Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Peace in the Midst of the Storm
Years ago, a major art gallery sponsored a competition for painters and they were offering prizes for the best painting on the subject of "Peace." The painting that won was a real surprise. The scene was the ocean in a violent storm. The sky was ominous, the lightning was cutting across the sky, and the waves were crashing into the rock walls of the cliffs by the shore. Where was the peace? You had to look twice to understand what was going on. There, about halfway up the cliff, was a birds' nest tucked into a tiny hollow in the rock. A mother bird was sitting on that nest with her little babies tucked underneath her, sleeping soundly. That was peace!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The New Engine Difference
A lot of us have some emissions coming out of our lives that aren't too pleasant. Too often there is anger spewing out, self-pity because we feel like a victim, or even negative, critical attitudes. ... We say or do something we later regret.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Riding in the Car That's Looking Backward
At an amusement park, you might find a roller coaster that has two lines. Over one line is a sign that says, "Forward", and over the other line a sign that says, "Backward". It's your choice to ride looking forward or looking backward. There are also two lines in life, and two cars you can ride in. One says, "Forward" and the other says, "Backward." You choose. You probably don't want to ride looking back at where you've already been. Instead, you probably want to ride looking ahead to see where you're going. ... That's what God wants for you too.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Looking Good, Going Nowhere
Are you looking good, but you’re going nowhere? Lots of people are wrong about the one thing you can't afford to be wrong about—God, and how to get to Him. If you're wrong about God, it is eternally fatal.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Dying From Doing Nothing
The people who die in a hurricane don't have to do anything to be killed by it. Many of them die from doing nothing and just staying where they are. That's how it is with sin.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Myth of Secret Sin
There is a dark side of all of us that the idea of "getting away with it" appeals to. There is this instinct in us that seems to say, "What you do when you're alone, when you're away from home, when you're "off duty", or when no one knows you, you can do it and no one will ever know. It doesn't count." What a lie!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Keep Your Fire in the Fireplace
Are you looking for satisfying sexual enjoyment in the right place? Sometimes sex can end up being very dangerous, like a fire outside of a fireplace. ... Proverbs 5 of God’s Word deals with the fire of sexual passion, a fire which God placed in our lives to bring warmth and love when you keep it in the right place. Two sexual relationships are described here.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Super Glue
Did you realize that sex is emotional and spiritual super glue? It deeply bonds people to each other whether they are aware of it or not. ... You will bond even if you never meant to. It is painful to separate when you have done something that permanently bonds.
