~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 Characteristics of the Godless – Fools & Folly – Psalm 14
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, "totally absurd!"
In Psalm 14, David diagnoses the root of godlessness, and his analysis is as piercing today as it was centuries ago. Spiritual folly is a choice of the heart, not a failure of the mind.
According to the text of Psalm 14, being a "fool" has little to do with a lack of good sense or poor judgment. The core issue is a willful, internal decision. It is a position taken "in his heart"—a conscious refusal to acknowledge that God exists.
Denial is an act of pride in the face of self-evident truth. The evidence for a Creator is overwhelming, staring us in the face. Denying the Creator when you're surrounded by creation is the ultimate breakdown in logic. Only the fool denies God.
Let's take a deep dive in Psalm 14 which deals with one of the oldest and most fundamental questions of human existence: the reality of God.
