How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.” How blessed.

He spoke with the prisoners, and each man claimed to be innocent, a victim of the system. One man, however, sat silently in the corner. The ruler asked him, “And you, sir, who do you blame for your sentence?” His […] http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/dont-open-your-gift-too-soon-6642 2012-06-26T09:38:50-05:00 Whatever you've done until now, commit yourself to protect and restore the specialness of sex. And don't ruin it by opening it too soon. http://hutchcraft.com/christmas-moments/christmas-2010/bombshell-birthday 2010-12-21T11:20:35-05:00 There really is a definite moment when you move from "B.C." to "A.D." - it's when you tell Jesus, "I'm Yours from this day on." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/so-dirty-so-clean-6159 2010-08-19T10:21:49-05:00 Today, Jesus is coming to you where you are to offer His high-powered cleaning to you. Wouldn't it be awesome to go to sleep tonight clean; knowing that you've been forgiven by God for every wrong thing you've ever thought, said or done? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/standing-against-the-tide-6133 2010-07-23T15:46:17-05:00 In the words of Psalm 4:5, "Offer right sacrifices, and trust in the Lord." Do what's right - even if it's a sacrifice - and trust the Lord for what happens after that. His greatest rewards are reserved for those who will not betray Him, even for another king. Erosion will take what you cannot afford to lose. Stand against that temptation, stand against the tide, and let God give you what you could never have any other way. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/spiritual-snowmen-6127 2010-07-06T13:36:26-05:00 When we let the heat of an out-of-control, spiritually uncaring world keep melting us down, making us soft, pretty soon there's nothing left but spiritual mush. If you belong to Jesus, your life is supposed to offer a choice, not an echo for a lost and dying world. We have to stand our ground. Or lose the very things that make a Jesus-follower the light of their world. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/slowly-but-surely-submerged-6105 2010-06-04T15:56:18-05:00 You've got to stop that killer strategy with the first look, the first date, the first lie, the first flirtation, the first thoughts of divorce, the first detour from God's Word. This is going to take you where you don't want to go - unless you stop it now. Before today's compromise gives birth to tomorrow's tragedy, run from it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-prize-and-the-prison-6021 2010-02-08T09:24:43-05:00 The devil's basic strategy is really pretty simple: get you obsessed with the prize you might get so you're blind to the trap you're walking into. He'll convince you that "it's just this once," "just a little," "it won't hurt." Lies. All lies. Jesus exposed the devil when he said he is "the father of lies" and "there is no truth in him." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/how-to-avoid-a-major-mess-6019 2010-02-04T09:24:03-05:00 When I was a kid, I had this inflatable boxer who was as big as I was. When I punched him, he fell all the way backwards, but he didn't stay down. He came right back up again. That's what God has made it possible for you to do so you can begin to break that cycle of defeat and discouragement.
