~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.

Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?
How often have you heard someone say, “That’s not fair, life is not fair, or God is not Fair”. What does it mean to be “fair”?
When we see tragedy occurring throughout the world, or we experience something in our life that hurts, we sometimes ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?
In spite of what you see happening in our world, or in your life, know that your complete faith and trust must be in God. Nothing happens in our life unless God ordains it, or allows it. God is good, and know that whatever happens, he is working it for our good.
We are not the first generation to experience disasters, tragedy, or have suffered at the hands of someone with evil intentions. Oftentimes, God allows these things to happen because we are being disciplined, or its part of a greater plan.
For example, remember what happened to Joseph when his brothers threw him in the pit? They meant it for “evil”, but God allowed it to happen for “good”. Joseph went from the pit to the palace, so he could be in a position to help the people survive the famine.
There are many things our minds will never quite understand. When some of us see suffering, catastrophic events, or what is perceived as “unfair”, we are quick to say “Why doesn’t God do something?”. Actually, what you see happening, is God doing something for a greater purpose than we know. Rest assured, God still has everything under control.
God is not fair. He is absolutely Excellent! God is a just God.
In this Episode, we will look at a small book in the Bible, the book of Habakkuk (haa-buh-kuhk), It will help us answer the question, “Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People”?
