"The First Reformed Church of Bulacan has a mission outreach in Albuera, Leyte - the Protestant Reformed Fellowship in Albuera (PRFA).  As many of you know, the saints there were affected by Typhoon Yolanda (international name, Haiyan), with d amage to their homes and the church building.
 
Last week, FRCB was able to send a delegation of two men from their consistory to visit the saints there and help them in their need.  The delegation reported that the members of the fellowship there were most grateful to God for His protection in preserving their lives and keeping them from injury.  We are thankful that the assistance which has been received has provided for the needs of these brothers and sisters in Christ."

Dearest Friends,

 
The 23rd issue of Salt Shakers is now out!
 
God's Word is central to us. Jesus Christ commanded the apostle Peter to "Feed my sheep".
 
In this issue, we tackle some big questions like...
How important is the Preaching of God's Word, really?
What does God's Word teach us to look for in a Girlfriend?

How are we to Build a New Godly Home according to God's Word?

Is the Apocrypha part of God's Word
What does God's Word teach us about Worship, Honouring our Parents and Confessing our Faith?
 
"Forever settled in the heavens,
Thy word, O Lord, shall firmly stand;
Thy faithfulness shall never fail;
The earth abides at Thy command."
 
Do we love God's word so much that we love to sing it as well?

Please take a look at what this latest magazine has to offer!

New Issue of "Covenant Reformed News"

CR News head

The latest issue of the "Covenant Reformed News" has been published, and once again it contains two interesting and edifying articles.

The first is by Rev.Angus Stewart, pastor of the Covenant PRC in Ballymena, N.Ireland. It is titled "The Dove-Like Spirit at Jesus' Baptism". From his article you will learn why the dove was such a fitting symbol of the Holy Spirit at the time Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.

The second article is penned by emeritus PRC Seminary professor Herman Hanko and is based on a question from a reader. Taking a look at 2 Kings 1 and Luke 9, Hanko explains why "fire from heaven" was appropriate in one context and not in another. You will want to read this article as well.

Besides finding the individual articles at the links provided here, you will also find the "CR News" in pdf form attached here.
