  • Rev. Fr. Rodel Balagtas: ‘There are no exceptions to holiness’
    March 24, 2018  |  In The News  |  

    “Moses learned that God makes no exceptions for holiness. When God sets forth a requirement of His people, He most certainly demands it of the leaders. God wanted to make Moses’ life a highway of holiness through which He could bring redemption to millions of people. Obedience to Christ’s commands always brings fulfillment. When the Lord gives you instructions, obey immediately. Don’t wait until you have figured it all out and everything makes perfect sense to you. HE does not usually reveal all the details of His will when He first speaks to you. Instead, He tells you enough so you can implement what He has said, but He withholds enough information so that you must continue to rely upon His guidance.” – Henry T. Blackaby and Richard Blackaby, Experiencing God Daily Devotionals, 1998.
