Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Glory of Rainy Days - #4583
The more it rains in your life, the greener you get spiritually, the more alive. That's what rain does, that's what pain does, and that's what suffering does. It's the greening of us. You might need to know that right now because, man, is it raining in your life. You're going through a very long, very stormy time, and maybe it's been a while since you've seen the sun.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Night Blooming - #4640
There's a new beauty in Him that comes only through the night. Your pain has given you a new tenderness and a new compassion. You have a deep peace that is known only by those who have walked through the valley with Jesus. And there is this unexplainable radiance of one who has been tapping into the central power of God to make it through each new day.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Something Broken at Christmas - #4685
Sin killed Jesus. He absorbed our death penalty for our sin to remove the wall between us and the God whose love we need so much. And the broken things in your life are a painful reminder of your deep heart need for a love and a security that you can't lose. Only God can give you that.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How Your Life - and Your Death - Can Really Count - #4742
If you haven't lived to show Christ to people, your death really can't lift Him up. The death of a man or a woman who has really lived passionately for Christ can have such incredible meaning - helping others be in heaven with you. But a life not lived for Christ just can't have that kind of meaning. Death destroys every reason for living but one - living for Jesus and what matters to Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Refusing to Move, Losing it All - #4746
Is any place in life worth holding onto when it's going to cost you your life ... eternal life? Don't miss Jesus because you won't move. He left heaven and went to that horrible cross for you. And because of that, He's your only chance at heaven and at the life you were made for here on earth.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Life-Saving Pain - #4751
God has built into our soul a capacity to feel guilty when we do something wrong. We might call guilt moral pain. Feeling guilty, and feeling shame over what we have or haven't done, feeling dirty inside - those are not nice feelings. But they are God's alarm to deal with what's wrong before it causes greater pain, or even spiritual death.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - An Open Door for Locked-Out People - #4294
Unfortunately, that locked-out feeling isn't unique to a child who can't get in. Many of us grownup children know that feeling all too well. Maybe you've felt locked out much of your life - excluded, abandoned, unheard, unnoticed. You've been hurting, but no one seems to respond.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Killer Tide - #4797
Sin always kills. The tsunami tide of sin's consequences can sweep away a marriage, the trust people had in you, your position, your reputation, your self-respect, your closeness to God. When you plunge into that attractive opportunity, you have no idea of the shame, the guilt, and the hurt that will follow.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When There's Nothing Left to Hold - #4805
It's a fact of life. We will ultimately lose whatever or whoever we've been hanging onto except for the love of Jesus Christ, poured out on that cross. It's not just a cross. It is the only anchor that will be there when there's nothing else to hold onto.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Bigger Purpose Than You Ever Dreamed - #4822
Just like Esther, just like Ashley Smith, you have been divinely positioned to save the lives of people you live close to, work with, go to school with. God does these life-saving divine match-ups as He did that amazing night in Ashley Smith's apartment. He puts you with people who can be reached by someone like you, however unqualified you may feel you are.
