In Ephesians 4 we learn that God gave gifts to the Church (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) to prepare His people for works of service. In 1 Corinthians 12 we see that God also gives spiritual gifts to the people of His Church. His Spirit empowers us so that we can stand and prevail and do His will on this earth.
Those who don't rely on God's Spirit to guide them ten to rely on law instead...on a list of do's and don'ts. In doing so, it's easy to feel like you're falling short of where God wants you to be. Remember that all you need is to rely on God's Spirit to get you through.
Throughout your Christian walk, you'll find that you don't make just one decision for Christ...you make 10,000 decisions. You decide everyday who you will obey; who you will follow.
Life in Christ may not always be easy, but life without Christ wasn't either either, was it? The difference is that now we have God's Spirit to come alongside us, be with us, and help us through.
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."
