Take encouragement from this, that the God who made you need people - will give you the people you need. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/addicts-need-a-meeting-6804 2013-02-07T09:38:35-05:00 Now, our support group is a support person. We cannot stay away from sin unless we have our meeting - yeah, our meeting with God - regularly. The day you skip your meeting is the day you start to slip. We're not talking about some legalistic ritual where you have check the box Christianity: Read my Bible and prayed. No, not doing your duty. It's a love thing. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/8855 2012-08-09T12:21:59-05:00 Moving story of Tim Reilly sharing the good news through social media, at a critical point in a friend’s life. Two comments: - A prerequisite for this story: that Tim had a number of not-yet-followers as Facebook friends. - He was open to the guidance of God's Spirit on who to speak to, and to use real-time Facebook messaging rather than merely posting a comment or question. What lessons do you draw from this story? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/you-can-t-see-them-but-they-re-holding-it-together-6537 2012-01-31T10:10:53-05:00 I hope you're in the category of God's unsung heroes. Oh, men may not know your name or the sacrifices you're making. Oh, but be sure God does. You may not feel like your role is important, but believe me like those women who supported Jesus' ministry, you're the foundation...you're the support beams. http://truewoman.com/?id=1672 2011-04-15T10:48:59-05:00 I want to be his number one encourager and affirmer. But I’ve noticed something. With children, grandchildren, young wives, friends, and co-workers . . . it’s easy to find the words of encouragement and support for them. I wish that were true with the hubby–but it’s not. http://truewoman.com/?id=1504 2010-11-17T16:50:17-05:00 So often women lament the fact that they desire a spiritual leader; theylong for their husband to lead–but he won’t! http://truewoman.com/?id=1189 2010-09-01T11:59:29-05:00 I had been a Christian for over 20 years, but this was the first time someone had offered to pray for me, and then did so--immediately--out loud and in my hearing, and over the phone! I thought to myself, how bold, how strange, and how wonderful to hear someone praying for me. http://internetevangelismday.com/piggyback.php 2010-08-08T09:39:49-05:00 If you are already involved in some area of web evangelism, then Internet Evangelism Day can be used to enhance your own ministry. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204:15-16&version=NIV 2009-09-03T14:03:38-05:00 The metaphor of a human body is used to describe Christ's church here. Each individual limb and ligament supports the others, to create a functioning whole body--just as the individual members of a church work together to support the whole. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Never-Alone-8086 2008-09-05T13:24:44-05:00 There have been many times in my life when that is the kind of support I really, really needed. It felt like no one else could understand the burden I was carrying. I was swamped by a wave of discouragement. I could have lost the love of my life at a couple of points. There are moments when you feel totally abandoned and isolated, alone and then there is Jesus; His hand on yours saying, “I’m right here.” That might be the kind of ‘be there’ person you need in your life right now.
