A new beginning presents a great book from Pastor Greg Lori called Hope for America.

Yes, we're in a political season right now.

We need to vote.

We should be informed on the issues as Americans and as Christians, but we should also recognize the ultimate

hope for our nation is turning back to God.

So I talk about this and a lot more in a book I've written called Hope for America and I want to send it to you

for your gift of any size. Get your copy at harvest.org.

Coming up today, Pastor Greg Lori points out it's often the tough times of life, not the good times that turn our hearts to God.

Prosperity has a tendency to make people proud and self-sufficient.

You don't think you need God when you have your salary or your investment to your career

or your homes and your health and your families.

But when an economy goes south, or a home burns to the ground or your health

fails then you turn to God and you're reminded of what really matters.

This is the day when the lost I found.

This is the day for a new beginning.

Amazing Grace and sweetness now.

Again, you hear from the Angels to sing it?

This is the day, the day

when life begins.

Trials strengthen our face. Today, I'll life begin.

Trials strengthen our faith.

Just like exercise strengthens muscles.
