is enough! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/hungry-for-something-more-6240 2010-12-10T13:28:58-05:00 Every time we're in His book, every time we're in a Christian meeting, we should go with this prayer in our heart, "Jesus, help me come away with more of You!" And then, we need to be mining each day for every possible opportunity to have an impact on somebody's else's life for Him. http://internetevangelismday.com/tellyourstory.php 2010-08-14T07:20:06-05:00 Do you share your faith online in any way? Did you find God through the Web? Have people joined your fellowship because of your church website? Personal stories are the ideal commendation for the Web as an outreach medium. We want to hear your story. It can bless others, and encourage them to also see the potential of the Internet. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/when-the-goal-is-beyond-your-reach-6134 2010-07-23T15:48:25-05:00 Jesus was beckoning Peter to do something he had never done so he could experience something he had never experienced, just like I was doing with my little granddaughter. And that day Peter decided to take an even riskier step. He left the only life he knew, as a fisherman, and chose to follow Jesus wherever He took him, which was to give to his life a spiritual significance he could have never imagined. But he had to move beyond what was safe, and so do you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/sunsets-in-the-puddles-6131 2010-07-23T15:23:05-05:00 How you handle what you don't like is the difference between peace and frustration, between contentment and anger, and between joy and discouragement. It's all about what you dwell on, not what you're going through. If you dwell on what's beautiful, if you dwell on what God is doing, or how you can lift up other people, you could be unsinkable no matter how many icebergs there are. For as one man said, "To those who look for providences, there will always be a providence to see." Choose joy! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/deeply-personal-5856 2009-09-10T14:29:32-05:00 "For me. What He did there is to pay for every sin I've ever committed, for every wrong thing I've ever done." It's at that point that you realize Jesus is your only hope of being clean, being forgiven, of ever having a relationship with God, your only hope of going to heaven someday. And you surrender yourself to this Son of God who gave His life for you. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/A-Thousand-Teachers-3823 2008-07-30T16:41:56-05:00 Now looking at everyone you meet as someone from whom you learn something, that's an outlook that can make you a millionaire - spiritually, intellectually, emotionally. Our word for today from the Word of God actually defines major differences between a wise person and foolish person.
