We are to wait, but we are not to be idle while we wait. We are to be involved and make every effort to know Him and make Him known. Consequently... http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=36063&columnid=3803 2008-11-10T17:58:08-05:00 Submit to God and Resist the Devil! Peter is calling the church (and us) to be mature and faithful which requires us to submit and to be humble. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/October-Moon-8123 2008-10-24T11:28:02-05:00 There’s really no such thing as moonlight. What we’re seeing is the light of the sun reflecting off the moon. All that bright beauty of the moon is just reflected glory. http://discipleshiptools.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=37101&columnid=4166 2008-09-29T12:53:03-05:00 Humility minimizes arrogance and removes pride. It is the understanding of our fallen nature and weaknesses that causes us to think we are better than we are, and that causes us to strive to lift ourselves above others and God. It is admitting that... http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Radical-Christmas-Victory-Plan-4421 2008-09-11T16:51:27-05:00 Now try to get your mind around this: the helpless hands of that little Jewish baby Mary was holding in the manger were the hands that created the galaxies! The Son of God, the second Person of the Godhead, the One of whom the Bible says, "Through Him all things were made" (John 1:3) - comes to our planet in a helpless little package that basically can do nothing for Himself. Omnipotence becomes helplessness to rescue a world full of dying people. As one song says, "What a strange way to save the world." http://circuitriter.gospelcom.net/article/?article_id=106 2008-09-01T21:14:42-05:00 Do you ever find yourself struggling for the "front seat" because of pride, a desire for power or to be first? True Holy Spirit inspired humility demands otherwise. Read about Diotrephes "who loved to be first..." http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Fool-s-Gold-5642 2008-08-29T09:53:54-05:00 It's so easy to buy the values of a world that measures worth by success, by how much of the glittery stuff you have - to spend major life-energy going after more house, more car, more wardrobe, more position, more prestige. It's gold - but it's fool's gold. Notice the words God uses to describe the pursuit of more: a trap, foolish desires, harmful desires, ruin and destruction, wandering from the faith, grief. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-House-We-Didn-t-Finish-4325 2008-08-27T16:43:44-05:00 That's not the only house a parent intended to build and never got done. In fact, many of us Moms and Dads knew how we wanted our family to be -- how we still want it to be -- but somehow the home, the family we intended to build never got finished, did it? Even as our children were leaving for college, Karen and I talked about how quickly the years had melted away and how we were feeling there was so much unfinished business in our kids' lives. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Letting-Go-Of-The-Wheel-4328 2008-08-27T16:42:05-05:00 My wife sometimes has a hard time getting me to let go of the wheel. God knows that feeling - maybe with you, too. Some of us hang onto control for as long as we can, not realizing that we are heading for a crash if we don't let go. And we're missing miracles that God so wants to do in our lives - because we refuse to relinquish control. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Trashing-The-Treasure-4329 2008-08-27T16:41:25-05:00 That was a costly mistake - trashing treasure because of the container it was in. It's a mistake many people are making. Except the treasure is themselves. And maybe we needed to talk about this today because you may be throwing away a treasure - called you.
