There's a sign on your life. It doesn't say like it did on the house that I bought: "Sold." The sign on your life and mine says: Bought. You are a purchased person. You belong to the person who paid for you. Are you living that way? Are you living for the One who gave His life so you could have hope, so you could have a life, so your life could have meaning, so you could have an eternity in heaven, who paid with His life for yours? Clone or Original - #6825http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/clone-or-original-68252013-03-08T09:17:30-05:00
Be yourself! Relax! Be the person that God made for a unique role that you are destined to fulfill. You compare with somebody else? You'll never get off the ground. You try to copy someone else, and you will never be the person you were created to be. Addicts Need a Meeting - #6804http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/addicts-need-a-meeting-68042013-02-07T09:38:35-05:00
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. Your Share of the Load - #6798http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/your-share-of-the-load-67982013-01-30T09:46:44-05:00
God has a part of His load for you to carry. No child of God is exempt. "To whom much is given, much is required." So begin on your knees, "Lord, break my heart for something that breaks Yours." Take some ownership for one of those needs. And what will God do with your willing heart? I don't know, but He'll make your life bigger as you get beyond caring about what just concerns you. Very Deep, But Very Dead - #6794http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/very-deep-but-very-dead-67942013-01-24T09:41:53-05:00
Start a spiritual diary, and in it write two things: what did I read today; what is God saying here and put it in your own words...not Bible words. And then, what am I going to do differently today because of what He said?" The Bible isn't just to be mastered. It's to be obeyed. Intent, Not Tentative - #6789http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/intent-not-tentative-67892013-01-17T10:04:54-05:00
One of Jim Elliott's mottos went like this (you ready?), "Wherever you are, be all there." Somebody may have said to you, "You're not all there." Well, yes, wherever you are, be all there. If you've got something to do anyway, why not do it with all you've got? If you've got to be there, why not be there with all your heart? Being a Winning Head Coach - #6787http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/being-a-winning-head-coach-67872013-01-15T10:07:16-05:00
Start spending some time getting your family together spiritually and getting with the Lord together. Get them in the Lord's presence together. The only way you can fail at this is to not try. Temple Treasure - #6784http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/temple-treasure-67842013-01-10T13:07:10-05:00
In a sense, what you do with that body - everything you do with it - God is a part of. He lives in that temple. Everything you do to that body, you do to God. Drawing a Line - #6783http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/drawing-a-line-67832013-01-09T10:07:17-05:00
We're to measure ourselves by the God-breathed scriptures of the Lord himself. If you turn the light of God's Word on your lifestyle, maybe you'll see how far you've drifted. You just can't move any more. We've got to get back to God's standards for love, for marriage, for honesty, for family, our relationships. A Thousand Unsung Mornings - #6777http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/a-thousand-unsung-mornings-67772013-01-03T11:22:47-05:00
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.
