Be the one who stays with a responsibility even while others come and go; the one who works, whether they feel like it or not; someone who does whatever he does with all his heart; the person who keeps their commitments and keeps their word. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/frequent-flyer-benefits-6582 2012-04-03T10:00:22-05:00 The greatest benefits go to those who stay with Jesus, no matter what. He has some wonderful blessings, some unspeakable joy, and some tremendous rewards for you if you'll stay faithful for a few more miles. In the words of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/fireproof-faithfulness-6360 2011-05-31T10:41:15-05:00 Jesus says, "I want to put in your life...In fact, I want to make you a faithful fountain and we'll be able to handle any fire, any storm, any hurt, any disappointment. Oh, you'll still be able to perform even with the fire closing in around you because of two words." He says, "I will put the source in him...that's inside of you." That's opposed to just being something around you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/it-really-is-how-you-play-the-game-6072 2010-04-20T14:42:32-05:00 Hold your head high, no matter what position you play. Don't let that discouragement wear you down any more - not if you're giving it all you've got. If you are, then in God's eyes, the only opinion that ultimately matters you are a champion. Earth may not have many rewards for you. But God's gold medal will one day hang around your neck! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2032:4&version=NIV 2009-10-06T16:45:19-05:00 This verse proclaims that in all things, God is just. He is faithful in His righteousness. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2016:10&version=NIV 2009-10-01T23:23:30-05:00 It doesn't matter how much or how little you've been given by God--what matters is how you use the resources and blessings He's given you. If you're faithful with a small amount, God will trust you with even greater blessings. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/combat-medals-2485 2009-09-25T14:10:48-05:00 The important thing to remember is who you are doing these things for, who is the commanding officer? It is the Lord Christ you are serving! Not the church, the organization, the human leader, even the people you are trying to help. They may or may not give you the appreciation you deserve, but do it for Jesus. He will never let you down. The service awards are coming! Work with all your heart for General Jesus and prepare yourself for a lot of exciting, eternal surprises the day Christ gives His awards. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt%2025:21&version=NIV 2009-09-25T09:57:52-05:00 God cares about how we handle the gifts and resources He gives us. Even those of us who are given just a small bit of talent are expected to use it well--and when God sees that we can manage small things faithfully, He will entrust us with more and more. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John+1:9&version=NIV 2009-09-18T10:04:26-05:00 God has promised to forgive us when we come to him in repentance. Because He is a faithful God and true to His word, we need not ever doubt that He will hold to that promise when we seek forgiveness. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/turning-lights-green-5892 2009-09-11T11:38:34-05:00 Where are the people you need going to come from? He's already getting them ready for you and you ready for them. How are you going to get over the huge obstacles that are in the way? The God who parts Red Seas is going to make the way for you. How can you possibly do this thing when you are so flawed, so inadequate, so ordinary? Since when is this about what you can do? With God's assignment always comes God's enabling!
