Welcome!

Isn't it true that all of us are "Walking It Out" day by day with the Lord? We are in this journey together—perhaps in different stages and circumstances, but certainly not alone. Let us help each other by lifting one another up and being encouraged to continue on this marvelous journey. In the end, this journey will lead us to the face of God.

"Walking It Out" is a Sunday school class offered at Praise Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and taught by Doug and Nancy Thomas. We are glad you came to visit us here at this site and hope that you find something helpful in your own faith as you are "Walking It Out."

Imitators

Ephesians 5:1-7 tells us to be imitators of God. In Greek, the word used for "imitator" means: pattern, likeness, good representation.

When you think about it, that's an awful tall order. Imitate God? Who can do that? But as we come to God with a broken and contrite heart, recognizing that we can't do it on our own, He gives us all we need to accomplish it.

The biggest thing you need is the desire. You must hunger and thirst to be more like God.

Remember that you control what you love. Let your love be led by righteousness and truthfulness. When you hunger and thirst to be more like God, you will be satisfied.
