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."

Submission: Following His Voice

Chapter 5 of Ephesians has a lot to say about submission. What's this whole "submission" thing about, anyway?

God's concept of submission is much different from the way we as human beings define it. Often people think of submission as oppressive. But Jesus is not oppressive or demanding of the Church. He doesn't treat His people like slaves, but as brothers. He gives them authority over spiritual things.

One thing to keep in mind is that we are living in enemy occupied territory. God can see the territory all around you. He knows what is coming your way. He knows how to escape the troubles that might be heading toward you. Submission to God, then, is to follow His voice, His guidance, knowing that He is leading you in safe paths.
