He was huddled in the back corner with his head in his hands. And the coach announced, “The same team will take the field second half.” Regals went to his coach and he said, “I can’t do it, coach.” The coach said,”Roy, the game’s only half over. Get out there!” And he did. Now, his team lost the game, but sports writers would say they had never seen a player play like Roy Regals did that second half. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/When-You-re-Not-Sure-Where-the-Money-Will-Come-From-8144 2008-11-25T11:34:01-05:00 Maybe a faucet your money usually comes from isn’t working all of a sudden—your job, your savings, the value of your home. But those are only faucets. What a child of God needs comes from the reservoir; from your Heavenly Father. The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). The Bible says, ”Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. He will be like a tree planted by the water…its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8). http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Brady-Bunch-Bombshell-8143 2008-11-25T11:33:18-05:00 So many folks live trapped between the “lookin’ good” role they play and an ugly, maybe frightening reality behind the image. That gap slowly tears you apart inside unless and until you can find someone who will take you as you really are and help you get to who you want to be and who you need to be. For millions of us, that person’s name is Jesus. He already knows everything about me—good, bad, ugly. The Bible says, ”Lord, You have searched me and You know me. You are familiar with all my ways” (Psalm 139:1, 2). So there’s nothing to hide. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Confusing-Voices-8142 2008-11-25T11:32:42-05:00 Too many times I’ve been facing an important decision and there were a lot of voices pulling on me. Sometimes they have drowned out the only voice I can trust to give me the direction I never regret. The Bible says, “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). If I want to discover the life that matters He made me for, I’ve got to make time to be alone with God to hear His voice, which is often a still, small voice unlike all those others. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Increasing-Your-Bench-Press-8136 2008-11-07T11:55:32-05:00 ... that may explain the heavy load that you’re having to lift right now. It’s all about increasing your bench press. Here’s God’s strength program for His players. It says, “Blessed are those whose strength is in You. They go from strength to strength ‘til each appears before God” (Psalm 84:5, 7). How does God build you to a spiritual champion? http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Nip-and-Tuck-8106 2008-10-03T09:59:35-05:00 All of us have some things about ourselves we’re not happy with and we get down on ourselves. We feel like we’re not as good as other people, but you are an original. You’re a one-of-a-kind creation of a God who makes no mistakes. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Flood-Insurance-For-Your-Home-8082 2008-09-05T13:28:23-05:00 But home isn’t just a building—it’s the relationships. So how do we hold our home together when the monster waves hit? It might be financial, it could be medical or conflict or tragedy. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/No-Secrets-On-The-Internet-8084 2008-09-05T13:26:20-05:00 Thinking about the things we think we’ve gotten away with, secrets we don’t want anyone to know about, things we hope no one ever finds out, but God’s cameras and recorders, they’re always running and you cannot undo this. Getting away with something is a myth. It’s only a matter of time. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Sunsets-Should-Be-Beautiful-4492 2008-08-28T17:38:52-05:00 Yes, our later years can have their share of physical pain, disappointed dreams, financial strain, grievous losses, frustrating limitations, and even hurtful neglect. We can't choose our circumstances, but we can, whatever our age, choose our attitude. We can choose what kind of climate we're going to bring with us wherever we are: selfish or unselfish, gentle or harsh, praising or griping, critical or encouraging. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/A-Father-s-Legacy-4248 2008-08-21T15:43:41-05:00 And just in case someone asks, "How do you know that's what a father's supposed to be doing?" we can just look at Ephesians 6:4, our word for today from the Word of God. It says, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
