He does make everything beautiful in its time. Trust God's timing even if it seems late to you. God always seems to work a little more slowly than I want Him to, but He's always right on time. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-hurry-up-offense-6347 2011-05-10T13:28:00-05:00 You pray ready for anything God might say, and you love ready to forgive anything, and to give anything. I think we may have heard God's two-minute warning. It's time for God's hurry-up offense. Hey, it's time to go for broke. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-reason-for-the-wait-6236 2010-12-06T11:31:16-05:00 You've been waiting for God to come through. You want to be married. You're waiting for Him to answer your prayer about having a child, raising a child. You're waiting for that job, that heart change, that breakthrough, that answer, and it hasn't come yet. Don't panic. Don't let impatience cost you the perfect will of God. Premature babies aren't as healthy as ones that are full-term. Premature solutions aren't healthy either. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/trapped-where-you-don-t-want-to-be-6152 2010-08-12T10:51:20-05:00 Sin's power could only be broken by a sacrifice that was even more powerful - the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. He gave His life there to pay for my sin and to break its hold on me...and on you. Three days later, He demonstrated His supreme power by walking out of His grave. Death could not hold Him, and now He stands ready to walk into your life with all that love and all that power. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%203:15&version=NIV 2009-10-02T14:11:28-05:00 Are you always ready to explain and defend your personal faith if challenged? This passage instructs Christians to always be prepared to answer questions or challenges to their faith. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-christmas-window-2593 2009-10-01T10:14:15-05:00 Maybe you need to invite them to an event that will be the kind that is seeker-friendly prepared for lost people. They're ready to hear Christmas music I bet, everybody wants to hear that. Maybe then you invite them for fellowship afterwards over to your house and talk about what was said and sung about Jesus Christ. Jesus said it was harvest time, and harvest means ready.
