But He turned His back on His Son - who was carrying our sin - so He would never have to turn His back on us. So, "nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). His is the only love in the world that will never disappoint you, never divorce you, never die on you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/something-broken-at-christmas-6508 2011-12-21T12:46:17-05:00 What a Christmas this could be. What a new beginning!

Unresolved anger is always a bad guy in town. And you know what to tell a bad guy, right? "I want you out of here by sundown!" http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/2719 2010-12-11T15:37:43-05:00 Yale University has found that babies as young as six months can: * follow and understand a fictional narrative story * make a moral judgment about the motives of the characters in the story So at an age when they could not have learned these things, we can see that babies are hardwired for both stories and an understanding of right and wrong. Wonder where that came from. Watch the video and read the story. http://internetevangelismday.com/church-growth.php 2010-08-13T12:36:17-05:00 It is not uncommon for church websites to be very inward focused and therefore unable to communicate effectively with outsiders in the community. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/making-the-most-of-it-5931 2009-10-05T09:31:01-05:00 Look, you may not like the situation you're in right now, your location, your singleness, your sickness, your job, your church. But instead of lamenting your spot, God wants you to experience the wonderful joy and contentment that comes from saying, "Hey, I'm here. I'm going to be here for a while. I'm going to make the most of it!" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-battle-for-the-beachhead-2943 2009-10-01T15:13:38-05:00 The battle for the beachhead may be raging around you right now. Hold your ground, soldier. You're not losing - or the enemy wouldn't bother with you. You're on your way to some of the greatest victories of your life! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205:15&version=NIV 2009-09-10T14:10:44-05:00 Paul tells the Thessalonians to make sure no one involves themselves in petty revenge, trying to payback wrong for wrong. Instead we should strive for kindness towards everyone. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Sincerely-Wrong-5681 2008-10-24T11:14:28-05:00 the key to being rescued by the only Rescuer God sent is to grab Him like a drowning person would grab a lifeguard. You may be sincerely devoted to your church, your spirituality or your religion but sincerity in the wrong way is still fatal. The way to life is to abandon all other hopes of getting to God and putting all your trust in Jesus to forgive you and to take you to heaven. Anything else, anything less, is a road to death. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Major-League-Mistakes-8120 2008-10-20T12:46:58-05:00 It stinks to have people only remember your mistakes, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, that may be the very thing we’re doing to some people we love without even knowing it—your kids, your friends, your spouse, your co-workers.
