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-relationships/beautiful-when-it-s-fresh-6492 2011-11-29T12:04:40-05:00 Don't let anything, including your own runaway emotions or passions, cause you to sacrifice the best of sex and the best of love. Remember, it's like snow. It's beautiful when it's fresh. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-message-at-macy-s-parade-6489 2011-11-28T11:19:58-05:00 There's only one person who even claimed to die for our sins. There's only one person who backed up that claim by walking out of His grave under His own power, because only someone who has eternal life can give it. Jesus alone paid the price so you and I wouldn't have to. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/jumping-before-you-ve-heard-it-all-6482 2011-11-15T11:41:15-05:00 How are you perceived by your mate, your children, your parents, your friends when it comes to listening? Maybe someone has basically stopped trying. But tell them you want another chance. It takes patience; it takes self-control to listen; not just to a person's words, but to their heart. It is, according to the Word of God, foolish not to listen before you speak. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-terminator-6467 2011-11-03T14:13:08-05:00 This tongue we've got is daily either making people feel more alive or more destroyed inside. So, hold the put-downs, swallow the sarcasm, and cushion the criticism. Remember, your tongue can be The Terminator. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/watching-him-drown-6465 2011-10-21T17:08:39-05:00 I know that Jesus jumped in to rescue me at the cost of His life. How can I, then, stay on the shore any longer and watch people I know slip away without Him; without a chance to live forever? And I am their chance. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/twister-love-6456 2011-10-11T10:30:39-05:00 Write that letter. Make that call. Go see that person. Give that gift. Say that thank you. Grab that time together. Show them you love them now. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-shark-syndrome-6454 2011-10-07T11:22:33-05:00 Here's a good prayer for today, "Dear Lord, help me. Teach me to be an over-looker." Don't add up the hurts and the wounds and pounce on them. Let it go! Who needs any more sharks anyway? Swim on by. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/cleanup-or-cover-up-6455 2011-10-07T11:16:58-05:00 Coming clean with your sin is doing the hard thing. But covering it is so much harder. Oh, and so much more expensive. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/someone-talked-6445 2011-09-23T09:18:40-05:00 We can sink people's lives with our words. World War II G.I.s were warned not to say the things they could say, because they were wanting to save lives. See, that's still an important warning and maybe it's a time for us to pray as the Holy Spirit points this out inside us, "Lord, help me to stop this tongue of mine before more hurting words come out." "The tongue has the power of life and death."
