Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Overdrawing Grace - #4061
You get in trouble when you run ahead of the deposit that you need to cover what you're doing. Especially when it's God's deposit to provide the resources you need to cover the challenge you're facing. See, He's promised He would do that - but only in daily deposits.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why You Can Make It The Rest Of The Way - #4071
It may be that right now you're struggling to finish. You were running OK, but now you're hurting, you're limping, you're wounded. Maybe you're disillusioned. You're burning out, you're wearing out, and you feel like dropping out. You look down the track at the ground you've still got to cover, and you wonder if you can possibly make it feeling like this. It hurts so bad, you're so depleted, it's tempting to give up your calling, or your marriage, or your commitment, your loved one, your dream.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Downhill Thrill and the Uphill Bill - #4078
It was my son who reminded me, actually, as we collapsed at the top of this particularly grueling hill. He said, "You know, Dad, this is a lot like sin." He's right. We had a great time sailing down the hill - but it didn't last long. What did last long was the price we paid for that brief thrill - grinding and groaning our way going up the next hill.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Poison in a Package Called Love - #5228
You are getting into something that will deeply hurt you, it will hurt the people you love, it will hurt Jesus - the one who loves you most - all because it seems to offer love. Some of life's biggest, most life-devastating mistakes have been made for love, or what looked like it would be love. But take it from David and from millions who have fallen for a love bug. The destruction it will cause just isn't worth it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You Can't See the Way to Go - #5232
The "don't know" times are God's instrument to drive you deeper into Him, to surrender all self-reliance for a desperate dependency on Him. You may not know which way to go, but you don't have to stand there fearful, paralyzed or marching in circles. Your Lord, your Shepherd is placing His arm inside yours to lead you where you could never go without Him.

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 Your Big Bowl Suddenly Got Small - #5252
For us to have the better perspective, the closer walk, the inner power that Jesus wants to give us, He often has to slow us down and temporarily shrink our world.

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 - The Wreckage of a Runaway Mouth - #5271
Highway engineers know you have to find a way to stop a runaway truck. A truck with no brakes can do a lot of damage. So can a mouth with no brakes - something's that's a lot more common than runaway trucks. Many of us know all too personally the damage that can be inflicted by a runaway mouth. We still carry the memories, the scars, the negative effects of the names we've been called, the putdowns, the backstabbing, the verbal cruelty, intended or unintended. Sadly, though, we're not just the victims of someone else's runaway mouth. We're also the victimizers.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Stopping To Recharge - #5272
A cell phone needs some down time to recharge so it can serve again, and so do you. In fact, God created you that way. That is the Sabbath principle that He built into our creation, and He does not intend for us to work all the time. He made us so we would take regular rest.
