I've never been able to pick the pilot for my flight, but I got to pick the pilot for my life, and it's Captain Jesus. He's the one Pilot who can bring you in safely...no matter what happens. http://hutchcraft.com/blogs/ron-hutchcrafts-blogs/its-past-halftime 2012-02-07T10:04:22-05:00 This is no time to settle for being on the sidelines or in the stands. Or hiding out in a holy huddle. For heading for the locker room or sitting on the ball. This game is too big to forfeit. Too costly to lose. http://hutchcraft.com/blogs/ron-hutchcrafts-blogs/beautiful-but-broken 2012-02-02T11:14:45-05:00 If God was ever going to turn His back on me, it would have been when His Son was hanging on that cross. But He turned His back on His Son - who was carrying our sin - so He would never have to turn His back on us. So, "nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). His is the only love in the world that will never disappoint you, never divorce you, never die on you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/stopped-at-the-gate-6532 2012-01-24T09:35:47-05:00 No religion can die for your sins; no spirituality can die for your sins. Only God's sinless Son could do that. So He's the only "I.D." that will get us into God's heaven. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/wimpy-death-6527 2012-01-17T09:47:59-05:00 Even in "the valley of the shadow of death," "we have this hope," the Bible says, "as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19). In the deepest, in the darkest hour, the anchor held, and it always will. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-man-with-the-red-bandana-6523 2012-01-11T11:29:55-05:00 Welles Crowther's father said, "His last hour was his legacy." Well, Jesus' last hour, when He was on that cross and chose to be cut off from God so we would never have to be, that was His legacy. And with a very full heart, I can tell you, I'm part of that legacy, and you can be too. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-hurricane-named-peace-6520 2012-01-09T10:19:36-05:00 Hurricane-proof peace is a Person, and He'll be there when the storm is howling, and He'll be there when the storm has passed. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/resigning-the-air-band-joining-the-symphony-6512 2011-12-27T10:34:01-05:00 Serving Christ becomes just going through the motions when we start just cranking it out instead of following the four secrets of fruit bearing: staying clean, clinging, asking, and sacrificing for others. That creates a natural flow of Christ through you, not a busy, but empty performance. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/christmas-far-from-home-6510 2011-12-27T10:07:58-05:00 Wherever you are this Christmas, your heart can finally be home, because you finally belong to Jesus. See, He left home so you could find home. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/not-just-at-christmas-6509 2011-12-22T10:43:24-05:00 Today move beyond a religion about Jesus - to this love relationship with Jesus. Move from just believing things about Jesus - to really belonging to Jesus.
