Oh, maybe you're not in the pigpen yet. Well, don't wait until you hit the wall at the end of a dead-end street. And even if you have, head home. You will find a Father running to meet you and to clean you up and hug you. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/5633 2011-09-15T14:24:18-05:00 Outspoken: Conversations on Church Communication is a new book that draws on the wisdom of more than 60 church communication pros.

This is a comprehensive communications resource for church leaders. http://truewoman.com/?id=1019 2010-09-08T13:41:53-05:00 I have a problem. I like to snack. No . . . I think I need to snack. I think it all started when I was a teen. Lovely summer afternoons were spent on my bed with a couple fiction books and a two-pound bag of Wildberry Skittles . . . http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2010/06/24/should-christians-buy-health-insurance/ 2010-07-07T09:04:25-05:00 Is health insurance (or any insurance for that matter) a Biblical concept? What about alternate approaches, like "sharing" programs? Would you ever drop your health insurance and participate in a sharing program? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/together-on-the-outside-broken-on-the-inside-6109 2010-06-10T11:40:38-05:00 That saving, that spiritual rescue from certain death, did not come cheap. It cost God the life of His Son. It took the sacrifice of the only perfect life there ever was to absorb God's punishment for all your sin. And it took His resurrection from the dead to open the way for you to live with God forever in heaven; forgiven, clean, and one of His kids forever. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/11/11/mental-illness-and-the-church/ 2009-11-11T16:48:38-05:00 The church still struggles to deal with depression, bipolar disorder, and other instances of mental illness. How can the church help those suffering from mental illness? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/a-very-expensive-house-5925 2009-09-25T09:52:50-05:00 In a sense, you drag God into everything you do with your body. It's not your body to do what you please with, to drink what you want, eat what you want, watch what you want, listen to what you want. You don't eat what you want, do what feels good with it, put poison into it, and use it for things God hates. This house was bought at a very expensive price; in fact, the highest price ever paid - the life of the sinless Son of God. And now you've invited Him to move into this house He paid for with His life. Treat your body like what it really is. It's the property of God! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3%20John%201:2&version=NIV 2009-09-20T19:03:37-05:00 This encouraging greetings wishes good health for Gaius, a close friend of the author and the recipient of this letter. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/bumpy-landings-5841 2009-09-10T13:22:16-05:00 Things aren't out of control just because you're experiencing some bumpy landings. God is actually using those bumpy landings to get your attention and then to give you some important messages from Him. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-secret-of-staying-healthy-5780 2009-09-10T10:41:44-05:00 It's carelessness about staying clean that can cost you your physical health and, yes, your spiritual health. And we get careless when we forget who we are - God's temple, God's people, God's son or daughter. He says, "Don't touch any unclean thing." Remember who you are.
