Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Star Wars - And Our Wars - #4364
Spiritual power you can harness to help you win battles that you can't win with your own resources - that's actually a pretty interesting idea. Of course, our battles aren't about storm troopers or villains with light sabers. We're trying to make a marriage work, to be the parent our child needs us to be, to beat the personal monsters of anger, depression, addiction, selfishness, loneliness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Virus Scan - #4381
You know your soul can pick up viruses, too? And if you don't catch them right away, they can spread throughout your system and infect everything. That's why you need to install God's virus scan. David talks about it in our word for today from the Word of God from Psalm 139:23-24.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Conquest Without Risk - #4387
It doesn't just apply to reaching the top of a mountain - it pretty much describes everything worth doing in life. No risk, no meaningful conquest - a triumph without glory. Low risk, low return. High risk, high return. It's a principle that defines spiritual greatness - or spiritual mediocrity.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Big Game And The Big Letdown - #4391
It doesn't just happen in sports - it's happened to most of us who are trying to follow Jesus Christ. Take the prophet Elijah, for example. For him, the Big Game was at a place called Mt. Carmel where he challenged 450 false prophets of Baal to the ultimate showdown - whose God would send fire from heaven to consume the sacrifice on the altar?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Riding to Glory - #4395
For most of us, our ride through this life will last, on average, about 70 years. Some will get more, some a lot less. The question is how much of a mark will you leave in the years you have left? Inside all of us is this deep desire to make our life count, a desire to do something significant while we're here.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Putting Clean On Over Dirty - #4566
Covering up your dirty with a layer of clean isn't going to cut it. It's self-deception, living a lie, defying God, and building up judgment. Don't you think it's time to come clean - even if it hurts? It will hurt a whole lot more not to come clean. You know you're sick of that battle inside you. It's tearing you apart - the guilt, the fear of getting caught, the shame. And you know God is sick of this charade.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Liberating Power of a Few Hallelujahs - #4575
Jesus says He wants to trade our bondages for freedom, our mourning for comfort, our ugly ashes for something beautiful, and our despair for praise. And liberation from so much that's dark in life is rooted in wearing that garment of praise, no matter what situation we're in. Praise can set you free from discouragement, self-pity, frustration, bitterness, even grief. And, on any given day, there's always something to praise Him for.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Beautiful Scars - #4592
He turns trouble for us into comfort for others. He's the God of all compassion. He's the God of all comfort. If we open up our scars, and our hurt and our pain to Him for the rest of our lives, He gives us something to give other people who are hurting. In other words, in God's skillful hands, the ugly can become something beautiful.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Longer it Waits, the Harder it Gets - #4593
Maybe there's a strained relationship in your life right now. Maybe there have been too many sunsets and bad feelings toward someone. It will never be smaller than it is right now. It's probably bigger than it used to be, but this is the smallest it will ever be. This issue will never be easier to address than right now, no matter how hard that might seem to you. It's only going to get harder. It's only going to get more costly, and you'll only turn darker inside.
Today is always your best opportunity to go to that person and do whatever it takes to repair things.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - There's Only One Way to Portray Jesus - #4596
All the life comes from the vine. It looks like it's coming from the branch, but it's only coming through the branch. We're just Jesus branches. This is the liberating secret of the Christian experience. Jesus through me - not me doing it for Jesus.
