Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Turning Lights Green - #4231
The driver of that Critical Care Van is, of course, on an important mission - and he needs green lights all the way. So do we, if we're carrying out a mission that's been given to us by our Lord. He's got assignments for all of us who belong to Him. He's got assignments for you. Maybe you're living out His assignment right now, or maybe you're holding back on saying "yes" to an assignment He's trying to give you. In either case, there's something decisive you need to know.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Painful Road to Beauty - #4618
Now why would we rejoice and be thankful for the hard things we're going through? Because we understand they're the process by which the glory comes, by which the hope comes.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Getting Back What You Lost - #4241
Imagine the mess I would have been in without the passport. And I didn't even know I had lost it. There are lots of things in life like that - valuable things that we lose without ever realizing at the time what we've lost until it's too late. Treasures like your reputation, your virginity, a clean conscience, your marriage, a valued relationship, your sense of worth, people's trust in you. We did the wrong thing because of what we thought we could gain by sinning. We never realized what we would lose.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Sweet Celebration of the Loyal Fans - #4243
It's true in sports; it's true in life. Victory is sweetest for those who were loyal through it all. Like Mary Magdalene - in our word for today from the Word of God, taken directly from the glorious Easter story. Mary had been there at the cross, when all but one of Jesus' disciples had disappeared like scared rabbits. She had gone to the tomb for his burial. And now, after having been, along with some friends, the first one at Jesus' tomb that early Sunday morning, she just can't leave. She has found the tomb empty and now sunk to even greater despair, believing that someone has now stolen her Master's body.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Already Yours - #4250
Somewhere along the way, I realized I was looking at a picture of me and God as I looked at what was going on between me and my son. And I learned a powerful lesson about how prayer really works. As you're in the middle of praying for some things that you really need God to do right now, maybe the same lesson will be an encouragement to you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - What You Need to Win - #4268
For the battles you're facing, that's a pretty good question for you to be answering - "Do you have what you need to win?" Which may very well raise a good question on your end - "What exactly do I need to win?"

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Unsung Heroes - #4287
The army of God has plenty of unsung heroes, too. Probably at least nine of them for every one who's on the front lines, and you may be one of those unsung heroes. But because you're unsung, you may not realize what a hero you are. But without people like you, the operations of the army of God grind to a halt.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Same Old Baggage - #4778
Why does Jesus ask us if we want to get well? Because sometimes we're afraid to change. We've gotten used to playing the victim role, the loser role. We've settled into an identity that revolves around that same old baggage.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Wrong Number Breakdown - #4791
We can't understand what it takes to reach God until we understand what it is that keeps us from being able to reach Him. We have this wall between God and us called sin - which means we've made ourselves our own god by choosing to do it our way instead of God's. And we have earned an eternal death penalty, which only one person even claimed to pay, could pay. God's Son, Jesus, loved you enough to do the dying for your sin on His cross.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why it Doesn't Have to Be the Way it's Always Been - #4801
Because of what Jesus did, things don't always have to be like they've always been. When you open your life to Jesus, God's Rescuer from our sin, you receive His supernatural power to beat the darkness inside you.
