There was just one catch; when they went in the water and got baptized, most of them got baptized, but they held one hand out of the water. It was their sword hand. They refused to let the hand that got things done be baptized for Jesus, which honestly has caused me to ask, “What’s in my un-baptized hand?” http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Nuisance-Or-Need-5663 2008-10-09T15:38:32-05:00 In your life there are obnoxious people; there are mean people, folks who demand a lot of your time and attention; complainers; problem people. Honestly, there are people, who for one reason or another, well, you'd just like to close the door on like almost everyone else has. And you will unless you see them through the eyes of Jesus. Then you'll see the need behind the deeds, like a mother who looks past a baby's crying to find out where it hurts. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Just-Wearing-the-Shirt-5660 2008-10-09T14:36:10-05:00 You see if it's only a Christian uniform, it won't make it past the throne of God on Judgment Day. You need to be sure. You need to make sure that Jesus Christ rules in your heart. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Ground-Zero-Last-One-Out-8096 2008-10-03T10:11:22-05:00 When I hear the word ‘rescue’ I think Ground Zero; someone breaking through to a person who would otherwise die. Someone did that for me. 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-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/How-We-Believe-How-We-Behave-8102 2008-10-03T10:06:25-05:00 You know that’s how many Christians feel about Jesus in their life. They’ll give Him one slice of the pie and that one really has a Jesus flavor. They go to church, they read their Bible, they pray, but then there’s my job, my money, my entertainment, my relationships, how I treat people, and the Jesus slice of course. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Gas-Pains-and-Expensive-Trips-8079 2008-09-05T13:31:04-05:00 Thinking about how much it’s going to cost you. That’s an important part of making any important decision. You know, a lot of people have squandered a life that matters on some decisions where they never thought about how expensive it was going to be ultimately. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/No-Secrets-On-The-Internet-8084 2008-09-05T13:26:20-05:00 Thinking about the things we think we’ve gotten away with, secrets we don’t want anyone to know about, things we hope no one ever finds out, but God’s cameras and recorders, they’re always running and you cannot undo this. Getting away with something is a myth. It’s only a matter of time. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/A-Party-in-Your-Honor-5641 2008-08-29T09:50:54-05:00 So on the day that you finally put your trust in Jesus to be your own Savior, the angels begin the party in your honor. Why? Because they know how much it cost to rescue you. They saw the Son of God return to heaven with something He didn't have when He left for earth - nail prints in His hands and feet and a spear wound in His side. They also know what's at stake in your decision about Jesus. They know this is life-or-death; this is heaven or hell. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Living-Unplugged-4460 2008-08-29T01:25:50-05:00 Pretty amazing: Martha has the Son of God right there in her home, and she is stressed, and critical, and miserable. That's when Jesus lets her know that all the important things she is hustling around doing are not as important as what Mary is doing - sitting at His feet, listening to Him. If life has become way too stressful and overwhelming for you, it's a good possibility you've been making that same mistake.
