And once you do that and start to make those changes, you are well on your way to an exciting new you; one day, one change at a time. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/high-water-and-high-walls-6444 2011-09-22T09:38:57-05:00 Two people living for themselves, or even for each other, honestly it just isn't enough to hold back the flood. It takes two people living together for the God who loves them. Praying together often, drawing closer to each other as they draw close to Him. He's a God whose love runs strong when our love runs low. He pours out His inexhaustible, unconditional love, so we then have it to give to the one we've pledged our life to. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-most-important-mirror-in-your-life-6285 2011-03-11T16:20:33-05:00 Don't start a day without a look in your spiritual mirror. And make whatever changes that are called for that day. I think you'll be amazed at how good you'll start to look. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/out-by-sundown-6297 2011-03-10T10:50:00-05:00 When we let conflict and hurt stay overnight in town - maybe many overnights - we destroy peace, we erode love, we erode trust. Unresolved anger is always a bad guy in town. And you know what to tell a bad guy, right? "I want you out of here by sundown!" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-last-frontier-6260 2011-01-11T11:40:00-05:00 If I belong to Jesus Christ, I need to focus the lordship of Christ on my mouth. The cancer of sin has poisoned my daily speech. But as David said, "The Lord can put a new song in my mouth." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/driving-hard-on-a-dead-end-road-6237 2010-12-09T12:00:34-05:00 Within your reach is the Jesus-road; the one that leads to life! He's waiting to welcome you, forgive you and then lead you onto the road you were made to be on! http://ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3018 2010-11-09T21:01:00-05:00 We all want a faith that won't let us down in times of trouble or loss, uncertainty or fear. A faith that can pull us through the worst--and best--times in our lives. This is the kind of faith that James writes about. It is a faith that we must practice day by day. These studies by Andrew and Phyllis Le Peau on the teaching of James will help us grow a steadfast faith that can carry us through all the ups and downs of life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-wreckage-of-a-runaway-mouth-6196 2010-10-11T09:19:30-05:00 God's provided a place where a life hurtling toward the cliffs of eternity can stop its deadly downward race. It's not a ramp. It's a cross. The cross where Jesus died to absorb all that our sin could do to us: its shame, its guilt, its power, its eternal punishment. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/what-they-re-trying-to-tell-us-6164 2010-08-27T11:15:23-05:00 God has promised His wisdom upon request (James 1:7 ) - and nobody needs that wisdom more than moms and dads. So, several times a day as you look at your children, ask your Heavenly Father, "Help me see what You see when you look at them." Then you'll know how to give them what they need the most. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/moving-with-the-quake-6162 2010-08-24T10:51:53-05:00 The Golden Gate Bridge, while flexible, is not made out of Play-Doh. It has solid structure and so should your life and your days. This is no excuse for laziness or lack of planning. But it is an encouragement to folks who like control to loosen up a little bit and make room for God to do His very dynamic thing. It's the ones who are flexible that survive the shaking.
