One aspect of “making a difference” really didn’t hit my radar screen, though . . . http://truewoman.com/?id=1226 2010-08-31T16:13:42-05:00 I am eternally grateful for meeting Christ at a very young tender age; but I regret times I’ve wandered through the “ordinary” days, grumbled and complained as I trudged through the difficult days, and frivolously skipped carefree through seasons which could’ve been spent with more forethought and purpose. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9888 2010-08-25T14:34:55-05:00 Understand and embrace the distinct purpose God created you for with the help of this booklet by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. http://internetevangelismday.com/kevin.php 2010-08-08T16:04:39-05:00 TV adverts for the outreach site PowertoChange.com attracted their attention, but Kevin and Cathy were at first skeptical. They went online to check it out. There they found a clear message of truth with the promise of help to change their ways. http://internetevangelismday.com/bookreviews/purpose-driven-life.php 2010-08-07T16:58:57-05:00 Rick Warren’s best-seller has led to transformation of individual Christian lives and church ministry, as it has shown people that God has a specific fulfilling plan for their them. And one part of that, of course, is fitting into His evangelistic strategy for the world. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/when-the-lid-comes-off-your-life-6096 2010-05-24T11:25:57-05:00 When you get Jesus, you plug into the plan you were made for; you get heaven's direction for your decisions; you get inexhaustible, "unloseable" love; you get God's grace to help you weather every crisis; you have someone who's bigger than every challenge that's bigger than you are. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/obsessed-with-driving-6082 2010-05-05T16:32:48-05:00 You'll have to abandon trusting in yourself to let go and trust the Man who died and rose again for you. If you insist on hanging onto the wheel of your life, you will ultimately drive it over the cliff of an eternity away from God. And if you've got a family or people who follow you, you may even take others with you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/when-your-life-is-drifting-6034 2010-02-25T09:31:26-05:00 "Drifting" may be a word that describes a little of how you feel about your life right now. You can be successful but not satisfied. You can be winning but still wondering what your life is all about. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/no-escape-on-a-dead-end-road-6000 2009-12-21T09:30:08-05:00 Actually, no religion gets you to God, including Christianity. Only Jesus can because only Jesus "gave Himself as a ransom" for us. That's ransom as in the price you pay to get someone back, because our sin has an eternal death penalty, actually described by Jesus as involving a place of fire. The price to be paid is death, and that's what you and I deserve for hijacking our lives from God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/feeling-down-at-the-top-2897 2009-09-25T13:52:59-05:00 Life is a series of disappointing views until we give our lives to the only One who can give it eternal meaning. Every other destination will leave you feeling hollow inside - until you're home - in the waiting arms of Jesus Christ.
