Paving Over It - #2573
The biggest problem of all - the sin that haunts our past, poisons our present, and threatens our future. Covering it will not work - removing it will. Only Jesus can do that. He's waiting for you to ask Him to.

Fear of death - a Christian perspective
Without Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life, our lives would be ruled by a fear of death. But Jesus has triumphed over death; it is no longer the ultimate end of life, and it no longer hangs over everything we do and think.

Life On Death Row - #2942
God says condemned people can go free - people sentenced to die can, in a moment, have that death penalty canceled and receive the gift of eternal life. How? By putting your total trust in Jesus - Who went to the cross as your substitute, dying your death penalty. In the moment you say, "Jesus, I'm Yours," you have "crossed over from death to life."

The Last Monster In The Dark - #2500
Death, that last monster in the dark pursues us throughout our life, and we know it will ultimately catch us. But you don't ever need to fear that moment again - if you have your hand in the hand of Jesus, the One who has beaten that monster once and for all.

What To Do With The Garbage - #2528
There is no reason to deal with the garbage of your life again. Not when Jesus Christ has shown you what to do with it. Bring all of that garbage up skull hill where it was already dealt with by Jesus, and leave it there.

Sting - a Christian perspective
Death has lost its "sting"--its power--because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Death, physical or spiritual, is no longer a threat to Christians, or anything to be afraid of.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Most Expensive Mistake - #8291 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
NFL player Marquis Cooper was one of four men who set out for a fishing trip off the Gulf Coast of Florida. When they hit rough seas, their boat capsized, and Cooper and a friend never made it back. Sadly, the Coast Guard never received a distress signal from Cooper’s fishing boat. But here’s the sad footnote to the tragedy. Two days before that fatal trip, a friend had urged Cooper to buy a life-saving device that self-activates radio signals when a boat flips over, but he never got what could have saved his life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Your Personal Expiration Date - #8281 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
We just got home from an extended ministry trip, and I checked the date on the milk in the fridge. Oh, the expiration date was a long time ago, and I really hate to chew my milk. The expiration date on some cans in our pantry have probably saved us from some unpleasant dining experiences. Wouldn’t it be something if people came with expiration dates? Actually, we do.

Angel of death - a Christian perspective
Christians are warned not to put God to the test. Those who tested God in the Old Testament suffered the ultimate fate--death at the hands of the angel of death. Their fate is a warning to believers through the ages.
