Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Dark Closet - #4552
You've hidden it, but the sin and the price and the guilt continue to grow behind that door. It's going to be tough to open that closet and deal with what's in there. But it's going to be a whole lot tougher not to. It's haunted you. It's shamed you. It's shackled you long enough. Jesus is right there with you to help you open that door, and to once and for all get rid of the awful secret behind it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Beautiful Scars - #4592
He turns trouble for us into comfort for others. He's the God of all compassion. He's the God of all comfort. If we open up our scars, and our hurt and our pain to Him for the rest of our lives, He gives us something to give other people who are hurting. In other words, in God's skillful hands, the ugly can become something beautiful.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Moving With the Quake - #4700
The Bible acknowledges that we will make plans; the question is whether those plans are rigid - if we're rigid about having it our way. That "but" after the part about our plans tells me that God has the right to pre-empt my plan, or delay my plan, or redirect my plan. After all, that's what "Lord" means. Often He leads us toward a certain outcome, only to surprise us with an interruption, or with the realization that He did want us on this road, but for a destination other than the one we expected.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Banish the Darkness - #4807
Celebrate Jesus and you evacuate the devil, who can't stand even the name of Jesus. Because it is at that name that he and all his demons must one day bow in total surrender, because the devil's death warrant is signed in the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. So in those times when the darkness seems to be closing in, you can literally praise the darkness away.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Love That Cannot Let You Go - #4820
If we don't get rescued, we'll end up separated from God and His love forever. That's the penalty for spiritual hijacking - taking over a life that God was supposed to direct. So whether or not you realize the spiritual danger you're in, your only hope is a rescuer. And there is one - only one. He doesn't want to leave you lost.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You've Fallen and You Can't Get Up - #5036
Satan succeeds in keeping you down with the "What's the use?" lie when you make a fatal mistake. You focus on you instead of the One who died so you can be free.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Small Leaks - #5177
Honestly, now, where is the small spiritual leak in your life? Maybe it's just a small financial compromise, a little lie, a little flirtation with sexual sin, or some small fantasies that are setting you up for a major mistake. Maybe you're dating someone you know you shouldn't be, you're watching or listening to input that's slowly wearing down your resistance to sin. Or maybe it's just a little gossip, a little complaining, a little bad attitude, a little spiritual vacation.
But little leaks like those are big enough for you to start taking on the water that can sink you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Taming the Final Frontier - #4019
I’d say that idea is close, but not the prize winner. The last frontier isn’t outer space – in fact, it’s inner space ... what’s inside you and me. Which includes our imagination, but plenty more. God’s view would seem to be that the “last frontier is the human heart.” That is the vast and violent wilderness that remains untamed inside us. And it’s usually the people closest to us who can attest to the fact that our dark side is alive and well – and yes, it’s untamed. They get to see and feel it all too often.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Healing Edge - #4032
There's this infection that every human being on this planet is fighting - it's actually a spiritual infection. This spiritual cancer is called "sin" in the Bible - and it can kill your future, your reputation, your marriage, your joy, your closeness to God. And, if it isn't cured, it can ultimately kill you forever by keeping you out of God's heaven.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Covering, Not Cleaning - #4033
We think it's gross that people would cover a mess like that rather than cleaning it up. Maybe we know a little about how God feels when we do the very same thing. When we're doing something wrong, we'd far rather cover it up than clean it up. But the mess and the stench just keep growing.
