Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Where Trust is Born - #4359
Wounded, then afraid to trust, and missing a lot of love. That's not just the life story of a dog we know - it's the life story of millions of people. Maybe it's your story. You've been betrayed by people you should have been able to trust - abused, abandoned, deeply hurt. And it's hard for you to trust anyone. You've just been hurt too often.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Bumpy Road to a Beautiful Destination - #4361
Actually, you may be navigating a very bumpy road in your life right now, and you're not enjoying this process much at all. And as you're having to really slow down and to absorb the shocks, it's tempting to turn back, isn't it? But God wants to remind you today of something it is easy to forget when the road is rough: there's something beautiful -- something worth it -- at the end of this difficult journey.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Star Wars - And Our Wars - #4364
Spiritual power you can harness to help you win battles that you can't win with your own resources - that's actually a pretty interesting idea. Of course, our battles aren't about storm troopers or villains with light sabers. We're trying to make a marriage work, to be the parent our child needs us to be, to beat the personal monsters of anger, depression, addiction, selfishness, loneliness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Answer in the Mirror - #4370
That ghost of "not me" really gets around. There are a lot of folks who see almost every problem, every conflict, every mistake that way. Whoever is at fault, it certainly isn't me! Sadly, those folks continue to be the common denominator in one problem after another because they simply cannot see, or admit, their blame for anything.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Flying Through The Dead Zone - #4386
Now you may never fly an airplane, but you probably know about navigating life's dead zones - those times when it seems as if heaven is silent, answers just aren't coming, no one seems to understand, and your feelings are either blah or they're all over the map. It's a lonely season. Maybe it's what you're flying through right now in your life journey.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Telling isn't Trusting - #4587
When Jesus has the problem, you don't have it any more. When you tell Jesus about it, you walk in all bent over with the load, and then you walk out of the throne room still bent over. When you really trust Jesus with it, you walk in bent over, but you walk out standing tall. Why? Because you left your load in Jesus' hands.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Paralyzing Predicaments - #4203
Even though that horse was scared, she was smart enough to let someone help her. Sadly, she was smarter than many of us when we're hurting or in a predicament. Maybe you're struggling with something right now, but you're struggling alone. You're not letting anyone else in to help you - and you're stuck in your problem. Like that horse, you may not be able to move on unless and until you open up to some help.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Deeply Personal - #4204
Dr. Lee wasn't talking about some time-travel experience he'd had. He was talking about his deep feeling that when Jesus was dying on that cross, he was totally identified with what Jesus was doing there. It was his sin Jesus was paying the price for there. The great painter, Rembrandt, must have had that same sense when he painted his rendition of Christ's crucifixion. When his friends pointed out that a man in the crowd there looked like Rembrandt, he replied, "That is me."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Healing Power of Making a Difference - #4210
A new spark, a new spring in his step - what made this almost overnight difference in our friend? WEll, I think it was (at least in part) the prospect of making a difference again! He's been re-energized by having a mission. You know, that might be just what the Doctor - I mean, the Doctor - ordered for someone who's listening right now.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Dynamite Praying - #4211
A prayer meeting and an explosion. You know, maybe those should always go together. Consider the model prayer meeting in Acts 4, beginning with verse 24. It's our word for today from the Word of God. The powerful council that had arranged for Jesus' crucifixion has now ordered Jesus' disciples to shut up about Jesus - or else. Peter and John reported this to the believers - a very volatile situation. Here was their response.
