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."

Darkness vs. Light

Ephesians 5:8-10 reads like this in "The Message":

8-10You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it! The good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.

Darkness and light...there's nothing farther apart from each other. You once were darkness, but now you're light. Only the cross of Christ can make that change in you.

Once you decide to step in the light, don't think that's the end of your old life trying to creep in. Change is a process. You need to make many decisions each and every day for Christ. This is how you bring yourself under God's governance.

Being a child of light isn't about being "good." First and foremost, it's about pursuing the Lord. "Seek first the Kingdom of God." That's what it's all about.
