Everybody loves an underdog. How about those 2004 Red Sox as they faced their formidable nemesis the Yankees in the American League Championship Series down 3 games to 0. The Sox came back, winning 4 straight games, a feat no other major league team has ever done. They then went on to break the dreaded “Bambino’s Curse”, that 86 year World Series victory drought, ever since they traded Babe Rut ... Read Christian Column

We all need encouragement from time to time when the journey of life seems just too trying. Sometimes we will find the hope we need when the Lord sends another along our path to speak words of life to us. But many times God is waiting to see if we will take advantage of all that he has given us, to encourage ourselves! Some days I get up excited about the day before me. I’m feeling happy, insp ...

“This Untoward Generation” Why My Generation Needs to Reverse It’s Spiritual Course

“And with many other words did he testify and exhort saying, save yourselves from this untoward generation.” –Acts 2:40 It’s difficult to ignore the austerity with which Peter spoke in this particular verse. In fact, the use of the word “untoward” (meaning problematic) is certainly appropriate in underscoring the gravity of the text. Yet, while this warning was given almost 2,000 years ago, the ...

When I was young, ever since I can remember, the feeling of joy I got when I walked outside into a yard filled with many colors, browns, reds, yellows and tans, truly captivated my little interest, but looking around now, I’m beginning to understand why. Sniffing the stiff and chilly air, those leaves tell quite an interesting story from the year before. A story of life, and sadly, a story of deat ... Read Christian Column

The Real Life of a Pastors Wife – God’s Sovereignty in the Midst of Suffering

Writer Author Filoiann Wiedenhoff
Type Christian Column  - Encouragement
Posted Monday, January 3, 2011

In this position, I have experienced the attacks of spiritual warfare as well as the chastening of the Lord. In either scenario whether it be pruning or opposition it can be very painful at the time and part of that healing process is learning and understanding the sovereignty of God. I believe God is God and I am not and everything He allows in my life is filtered through His loving hands. ... Read Christian Column

The Real Life of a Pastors Wife – Expectations

Posted Tuesday, November 23, 2010

One of the hardest lessons I have learned as a pastors wife was the invisible but true reality of having expectations. Expectations that come from the outside such as; family members, church members and friends but also from the inside; the internal expectations one puts on themselves. I’m not sure which one is more harmful but I can assure you from my own experience, they both can be very damag ... Read Christian Column

One may go a long way after one is tired. ~ French Proverb ~ There's a story about the California gold rush that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went prospecting for gold. They discovered a vein of the shining ore, staked a claim, and proceeded to get down to the serious business of getting the gold out of the mine. All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The ... Read Christian Column

I used to believe that being sick was a sign of weakness–almost a moral failure. I was proud of myself because I rarely ever got sick. Then I got really sick! Four years ago I developed allergies that caused chronic sinus infections. I tried everything to cure it but nothing worked. I ended up relying on daily doses of cold & sinus medication with extra ibuprofen. I also needed antibiotics two ... Read Christian Column

I have been sick this week and in a panic to get better, so I looked up remedies that could aid a speedy recovery. One remedy was to gargle with baking soda and warm water to heal a sore throat. Apparently baking soda helps get your body back in balance. It actually did work, and it made me think of how the Bible is the balancing agent for our Spirit. Each hour I would stand by the kitchen sink wi ... Read Christian Column

Who would have thought that God, in His all knowing and all surpassing power, had a plan for me to be married to a pastor. If you knew me twenty five years ago you probably would have thought the exact opposite and would have said, “No Way! Not her…” I want to introduce myself by sharing with you how I came to know Jesus Christ. Apart from Him I can do nothing. I remember back as a young t ... Read Christian Column
