2010-03-16T09:29:16-05:00 GCI info@gospel.com http://www.gospel.com/feeds/topics/your+mission http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-answer-in-the-mirror-6047 2010-03-16T09:29:16-05:00 I saw a simple, but profound little sentence on a church sign recently. It said, "God, I have a problem. It's me." That kind of prayer is the only place some of us are ever going to find any healing, any happiness, or any peace. Not "I have a problem - it's them," but "it's me." That admission can save a marriage, a relationship with a child, the unity of a church or a ministry, or a relationship that's too valuable to lose. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-most-important-question-about-the-road-you-re-on-6043 2010-03-10T10:36:08-05:00 The only way to get to heaven is to be totally depending on Jesus Christ to get you there. It means abandoning all other hopes of getting to God and to heaven and fully trusting the one way God provided - Jesus, His one and only Son. If you've never reached out to Him and given yourself to Him, you're in grave spiritual danger, no matter how sincere you may be in whatever else you're depending on. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-difference-between-list-and-death-6041 2010-03-08T09:23:20-05:00 Today, the nail-pierced hand of heaven's Rescuer is reaching for you. The nail prints are there because He had to die so you could live; taking the penalty for your sin on that awful cross. And this day, you have to make your choice about Him. How do you grab His hand? You say, "Jesus, I've done it my way long enough. You died for my sin. I am Yours." In that moment, you're saved, you're rescued, and you're safe. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-amazing-reason-why-you-are-where-you-are-6036 2010-03-02T11:48:46-05:00 There's an eternal reason why you are where you are occupationally, geographically, situationally, parentally, physically, emotionally, maybe even medically. You've been given a stretch of spiritual beach where Jesus has assigned you as the lifeguard, and you can be sure there are spiritually drowning people there within your reach. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/driving-hard-on-the-wrong-road-6037 2010-03-02T11:42:35-05:00 The Bible reveals that many people are driving on a road they think will get them to God and that will get them heaven, but there's no way it's going to get them home. However sincere they may be in believing they're on the right road, they are, in God's eyes, totally lost. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/when-your-life-is-drifting-6034 2010-02-25T09:31:26-05:00 "Drifting" may be a word that describes a little of how you feel about your life right now. You can be successful but not satisfied. You can be winning but still wondering what your life is all about. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/fruit-with-seeds-6032 2010-02-23T09:47:10-05:00 Isn't it time you start bearing some fruit, like people who will be in heaven because you helped them know how? And God's plan is that we reproduce our own kind. That moms introduce other moms to Jesus, that students introduce other students to Jesus, golfers point golfers to Christ, businesspeople reach other businesspeople, wounded people lead other wounded people to the Savior. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/how-nice-people-miss-heaven-6031 2010-02-22T11:20:55-05:00 Jesus died to cancel from God's records every sin of every day of your life; erased by the blood He shed for those sins. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/how-we-flock-to-destruction-6028 2010-02-17T15:02:54-05:00 Your religion won't take you to heaven. Only Jesus can do that because only Jesus died to remove the sin that will keep you out of heaven. Only Jesus rose from the dead to be a living Savior for you. The question isn't, "What religion are you?" It's "What are you counting on as the reason God will let you into His heaven?" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-proof-you-are-loved-6026 2010-02-17T14:58:46-05:00 I can't think of a greater tragedy, a greater mistake for you to make, than for you to miss what Jesus gave His life for you to have - for you to end up paying the eternal price that Jesus already paid for you. How does that happen? If you don't reach out and take by faith what He died to give you.
