If your ladder doesn’t reach to God, it’s too short. If you’re living for now, you’re living for too brief a span. Your ladder ought to reach into eternity. We don’t achieve it momentarily. It’s a long pilgrimage. It goes through some deep valleys. More: bit.ly/4f2nv8D

We’re going to pray. We’re going to have revival meetings. We’re going to fail lots of times; but we’re not going to stop! We’ll to stay before the Lord. We’re going to try again and stay with it until the Lord says there’s no more need to try. More: bit.ly/3Rb573w

When we live in the face of desolation, death, war, misery, and despair, instead of weeping, instead of wailing and lamentation, as we face the inevitable days that lie ahead, dark as they may be, is a sign from God that our triumph draweth nigh. More: bit.ly/4sS5WM7

The most stupendous miracle of all time is the entrance of God into our human flesh, walking as a man, breathing our air, speaking our words, dying our death. All of destiny and history were turned toward that mighty, miraculous, and eventful day. More: bit.ly/4svmWYl

We stand in the presence of a catastrophic holocaust. Earth is thousands of years old, generations have come and gone, we’re still spiritually the same, lost and undone. Lord, is there not some better way? There is - the church and bowing in prayer. More: bit.ly/4tXXPi3
