I'm not talking about some little statue in the closet. The most dangerous idols are much more subtle than that. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/rub-it-in-6774 2012-12-27T14:09:08-05:00 What did you read today? What are you doing differently because of it? When God says meditate on it, what does that mean? Does that mean you stare into space blankly, kind of an Eastern mysticism thing? Not at all! You think about something you read in the Bible until you have made a connection between what you read and something you're going to face today. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/picking-up-momentum-as-you-near-the-bottom-6644 2012-07-05T15:35:43-05:00 One lifetime, no matter how long it is, is not enough to serve Christ. We only get one; use every day to the max. Look for a mountain; look for giants to fight! And let your definition of retire change. Yeah, you should retire; you should re-tire and get a new set of tires on and drive faster and farther than ever before. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/it-isnt-real-until-its-behind-the-wheel-6630 2012-06-08T12:40:21-05:00 There's no risk in learning what God wants. Just like there's no risk in learning how to drive. It's a little scary to go out on a limb and live that day risking that day on that truth, but see, that's how you build spiritual muscle. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/swallowing-what-you-eat-6517 2012-01-04T10:53:03-05:00 Every day ask yourself the question, "What am I going to do because of what I read in the Bible?" 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-hard-times/spiritual-termites-6463 2011-10-20T11:15:52-05:00 the defeat you're experiencing—it's not to bury you, it's to draw your attention to the sin you've consistently ignored. So exterminate the sin; do a little rebuilding, and you'll be stronger than ever. With the weakness inside corrected, you can be a winner again. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/chewing-your-food-properly-6380 2011-06-24T10:38:16-05:00 In-gesting the Bible - it isn't enough. You only get its value if you di-gest it. So, when it comes to your daily Bible breakfast, chew your food properly. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/your-daily-dig-6359 2011-05-31T10:42:45-05:00 You don't get the treasure out of an archeological site by the shovelful. You find it in those little spoonfuls. It's the same with treasure from God's life-changing Word. Slow down, take your time, and get all the treasure you can from your daily dig into the truth of Almighty God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/target-fixation-6274 2011-01-27T09:51:42-05:00 Point the rest of your life toward the people who are in the darkness, outside of Christ. And no matter what the risks, live your life for the Lord and for the lost. You are a pilot on a combat mission. You've got target fixation, and the target is all that matters. http://ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3024 2010-11-09T21:09:33-05:00 The Old Testament book of Joshua reads like an exciting novel--from the miraculous crossing of the Jordan to the crash of the walls of Jericho and the sun stopping in the sky. Through all the twists and turns, you'll witness God's power and faithfulness. Digging into the story of Joshua will encourage you to persevere in your own daily battles and arm you with the most powerful weapons you'll ever need--God's promises.
