We are so entangled with earth-stuff that we neglect the things that will matter forever. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/good-news-bad-news-money-news-8229 2009-09-11T13:23:08-05:00 The pastor got up to the pulpit one Sunday and made an unusual announcement: “I’ve got some bad news, some good news and some bad news for you.” He had everybody’s attention. He said, “The bad news is the roof on the church is shot; it’s got to be replaced. The good news is we have the money. The bad news is it’s in your wallets!” http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/The-Hijacking-4757 2008-08-21T10:44:45-05:00 God has work that He's wanted to do through you, but you're not available. You are, in essence, hijacking your life to take it where you want it to go instead of where He made it to go. Maybe you've been thinking, "Here am I. Send him." Let someone else go. Let someone else do it. You cannot delegate the call of God on you to anyone else! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Return-to-Sender-4168 2008-08-14T16:35:58-05:00 Without being told, our little guy understands that some of what he has isn't for him - it's for helping other people hear about Jesus. The secret here is that he's only giving back to the person who gave it to him in the first place. Just like us - when we give to the work of God on earth. We're just giving it back to the one who gave it to us in the first place. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Your-Visa-And-Your-Passport-3932 2008-07-28T16:34:18-05:00 It makes no sense to build yourself this big empire in a place where you've only got a temporary visa. Sadly, many of God's people are making that very mistake - and neglecting to invest seriously in the place that's really home - where their spiritual passport is from.
