Abraham takes Isaac to a mountain & prepares to obey God. God provides a lamb instead, knowing that Abraham loves Him above all else. Abraham's servant looks for a wife for Isaac & God helps him bring back Rebekah. http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=46410&columnid=3803 2008-10-29T18:09:21-05:00 Christ’s Sufficient Sacrifice! All that Moses did and set up was merely a shadow to Christ. He pointed to the things to come and the reality of Christ’s saving grace that we have now. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Homeless-Feeling-8126 2008-10-24T12:05:33-05:00 You don’t have to be without a home or a memory to need those same answers, “Who am I and who do I belong to?” Those soul questions are bottom-line for living a life that matters, and they’ve driven people to look in relationships and recognition and even religion to find answers, only to leave us still haunted by that homeless feeling. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Expensive-Love-4245 2008-08-21T15:46:21-05:00 He sacrificed himself to save others. He gave up his life so others could live. I owe my life to a man like that. His name is Jesus. Given the choice of letting you and me die for the sinning we have done, He passed the lifeline to us and died in our place. That's a love you do not want to miss because you never really took the lifeline. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Making-Life-an-Adventure-4266 2008-08-21T11:32:38-05:00 At the age of four, our grandson is starting to figure out what really makes life an adventure - it's called "giving living." Living your life, not as a taker, but as a giver ... not to make a name or make a fortune, but to make a difference. That's one reason we experience so much joy at Christmastime. There's something that feels really good about making others happy and sacrificing to give. Guess what? That's how we're supposed to live all year long! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/A-Recipe-For-Heroes-4117 2008-08-18T16:12:14-05:00 When I read Captain Lewis' invitation to Captain Clark, I couldn't help but think how much it reminds me of the much greater invitation that Jesus Christ gives to you and me. It is not an invitation to a party or vacation - it's an invitation to join Him in a bold adventure, filled with "dangers, difficulties, and fatigues." Oh yes, and the "honor and the rewards." http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/A-Question-From-Narnia-8071 2008-08-15T16:48:55-05:00 In the midst of the battle his sister asks him a question that continues to haunt me: “Exactly who are you doing this for?” A question Jesus may be asking some of us about the work we’re doing. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Medal-of-Honor-Men-8074 2008-08-15T16:46:00-05:00 Not really, but the kind of love God expects of us husbands, is the kind that does abandon our self preservation for our wife. To live a life that matters at home, her needs matter more than yours. Her need to be heard matters more than your need to get things done http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Return-to-Sender-4168 2008-08-14T16:35:58-05:00 Without being told, our little guy understands that some of what he has isn't for him - it's for helping other people hear about Jesus. The secret here is that he's only giving back to the person who gave it to him in the first place. Just like us - when we give to the work of God on earth. We're just giving it back to the one who gave it to us in the first place. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/swahili/God%20Tests%20Abrahams%20Love%20Swahili.pdf 2008-08-12T21:41:57-05:00 Swahili: God asks Abraham to take Isaac his only son, & offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham takes Isaac to a mountain & prepares to obey God. God provides a lamb instead, knowing that Abraham loves Him above all else. Abraham's servant looks for a wife for Isaac & God helps him bring back Rebekah.
