SAINTS PETER & PAUL   Micah, Chapter 7, verse 17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like crawling things on the ground; They will come quaking from their strongholds; they will tremble in FEAR of you, the LORD, our God.   Micah’s name means “who is like Yahweh”. Be still and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10) Let us this day practice silence as much as possible and contemplate on our God and Savior. Say the Shema Yisrael and call on the Holy Spirit to make this day a turning point in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you realize the universe is more than what we can see, touch and feel. We are not crawly things and we need not build strongholds.   May our fear, be the Holy fear, of men of God. This day let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us to know God is without limitations. Help us in the quiet of this day to realize that Jesus Christ, the begotten son of the Living God, came to have mercy on me a sinner. In our silence, we may this day discover, we ...

Unlike Isaiah, who was a native of the holy city, Micah was an outsider from the countryside and must have been a controversial figure. He would have been unpopular with the leaders whom he condemned and the wealthy whom he c...

OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP Jonah, Chapter 1, verse 16: Seized with great fear of the LORD, the men offered sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.   Christ shows us real men sacrifice.   Those leaders, who stop seeking new challenges; stop growing, inevitably stop leading. John Maxwell states, “When we stop sacrificing, we stop succeeding.” [1]   If you want to become a great leader, you must be willing to make sacrifices.   1.       There is no success without sacrifice. Every person who has achieved any success in life has made sacrifices to do so.   2.       Leaders are often asked to give up more than others. Leaders have to give up their rights. Leaders need to learn how to put others ahead of themselves. It’s not easy, but you need to give up more than the people you lead.   3.       You must keep giving up, to stay up. John Maxwell takes the Law of...
