~Walking In The Light~

~Walking In The Light~

In this podcast, Elders Randall & DeBorrah K. Ogans share biblically based insight, guidance, and advice on Life & Living, Marriage & Relationships, Family & Parenting, Faith & Belief, Church & Religion, Spiritual Health, and more. Weekly episodes encourage listeners to live life out loud, walking/living in the light, doing what the Lord requires of us in every area of life. What does the Lord require of us? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Jesus said "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life". To walk in the light is to have a daily commitment to living out a righteous life. Blessed(happy) are those who walk in the light of His presence. His word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. For it is in Him that we live, and move, and have our being. This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Always keep in mind, the transforming power of the Lord, is truth. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and everything else will be added unto you. If you haven't already, make a commitment today, to start Walking In the Light. Subscribe to the Podcast and let us aid you in your walk with the Lord.

In everyday language, we often use the word "fool" casually, as a playground insult or a lighthearted jab at someone's silly mistake. But when King David uses this word in Psalm 14, he’s not talking about a simple lack of intelligence. He invokes the term with a serious and somber weight, describing not an intellectual failing, but a profound spiritual condition. To him, the idea that God does not exist is, frankly, ...

What is Sin ?  Is it a list of rules you're not supposed to break? I can recall years ago that certain denominations considered the following to be sin: 

  • Going to the movies.
  • Dancing
  • Women wearing make-up or pants. Always had to wear long dresses.  I remember years ago, Elder DeBorrah was a guest speaker at a women's event at a local church in one of these denominations, when she addressed this subject.

In this episode, we focus on the New Testament book of III John. It contrasts effective spiritual leadership with an immature and self-serving leader who sought preeminence, was unwelcoming to visiting teachers, and lacked genuine hospitality, ultimately hindering true fellowship. 

These actions are detrimental because they disrupt true fellowship, create chaos and conflict, hinder the spread of the Gospel, and place personal power ...

Psalm 5 reflects King David's personal experience of being slandered and betrayed. His life was filled with challenges, yet he learned to "ALWAYS TRUST GOD!"  

 

David's journey demonstrates that despite complex situations and feeling burdened, turning to the Lord and patiently waiting on Him brings unexplainable peace. This peace comes from recognizing God as the ultimate source of security and significance, who ...

The phrase "Let The Redeemed Of The Lord Say So" (Psalm 107:2) is often used in worship, but its deeper meaning regarding why and how people are redeemed is not always fully understood. 

 "Saying So" means acknowledging Christ's redemptive work and living a transformed life.

To "Say So" as the redeemed of the Lord means to acknowledge and declare a profound understanding of "Redemption".  ...

When you hear the word “beauty”, where does your mind usually go. Is it the images we see everywhere, the perfect face, the ideal body type, the latest trends? 

True beauty comes from within, specifically from one's soul, which is the essence of who they truly are. It is not superficial or external, but is deeply embedded into the fabric of one's being by God, who is love.  

This inner beauty flourishes as an individual emb...
