It's dynamite strong enough to demolish the walls, the defenses they have built around their lost heart. And God knows exactly what time is the right time to push "detonate." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/something-happens-when-you-have-to-speak-6498 2011-12-09T13:34:43-05:00 You may be in or you might be approaching a pressure situation where you feel inadequate to say what needs to be said. Well, Jesus said here, "Make up your mind not to worry about it." God wants to display His power by giving you words and wisdom that you don't even know you have. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/who-stole-the-cross-6479 2011-11-10T10:53:52-05:00 We should be outraged! We've allowed Jesus' cross to be stolen from the center of our hearts, and our ministries, and our conversations. "The message of the cross," 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, "is...the power of God." I need to be as passionate about elevating that cross as the world and the devil are about eliminating it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-hole-in-the-dam-trouble-downstream-6451 2011-10-03T10:43:54-05:00 My time with Jesus in His Word? It can't be optional. No, it's got to be non-negotiable, because a hole in the dam can do so much damage downstream. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/recycling-garbage-6433 2011-09-07T10:29:12-05:00 The power of Christ is so great that it reaches even to the garbage dumps of our lives and turns trash into treasure. Like the song writer said, "All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, but He made something beautiful of my life." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/turn-around-don-t-drown-6365 2011-06-03T11:23:13-05:00 Are you driving very close to the edge of the flood...flirting with those famous last words, "I can handle it"? No, you can't. Listen to these words from Genesis. Take it, if necessary, as a personal warning, "Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it" (Genesis 4:7). Turn around. Don't drown. Please. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/answers-in-the-graveyard-6345 2011-05-06T10:12:13-05:00 The biggest question of all - where you'll spend eternity - can be answered this very day at the feet of Jesus, who is alive; who's waiting to love you. Your search of a lifetime is almost over. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-most-powerful-place-on-earth-6336 2011-04-26T10:01:21-05:00 Listen! With those you're concerned about, focus the great lasers of heaven on someone or something you care about. Then relax. Relax! Learn to be the man or woman who stands in the middle between God and the people you love. And you will experience this incredible peace that there is when you are standing in the most powerful place on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/losing-over-turf-6318 2011-03-30T17:04:02-05:00 Maybe you and I have cared too much about our group, or our glory. And while we're building our little kingdoms and our walls, people are dying. We need to get together to make a greater difference. Are we standing on the dock arguing? Or are we all in the river together, rescuing every person we can find? Time's running out! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/when-cranking-isn-t-enough-6316 2011-03-30T16:55:13-05:00 D. L. Moody said when he was asked the secret of his power, "For 50 years I have had access to the Throne of Grace." A person, or a situation, or a need that's beyond your reach. Well, don't keep trying to crank out a man-powered answer. Plug into the awesome generator of God's power.
