Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Children of the Quake - #8067
I’ve worked with an awful lot of young people over the years and they’ve struggled to live a life that matters because of the trauma they’ve experienced in the quake in their family—the anger and the conflict and the attacks and the names they’ve been called.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Great Splitter-Upper - #5234
Favoritism inevitably leads to conflict; it leads to bitterness, and even to trying to get even and a loss of respect for the leader who is showing that partiality.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Lessons That Shape Your Child's Life - #5240
Children learn what they live, for better or for worse. For all our words as parents, it's ultimately what our children live that makes them into the people they become. And God doesn't give a human being any greater trust, any greater responsibility than the shaping of a person He made in His image.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Living Proof - #3832
Our word for today from the Word of God, Deuteronomy 6:5-7. This is instructions for parents who are trying to raise children in a morally confusing, increasingly pagan culture. That was the situation in the time this statement was written - it's the situation today. And God's parenting strategy? Oh, it's still the same, too.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Really Amazing Grace - #3836
I've even had people confide to me a feeling I would call testimony envy - the sense that I almost got cheated because I didn't have a lot of really sinful sin to be saved from. Well, maybe "amazing grace" doesn't seem all that amazing to you because you weren't much of a "wretch." Well, His grace is just as amazing for you - and in some ways more amazing - as it is for the person who was dramatically lost and dramatically found.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Parents Hardest Job - #3837
There's that hard word - "leave." Ultimately, your son or daughter is supposed to leave you. Which tells us that our children are not ours to keep. And our mission from God: to prepare our children to leave us - to live without us. Not to make them tied to us, always dependent on us.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Business Re-creating - #5307
A jeweler shouldn't try to re-create a piece of jewelry into something else when the one who trusted it to him just wanted him to enhance what it already was. We understand that about jewelry, but often we don't seem to understand that about the child God has entrusted to us! God gave them to us to enhance what He made them to be, and we keep trying to make them into something else - what we want them to be!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Substitute for a Daddy - #5321
If you've been trusted by God with the awesome assignment of being a father, don't ever forget that there's nothing that can take your place in the life of your son or daughter. No matter how young or how old they are.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One Safe Place - #3885
The world's gotten pretty stormy lately, hasn't it? There's a lot of uncertainty, anxiety, even fear about what the future holds. We need a harbor - a place where we can be safe while the storm rages around us. And there can be one. Our word for today from the Word of God talks about it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Looking at Something Better - #3887
God is calling godly parents to play offense, not just defense, in a spiritually hostile culture. Don't just try to keep your children from touching wrong things - help them look in the other direction and find better things to experience - God's things!
