I am reading a remarkable book by Dr. David Herzog, entitled "Aligning with Heaven." It has been a long time since I've read a book that so moved my heart, unlocking keys that we all need to move forward in our faith walk! I encourage you to get this book and spend time in it. Below is a link to Amazon where you can order at $8.15 per book:

Also wanted to let you know about a movie that has been out for a couple of weeks, but has received little attention. Isn't it just like the enemy to drown out a powerfully inspirational film with all the horror cult movies of Halloween-time? The movie "Woodlawn" was awesome and will have a powerful effect on you, your family, your schools, and your churches. It is a true story that takes place in the worst days of the Birmingham, AL race riots and how one school turned hate into the love of Christ. If it has gone from theaters, watch for it in your Redbox or video rental place.
Lastly, I wanted to share something with all of you. I have written over the past year about the old church building the Holy Spirit led us to in July of 2014. It was in a terrible state of disrepair, and we hauled 8 TONS of debris and trash out of the place; then cleaned and painted. Our co-pastor, Ritchie, used his awesome God-given skills of plumbing and wiring to renovate the building and in the midst of all this cleaning and repair, God was also cleaning and repairing His people! We have been worshiping together as "The Door of Hope" for over a year now. The Lord gave that name from Hosea 2:15 - "I will make your valley of trouble a door of hope." We knew this meant that in the dark days ahead, this would be a place where people could find a refuge of His love and His hope, being healed of all the old wounds and baggage, and being awakened to new purpose for His Kingdom! I made a video documenting our first year at The Door of Hope and wanted to share it with all of you. It is only 15 minutes long, but will take you through the refinement process of a place and a people, as we celebrated the Feasts of the Lord, washing one another's feet at Yom Kippur, experiencing Mikvehs (baptisms) in the water, rejoicing at the Feast of Tabernacles, and worshiping the Lord in the sanctuary. Please watch and enjoy (below). And don't forget to visit our Youtube channel, which has quite a few teachings loaded now. We are adding to it every week.
