Instead, I do the very thing I hate. Who will free me?" You can't be rescued until you admit you can't save yourself; until you're willing to pin all your hopes on somebody who can rescue you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/a-refreshing-change-in-the-atmosphere-6545 2012-02-10T09:43:05-05:00 Do the jobs no one else wants to do, and let God use you to clear out the oppressive heat of selfishness. What a refreshing change in the atmosphere you could bring to the place where you live. http://hutchcraft.com/blogs/rons-blogs/tiger-s-troubles 2010-05-13T12:02:40-05:00 I was struck by Tiger's admission this week that the problems aren't just physical. He said, "There are a lot of things going on in my life. I'm just trying to get everything in a harmonious spot, and that's not easy to do." It's easy to throw stones at Tiger. What he needs is our prayers. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/it-is-a-too-small-world-2530 2009-09-25T14:31:37-05:00 When you invite Jesus into your life, it's this Jesus you get! He wants you to be like Him, self-forgetful, not self-focused. A world that's only as big as you are is too small a world to live in. Jesus invites you to break out, to start finding the needs around you and doing something about them. To focus on others instead of yourself, to find your life by giving it away, not to lose your life by hanging onto it. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%202:3&version=NIV 2009-09-24T16:09:11-05:00 Selfishness, and actions done to bring glory or comfort for ourselves, are not characteristics of a Christ-follower. Christians are to act humbly and with an attitude of service toward others. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2011:26&version=NIV 2009-08-17T23:55:57-05:00 Selfishness and greed are condemned here; God honors those who are open with their possessions and not afraid to part with them when others need them. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/Taming-the-Final-Frontier-4019 2008-08-01T16:53:09-05:00 I’d say that idea is close, but not the prize winner. The last frontier isn’t outer space – in fact, it’s inner space ... what’s inside you and me. Which includes our imagination, but plenty more. God’s view would seem to be that the “last frontier is the human heart.” That is the vast and violent wilderness that remains untamed inside us. And it’s usually the people closest to us who can attest to the fact that our dark side is alive and well – and yes, it’s untamed. They get to see and feel it all too often. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Hurricane-Glue-8060 2008-07-25T10:14:00-05:00 You know that could be you and your family or you and your marriage. Maybe you’re being hit hard by one of life’s financial hurricanes or medical or emotional hurricanes. Now it will do one of two things—it’ll drive you closer together or further apart. It won’t be the storm that decides it; it’ll be your choices. http://www.rbc.org/questionsDetail.aspx?id=45830&Topic=610 2007-12-11T19:11:09-05:00 How can I discern the difference between sinful anger and godly anger?
