Who didn't just risk His life for you and me; He gave His life. And He stands ready to rescue you from a spiritual death penalty you can't escape any other way. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-race-to-nome-6619 2012-05-24T16:56:32-05:00 those of us who've been saved by the serum of the Gospel are responsible before God to get that serum to those who are going to die without it. Jesus expects that the driving passion of His people and His Church, will be the passion that kept Him on the cross, "to seek and save the lost" (Luke 19:10 ). In a very real sense, we hold their eternities in our hands. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/facing-the-flame-6480 2011-11-14T11:43:35-05:00 Could it be that we've gotten so busy and even so involved in accumulating blessing at our church, at our conferences, and our Bible studies that we have walked right by the people who are facing the flames? You know, we're all called to rescue them. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/survivors-to-the-rescue-6207 2010-10-26T09:16:29-05:00 As time has gone by, have you become content to just find a warm spot among other people who are already headed for heaven; to believe the beliefs, give the money, be at the meetings, and live as if the reason you were rescued is to enjoy the fellowship of the others who've been rescued? No, you were rescued to rescue. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/in-a-position-to-save-a-life-5993 2010-01-05T15:44:21-05:00 Years ago, God spoke to Moses about His enslaved people and He said, "I have come down to rescue them...I am sending you" (Exodus 3:8, 10). He's saying that to you about the lost people within your reach. It's no accident you are where you are, who you are, doing what you do. God has put you in a position to help save some lives and help some people be in heaven with you. It's the most important thing you have to do; the most important difference you can possibly make with the rest of your life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/even-superman-has-his-kryptonite-9191 2009-02-05T14:36:47-05:00 I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and I am no Superman, but I understand the Kryptonite thing…that we all have some things that have repeatedly brought us down spiritually. And just like Superman, we can’t afford to get near our spiritual Kryptonite. The command in the Bible is, “Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1). http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Hurricane-Hope-8124 2008-10-24T11:29:15-05:00 I was thinking about the largest search and rescue effort launched in the history of the planet. It was on a Roman cross on a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem. It’s where Jesus came to rescue us from an awful eternity. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Ground-Zero-When-Heroes-Are-Afraid-8097 2008-10-03T10:10:31-05:00 It’s interesting how the Bible describes our mission of telling people about Jesus in rescue terms. When Jesus said He had come to, “seek and to save what was lost,” (Luke 19:10) He was talking in life-saving terms. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Survivors-to-the-Rescue-4747 2008-08-21T15:31:49-05:00 As time has gone by, have you become content to just find a warm spot among other people who are already headed for heaven? to believe the beliefs, give the money, be at the meetings, and live as if the reason you were rescued is to enjoy the fellowship of the others who've been rescued. No, you were rescued to rescue. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/In-a-Position-to-Save-a-Life-4972 2008-08-12T09:54:06-05:00 As you think about the people at work today, at school, in your neighborhood, in your family or the place you shop or recreate - among those people must be those who have probably never been to the cross of Jesus to have their sins forgiven. The only One who can forgive their sins is the One who died to pay for them. And if they die with their sins unforgiven, they have no chance of getting into God's heaven. You know that. You know Christ. You know them - which means you're responsible.
