And you can be part of God's healing in that person's life. We're here to do what Jesus would do if He were here in person, and that means when others see a nuisance, you'll see a need and you'll do something about it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-leadership-lifestyle-6524 2012-01-12T11:42:32-05:00 God has called you to some measure of leadership and the responsible lifestyle that goes with that. I think that's an awfully powerful incentive to be all you were meant to be in Christ. It's a good thing; a good reason to live up to what Jesus wants all of His kids to live up to. But He has put trust in your hands. He's put His reputation in your hands. He has made His Kingdom vulnerable to you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-effect-your-name-has-6521 2012-01-09T10:20:54-05:00 Your good name? Man, it's worth everything. Don't compromise it. Don't put a mark on anyone else's name either, because according to the Bible, if you've got a good name, you're a moral millionaire. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-gospel-according-to-the-birds-6513 2011-12-28T11:02:48-05:00 If the usual means of supply are cut off, God doesn't need those. It's been God that's been the source all along. He'll deliver it another way. He will feed you from His storeroom. If you don't believe me, just ask the birds. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/what-i-found-hiding-in-the-christmas-story-6511 2011-12-27T10:30:02-05:00 The Great Commission of Jesus came with His birth. It was His final word before He left. Whatever the years before have been, let's let 2012 be, as never before, the "Year of our Lord" 2012. The year each of us fulfills our destiny, fulfills our Lord's orders to make sure the News about Jesus gets to "all the people" we know. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/packing-up-christmas-6507 2011-12-20T09:41:09-05:00 Because Jesus is alive, because He wanted out of His grave after He died for you, He can walk right into your life upon your invitation. What a day this would be right here in the season we celebrate His coming to this world He could come into your life. Tell Him that today; pray that way to Him today. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-rewards-of-not-moving-6497 2011-12-06T13:17:28-05:00 Most importantly, follow Christ patiently, doggedly, stubbornly every day for a lifetime. Even when you can't feel anything, when you can't hear His voice, it is the loyal followers of Christ who see Him as nobody else does. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/garbage-picker-vision-6495 2011-12-02T15:48:32-05:00 Somewhere near you is an assignment with a name; someone waiting for another person to see the Peter, or the rock, in them. Stop for someone that others might be walking past or even throwing away or trashing. Pick them up and patiently build them into all they were meant to be. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/you-got-mail-for-thanksgiving-6488 2011-11-28T11:18:42-05:00 We're pretty good at thinking of things we don't like about someone. But something good happens in your heart when you make yourself sit down and you start writing about that person's strengths, and their contributions to your life, to others' lives. And something good happens in their life when they get your gratitude in a letter. You are indeed building them up. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/black-friday-bargain-fever-6490 2011-11-28T11:16:10-05:00 If you start to pray that three-open prayer, I guarantee that God will answer it. You don't have to say, "Lord, if it is Your will." It is His will. "Lord, open a door." "Lord, open their heart." "Lord, open my mouth." When you ask God for open doors, then open your eyes to look for them. They'll be there, all over the place, because God really wants you to tell the people you know about His Son.
