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."

Be Careful How You Live

"Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light." (Ephesians 5:6-8)

"Be very careful, then, how you live." (Ephesians 5:15)

We are living in a day where it's easy to slip up and not be careful how we live, as Christians. Because of this, all kinds of deceptions have entered the Church. The devil has been doing battle against the Church for thousands of years. He has lots of experience.

You might have been a Christian for 20 years or more and so you think you're ready for the battle. You're not. Your 20 years don't stack up against the devil's 1000+ years.

Paul's admonition in Ephesians 5 to be careful how you live follows with these words:

"Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. ... Be filled with the Spirit." (v. 17,18)

You know what it looks like when someone is filled with a negative emotion, like rage or remorse. Let's show the world what it looks like when we're filled with the Spirit!
