Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Most Important Arrangements You'll Ever Make - #4861
We generally try to avoid thinking about death as much as possible. Until we're looking in the casket at someone we've just lost. It's hard to look face-to-face at death like that and not think about, "Where will I be when it's me there?" This isn't about being morbid. It's about being ready. If I know I'm prepared for something that's coming up, I don't have to keep thinking about it. It's settled. There's nothing more critical for you to settle than your eternal destination. Avoiding those arrangements carries a price too high to pay.

Traditional Chinese The Start of Mans Sadness
Chinese: Eve is tempted by Satan through the serpent. She takes fruit from the forbidden tree & gives some to Adam, who eats it. This 1st sin brings death. Adam & Eve are sent out of the Garden of Eden, & an angel with a flaming sword guards it. Their 1st son, Cain, kills their 2nd son, Able.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why God Sends the Storm - #4891
Could it be that the storm that's hit you lately - the storm that even threatens to break up your ship - is God's tool to drive you into His arms? Not because He's mad at you, but because He loves you - enough to send His Son, Jesus, to take all the punishment for all your sin. But you've been running from the man who died for you. But God loves you too much to lose you. He doesn't want you to keep running from His love until time suddenly runs out - forever. So He's sent this storm - something you can't control and you can't fix, so you'd finally realize how very much you need Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Hand You Never Outgrow - #4950
The hand of Jesus is reaching to you right now. Look closely and you'll see nail prints in that hand. They're there because of the price He paid to tear down the wall between you and God - His brutal death on the cross to pay the death penalty for your sins. Now He waits to forgive you; to be the one constant in your life and your eternity - no matter what changes.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When it's More Than You Can Carry - #4998
What will it take for the weight on you to be lifted? You'll have to reverse what you learned from "The Little Engine That Could" and say those liberating words, "I think I can't." That moment of surrender makes you desperate for what God and God alone can do. And desperation is the condition with which God can do the most.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Plastic Wars - #5046
Some of us are pretty aloof from other believers because we're more spiritual than they are; at least by our definition of spirituality. Some of us are getting all worn out on plastic wars; fighting fiercely over issues that make us miss the dying people all around us. The doctrine is very important. Righteous behavior is very important. But we just dare not lose sight of the greatest battle of all, which is the battle for eternal souls - for people's lives.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Life's Two Columns - #5153
Paul's troubles did not defeat him or discourage him because he had figured out the difference between what matters and what doesn't. The things that matter are the things that last - they're eternal. And those are the things that you can never lose. If you keep your focus on those things, you can be knocked down but you can't be knocked out.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Loving Knockout Punch - #5158
Powerless moments are the moments when we finally do what we should have done all along. We surrender to our Lord. Like that drowning girl, we still want to get there on our own. But we're drowning. We often can't be rescued until God gives us a loving knockout punch.
