People who come away transformed. It’s the place the famous preacher Charles Spurgeon called “that magnificent magnet.” It’s the Cross of Jesus Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/your-total-upgrade-5744 2009-09-09T15:44:58-05:00 Now that Christ is in your life, He wants to install some new attitudes about who you are, who He is, who you can be because you belong to Jesus. He wants to enable you to see your family as He sees them, the problem people in your life as He sees them, and the events of your life as He sees them. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:1-2&version=NIV 2009-08-10T17:24:39-05:00 The goal of a Christian is to be transformed slowly to better reflect God's grace to the world. This passage cautions us not to try to "fit in" with the world around us, but to seek conformity with God instead. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters-blog/eternal-perspectives/a-new-set-of-lenses-part-2-of-4 2009-07-08T17:11:15-05:00 How desperate we are to see life through a new set of lenses - eternal lenses, and how we will be transformed when we understand that each aspect of our life has eternal significance. I believe this includes three things that we need to be willing to change if we are going to experience all of what God has in store for us as we seek to know and to have His heart. We will look at the first one today and the other two in the next two blogs. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/what-jesus-sees-when-he-looks-at-you-9201 2009-02-05T14:56:45-05:00 Talk about “Extreme Makeover”, you should see what I saw not long ago. What one man has done with this building: 200,000 square foot eyesore not long ago. It was this abandoned old factory building in a deteriorating part of the city. But one Christian businessman saw something no one else saw—the potential of an army of volunteers and tradesmen mobilizing to turn that abandoned building into a center for ministries of compassion and outreach in his city. And today the love of Christ is going out from that building on a daily basis.
