You don't ever have to carry the weight of your sin again, because Jesus said, "It is finished!" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/remove-your-mask-before-you-enter-6733 2012-10-31T10:54:23-05:00 When you come to God honestly, and you admit your need, and you begin your relationship with Him, well you'll enter His presence lost. But you'll leave found, and you will finally know that you belong to Him for real. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/something-worse-than-lonely-6724 2012-10-18T10:00:53-05:00 Yes, it's a lonely world. Will you walk on Lonely Street again? Yes, you will. But the day you come to Jesus Christ is your last day alone. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/avoiding-the-backlash-thats-building-behind-you-6686 2012-08-27T14:50:27-05:00 Stop running from what you should be facing. You've got to face the pressure, face the storm, face the issue, and if need be, face the Lord. Trade in that false and temporary security we feel by trying to escape. Trade that for the real security of the peace of Almighty God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/intimate-messages-6656 2012-07-18T11:22:39-05:00 That song we learned as kids didn't say, "Jesus loves us," though that's true. It's so right because it says, "Jesus loves me. This I know." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-way-to-your-fathers-heart-6658 2012-07-18T11:19:15-05:00 Put your money, your time, mobilize your church to do something about needy people wherever they are, not just long distance loving. I'm talking about getting your hands dirty, personal involvement, family involvement. Teach your kids how to have a heart for the poor. Work first hand with some less fortunate people; help lift their burden. Do the work of God on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/more-than-shamrocks-6626 2012-06-04T09:58:07-05:00 St. Patrick was biographically credentialed to tell the Irish about Jesus. His life had apparently been crafted by God to make him a man who understood them, who they would listen to because of what he had experienced. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/do-i-love-him-this-much-6621 2012-05-29T10:05:18-05:00 Music is often a separate compartment in many of our lives where we've put up a "No Trespassing" sign for Jesus. We say, "Well, that's just my entertainment." No! No, it's an important part of who you are. So important you won't let Jesus touch it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/every-scar-has-a-story-6602 2012-05-01T13:26:52-05:00 the scars of Jesus tell the story of how very much He loves you. There's an old hymn that says it pretty well, "I shall know Him, I shall know Him, as redeemed by His side I shall stand. I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side by the print of the nails in His hands." http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6019 2011-10-28T12:13:37-05:00 While it is scarily true that we don't often recognize our own faults, and "we judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions", it can also happen that we may not recognize our own talents either.
