I have covered the tragic murder of Pastor Fred Winters because I was encouraged by the attitude of the pastor towards faith and vision. I wish I had known him, because I’m sure he would have inspired me even more. Much has been written about his family and I’ve shied away from that subject not wanting to sensationalize their grief, but then I found this video.
Last Sunday I preached a message on the difference in having circumstantial faith and in trusting God completely even when everything around us screams otherwise. (You can watch that HERE.) Cindy Winters, the widow of Reverend Winters, is a perfect example of this kind of steady faith. She takes a tragedy and uses it as an opportunity to share her faith in Jesus Christ! Wow! Listen to her story. She gives the recipe of going through the worst times of life.
God’s grace is sufficient!! What a wonderful christian example of love. If God allows events to get worse for us who believe in Christ as the risen Savior, will we be as steadfast in our faith?? My hope and prayer is yes!
Wow! Thanks for sharing that video.
wow..i am in awe of this woman’s testimony…don’t know that I could be so forgiving…
