Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Open a Closed Door - #4288
Interestingly enough, the way you get that automatic door to open is often the way to get God to open a door for you. You have to start moving in that direction. You have to start walking toward it before it will open.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - From His Hand to Yours - #4759
God has trusted each of us with some gifts from His hand. If it's not material things, it may well be personal traits, personal abilities or influence that are just as valuable, or more valuable than money. Whatever you've been given, who are you using it for? For your advancement, your agenda, or God's agenda and the advancement of His kingdom?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Slippery Slope Called Success - #4787
When you're looked to, when you've got a position of influence and authority, it's easy to start believing that you don't have to play by all the rules - that you have the right to do some things, to cut some corners, to take some liberties that others don't have. It's part of why success is so dangerous and why success has ruined so many people.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Blue Ribbon Performance - #4136
What the church did was so cool - they gave every child a blue ribbon. They rewarded their effort, not their performance. That's how their Boss does rewards - not their pastor - their Master, Jesus. And if you've been feeling that you don't measure up, that you're a loser compared to some winners you know, you need to look at yourself through your Lord's eyes for a while and see what He sees when He looks at you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Return to Sender - #4168
Without being told, our little guy understands that some of what he has isn't for him - it's for helping other people hear about Jesus. The secret here is that he's only giving back to the person who gave it to him in the first place. Just like us - when we give to the work of God on earth. We're just giving it back to the one who gave it to us in the first place.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Money Magnet - #5629
The ultimate financial adviser, Jesus, said to pour everything you can into what matters in heaven; getting the Gospel of Jesus to people who have no hope without Him; advancing God's work on earth; meeting the needs of the hurting and the helpless people. Every dollar given in Jesus' name for lost people or hurting people is credited directly to your account in heaven where you will reap the dividends forever.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Unpacking Before You Get Home - #5048
You don't carry it all in the door with you. You kind of unpack all the people of your day and, as they say, focus on the family. Leave your work at work and get ready to be with your family - not just around your family, but with your family.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Bible Bloating - #5073
You're not supposed to just factualize what God says, you're supposed to actualize what God says by consciously putting it into practice in some part of your life today. You are reading to change!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Dream Boss - #5083
Your work is going to be for the approval of Jesus, looking past your human boss right over his or her shoulder and seeing Jesus there. So that means if you're cooking french fries, you're going to say, "I'm going to be the best french fry cooker they ever had." I'm going to be the best algebra student this algebra teacher has ever seen. Whether I get the best grades or not, I'm going to work as hard as anybody they ever saw. I'm going to be the best shipping clerk, or checkout person, or vice president, or teacher they've ever seen. You'll be known as their hardest worker; one who's on time, who keeps their commitments, who doesn't cut corners, who finishes what they start, who goes the extra mile.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Never Out of Touch - #5182
Here's the life principle: make prayer a lifestyle, not a compartment. It's called "acknowledging the Lord in all your ways" (Proverbs 3:6) - noticing the Lord's presence all through your day. Getting ready in the morning, traveling to work or school, in the house, your car, at your workplace, at a restaurant, a meeting, or as you exercise - getting in touch with your Lord!
