Peter restates his purpose, and desires to get his people thinking about Christ, not the trends of the day, not the new philosophies, false teachers, or the scoffers. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Overboard-On-Cleaning-Up-5688 2008-10-30T15:29:59-05:00 We need to be stressing relationship, not reform. The message of reconciliation God has trusted to us is all about Jesus! People sin because they're sinners, and they will be sinners until they know the Savior! So stick to Jesus and stick to His cross, and don't encumber that simple Gospel with an attempt to clean up their lifestyle. http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=44203&columnid=3803 2008-10-29T17:49:52-05:00 Beware of Apostasy! A warning against apostasy, so we take our faith seriously! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Highest-Wall-in-the-World-5685 2008-10-24T16:33:10-05:00 God is the relationship we've been missing and looking for our whole lives. We're lonely because we don't have His love. We're empty because only He can fill the hole in our heart. We're wondering what the meaning of our life is, but we can't get to the only One who knows, because He put us here. The wall is there. If we die with that wall still there between us and God, it will be there forever. The Bible has a word for that - hell. Even the heaven we want to go to is on the other side of that wall. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Where-the-Spotlight-Belongs-5667 2008-10-14T11:00:02-05:00 Throughout Scripture, throughout history, pride has been the subtle destroyer of people that God wanted to use. As soon as He started to use them, they forgot it was Him, not them, that any success is a gift from God, not an achievement by us. It's all about Jesus; it's nothing about you. And even though men can't usually see the pride in your heart like they can see the more outward sins, God can see it and He'll not tolerate it. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Impressive-on-the-Outside-Nothing-on-the-Inside-5666 2008-10-09T17:20:58-05:00 You're missing Jesus in your heart. Even religious people can miss Him. Your Christian exterior may actually have allowed you to believe that you have Jesus when, in reality, you've never consciously given yourself to the Man who died to pay for all your sin. If you're tired of just repainting the scenery of your life and improving the exterior, why not open the door of that set and let Jesus into the emptiness inside. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Too-Busy-to-Notice-5646 2008-09-12T14:50:38-05:00 The truth is that many of us are moving at such a fast pace that we become oblivious to what the Son of God did for us on the cross. Even those of us who at one time came to that cross with all our sin and all our guilt to make Christ our personal Savior from all of that junk. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/A-Party-in-Your-Honor-5641 2008-08-29T09:50:54-05:00 So on the day that you finally put your trust in Jesus to be your own Savior, the angels begin the party in your honor. Why? Because they know how much it cost to rescue you. They saw the Son of God return to heaven with something He didn't have when He left for earth - nail prints in His hands and feet and a spear wound in His side. They also know what's at stake in your decision about Jesus. They know this is life-or-death; this is heaven or hell. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Moving-Toward-That-Door-4491 2008-08-29T00:23:00-05:00 That door isn't going to open until you start walking toward it. Don't just stand there any longer. Get moving toward your miracle! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Hands-Tell-it-All-4499 2008-08-28T17:29:44-05:00 Jesus wants to be with you every remaining day of your life. And He wants you to be with Him forever. Reach out to Him today. And when you've taken your last breath, you'll meet Him at last. And you'll know Him when you see Him - by the print of the nails in His hands.
