~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.

The Nobody's Perfect Club
Today we want to challenge a phrase we hear all the time. We hear it in the world, as well as in the church. That phrase is “Nobody’s Perfect”.
How many times have you heard that said? How many times have you said it yourself?
On the surface, it sounds like someone is asking for a bit of grace. However, it becomes a weaponized excuse to defend behaviors the word of God explicitly calls wrong.
We want to take aim at that phrase, as it’s often used to justify when we’ve done something wrong or displayed a character flaw. It gives an individual endless room to justify shortcomings.
Using excuses in many cases is not about acknowledging human weakness, but is an active choice against growing, an active rejection of the call to mature spiritually.
If that’s you, then you are a member of the “Nobody’s Perfect Club”, which is not a club you should belong too.
Whenever I hear that phrase, I’m reminded of the scripture where God said to “be ye perfect, for I am perfect”.
God wouldn’t tell us to do something that couldn’t be done. So, it becomes clear that perhaps we don’t quite understand what God means, when he tells us to be perfect.
Listen as we take this deep dive into “perfection”, what it means, and what it doesn’t mean.
