He was showing all of us what should be a governing passion of our lives and our relationships–pointing people to Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/A-No-Fear-Christmas-8165 2009-01-05T12:11:41-05:00 ...even with a falling messenger, that’s still an important message of Christmas. The Bible says, “The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy…a Savior has been born to you’” (Luke 2:10-11). Notice, “Do not be afraid.” That message seems especially important this Christmas. A lot of our personal finances are full of fear right now. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Christmas-Shepherds-Where-You-Are-8158 2009-01-05T12:01:57-05:00 ...little did those shepherds know when they camped out in that field that night that they were about to step into a life that matters. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Casualty-of-a-Busy-Life-8155 2009-01-05T11:58:25-05:00 Now, here’s the problem: there have been way too many times that Jesus has been the victim of centrifugal force in my life. Because the faster my life is spinning, the more I tend to allow Him to get thrown to the edge, starting with my personal time with Him in His Book. http://hutchcraft.com/Christmas-Moments/Christmas-2008/Charlie-Brown-Christmas 2008-12-08T12:22:56-05:00 It’s a Christmas TV classic…a Charlie Brown Christmas. After Charlie Brown’s frustrating search for some real Christmas, Linus walks onto the stage dragging his blanket, the spotlight hits him, and he proceeds to quote from the Bible’s account of Christmas 1. http://hutchcraft.com/Christmas-Moments/Christmas-2008/War-Where-Peace-Was-Born 2008-12-08T12:19:58-05:00 Actually, a lasting peace agreement did begin in Bethlehem; not international peace, but the kind we’ve been looking for our whole lives–personal peace. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Hand-That-Won-t-Go-Under-8138 2008-11-25T11:26:37-05:00 Constantine had declared Christianity would be the official religion of the Roman Empire and he wanted all of his soldiers to be baptized. 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.
