You faithfully do your part, but it's a gift from Him to you. You're the instrument. You're not the musician. The instrument gets no credit. You're the glove; you're not the hand. The glove can't do anything. The hand in the glove does it all. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/more-than-shamrocks-6626 2012-06-04T09:58:07-05:00 St. Patrick was biographically credentialed to tell the Irish about Jesus. His life had apparently been crafted by God to make him a man who understood them, who they would listen to because of what he had experienced. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/who-does-lin-play-for-6603 2012-05-02T15:11:52-05:00 Life is honestly a whole lot less confusing and conflicted when you've got only one person to please - the Person who loves you unconditionally, unendingly, unsparingly. Jesus, who abandoned His glory in heaven and the acclaim of angels to rescue you and me. 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-personal-power/your-skin-goes-everywhere-6580 2012-03-30T09:56:17-05:00 Your relationship with Christ isn't just some set of spiritual clothes you put on to do spiritual work, to go to spiritual meetings and then take off. It's skin that you carry with you into every arena of your life. Living for Christ is a style that you carry with you all day, everywhere like skin. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/prints-in-sand-and-cement-6308 2011-03-17T09:53:29-05:00 Could it be that you didn't mean to, but you've been caught up in the footprints that you've been making in the sand? It's been so important to make that mark at work, at church, with a group of people you want to impress. Well, are the people close to you losing out to the things that you're involved in? Put your prints in cement, where they'll last, not in sand where they can't last. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/a-bigger-god-than-ever-6226 2010-11-30T09:39:37-05:00 You haven't even begun to see the glory and power of the God you belong to. You need some very big mountains to see what a very big God you have. So don't frustrate over the challenge you're facing. Celebrate it as your ticket to that front row seat on the glory of God. Because the more you grow, the bigger He will be. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2034:5&version=NIV 2009-09-11T09:27:09-05:00 "Radiant"--that's the adjective used to describe those who serve God. When we turn our faces to God, we actually reflect a bit of His glory, grace, and love to the world around us; in a spiritual sense, we shine out in this dark world. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Cor.3.18&version=NIV 2009-07-14T11:02:48-05:00 Following Christ isn't just a lifestyle choice; it's an ongoing process of transformation. Christ-followers, exposed to God's grace and glory each day, naturally begin to reflect that glory into the lives of those around them. Is your life experiencing this transformation?
