The Devil can't stand a biblical response. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-leadership-lifestyle-6524 2012-01-12T11:42:32-05:00 God has called you to some measure of leadership and the responsible lifestyle that goes with that. I think that's an awfully powerful incentive to be all you were meant to be in Christ. It's a good thing; a good reason to live up to what Jesus wants all of His kids to live up to. But He has put trust in your hands. He's put His reputation in your hands. He has made His Kingdom vulnerable to you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-most-vulnerable-spot-3105 2009-09-25T13:48:27-05:00 When you are handling money, always take the high road. Don't see how close to the edge of integrity you can play - see how far you can stay from the edge - always erring on the side of taking too many precautions. Money seems to have spiritual power - and Satan knows it. He has used the abuse of it - or just naive carelessness with it - to majorly harm to the name of Christ and the trust of God's people. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/The-Sad-Side-of-Superman-3806 2008-07-30T16:52:47-05:00 There's a Superman Syndrome that most males grow up with. Not that he has to leap tall buildings in a single bound. But if you're a modern male, you've often been made to feel that you should show no pain, no weakness, no tears, no tenderness, no deep feelings. You're always playing a Superman role that says, "I'm fine. I can handle it. I've got everything under control." Then one day all the feelings you've suppressed or denied explode. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/Knowing-What-it-is-to-be-Broke-3824 2008-07-30T16:41:14-05:00 You don't have to go into a prison to find people who are, in the words of that inmate, "broke." There's so much pain today, and so much of it is from broken things - broken family, broken health, broken heart, broken dream, broken relationships, broken trust - you may be "broke." Perhaps, even in spite of a life that's reasonably successful and an outward image that looks fine. You may be one of the millions of the walking wounded ... not sure where to put your pain...where to put your brokenness. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/When-the-Cover-Comes-Off-3860 2008-07-29T15:55:16-05:00 Actually, prayer should be the time when we expose what we don't want anyone to see or know. It is meant to be the place where we can be 100% honest and transparent. And when we are, some amazing things can happen. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/When-Our-Towers-Came-Crashing-Down-3874 2008-07-29T15:40:07-05:00 Even without the disturbing events in the news, we all know the feeling of having things we had counted on suddenly gone - a person we love, our job, the collapse of a marriage, a bad report from the doctor. In times like these, we're hungry for something we can anchor to -- for something to sustain us when the bad news is more than we can bear -- for something that will make us feel really safe.
