Well, so does any marriage that hopes to win. The Bible asks this bottom-line question: “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” (Amos 3:3) http://ncem.gospelcom.net/tribaltrails/ttguestshome.htm 2008-10-03T15:39:04-05:00 Bert Genaille tells his story. Plus, links to the stories of other Tribal Trails guests. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/One-Little-Hole-in-the-Levee-8112 2008-10-03T09:54:18-05:00 You got a big wall holding back a big flood breached by just a little hole. That is such a picture of how so many people have ended up where they could have never dreamed, in the wreckage of what might have been a life that matters. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Levees-the-Flood-Can-t-Break-8078 2008-09-05T13:31:43-05:00 When you know a flood is possible, you do need to build your levees high around a town, or even around your marriage. Marriages have got a flood of pressures on them, problems, and demands, and temptations. It’s really challenging to make a marriage work these days. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Spiritual-Snowmen-4442 2008-08-28T16:49:06-05:00 Sadly, what happens to snowmen seems to be happening to more and more of God's people. They're slowly going soft, melted by the heat of a culture that applies heavy pressure to compromise both Christian convictions and Christian lifestyles. And some of us are becoming so melted that you can hardly tell the difference between us and the lost people around us. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/The-Stink-Takes-Over-4538 2008-08-28T16:09:30-05:00 You may feel a little defensive about the input that you like, but just ask yourself a few questions about what you watch, and what you listen to, what you read, what you laugh at, and who you hang around with. Is it making me a little harder inside than I was? Am I having more sinful fantasies than I used to? Am I becoming a little more tolerant of sinful things than I ever used to put up with? Am I flirting mentally with some of the things that I know are wrong? Am I finding the good things less interesting and more boring? Is my heart getting a little colder toward Jesus? http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/The-High-Price-of-a-Little-Ice-4438 2008-08-28T15:46:50-05:00 Now, it doesn't take much ice on the wings to cause an airplane to start losing altitude. It doesn't take much ice in your soul to cause you to start losing altitude - to start going down spiritually. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Linus-Minus-his-Blanket-4434 2008-08-28T14:14:20-05:00 Now, maybe we shouldn't be so amused by Linus and the security blanket he can't do without. Because most of us, maybe all of us, have a blanket of our own. Not literally, of course. But we're all pretty attached to something or someone that we really, really need. Maybe someone or something that to a significant extent defines who we are. Unfortunately, there comes a time in all our lives when we can't hang onto that blanket anymore. Sometimes, it's literally stripped from our hands. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/The-Deepest-Cry-Of-The-Human-Heart-4414 2008-08-28T11:40:57-05:00 I don't know about you, but that cry for love in Mrs. O'Hair's diary touches something inside of me. In a way, her cry is the cry of every human heart, "Somebody, somewhere, love me." And for many who do believe in God, there is still that awful vacuum. It's possible to believe in God, to do God's things, and to still miss the deep experience of His love. And without that love, the emptiness and loneliness in our heart is never satisfied - no matter how many human loves we experience. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=52&topic_name=Marriage 2008-08-28T07:45:26-05:00 Nancy welcomes Linda Dillow and Holly Elliff to talk about a topic that is not often addressed in Christian circles--sex. Through their frank and honest discussion, you'll find resolution for your questions and fears, and insights about God's perspective.
