Marital and sexual fulfillment is the byproduct of focused love. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-thought-detector-6647 2012-07-05T15:38:13-05:00 The greatest strongholds for the kingship of Jesus Christ are in our minds, and they can be, and they must be, surrendered to His will. http://truewoman.com/?id=1231 2010-08-31T16:04:28-05:00 You know it’s a struggle for guys—even Christian guys—but Christian women? http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/312 2010-08-08T17:37:53-05:00 Grainger Community Church have produced this effective video clip. http://discipleshiptools.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=61409&columnid=4166 2009-10-23T16:08:39-05:00 Fruit of the Spirit, Part XI What Happens when we Exercise our Rotten Fruit? In Romans 12: 14-21, we are told how to treat others around us. T http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-fire-you-think-you-can-control-3521 2009-09-22T09:35:27-05:00 God has given us warning. This fire you think you can control will get out of control - and you will do more damage than you could ever have imagined. Your protection against the inferno is the commitment of Job 31:1 - "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully..." It's a choice. The payoff? Beauty instead of charred remains. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/girl-watching-god-is-watching-5906 2009-09-11T12:53:52-05:00 Both men and women have fallen for a casualness about sex that robs it of its God-given beauty. Like snow, it's beautiful when it's fresh and clean but it's ugly when it's trampled and soiled. Godly men, make that covenant with your eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. Godly women, dress for respect, not attention like the temple of God that you are. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/uncontrolled-fire-5862 2009-09-10T15:03:35-05:00 You may be playing with fire on the Internet, in magazines you look at or movies you watch, or just in the way you look at the opposite sex, or the way you push all the boundaries in what you're doing physically with someone. If you'll be honest with yourself, you will see increasing evidence that you're not controlling your passions. They're beginning to control you. The fire is spreading. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.5.28&version=NIV 2009-07-14T10:47:30-05:00 Is it enough to just "do the right things"? Will that make us right with God? Not according to Jesus' famous teaching about lust and adultery, which state that God requires purity of heart as well as of body. That's bad news to anyone who thinks they're righteous before God just because of their perfect outward behavior! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.5.27-30&version=NIV 2009-07-13T16:48:56-05:00 One of Jesus' most revolutionary teachings was that righteousness isn't just defined by your outward actions--it also matters what's in your heart. It's not enough to just "do the right thing" if your heart isn't in the right place. In this famous passage, Jesus teaches that from a spiritual perspective, lust is as dangerous as full-blown adultery.
