It took the greatest act of love and sacrifice in history to make it possible for you and me to find home - including our eternal home in heaven when we die. Living a Much Bigger Life - #6217 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/living-a-much-bigger-life-6217 2010-11-09T09:47:39-05:00 You'll never have enough love until you have the only love that's everlasting. You'll never feel like your life really has meaning until you're part of something that's everlasting. You'll never be ready for eternity, whenever it comes, until you know for sure that you will have everlasting life in heaven. You can, if you pin all your hopes on Jesus Christ, who took the everlasting death we deserve for our sin. Living For Things You Cannot Lose - #6214 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/living-for-things-you-cannot-lose-6214 2010-11-04T09:28:28-05:00 The person who devotes their life to the eternal things they were created for will see their years on this planet count for all eternity. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Just ask Jim Elliott. Just ask Jesus. Some will think what you're doing is foolish. But then, he is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose. How Your Life - And Your Death - Can Really Count - #6198 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/how-your-life-and-your-death-can-really-count-6198 2010-10-13T10:34:14-05:00 if you haven't lived to show Christ to people, your death really can't lift Him up. The death of a man or a woman who has really lived passionately for Christ can have such incredible meaning - helping others be in heaven with you. But a life not lived for Christ just can't have that kind of meaning. Death destroys every reason for living but one - living for Jesus and what matters to Him. It's A Too Small World - #2530 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/it-is-a-too-small-world-2530 2009-09-25T14:31:37-05:00 When you invite Jesus into your life, it's this Jesus you get! He wants you to be like Him, self-forgetful, not self-focused. A world that's only as big as you are is too small a world to live in. Jesus invites you to break out, to start finding the needs around you and doing something about them. To focus on others instead of yourself, to find your life by giving it away, not to lose your life by hanging onto it. Immune To The Smell - #2898 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/immune-to-the-smell-2898 2009-09-25T13:57:45-05:00 Ask God to make you what Romans 16:19 calls "wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil." Innocent about evil, not intrigued by what is evil. Sin stinks. It's the rotting odor of eternal death, no matter how glamorously it is perfumed. Don't ever get used to the smell. Falling Down, but Not Staying Down - #5879 http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/falling-down-but-not-staying-down-5879 2009-09-11T10:55:29-05:00 When you fall down, be as defiant about getting up and walking again as a baby is. When you belong to Jesus, there is no such thing as a knockout. When you belong to Jesus, failure is never final. Listen to God's words, "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise!" Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Welcoming The King - #5706 | Your Most Important Relationship | A Word With You http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/welcoming-the-king-5706 2009-09-09T11:21:40-05:00 Since being like Jesus is your eternal destiny, He wants you to start being now what He's going to make you forever. Living in light of the King's coming also means sacrificing our personal resources and putting them to work in the things that will matter when He comes, rather than storing them up for earth-stuff that won't matter when He comes. Living - a Christian perspective http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2014:9&version=NIV 2009-08-21T11:26:02-05:00 Christ is ruler over all--living or dead, all fall under his sovereignty. The fact that he died and was raised back to life makes him uniquely qualified to rule both the living and the dead.
