It is hoped that this will be a regular publication, featuring contributions by a wide array of PCA members, affiliates and allies. This will be a place for community news, worshipping resources, theological reflection and communication from Council and Conference.

HE has & for all... Believe it...

Written by

RevMcGuire on

a reoccurring theme of Isaiah, and throughout the Bible is “ HE has ”,,, so as we reflect on Christmas and what we did or did not get – I wanted to know what has the Lord fulfilled in your life... what is still missing, did you get what you ask for... what have we been given that we take for granted... the Scriptures today tell us so much – did you hear it too? Lets look at Isaiah, “for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness. It is the Lord God ... Read Full Story

"PEACE unto YOU"

Written by

RevMcGuire on

Blessed are the peacemakers, and if peace truly begins with me – what is peace? What am I doing to promote peace from here! What does it take to live in peace with one another? They say it can be done – but who are they? Why aren't they taking any responsibility or action to promote or at least initiate peace from where they are? What does peace look like - feel like – would we know it or are we so accustomed to things the way they are – not expecting it to get much better? Let alone totally opposite of what we've ...

HOPE – ful/less as we enter into the Advent Season, as a Church Body and Individually, coming right out of Thanksgiving and jumping right into the Christmas Season, I was wondering are we Hopeful or Hopeless? Knowing that in all things good and bad we are to give Thanks – we too are to be watchful for the Lords promised return... So are we Hopeful or Hopeless, have we like the people of Christ's day given up hope of a Messiah, or have and are we ever watchful, that the Lord does keep His promises whether we do or not.. “A Day” is ...

HIS Most Gracious Rule

Written by

RevMcGuire on

HIS Most Gracious Rule as I prepared for today's Spiritual Reflections - I wondered does anyone actually know what the Most Gracious Rule is, and if so why aren't we all following it... as I understand it – it goes something like this - “to Love as HE has Loved us” how much harder could that be, with the very same Grace given to us – by extending Grace just as we have been given and even more so when we may feel like doing otherwise... then and only then can we find HIS WORD upon our hearts and minds, simply because ...
