Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Who's on in Prime Time? - #4180
Let's take your personal time with Jesus, for example. Now, if we're going to seek first what matters to Jesus, wouldn't that make our time with Him a primary item in our daily schedule? You've got no more important thing in your life than Jesus. Do you have Him on in prime time or stuffed in some sleepy, rushed, crummy corner of your life's broadcast schedule?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Entertainitis - #4185
This may have been the first known case of entertainitis - an interest in following Jesus as long as it's easy to take, as long as it's fun. I didn't really realize how shallow our faith is until I met Christians in other countries. They know how to pray powerfully and extensively. They're hungry, not for jokes and stories, but for solid Biblical teaching. They're interested in the substance of Christianity, not the style of the speaker. While we're having socials, they're having revivals! While we accept mediocrity, they're expecting miracles.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - You Leave or You Lose - #4735
Your life now belongs to Jesus. And because anyone who loved you enough to die for you will not do you wrong. If He's asking you to leave behind the known for the unknown, don't miss your destiny by holding on. Remember, those who never get out of the boat never know what it is to walk on water!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Banning the Poison that Brings You Down - #4894
Maybe you struggle with why the old you keeps coming back and taking over - the "you" that you hate, that brings you down, that hurts your relationship with your Savior. Could it be that your dark side keeps winning because you keep feeding it with influences that keep pushing the same old sinful buttons? You've got to starve what you want to die!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Standing Out in the Cold - #4961
You can just outright reject Jesus. You can ignore Jesus, pushing Him to the margins for other pursuits. You can postpone Jesus - you'll get around to Him someday. You can agree with Jesus - believing everything you've been told about Him. Or you can commit yourself completely to Jesus. Four of those five responses end the same place - out in the cold, now and forever. Only one leads to heaven: giving yourself to Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The High Price of Hurrying - #4962
When you commit your way to the Lord, when you're really trusting in Him, you are also submitting yourself to His timing - which almost always means waiting patiently.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One-Way Love - #4976
It's possible to appreciate Jesus' death on the cross, to respect Him for doing it, even to be grateful for it and still miss the only response that really matters to Him - the only response that makes what He did for you on the cross really yours.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Discount Disciples - #4999
The way of Jesus that we claim to walk today was, indeed, very expensive for those first Christians; for millions who have suffered or died for the name of Jesus in every generation, including our own. And it cost Jesus everything. So who am I - who are we - that we should get off cheap?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Wrapping Jesus in Hard Words - #5122
You don't just transmit the Gospel, you have to translate it. It's unacceptable that people may miss Jesus because you didn't put it in words they can understand. American church folks speak a language I call Christianese. And sometimes I'm not sure we even understand what some of our words mean!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Getting Hammered - #5124
The incredibly hot temperature of the gold refiner's fire isn't to melt the gold or destroy the gold. It's to burn away the junk, and that increases the value of the gold. Now if the trying time you're going through is actually one of God's hammers, you need to know that it isn't to break you. It's to make you more pure, more valuable, more useable than ever before. God's hammer is to build you into something better, not to tear you down.
