And this despite the fact that it has been the world’s most popular musical, seen by many millions and translated into 21 languages. In this video by Crosswalk, cast members share their thoughts about the spiritual messages. Today, there are hundreds of blog posts and articles (as a Google search will show). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/a-thousand-unsung-mornings-6777 2013-01-03T11:22:47-05:00 Do you want to be used greatly by your Lord? Well, before you try to do a great work for Him, why don't you let Him do a great work in you? And you wake up each morning and let Him teach you before you leave. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/9871 2012-12-03T13:12:33-05:00 Culturewatch ministry Damaris provides great resources that use the movie as a starting point for spiritual questions. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/keep-the-child-alive-6732 2012-10-30T09:27:37-05:00 The first snow? Christmas? Amusement parks? They may or may not bring out the child in you. But knowing Jesus, trusting Jesus? That should keep the child alive in you. And I am so grateful that what Jesus did for us He said requires simply the faith of a little child to possess it. What He did on the cross, dying for our sins, loving us enough to pay the penalty we deserve, that that is something a child can grasp, and theologians can explore the depths of. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/9122 2012-09-11T12:10:10-05:00 The Mars Curiosity landing, and our farewell salutes to Neil Armstrong, bring to mind several sci-fi/fantasy books and short stories based on Moon or Mars landings. These have a spiritual dimension that offers conversation-starting and thought-provoking questions. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/how-to-avoid-a-spiritual-hernia-6684 2012-08-27T14:48:43-05:00 Don't get it backwards. You're not the vine producing the fruit. Jesus said, "I'm the vine. All you are is the branch." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/good-wood-6657 2012-07-18T11:20:08-05:00 The fire turns spiritual wimps into spiritual warriors. So, rejoice as you see what you are becoming or can become through heat-treating, and only through heat-treating. You are becoming a heavy hitter in the hands of Almighty God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-god-is-for-girls-myth-6632 2012-06-12T12:41:18-05:00 God is not just for girls. I mean, it's unacceptable for a girl to be the conscience of a dating relationship. It's unacceptable for a woman to be the spiritual leader in a family because of a man forfeiting that leadership. It's unacceptable for a man to hold back in spiritual arenas while he's giving his all in his business and every other arena. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/delegated-life-saving-6628 2012-06-06T14:56:29-05:00 Would you begin right now to pray by name for that person you care about? Pray specifically for an opening where you can extend some spiritual CPR on the spot. Say, "Lord, I know it is not up to some evangelist. It's not up to the church. It's not up to getting a Christian book in their hands. It's up to me in my body, my flesh, my life, to share what Christ has done." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/long-wait-for-a-new-heart-6625 2012-06-01T08:55:42-05:00 Jesus' new heart miracle can save a marriage, a family, a future, a soul. He did the dying so we would never have to. And there's no wait for your new heart. He's been waiting for you to call.
