Don’t touch anything dead. 3. Don’t ever cut your hair. Not exactly rocket science there. But what does Mr. Strong do? Now [Samson’s] father went down to see the woman. And there Samson held a feast, as was customary for young men. — Judges 14:10 The […] http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/when-conquerors-wimp-out-6817 2013-02-26T12:58:33-05:00 Ask God for the courage to confront, even when you're young, even when you're single. Deal with issues while they're small. Face the conflict; don't try to bury it. When a conqueror on the battlefront learns to be a confronter on the home front, then he's really being a man. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/being-a-winning-head-coach-6787 2013-01-15T10:07:16-05:00 Start spending some time getting your family together spiritually and getting with the Lord together. Get them in the Lord's presence together. The only way you can fail at this is to not try. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/making-a-man-feel-safe-6780 2013-01-04T10:21:34-05:00 Every man needs a woman who will love the little boy inside him. See, the man is very self-assured outside, but so self-conscious on the inside. He doesn't need a woman who's a critic, or a nag, or a predator, or a competitor. Men are very lonely people, because most of their relationships are only on the surface. But God raises up a special breed of women who are able to give a man a harbor http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/you-need-a-love-triangle-6722 2012-10-16T11:05:50-05:00 Before you get married, wait for someone who is joined to Jesus as you are, because it is worth the wait. And after you marry, practice His presence daily in your home. A love triangle with Jesus as that real third person is the strongest bond on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/nothing-worse-than-a-nag-6655 2012-07-18T11:21:58-05:00 You and I and Solomon all agree. In fact, just about everybody agrees. There's nothing worse than a nag. So, let's decide right now not to be a nag. Oh yeah, or to create one. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-god-is-for-girls-myth-6632 2012-06-12T12:41:18-05:00 God is not just for girls. I mean, it's unacceptable for a girl to be the conscience of a dating relationship. It's unacceptable for a woman to be the spiritual leader in a family because of a man forfeiting that leadership. It's unacceptable for a man to hold back in spiritual arenas while he's giving his all in his business and every other arena. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/how-to-give-a-man-a-makeover-6631 2012-06-11T10:28:18-05:00 Ruth Graham, Billy Graham's wife, said very wisely: "It is my job to love Billy; it is God's job to change him." That principle applies to sons and fathers to some extent, and certainly to husbands. A woman is a powerful force in changing a man if she makes him feel safe. A man often isn't going to risk changing unless he feels like there's a woman who will love him whether he changes or not. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/how-to-lose-something-spiritually-and-keep-it-off-6570 2012-03-20T11:06:30-05:00 I think as Christians we should be known for being too busy doing good things to miss the things we're not doing. Let's be known not for what we're against, but for the great things we're for. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/every-sister-needs-a-brother-6539 2012-02-02T10:18:25-05:00 Women, remember the kind of bait you offer determines the kind of catch you get. Act like you want brothers. Act like you want guys who will be friends, not users; not conquerors. And men, cultivate sisters; a level of sharing and caring that the sexual conquerors will never even get close to. Treat her like family. She's your sister, man! And every sister needs a brother.
