Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Prince Caspian-The Strange Credentials of a Leader - #8073
A first step to a life that matters and to powerful leadership is the admission you can’t do it; you’re not enough. That’s when God is free to pour out His competence, His wisdom, His leadership.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Super-Sized Praying - #4173
Now, at the fast food restaurant, you know they'll ask you if you want to "super-size" your fries or your drink - you know, go for something bigger. I think it's time we "super-size" the way we pray - in light of the size of the One we are praying to! He's the God who invites us to "come boldly to the throne of grace." (Hebrews 4:16) That's the throne room from which 125 billion galaxies are governed! Do you pray like that?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Surprising Secret of a Real Man - #4176
Virtually every guy has been told some where in his life, "Be a man!" But by whose definition? Is it your biceps that make you a man, your bank account, your bedroom exploits, being the boss? If you want to know what manhood is really all about, consult the Inventor of manhood - God. If you go by His definition, you get Designer Manhood - and that's the real thing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Last Frontier in You - #4183
God says that when it comes to the untamed areas of our personal lives, the tongue is the last frontier! He acknowledges that we stumble in many ways, but then He elevates controlling this one particular kind of sin to the position of Proof #1 that a person is really grown up spiritually, proof that the Lordship of Christ is conquering the deepest corners of a person's rebellious heart. That's when his faith has reached "what he says."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Incredibles - #4892
Your heart's telling you that there's got to be more. And there is - much more. Don't settle for ordinary anymore! Lay down "business as usual" and tell Jesus you're ready to step up to what He made you for, what He saved you for!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Living in the "WOW" Zone - #4984
Maybe our first word when we pray should be "wow!" realizing just Who we're with - the Sovereign Lord of 100 billion galaxies, the object of worship of angels who number 10,000 times 10,000. The people and beings in heaven are with Him everyday, but they are constantly on their knees and their faces before Him. And they cannot get over the price the Son of God paid for us. Neither should we.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Pushing the Goal, Missing the Process - #5022
If you're like me, you're focused on the result you need: the money, the life partner, the healing, the place to live, the job, the change, the answer! You're in a hurry to get to the top of the mountain. But God, the God whose ways are perfect, is asking you to slow down and enjoy the hike, let the process be beautiful, not just the destination.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Only Delivering - #5023
There's something that God is preparing that He wants you to deliver. Next time you feel like bragging about it or copping out, remember - you don't cook it. You just deliver it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Star Wars - and Our Wars - #5025
We don't need some impersonal force that doesn't really exist. We need a living Savior! The power of Jesus is demonstrated, above all else, by His empty grave there on Easter morning. He walked out of His grave under His own power! If He can conquer death, the darkness that has stopped every other person who's ever lived, He can conquer the darkness inside you!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Renewing Fire - #5070
We tend to be fairly casual about our sin. We excuse it, we minimize it, we resign ourselves to it, we tolerate our sin, we cover it, but Jesus doesn't take our sin casually. It killed Him. If you love Him, you've got to destroy the things that destroyed Him.
