~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.

What Is Sin ?
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.
I'll never forget how you could hear a pin drop when she stated, "Even a barn door knows when it needs paint".
Sin is an offense or immoral act, a transgression against divine law, and anything that contradicts God's desires for humanity. Ultimately, anything that separates us from God is considered sin.
Humanity inherited a "proclivity towards sin" from Adam and Eve's fall. Their "original sin" was disobeying God by eating from the forbidden tree. Their sin was not eating the fruit, but "disobedience" to God's word. They decided to do what God told them not to do. As a result, humanity became separated from God.
But God provided a way back, by sending his son Jesus Christ, to save us from the power of sin reigning in our lives. Jesus Christ came to restore humanity's connection to God. His sinless life, death, and resurrection redeemed believers.
