Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Marking Generations - #4863
When you're deciding who you're going to marry, you're actually deciding who's going to shape your children, and who will in turn, shape their children with what they got from you and your spouse, and who will, in turn - well, you get the idea.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - What They Forgot to Tell Us Providers - #4864
God has established the man as provider, but of much more than a roof and groceries. It's clear that he's to provide emotionally and spiritually for his wife - to nurture her, to love and support and encourage her - helping her become "radiant."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Finding Your Father - #4190
In my lifetime, I've known many people who have come from a very rough background ... sometimes a fatherless background - either because they never knew their father or the one they had never acted like one. I've known people who have come from a background where they never really felt like they belonged - and they still don't. Maybe I've just described you in some way.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Bumper Car Families - #4959
That's what every family needs - someone who blows the trumpet to get that group of separated people together regularly. You have to set a time and place and make it happen. If it doesn't, people leave home with dangerous unmet needs that were supposed to be met at home; the need for closeness, for attention, for encouragement, for affection. And you have to be together for those needs to be met!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Finding the Father You've Missed - #5001
Tragically, so many people have gone to the door looking for a real father, and no one was there. Or the man who was there hardly lived up to that word "father." We live in a world where more and more people are living with a "daddy deficit" down deep in their heart because of the father they needed but never had.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Save Your Child - #5009
When we choose instead to try to control our daughter or son, we start using approaches that are more likely to ruin their life than to run it. We nag. We shame. We manipulate. We know the child we wanted, and we do whatever we can to shape him or her into that child instead of celebrating the child God gave us and nurturing who that child is; not trying to re-create him into something they're not.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Pilot Strike Mess - #5014
Behind so many rebellious children, behind so many resentful or dominant or negative women is a man who is not being a man. Not some chest-beating tyrant, but a real man like Jesus: taking moral leadership, involving God in every aspect of the family's life, being tender when it's time to be tender and firm when it's time to be firm, showing love and compassion and mercy, leading his family to God - to His love and His answers.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Taking Attendance - #5057
The years when our kids are taking attendance don't last long. Let's make sure we're there for the moments that really count. Your son or daughter is checking the stands to see if you are really there.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One Stone at a Time - #5068
I think we've got something to learn from an Indian father two generations ago. He knew that he could not build a home quickly. He just added a little bit to it each day. Well, that's the way we should all build our home, our family, adding one more stone today, and then again tomorrow, and the day after that. And one day, you will be able to stand back and admire what God and you built together, one stone, one day at a time.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to be a Hero Where it Counts - #5072
You don't hammer them all the time with what's wrong with them. Believe me, they already know. What they need from their father is consistent praise for what's good about them; their personal strengths, their personal abilities, their positive qualities. If you can't see them, they never will. And a Dad who raises a child who feels like they're never good enough is no hero at all.
