Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Best Place For A Party - #4045
We often told our children the very best place of all to have a party going on. So does our word for today from the Word of God. It's in Proverbs 15:15. The Bible says, "The cheerful heart has a continual feast." You see, if you carry the party inside you, then life can be a pretty joyful experience - for you and for the people around you. A "continual feast" God calls it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The "Others" Factor - #4083
It's interesting how responsibility can change the way we live - or how it should change the way we live. Like a certain skiing father I know, you do some things differently when you start thinking about how it could affect people you care about - people you very appropriately feel responsible for. In essence, you start living God's way when you no longer approach life as if it's all about you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hope With Skin On - #5224
I wonder how many people are living the way they are because they've never seen another way to live. Everyone they know is living the same way, so how could they think about another way? That's where you come in if you belong to Jesus Christ. He put you where you are to be a living alternative; a flesh-and-blood demonstration of another way to treat people, another way to handle stress, a way to be happy without having scars and regrets.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Beauty of an Arranged Marriage - #5248
What you don't want to do is run ahead into a relationship that you've arranged. Impatience is the greatest enemy of God's best. Remember, there is far more lonely loneliness than not being married, and that's being married to the wrong person.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why Are You Carrying That? - #5254
You've surrendered trying to be the fixer, the solver, the figure-outer, the controller. You've decided to live the truth of that promise that is repeated several times in Scripture, "The battle is the Lord's." It may have been yours when you entered His presence, but not any more. It's His battle now.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Smoother Air Higher Up - #5623
That's what elevates you higher and smoother air. Thanking God, praising God - before you ask for anything. That's what takes you from the turbulence of the Worry Zone into the peace of the God Zone.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Checking the Contents - #5619
If you allow something polluted or dead in there, it will continue to contaminate the well for a long time. That's why we have such a hard time forgetting a dirty joke or a movie scene for so long. Sin-stained stuff makes a deeper impression than we could ever imagine. So long after the song is off the charts or the show is over, the pollution planted by them will live in your heart and continue to poison your thoughts and desires.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why Rocky Always Wins - #3810
If you know Christ, you have in Him the power to be a rock-person just like Paul. Remember, the rock smashes the wave; the wave doesn't smash the rock! In football, they'll talk about whether or not a player can take a hit. Well, Paul could--and so can you--if you are drawing on the same stabilizing source of endurance.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Feeling and Touching - #3812
Growth really does come from feeling and touching - and not just for little newborn babies. It's often the difference as to whether God's children grow or not, too. Maybe you've had your "mittens" on spiritually - and you're not growing much as a follower of Christ because you're not "feeling" and "touching" things spiritually. You're getting a lot of spiritual information - but there's not much spiritual transformation.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Great Gerbil Race - #3842
Problem here. There are way too many of us who are two-legged gerbils. Watching that gerbil wearing himself out on a wheel is just too much of a mirror of how a lot of us live. We're running really hard in pursuit of the great obsession - more! More possessions, more toys, more money, more position, more recognition, more power. But our lives are increasingly spinning out of control, just like that gerbil wheel.
