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."

Come to Give

There are many people in churches today who only come to receive. These people tend to be critical when no one comes to call on them when they were absent. They feel they weren't missed at all.

However, it's the people who come to church to give, not just receive, who are missed when they are absent.

Church is a place for each member to minister to others. Those who come only to receive, and who don't notify anyone when they need someone to call on them, are less likely to be missed. There are those in church who do care and do want to help, but they aren't always aware of the situation.

Evaluate your own habits. Are you a giver or a receiver?

If you notice anyone who is absent, take the time to give them a call. It might take a little effort to find their number, but your effort will be appreciated.
