    When The King Was Born

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 20, 2018

    The birth of Jesus involved both joy and sorrow. These emotions are vivid in the Christmas season. Jesus came to deal with both -- to give us joy and a sense of peace in our sorrows.

    1. When a King is Born: • You can hear the shots of artillery in a 41-gun salute. • Flags billow and chapel bells peal loud clanging music into the night.\ • Champagne corks stream through the air by the thousands. • People stand together and sing choruses in the street. • Clouds of euphoria make ...read more

    Elvis put it on everything . . . rings, necklaces, even his jet. It was more than the name of his band, it was his slogan. TCB is more than a slogan for us. It is our misson. This examination of our daily duties as priests will help you TCB!

    The problem with buildings is unless you’re a professional builder, you might look at two buildings and believe they are built adequate, it’s not till the storms come and then you find out which one was built with superior craftsmanship and materials!

    1 Cor. 3:9-15-For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

    The Bible makes the control & proper use of the tongue a matter of great importance. The tongue is far too prone to excess, perversion & pollution. But the Christian who gains control over the tongue can control his life as well.
