There are Christians compromising all around you, embarrassing their Lord, betraying their Lord. Lives are being lost to loneliness and emptiness because they're living without knowing God. How can you sit here when there's a war going on? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-x-ray-leaves-no-secrets-6752 2012-11-27T09:25:22-05:00 Make no choices thinking that you can get away with sin. God and the Devil are both a lot smarter than you are. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/everything-for-the-war-effort-6375 2011-06-21T10:25:05-05:00 God says to you and me, as He says to those believers centuries ago, "This is your war, too." God's victory strategy is that every Christian sacrifices for His battle. But the best I have—not the least I have—is used to make an eternal difference somewhere in the world or somewhere in my community. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/disproportionate-power-6187 2010-09-28T09:39:37-05:00 You plus God equals a majority, but if you try to anticipate the outcome based on earth math, you'll probably hold back, you'll probably miss the amazing thing God wants to do. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/taking-your-place-on-the-front-lines-6154 2010-08-12T10:53:34-05:00 The truth is you are somebody's best chance of ever going to heaven, because you're the one with Jesus in their heart who is closest to that person at work or school, your family, your neighborhood. If you don't tell them, chances are they'll never hear what Jesus did for them. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-dark-closet-6148 2010-08-12T10:44:57-05:00 You've hidden it, but the sin and the price and the guilt continue to grow behind that door. It's going to be tough to open that closet and deal with what's in there. But it's going to be a whole lot tougher not to. It's haunted you. It's shamed you. It's shackled you long enough. Jesus is right there with you to help you open that door, and to once and for all get rid of the awful secret behind it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/running-red-lights-6144 2010-08-12T10:36:30-05:00 It's just plain foolish not to stop when the God of the universe says to. If you run the red light, one of two hurtful things is going to happen. Either God will do something more drastic and more painful to stop you, or He'll get out of your way and He'll let you walk right into the very unhappy ending down the road. But today...today He's giving you one more chance to stop before the cliff ahead. Don't choose the pain of running God's red light. Stop - before you get hit. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/too-much-to-carry-6093 2010-05-19T10:33:39-05:00 God stands ready to take the same kind of Holy Spirit empowerment that He's given you and plant that anointing in the lives of others. But you have to be willing to let go, and they have to be willing to step up. And the work of God will take off where you are as never before, without anyone being crushed by the load. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/no-such-thing-as-getting-away-with-it-6086 2010-05-10T17:03:57-05:00 There's really no such thing as "secret sin." If God knows, it's no secret. If God knows, you're caught. And you can be sure God knows, and He loves you too much to let you ultimately get away with rebellion against Him, with things that eat away your soul that slowly destroy you. And the best time to turn around is right now, because the bill is getting higher every day. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/nothing-but-the-best-6077 2010-04-27T09:45:57-05:00 There are many ways to rob our King. By giving Him your leftover time; by making Him Lord of the things that don't matter that much to you and holding onto the things that you really care about - that relationship, that child, that dream, that favorite thing - that sin. You can rob God by taking on a work for Him and just doing it halfheartedly, by being lazy or irresponsible in getting it done.
