Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Child Test
If you want to be great, be a servant. If you want to be a servant, show how you treat children. This is so important because to be a leader for Jesus, we don’t promote ourselves, we promote other people. We make ourselves available for their needs. Nowhere does this show up more than in how we respond to a child. ... Children have no money. They have no influence. They have no votes. The issue is how you treat people who can’t do anything for you. For many adults, a child is a bother and a not someone that matters. A child is often in the way of our adult business, but they are supposed to be our most important adult business.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Only a Reflection
Mirror Lake, in that dark cavern, has little beauty of its own. It’s really an underground puddle. It reflects the beauty of what is above it, and that makes it come to life. The same thing can happen to you, if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and are spending time with Him. If you allow Him to transform you and make you more like Him, it is possible as an ordinary human being to have an extraordinary impact on someone’s life simply because you display Jesus to them.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Getting Your Mouth Open
Years ago God was saying to His people—and today He is saying to us—that His people are under-living. There is so much more He wants to give you and do for you. There is a voice inside many of us that is saying, “There has got to be something more in this relationship with Christ and in this Christian living.” ... This is not news to make us materially prosperous, but to know that God has more power, more peace, more love, and more significance to open up our lives so we can really make a difference. The problem is that He can’t get our mouths open, just like trying to feed a baby. God wants us to want His best for our lives, but we have to open our mouths.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why It Is Taking So Long To Put It All Together
God gives four things He wants us to do: humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. Do you know what God seems to be saying? “Let me work in you, then I can do those things for you. Before I can solve your puzzles, I have to solve you.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Starting Your Trip With a Full Tank
Each day is a long trip, with stress, surprises, and people pulling at us; and it’s tempting to just take off on the trip without that time with Jesus, or cutting that time short. We can’t afford that.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Seeing Where the Wind Will Take You
This really says that we need to take the way we’re going today and turn it over to the Lord. Too many of us let our relationship with Him deteriorate into something general, boring, theological, or theoretical.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When 'Charge!' Beats 'Retreat' - #5683
Well, maybe right now you're facing a big risk, or a big job, or a big setback, or a big threat, and everything in you and around you is signaling, "Retreat!" Your fears are great, you're feeling discouraged. Remember, God's ancient people made their biggest mistake turning away from the Promised Land because they were afraid and they got discouraged. You'll probably miss God's best if your eyes are on the circumstances or your feelings.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Storm Peace - #5658
Take care of the people and stay focused on your mission. Nestle beneath the protection of your Savior, the God whose you are and whom you serve. Remember, peace is not the absence of a storm. It is peace in the middle of your storm.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Keep Going When Your Tank is Empty - #5648
If you dwell on how stressed you are, or how tired, or how sick or overwhelmed, you're done. You're dwelling on your empty tank. But if, on those depleted days, you consciously focus on your Lord's inexhaustible strength, your Lord's unlimited power, you will be able to keep driving when you thought you couldn't go another mile.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Living Unplugged - #4460
Pretty amazing: Martha has the Son of God right there in her home, and she is stressed, and critical, and miserable. That's when Jesus lets her know that all the important things she is hustling around doing are not as important as what Mary is doing - sitting at His feet, listening to Him. If life has become way too stressful and overwhelming for you, it's a good possibility you've been making that same mistake.
