Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Singular Love - #4431
It really makes a difference when you focus the warmth of the sun on one spot. It really makes a difference when you focus the warmth of your love on one person. Especially if that person is the life partner you have or one of the children God has entrusted to you. The question for today isn't whether you love your family - I'm sure you do. The question is this: does each member of your family feel loved by you? Now, that may depend on how much focused love they get from you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Paralysis of Analysis - #4217
There are a lot of folks who have a little bit of Tevye in them - always analyzing, often not reaching any conclusion. I'm a data-based decision maker, and I like to weigh all the information I can before making a decision or a commitment. And that's a good thing. Until it paralyzes you. Until it keeps you from exercising the one thing the Bible says you have to have to please God - faith.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Entertainitis - #4185
This may have been the first known case of entertainitis - an interest in following Jesus as long as it's easy to take, as long as it's fun. I didn't really realize how shallow our faith is until I met Christians in other countries. They know how to pray powerfully and extensively. They're hungry, not for jokes and stories, but for solid Biblical teaching. They're interested in the substance of Christianity, not the style of the speaker. While we're having socials, they're having revivals! While we accept mediocrity, they're expecting miracles.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Amazing View Up Close - #4192
Sadly, there are people - even good church people - who go through their life never realizing the magnitude of the God they belong to. He's nice, but they never see how big He really is. Because they never get close enough to Him to experience His amazingness. Their God is too small - so their life is too small.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Checking Your Cargo - #3828
Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Matthew 12:34-35. Here's what Jesus says. "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him." Jesus suggests sort of a spiritual EKG here, to show what's going on in your heart. Just listen to how you talk, what you talk about. Your words continually betray what your heart is really full of. We unload verbally whatever cargo we have to give.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Breaking Point and the Breakthrough - #3835
That experience - of reaching the breaking point and then experiencing the breakthrough - pretty much described little Jordan's birth, and millions of other births, and millions of other breakthroughs in people's lives. Just when the pain has become almost unbearable, just when you think you can't do this anymore - that's when something wonderful is born.

D.L. Moody : Believe
Have faith in God! Take Him at His word! Believe what He says! Believe the record God has given of His Son! I can imagine some of you saying, "I want to, but I have not got the right kind of faith." What kind of faith do you want? Now, the idea that you want a different kind of faith...
