Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When There's Nothing Left to Hold - #4805
It's a fact of life. We will ultimately lose whatever or whoever we've been hanging onto except for the love of Jesus Christ, poured out on that cross. It's not just a cross. It is the only anchor that will be there when there's nothing else to hold onto.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Channel Choice - #4813
You may not be able to help the fact that a sexual input came on your screen, but you totally decide whether or not it stays on your screen. You can't afford to dwell on anything that feeds your anger either, or your depression, or your complaining, something that feeds your worry, or your materialism, your greed, or your spending problem, or that feeds that sinful habit. Maybe that's why you've continued to struggle and maybe you've lost so much in that part of your life because you keep feeding it. You keep stopping to watch and listen to a channel that feeds the sinful side of you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Bigger Purpose Than You Ever Dreamed - #4822
Just like Esther, just like Ashley Smith, you have been divinely positioned to save the lives of people you live close to, work with, go to school with. God does these life-saving divine match-ups as He did that amazing night in Ashley Smith's apartment. He puts you with people who can be reached by someone like you, however unqualified you may feel you are.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Good News About Your Bad News - #4823
The natural response is to focus on what the storm has taken. The healing response is to focus on what the storm can produce.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One "Unloseable" Hope - #4729
It's possible to have a lot of religion and totally miss the relationship with God that you were made for. Any hope we get from anyone or anything on earth is just an unsatisfying substitute for belonging to God. When you belong to Him and you know you do, your soul finally can, as the psalmist said, "rest."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Drought School - #4115
It's amazing how a drought can get you praying - any kind of drought - even if the drought is financial, or medical, or family, or one of life's emotional or spiritual dry spells. I was reminded of what one veteran farmer told me a few years ago. He said, "The farther we have gotten from the land, the farther we have gotten from God." There's something to that.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Heightened Alert - #4126
In other words, when it comes to your very real spiritual enemy who would love to bring you down, be alert - and be defiant. Years ago, C. S. Lewis suggested that there are two extremes when it comes to our attitude toward the devil - ignoring him or being too curious about him. Lewis suggested that either attitude is one that your enemy can find very useful. Ignorance allows the devil to have his way in your life because you don't realize who's doing it or how he works. But, undue curiosity about the devil gives him a means of actually drawing you in his direction.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Tick Bites - #4131
Actually, you need to do that spiritually, too. Because there are "little ticks" that we get bitten with that can - if they're not removed quickly - cause us more pain and more problems than we could ever imagine. Small invasions; major damage. There's an enlightening example of that in Hebrews 12:15, our word for today from the Word of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Cross in the Rubble - #4139
The picture is etched forever in my mind and, no doubt, in the minds of many who worked what they called "The Pile" at Ground Zero - the cross towering over a mountain of rubble. You know, that may be a picture of where you're going to find hope in the "rubble" you're in right now.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hungry for "Something More" - #4837
There are two major spiritual frontiers to hunger for. First, greater intimacy with Jesus. I'm by nature a doer. I'm more Martha than I am Mary, busy running around serving Jesus. But I want to experience more of the realness of His presence and His love, the sound of His voice in my soul. I want to be a lot more like Him a lot more minutes of the day. The second frontier is a greater impact for Jesus; making a greater difference for Him than I've ever made before.
