Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Lessons That Shape Your Child's Life
Children learn what they live, for better or for worse. It's ultimately what our children live that makes them into the people they become. God doesn't give a human being any greater trust or any greater responsibility than the shaping of a person He made in His image. Our children are, as one author described them, "wet cement." What they experience with us day after day is writing things in that cement that will mark their lives long after we're gone.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How a Thermometer Becomes a Thermostat
You are either a thermometer or you're a thermostat. Thermometer people tend to reflect the temperature of the people around them. "If you're hot, I'm hot. If you're cool, I'm cool. If you're nice, I'm nice. If you yell, I will yell." What most of us would like to be is a thermostat—someone who controls the temperature in our situation.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Price Within Your Reach
Have you ever noticed what happens when airlines lower their fares? First one airline declares a price war, and by the end of the day, everybody is having a sale. It’s great! ... People who were not going to fly anywhere are suddenly booking tickets. Hank, who never flies, is now flying to see his cousin because he can’t pass up the deal. Dave and his wife are traveling to California to see their granddaughter, whom they thought they wouldn’t see for a long time. People gobble up these lowered fares in a couple of days, and the phones practically melt down at the airlines. Why? Because the discounts bring something within reach that we could otherwise never afford, and we act on it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Superman is Breakable
Half of the human race has been raised to believe that they need to be Superman. The world thinks guys have it together, we feel no pain, and we've got it under control. As a man, you know there's a "real you" behind the mask. ... You're a wounded warrior, bleeding a lot on the inside, or maybe a scared little boy inside underneath a mask of macho confidence. The truth is you don't have it all under control. Superman, in reality, is breakable.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Silent Guys
Barber shops are really "Guy's World" because you don't usually see many females and you won't find much talking. If you ask most women, part of the problem in relationships is this guy thing called "not much talking", or at least not much talking about what's really going on inside. Guys will talk about work, sports, cars, and other "stuff", but too many men just don't talk much about what they're feeling, what they need, what's hurting, what they're hoping for, or what's wrong.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No One to Welcome
It's a pretty sad feeling when you prepare a big welcome and the one you did it for never comes. You've gone through so much to make it perfect just for them. ... Jesus knows that feeling. He's prepared a welcome home, an expensive welcome, for some people who have never come.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - In Search of the Anchor
People everywhere are searching for something to fill a void in their lives. They are searching for something to count on that will provide an anchor in an increasingly uncertain and unpredictable world. ... An author named Faith Popcorn writes, "The search for life's anchor is a must for filling the void that so many are feeling. We're looking for ourselves, our lost souls. A relationship with the Divine may be the ultimate expression of anchoring."
